CR-05 Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan.
91.520(a)
This document represents the City of Temecula's 2021-22 Program Year Consolidated Annual
Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) related to the City's Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program. Pursuant to the federal regulations applicable to the CDBG Program, the
CAPER is prepared annually to evaluate the City's overall progress and performance in meeting
the priority activities identified within its Strategic Plan and Annual Action Plan. The CAPER
provides the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the public, and the City an
opportunity to review Temecula's housing and community development accomplishments for
the 2021-22 Program Year, with a special focus on those activities funded by the CDBG program.
The City funded ten (9) public service activities, one (1) capital improvement project, and one
(1) housing rehabilitation program in the 2021-22 Annual Action Plan. Some of the specific
accomplishments for the 2021-22 Program Year include:
• In conjunction with the Fair Housing Council, provided fair housing services by assisting
437 clients, including 436 landlord -tenant mediation services and 1 anti -discrimination
complaints
• Provided 56 low- and moderate -income youth with clothing and school supplies through
the Assistance League
• Completed 5 housing rehabilitation projects through the Habitat for Humanity Critical
Home Maintenance and Repair Improvement Program, for a total of 43 housing units over
the life of the program
• Served 39 persons experiencing homelessness, or those at risk of homelessness, through
the City's Homeless Prevention and Diversion Program
• Operated the City's Help Center to provide homelessness services
• Assisted 76 victims of domestic violence through SAFE Family Justice Center
• Assisted 75 victims of domestic violence through Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center.
• Provided case management for 89 persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of
homelessness through Community Mission of Hope

• Completed on capital improvement project (West Side Business Park Improvements).

COVID-19 Allocations
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security (CARES) Act and it was signed into law on March 27, 2020, authorizing $2.2 trillion for a variety
of measures to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the CARES Act, HUD
provided special allocations of CDBG funds to the City of Temecula. In total, the City received $1,193,916
of CDBG-CV funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic as follows:
CDBG-CV $1,193,916
Total: $1,193,916
CDBG-CV funds were used by the City of Temecula to address health, and housing needs of Temecula
residents. Pursuant to the CARES Act, HUD awarded formula grant allocations of CDBG-CV funds to CDBG
entitlement jurisdictions in two funding rounds. Several months elapsed between funding
announcements. Accordingly, it was necessary for the City to amend its 2020-2021 Action Plan two times
over a one-year period to receive CARES Act funds.
CDBG-CV funds must be fully spent by June 24, 2026. The City of Temecula made significant progress
toward each expenditure goal during the 2020-2021 Program Year by assisting 33 small businesses
through the Temecula Assist Program and designed and implemented its Temecula MRAP (Mortgage and
Rental Assistance Program) for those impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
During the 2021-2022 Program Year, the City created and funded with its second CDBG-CV allocation the
Temecula Mortgage and Rental Assistance Program, The Homeless Assistance Program, and set aside
funds to account for the Administration of the CDBG-CV funds. It should also be noted that the City also
funded the CV -Administration activity with City funds also, ensuring that as much CV funds would go
toward directly to necessary activities. The Mortgage and Rental Assistance program ensured that 18
Temecula households stayed housed during the pandemic and program year of 2021-22.
Table 1 provides a summary of the five-year and one-year accomplishments for the period ending
June 30, 2022, arranged by each of the Strategic Plan Goals included in the 2017-2021 Strategic
Plan of the Consolidated Plan for the CDBG Program.

City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER
Assess how the jurisdiction's use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and
specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority
activities identified.
As shown in Table 1, during the 2021-22 Program Year, the City and its housing and community
development partners made substantial progress with its 2021-22 Program Year activities as well
as its multi -year activities that were continued from the previous Program Years. All CDBG-
funded activities addressed specific high priority objectives identified in the 2017-2021
Consolidated Plan.
One of the highest priorities in the Consolidated Plan and Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) was
to address Neighborhood Infrastructure and Public Facility needs. During the 2021-22 Program
Year, the emphasis of the City's CDBG program was completing the installation or replacement
of sidewalks to address the needs of low- and moderate -income persons as well as persons with
disabilities. An ADA improvement project to the City's West Side Business park was in prior to
the close of the program year. The removal of some sidewalk walkways to account for accessible
ramps and curb cuts led way to the elimination of barriers to those withdisabilities.
The preservation of the City's housing stock is another high priority of the CDBG program. In the
2021-22 Program Year, the City provided CDBG funds to Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley
(HFHIV) for its Critical Home Maintenance and Repair Program. HFHIV was able to commit and
expend all their remaining 2020-21 Program Year funds and was able to spend a very large portion
ofthe funds allocated in 2021-22. Because it is a capital improvement funded project funds are
carried over. The small remaining balance from 2021-22 funds will be spent in the 2022-23
program year along with its upcoming funds that it was awarded in 2022-23. Five housing units
were completed during the 2021-22 Program Year. Five additional housing units are in the
application approval process and anticipated completion in program year 2022-23.
Local community business organizations funded in program year 2021-22 were able to address a
variety of public service needs for Temecula residents. This was accomplished by funding the
following nine public service programs:
• Fair housing services through the Fair Housing Council
• Clothing and school supplies for lower income student through the Temecula Valley
Assistance League
• Service to the homeless and those at risk of being homeless through the City's Homeless
Prevention and Diversion Program
• Case management for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness through
Community Mission of Hope
• Assistance to victims of domestic violence through SAFE Family Justice Center and
Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center
• Advocacy services for foster children through Voices for Children
• Before and after school care through the Boys and Girls Club
City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER 10
The City identified four goals in the 2017 Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) and made progress in
completing those goals during the 2021-22 Program Year. See previous CAPER for additional
accomplishments in achieving its five-year goals.
Goal 1: Amend Zoning Code to promote the development of affordable housing.
• City Council adopted the Affordable Housing Overly Zone and Density Bonus Ordinance
on September 25, 2018.
• The City Council also adopted an accessory dwelling unit ordinance.
Goal 2: Increase and preserve affordable units for renters and homeowners.
• The City has been actively negotiating with developers for the use of the $12.4 million of
Tax Allocation Bond (TAB) proceeds. City Council approved a Disposition and
Development Agreement with Temecula Pacific Associates on June 25, 2019, for the
provision of 60 affordable housing units in the Vine Creek Apartment complex. The City is
making both a land and a financial contribution to the project. The project has received
state funding and will likely be under construction in 2023.
• The Rancho Highlands (Arrive) project was approved with 55 units (in addition to market
rate units) in October 2020. The project is under construction.
• The City approved a $10 million loan agreement to construct 77 housing units in the Las
Haciendas apartment complex. The project is under construction.
• The City has translated its affordable housing brochure into Spanish. In addition, the City's
website can be translated into 104 different languages.
• The City funded four critical home maintenance repairs for LMI owner -occupants.
• On March 14, 2020, the City closed a deal with Affirmed Housing to re -syndicate and
rehabilitate the Mission Village apartments. It is expected that the project will be
completed in 2020. The re -syndication will preserve the affordable units for an additional
55 years. As part of the negotiations, the City also received an additional $1.3 million in
affordable housing funds.
• In 2019-20 Program Year, the City extended its participation in a two-year County's
Mortgage Certificate Program.
• The City entered into an agreement with BRIDGE Housing for the installation of a
photovoltaic system to reduce utility costs for the affordable housing development.
Goal 3: Provide greater access to public facilities and improvements for persons with
disabilities.
• The City completed its Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan and is
currently prioritizing action items. The construction was completed during the 2021-22
program year of the ADA Westside Business Park project will provide improvedaccess for
persons with disabilities.
Goal 4: Provide equal housing opportunities for protected classes
• The City funded a robust fair housing program offered by the Fair Housing Council of
Riverside County, which served 437 Temecula residents during the 2021-22 Program Year.

Due to COVID-19, the Fair Housing Council saw a spike in their requests for service. The
agency worked overtime and adjusted their service model to account for remote access
to residents, and providing virtual workshops and meetings to address this need.
• The City has a provided a link on its website to fair housing information and has
disseminated fair housing information at various City facilities.
• The City conducted a presentation on fair housing at Temecula Trekkers in the 2018-19
Program Year.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
To address the housing and community development needs in Temecula, the City leveraged its
CDBG entitlement grant with a variety of funding resources to maximize the effectiveness of
available funds. The City leveraged CDBG funds with $143,600 of the City's local Measure S funds
to address barriers to persons with disabilities within the Westside Business Park ADA
Improvements Project. In addition, the City has been utilizing an existing City -owned building (the
Help Center: 28922 Pujol St. Temecula, CA) to house the Homeless Prevention and Diversion
Program. Also, the CDBG-funded SAFE program is housed in a City -owned facility (located at:
28910 Pujol St. Temecula, CA) for a nominal fee.
To address the needs of the homeless population, the City used CDBG funds to expand its
Responsible Compassion Program. In 2021-22, the City fund contribution for that program was
$715,725.
The City leveraged CDBG funds with $100,000 of the City's Community Services funding for
the various public services organizations. See Appendix C.
To meet its affordable housing construction goals, the City Council approved a Disposition and
Development Agreement with Temecula Pacific Associates on June 25, 2019, for the provision of
60 affordable housing units known as the Vine Creek Apartments utilizing its Tax Allocation Bond
proceeds. Entitlements for this project are complete. In addition to a financial contribution, the
City will contribute publicly owned land to this project. The City has also committed $10.1 million
of its Tax Allocation Bond proceeds for the construction of a 77-unit apartment complex known
as Las Haciendas. The Rancho Highlands (Arrive) project was approved with 55 units (in addition
to market rate units) in October 2020.
Relocation and Real Property Acquisition — Indicate the number of persons displaced, the cost
of relocation payments, the number of parcels acquired, and the cost of acquisition
No persons were displaced or relocated because of the CDBG-funded projects. The City did not
use any CDBG funds to acquire property.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting
these goals.
All housing rehabilitation activities under the Habitat for Humanity Critical Home Repair
Maintenance Program were completed by the end of the program year even with COVID-19
access restrictions. With adjusting to the "new norms" of the pandemic to entering and
rehabilitating the home in safe manner being alongside the homeowner Habitat was able to
successfully meet its goal of completing 5 rehabilitations on a goal of 5 and getting all
expenditures current to the program year.
The ADA project for Public Facilities Phase I is in the design stage and is expected to be completed
in the 2022-23 Program Year. Delays due to the global COVID-19 pandemic cause large delays in
having the appropriate job walks, pre -bid meetings and anticipated use of materials on backorder
continue to plague construction projects as firms continue to update procedures as to how
workers continue key construction work during pandemic.

No goals were set for the development of new affordable housing in 2021-22 Program Year with
CDBG dollars; however, the City made substantial progress in meeting its five-year affordable
housing goals. The City has approved two housing projects that would utilize the $12.4 million
of Tax Allocation Bond (TAB) proceeds during the 2020-21 program year.
The City fulfilled several of its goals for its FY 2021-2022 Action Plan in accordance with the FY
2017-2021 Consolidated Plan. Temecula CDBG programs and its community -based organizations
found creative and effective ways to commit and service its residents through their programs.
The City looks forward to continuing its relationshipswith its CBOs through upcoming CDBG fiscal
years as they continue to be an important part of any successful federal program.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
The substantial amendment to its FY 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan impacted the FY 2021-2022
annual action plan through additional funding that the City received due to the global COVID-19
Pandemic. The City and its subrecipients continue to work toward effective programing that
generates safe and effective results for its residents. With the advancements of technology and
work functions that allow for remote accessibility, the City and its CBOs are able to deliver
services that are well needed for its residents. This continuation of upgrading through the "new
norm" is anticipated to continue through the next several annual action plans as the global
COVID-19 pandemic continues to be addressed.

Narrative Information
The 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan -Strategic Plan identified high priority affordable housing needs
including preserving the supply of affordable housing to lower -income households. During the
2021-22 Program Year, the City provided an additional five housing rehabilitation grants to low-
income households through the Habitat for Humanity (HFHIV) Critical Home Maintenance and
Repair Program. An anticipated 5 additional units are currently underway in the application phase
that would be utilizing the small remainder of their 2021-22 Program Year CDBG grant and carry
into the use of their already allocated 2022-2023 funds.
In an effort to address worst -case needs, the City gave highest priority in addressing the needs
based on its strategic plan goals by focusing its capital improvement projects on removing
barriers to those with disabilities. The City looks to continue its progress on its capital
improvement projects in the 2022-23 program year. The City has also identified homelessness as
a worst -care need and allocated CDBG funds for the Homeless Prevention and Diversion Program
during the 2021-22 and the upcoming 2022-23 program years.
To address its affordable housing shortage and foster and maintain affordable housing, the City
continued to fund its Home Maintenance and Repair Program in addition to negotiating with
developers for the use of the $12.4 million of Tax Allocation Bond (TAB) proceeds, as mentioned
above. In addition, the City has adopted an affordable housing overlay zone, an Accessory
Dwelling Unit (ADU) ordinance and participates in the County's mortgage certificate program.
The City continues to work with developers to streamline project approvals, as appropriate to
ensure its focus on affordable housing is a continued focus in the upcoming 2022-23 program
year.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction's progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Using CDBG funds through its the Homeless Prevention and Diversion Program, the City assisted
39 persons and families that were homeless or at risk of homelessness by providing services and
financial assistance to help them retain or return to permanent housing. The City's Help Center
continues addressing homelessness and has remained open through theentire pandemic and has
continued to operate since its official grand opening celebration on August 20, 2018. The Help
Center provides resources, hand sanitizer, and masks for those individuals who are homeless as
supplies were made available.
The City of Temecula developed the Responsible Compassion program in 2014. This program is a
multi -pronged approach to assist those in need within the City of Temecula. The primary focus is
those experiencing homelessness. The City works collaboratively to provide the necessary
resources to assist these individuals on the road to self-sufficiency. The program is comprised of
one full-time city staff member, one part-time city staff member, one sergeant, and four full-time
Riverside County Sheriff's deputies assigned to the Homeless Outreach Team. This team is trained
to work specifically with this population. They are knowledgeable about how to connect
individuals in need of local and regional resources. The Homeless Outreach Team conducts
quarterly meetings and training on the best practices as it relates to homelessness.
The Continuum of Care, coordinated by the Riverside Department of Social Services (DPSS), also
manages the Emergency Food and Shelter, and Supportive Housing Programs, both of which
provide homeless residents with rental assistance and supportive services. Riverside County DPSS
also coordinates the ten-year County plan to end homelessness. The homelessness prevention
plan, which contains strategies and priority actions to expand programs and services for
homeless persons and those at -risk of homelessness in the region, focuses on developing
individual and family self-sufficiency and, to the extent possible, helping persons at risk of
homelessness to remain in their homes. A City of Temecula staff member is on the board of the
Continuum of Care and has taken a leadership role in the region for these efforts.
In addition to the Countywide Continuum of Care (CoQ the City plays a leadership role in
Southwest Riverside County Regional Homeless Alliance, which includes the County's CoC staff
person and City, the Sheriff's Department and nonprofit representatives from the five cities in
City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER 21
the region (Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Lake Elsinore and Wildomar). The Alliance collaborates
on homelessness in the region.
CDBG funds also assisted the Community Mission of Hope case management program in assisting
the homeless and those at risk of homelessness. A total of 89 individuals were served by this
program. The community has several foodbanks, which are funded by local churches and
individuals.
The City of Temecula participates in the annual County -wide homeless survey. However, due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the County of Riverside decided to cancel the 2021 homeless count and
has decided as of January 2022 that the 2022 Point In Time Count was moved to February of
2023. TheCity is continued partner with the County as support volunteers for the event to ensure
an accurate count, and to assist hopefully in the 2023 calendar year should the even be held.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
As mentioned above, the City initiated a Homeless Prevention and Diversion Program in 2018-
19, and continues to be successful through the 2021-22 program year. This program provides
short-term financial assistance with mortgage and rent payments, security deposits and utilities.
The City of Temecula also supported the efforts of the Riverside County Continuum of Care (CoQ
and its member organizations that address homelessness. As described earlier, the City
supported local nonprofit agencies, which provide emergency rental assistance and housing
counseling to low- and moderate -income residents to assist those at -risk of homelessness. The
City does not directly receive any HUD funding through the CoC process.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after being
discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities,
mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and
institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing,
health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
During the 2021-22 Program Year, the City connected chronically homeless individuals and
families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth with
available resources through the Riverside County CoC. The CoC is comprised of a network of
public, private, faith -based, for -profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several
federal, state, and local resources to provide services for homeless people. The goal was to help
unsheltered homeless persons make the transition to permanent housing and independent
City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER 22
living, including shortening the period that individuals and families experience homelessness, and
facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units.
The nonprofit and faith -based communities played a key role in the current CoC system.
Hundreds of agencies throughout the County provided programs ranging from feeding the
homeless on the street to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services
were available to homeless families with children, and single men and women. The nonprofit and
faith -based communities also play a key role in serving special needs populations, such as victims
of domestic violence, veterans, the disabled and youth.
The City of Temecula funded the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County with CDBG funds to
provide fair housing, tenant/landlord mediation, and legal services for residents through attorney
consultations and preparation of legal documents for the residents to represent themselves in
family law and landlord/tenant actions. Some of these services are provided to prevent undue
evictions that could lead to homelessness. During the 2021-22 program year a total of 437
Temecula residents were assisted through the City's Fair Housing and Landlord/Tenant based
programs.
In addition, the City granted CDBG funds to Voices for Children for their Court Appointed Special
Advocate Program, which provided additional caseworkers for four Temecula children in the
County foster care program.
CDBG funds were provided to SAFE Family Justice Centers and Riverside Area Rape Crisis Centers,
who assisted 151 victims of domestic violence with services. Without these services, many of the
clients would have possibly faced homelessness due to the difficult challenges they faced.
The Housing Authority of the County of Riverside provides Section 8 rental assistance to
extremely low- and very low-income households located within the City limits. The Section 8
program gives priority to households that are at risk of becoming homeless or currently residing
in inadequate housing. One -hundred and thirty-seven households in Temecula were recipients
of Section 8 tenant -based vouchers in the 2021-22 Program Year through the County, plus ten
project -based vouchers.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER 23
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City plays a leadership role in the Riverside County CoC. The Riverside County CoC Ten -Year
Plan to End Homelessness included a goal to establish County -wide protocols and procedures to
prevent people from being discharged from public and private institutions of care into
homelessness that will help decrease the number of persons being discharged into homelessness
by at least 10 percent annually. This would mean that the proportional share for the City would
be a reduction of three homeless persons. Although the City was able to assist several homeless
persons to find permanent homes, the number of homeless persons in Temecula continues to be
focus even larger than before as the stress and long-term constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic. As
familiescontinue to struggle the City continues to keep its focus of CDBG-CV funds activities and
assistance to those most vulnerable populations to obtain help and counter balance those
effects. The CoC continues to improve coordination among publicly and privately funded
institutions of care and local service agencies in the Countyof to decrease the number of persons
being discharged into homelessness annually.
The City funded the Homeless Prevention and Diversion Program in 2021-22 Program Year. As
this continues to serve as a successful program, continued funding to ensure the focus is not lost,
the City looks forward to continuing this partnership. The City also provided CDBG funds for an
advocacy program for four foster care children.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
There are no public housing developments in Temecula. All public housing programs consist of
housing choice and project -based vouchers administered by the Housing Authority of the County
of Riverside (HACR).
The City submitted a certification of consistency with its Consolidated Plan in support of the
Housing Authority Five -Year Public Housing Authority Plan and Action Plan. In the certification,
the City acknowledged that there was a shortage of affordable housing and recognized the role
of the Housing Authority in addressing this need.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management
and participate in homeownership
There are no public housing developments or units planned for the City of Temecula in the next
year. HACR continued to actively support and assist 107 Temecula households with Housing
Choice tenant -based vouchers. There are also seven Section 8 Project -Based units in Temecula.
The Housing Authority is also in the process of obtaining eight additional Section 8 Project -Based
units in the Mission Village II apartments in Temecula.

CR-35 - Other Actions 91.220(j)-(k); 91.320(i)-(j)
Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
The City Council adopted an updated Housing Element in October 2021, and again in February
2022. The City continues to work with the State of California to revise the Housing Element and
the City anticipates an approved Housing Element by Fall 2022. This process will include the City
evaluating significant publicpolicies affecting affordable housing development such as land use
controls, tax policies affectingland, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges and
growth limitations. Based on this evaluation, the City determined that it has taken all necessary
steps to ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that may have been a barrier to
affordable housing. Moreover, the Citycontinued to engage with affordable housing developers
concerning the siting of affordable housing and ensuring that the entitlement process runs
smoothly from inception to completion.
On September 25, 2018, the City Council adopted the Affordable Housing Overlay Ordinance and
Density Bonus Ordinance, which identifies sites throughout the City where transitional and
supportive housing is allowed by right and provides incentives for affordable and senior housing.
In the last seven years, the elimination of local Redevelopment Agencies by the State of California
resulted in the loss of a crucial resource for the development and preservation of affordable
housing. This was the most significant public policy change affecting affordable housing and
residential investment. While there are mechanisms whereby certain affordable housing assets
tied to the former Redevelopment Agencies may be utilized today, these resources are finite and
scarce. Although the City no longer has access to Redevelopment Housing Set -Aside funds, the
City continued to work with developers to utilize its Tax Allocation Bond proceeds to facilitate
affordable housing development. Projected for completion in a future year, this strategy will
eventually increase the supply of affordable housing and preserve existing affordable housing in
the City.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The primary obstacles to meeting the underserved needs of low- and moderate -income people
include the lack of funding from federal, state and other local sources, the high cost of housing
that is not affordable to low-income people and the lack of availability of home improvement
financing in the private lending industry. To address these obstacles, the City invested CDBG
City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER 26
funds through the 2021-22 Action Plan in projects that provided grants to low- and moderate -
income homeowners for home improvements, projects that provided public services to low- and
moderate -income seniors, veterans, and people and those with special needs, and projects that
prevented homelessness. To address underserved needs, the City allocated 100 percent of its
non -administrative CDBG investments for 2021-22 Program Year to projects and activities that
benefit low- and moderate -income people.
Actions taken to reduce lead -based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.3200)
The Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X) emphasizes prevention
of childhood lead poisoning through housing -based approaches. To reduce lead -based paint
hazards, the rehabilitation of housing units built prior to January 1, 1978, included a lead -based
paint testing and risk assessment process. Nearly all of Temecula's housing stock was built after
1978. Therefore, due to the limited CDBG funding and great demand for rehabilitation assistance,
Habitat for Humanity has chosen to not address the needs of housing units where lead -based
paint has been discovered or suspected. If lead -based paint were identified, the Citywould ensure
that developers and contractors incorporate safe work practices and depending onthe level of
assistance, abate the lead -based paint as part of the scope of work to effectively reduce lead -
based paint hazards to children in accordance with 24 CFR Part 31*
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty -level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The implementation of the CDBG program in meeting the goals established in the 2017-2021
Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan and this Annual Action Plan helped to reduce the number of
poverty -level families by:
• Supporting a continuum of housing and public service programs to prevent and eliminate
homelessness;
• Supporting housing preservation programs that assured low income households have a
safe, decent and appropriate place to live; and
• Supporting a variety of public services for low- and moderate -income residents including
seniors, veterans and those with special needs and those at -risk of homelessness offered
by nonprofit organizations receiving CDBG public services grants.
In addition to these local efforts, mainstream state and federal resources also contributed to reducing the
number of individuals and families in poverty. Federal programs, such as the Earnedlncome Tax Credit and
Head Start, provide pathways out of poverty for families who are ready topursue employment and
educational opportunities. Additionally in California, the primary programs that assisted families in
poverty were CaIWORKs, Cal Fresh (formerly food stamps) andMedi-Cal. Together, these programs
provided individuals and families with employment
City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER 27
1
assistance, subsidy for food, medical care, child care and cash payments to meet basic needs such
as housing, nutrition and transportation. Other services were available to assist persons suffering
from substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental illness.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The institutional delivery system in Temecula is high functioning and collaborative —particularly
the relationship between local government and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of
capable non-profit organizations that are delivering a full range of services to residents. Strong
City departments anchor the administration of HUD grant programs and the housing, community
and economic development activities that are implemented by the City support and enhance this
existing institutional structure. The City of Temecula collaborated with affordable housing
developers and nonprofit agencies that submitted applications for utilizing Tax Allocation Bond
proceeds to ensure that the needs of low- and moderate -income residents are met as envisioned
within the 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan - Strategic Plan.
Although the City did not include broadband as a priority using CDBG funds, the City recently
adopted and implemented three Wi-Fi gardens to provide greater broadband access to residents
working from home and those attending school from home during the pandemic.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
To enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, the City
consulted with and invited the participation of a wide variety of agencies and organizations
involved in the delivery of housing and supportive services to low- and moderate -income
residents in Temecula —particularly in the Low- and Moderate -Income Areas.
Specifically, the City worked closely with its ten public service agencies and two of the City's
program managers in carrying out their programs, so that the CDBG funds assisted the individuals
and families with the most urgent needs. In addition, the City worked closely with the Continuum
of Care, the Southwest Riverside County Regional Homeless Alliance and the County Sheriff's
Department in addressing the needs of the homeless population. These consultations along with
the region's nonprofit agencies assured that the CDBG funds addressed the most critical issues
related to homelessness.

under the current Consolidated Plan. In the 2021-22 Program Year, 27% of the public
services funds were allocated for fair housing.
2) Fair Housing Workshop. The City made a presentation on fair housing and the City's
AFH goals at Temecula Trekkers on August 15, 2018. This meeting was attended by
real estate agents and brokers, bankers, builders and others involved in the housing
industry. The Fair Housing Council conducted a lenders' roundtable discussion on April
26, 2019. Due to Covid-19, the Fair Housing Council was unable to conduct their
roundtable discussion, but they were available to answer questions from landlords,
tenants and businessowners. In June 2021, the Fair Housing Council held its fair
housing conference virtually to discuss the impacts, challenges and solutions due to
Covid-19. Fair housing pivoted its service delivery models to accommodate for stay-
at-home orders and social distancing practices during the pandemic. During the
program year 2021-2022 these efforts continued excellent service to 437 Temecula
residents.

provided multiple social media posts to educate and provide information to the
community. City staff and HOT deputies conducted multiple presentations to local
businessowners, homeowner associations and other community groups regarding the
needs of the homeless. During Covid-19, the City has access to city staff through email
and telephone for information needed to mitigate challenges to homelessness. The
City hosted a workshop with homeless providers on September 27, 2018, to discuss a
comprehensive program for solving homelessness in Southwest Riverside County.

CR-40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of
the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs
involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
To ensure that CDBG funds were used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations,
the City provided technical assistance to all subrecipients at the beginning of the Program Year
and monitored the progress of its subrecipients throughout the Program Year.
Technical Assistance
The City provided a workshop and one-on-one training to the public service providers on an as -
needed basis and performed daily oversight of the fiscal systems to track progress of the CDBG
grant program. Due to everchanging effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the City did not conduct
onsite monitoring of its subrecipients; the City did provide virtual technical assistance via Zoom
and Microsoft Teams meetings to someof its subrecipients during the program year, and also was
made available via phone and email to resolve potential issues that could have resulted in
findings.
Activity Monitoring
The City conducted remote monitoring visits in the 2021-22 Program Year. Most of the
subrecipients have been receiving CDBG funds for several years and have been monitored several
times with no findings or concerns. Most had been monitored in the 2019-2020 Program Year.
The City plans to monitor the remaining subrecipients that did also received funding for the 2022-
23 program year later in the upcoming calendar year.
During the year, the City provided technical assistance to those subrecipients, which had
potential monitoring findings and concerns. If some of the subrecipients were found to have
capacity issues and where those issues were unresolvable, funding commitments would have
been nullified. However, in the 2021-22 Program Year, this was not necessary.
Applicants for funding are required to submit a copy of their single audit if the federal funding
threshold under 2 CFR Part 200 was exceeded. Other documentation to establish their capacity,
and any findings noted in the audit are reviewed with the applicant. Eligible applications are then
considered for funding. Once funded, desk monitoring included ongoing reviews of quarterly
performance reports. Monitoring also included an on -site or remote (due to COVID-19 pandemic)
fiscal and programmatic review of the subrecipient's activities. Areas routinely reviewed
City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER 32

L
included overall administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program
expenditures, program delivery, client eligibility determination and documentation, reporting
systems, and achievement toward achieving contractual goals. Following the monitoring visit, a
written report is provided delineating the results of the review and any findings of non-
compliance and the required corrective action. Subrecipients are given 30 days to provide the
City with corrective actions taken to address any noted findings. Individualized technical
assistance is always provided, as noted above as soon as compliance concerns were identified.
For CDBG capital projects, monitoring also included compliance with regulatory agreement
requirements.
For the City's CDBG-CV activities, all activities were examined, beginning with a detailed review
upon how the City was determining how to distribute its funds and program eligibility against a
national objective. Each activity accounted for under the CDBG-CV amendments to the 2020-
2021 annual action plan is overseen by combination of City staff, program consultants from under
the Community Development and finance departments respectively. Program files are
maintained and monitored collecting the required documentation to support eligible
expenditures under each respective activity and the reporting subrecipient (desktop monitoring).
Each quarter every subrecipient is required to submit a quarterly performance report that tracks
the progress of the activity. Remote monitoring of programmatic and financial records for the
CDBG-CV activities is anticipated to carry over into the 2022-2023 program years.
Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d)
Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment
on performance reports.
In accordance with the City's adopted Citizen Participation Plan, a public notice was published in
San Diego Union Tribune in English, Spanish on August 29, 2022, notifying the public of the
availability of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report for a 15-day public
review and comment period. A copy of the public notices is included in Appendix A.
A public hearing was conducted before the City Council on Tuesday, September 13, 2022, to
solicit comments from residents and interested parties. A summary of any written or oral
comments received during the public hearing is included in Appendix B. The draft CAPER was
available online on the Cities website, at City Hall in the Community Development Department
and City Clerks Offices, as well as at the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library . The live
stream of the meeting was viewed on television and/or online. Details can be found at

CR-45 - CDBG 91.52O(c)
Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction's program objectives and
indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences.
CDBG funds made a significant impact on strategies to address the high priority needs identified
in the 2017-2021 Consolidated Plan — Strategic Plan. As shown in Figure 1 in section CR-05,
significant progress was made towards many of the Strategic Plan and AFH goals during the year.
Affordable Housing Development
No CDBG funds were allocated to this AFH goal. The City has entered into a Disposition and
Development Agreement with Temecula Pacific Associates for the provision of 60 affordable
housing units. The City will make both a land and a financial contribution to the project. In
addition, the City has committed local funds to construct 77 units known as Las Haciendas. Also
completed, the Rancho Highlands (Arrive) project was approved with 55units (in addition to
market rate units) in October 2020.
Housing Preservation
CDBG funds are being effectively used to address the rehabilitation of the City's housing stock.
As mentioned earlier in this report, the City funded the Habitat for Humanity Critical Home
Maintenance and Repair Program, which successfully completed the rehabilitation of five
housing units. No changes are needed to this program.
Fair Housing Services
The Fair Housing Council of Riverside County provided fair housing outreach, education and
enforcement activities, including landlord -tenant matters. During the Program Year, this activity
met its service goal of 326 people by serving 437 people with providing landlord tenant mediation
for 436 clients and processing 1 anti -discrimination case. No changes are needed to this program.
Services for low- and moderate -income residents
Through its subrecipients, the City served 67 low- and moderate -income residents with
important public services. The City continues to work with its subrecipients to ensure they have
the capacity to meet their goals and comply with federal regulations governing the CDBG
program.
Services for residents with special needs
City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER 34

Through its subrecipients, the City provided public services to 151 residents with special needs.
The City continues to work with its subrecipients to ensure they have the capacity to meet their
goals and comply with federal regulations governing the CDBG program.
Services for the homeless and at risk of homelessness
Through its subrecipients and County departments, the City provided public services to 128
homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness. The City continues to work with its
subrecipients to ensure they have the capacity to meet their goals and comply with federal
regulations governing the CDBG program.
Public Facilities and Infrastructure Improvements
The emphasis of the City CDBG Program was to improve City of Temecula's public facilities and
infrastructure to address the needs of persons with disabilities. One of the three public facilities
and infrastructure activities that addressed this need was closed out and fully drawn down on
during the Program Year (West Side Business Park ADA Improvements). The remaining projects
are either under construction or in the design phase. No changes are needed with these projects.
Small business creation and expansion
The City did not allocate any CDBG funds for this activity. The City with its CDBG-CV funds assisted
33 businesses through its Temecula Assist Program.
AFH: Amend land use and zoning
The City Council adopted the Affordable Housing Overlay Ordinance and Density Bonus
Ordinance on September 5, 2018.
AFH: Inaccessibility
The City completed the ADA Transition Plan and using it as a guide to prioritize the needs of
persons with disabilities.
The substantial amendments that the City of Temecula approved to its FY 2017-2021
Consolidated Plan impacted the FY 2020-2021 annual action plan through additional funding that
the City received due to the global COVID-19 Pandemic. The City and its subrecipients continue
to work toward effective programing that generates safe and effective results for its residents.
With the advancements of technology and work functions that allow for remote accessibility, the
City of Temecula 2021-2022 CAPER 35

City and its CBOs are able to deliver services that are well needed for its residents. This
continuation of upgrading through the "new norm" is anticipated to continue through the next
several annual action plans as the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to be addressed.
The City's residents faced new challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic including job loss, food
insecurity, housing insecurity, and disruption to normal in -person public services. City staff
adapted to a its work environment and continued delivering high quality services to residents
throughout the duration of the stay-at-home orders. Nonprofit subrecipients and City
Departments altered their program delivery models to promote social distancing while
continuing to provide essential services to low- and moderate -income residents. There were
some activities that were impacted heavily, nearly all of the capital improvement projects that
would require construction workers in close proximity to one another causing a program not to
continue or delays in construction. The City has plans in place with each implementing agency to
ensure these capital improvement projects and its CDBG subrecipients programs are completed
during the 2022-2023 Program Year.
The addition of $1,193,916 of CDBG-CV funds fueled a significant increase in the City's capacity
to address the challenges our residents faced. HUD's decision to allocate these funds on top of
the regular entitlement grant programs this year allowed the Community Development
Department to develop additional systems and integrate new procedures into the service
delivery model to better address the needs of low- and moderate -income residents.
The City has the continued focus to fully expend its CDBG-CV allocation by the end of the 2022-
23 Program year. An anticipated amendment to happen during the program year of 2022-23 will
reprogram any remaining funds from closed out activities of CDBG-CV funds towards the
completion of a capital improvement project at the Cities Mary Phillips Senior Center to ensure
it is in response to and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
