3 I. BACKGROUND The City of Lynwood is approximately 5 square miles, within Los Angeles, California with a current population of 69,899. The community is located between two major freeways, Interstate 710 and Interstate 105, making the City accessible to major airports. Lynwood is approximately 14 miles from the Los Angeles International Airport and nine miles from the Long Beach Airport. Since Lynwood s incorporation in 1921, it continues to move forward on a path of progress. Operating as a General Law City, Lynwood is governed by a five-member City Council, which sets policy under the Council-Manager form of government. The City of Lynwood is a participating jurisdiction under the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development s (HUD s) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and HOME Investments Partnership Program (HOME). As a recipient of formula funds under HUD programs, the City is required to submit a 5-year Consolidated Plan (ConPlan), Annual Action Plans (AAPs), and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPERs). ConPlan requirements are enacted through 24 CFR 91 and regulates the formula grant funding intended to provide decent housing; a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities for primarily, low to moderate income persons. The ConPlan is the City s strategic plan for addressing the City s priority housing and community development needs over a five-year period. The ConPlan is based on community participation, a public consultation process with residents and local stakeholders, needs assessments and public hearings. In addition to the administration of the CDBG and HOME, applicants of other HUD funding sources are required to certify with the City that their application to HUD is consistent with the local consolidated plan. The Annual Action Plan (AAP) is adopted prior to the beginning of each fiscal year and identifies the programs and funding the City plans to implement in conformance with its Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report is completed at the end of each year and reports on the City s progress in implementing the Strategic Plan of the Consolidated Plan and the AAP. All these reports must be prepared and submitted to HUD in compliance with HUD regulations using HUD s Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). The City wants to engage a consultant to explore eligible areas of the City and the benefits of developing a strategy. As a HUD grantee, the City also must conduct an Analysis of Impediments to fair housing choice to meet the City s obligations to affirmatively further fair housing. 1

4 II. PURPOSE The Consolidated Plan examines the housing needs of low income persons and other special populations; the current housing market conditions; and the economic and community development needs gathered during a collaboration and coordination process. Priorities, goals, and measurable outcomes are established based upon the needs derived from the collection and analysis of the information gathered. The priorities, goals, and objectives set forth in the ConPlan are actionable and provide direction for annually appropriating entitlement grant funds. Entitlement program funds are appropriated in the Annual Action Plan to programs and activities that meet the ConPlan goals. There are five Annual Action Plans that will be administered under the Consolidated Plan. Preparing the first Annual Action Plan is a part of the scope of services under this request for proposals. The Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice must be conducted at the beginning of each five-year ConPlan cycle. The AI should include an action plan listing the initiatives that the City will undertake to overcome the effects of identified impediments. Proposals are requested from qualified firms or individuals with proven experience in developing Consolidated Plans, Annual Action Plans, fair housing, and/or other strategic planning documents. The ConPlan and AI will cover the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, The Annual Action Plan will be for the period of July 1, 2015 June 30, In addition to meeting the federal requirements and deadlines, the City of Lynwood is encouraging meaningful public participation in the AI, and ConPlan processes. The selected consultant will be expected to confer with a broad spectrum of public and private agencies that provide subsidized and assisted housing, health, employment and social services to low to moderate income persons, seniors, homeless, female heads of households, and disabled persons. The resulting reports should provide a direct link between community goals and objectives, priority needs and include clear actionable direction for implementing the ensuing one-year action plans. 2
