That no need exists in the community, the provision of which would benefit the Project Area to improve, or increase the supply of housing for persons and families of low and moderate income or very low income households. That some stated percentage less than 20% of taxes which are allocated to the Agency pursuant to Section 33670 is sufficient to meet such housing needs; or A substantial effort to meet low and moderate income housing needs in the community is being made and that effort including the obligation of funds currently available for the benefit of the community from state, local and federal sources for low and moderate income housing alone or in combination with other taxes allocated in this section is equivalent in impact to the funds otherwise required to be set aside pursuant to this section. Legislative bodies shall consider the need that can be reasonably foreseen of low and moderate income or very low and moderate income households from within or adjacent to the Project Areas because of increased employment opportunities, or because of any other direct or indirect result of implementation of the Redevelopment Plan. SUBSTANTIAL EFFORT The City of Baldwin Park, through its Housing Authority, its Local Development Corporation and through its use of Community Development Block Grant Funds is making a substantial effort to meet its low and moderate income housing needs. A number of housing programs are now being utilized in Baldwin Park, including the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program for both new construction and existing units; the use of Community Development Block Grant CDBG) funded residential rehabilitation loans for low and moderate income house- holds; and the use of CDBG funds to acquire and rehabilitate residential properties which are then, through a Local Development Corporation, leased to the Baldwin Park Housing Authority for use by Section 8 tenants. The following table summarizes the assistance being provided and the amounts being expenses for such assistance less administrative costs): BIB] 37679-U01 1980-U02 071-U02 CC-U02 RESO-U02 LI3-U03 FO10488-U03 FO10490-U03 DO10582-U03 C6-U03 RESO-U03 2/26/2003-U04 ROBIN-U04 1980 071 CC RESO(ÌìîKTABLE 1 Assistance Program 1.

Using the post- Proposition 13 tax formula of 1% of market value, the total increase in property taxes for the Project Area would be $130,000. In accordance with Section 33334.2(a) of the Health and Safety Code, 20% of this amount or $26,000 would be the approximate amount to be made available to support low and moderate income housing efforts if substantial efforts were not otherwise being made.

The families displaced from the Project will receive relocation benefits as required by state law and they will be afforded assistance from the Housing Authority through programs generally described in this Report. Through the use of available assistance programs and the use of highly trained relocation specialists, it is expected that residents will be relocated from an area not well suited to residential uses to established neighborhoods which are quieter and better suited to residential uses. The Redevelopment Project is expected to include the development of a shopping center which will include several stores. The development is expected to generate about 100 permanent jobs and up to 200 temporary jobs which will be available during the period of construction The overall impacts of the Project are expected to be beneficial in that an area of the City will be put to a use which is more consistent with the needs of the community. FINDINGS The City of Baldwin Park has instituted a number of programs designed to increase the supply of low and moderate income housing units in the community. These programs, to date, have generated a total of 477 standard units for the low and moderate income housing market at a total cost exceeding $1,709,268. The total value of these projects significantly exceeds the benefit requirement in Section 33334.2 of the California Health and Safety Code. Continuation of existing housing assistance programs in the City is expected to generate a minimum of 207 additional units at a cost of approximately $1,440/000 over the next 24 months. The total impact of existing low and moderate income housing assistance efforts is sufficient to relieve the Redevelopment Agency of an obligation to provide tax increment proceeds to provide low and moderate income housing assistance.
