The City of Pomona has demonstrated substantial capacity in managing federal grants spanning housing, homeless services, infrastructure, and law enforcement domains. In the housing and homelessness sector, the city has received significant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), including multiple Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grants totaling over $6 million to rapidly rehouse homeless individuals and families while providing permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and supportive services. The city has also secured HOME Investment Partnerships Program grants exceeding $1.2 million for affordable housing rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, and rental assistance for low-income households, along with Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) and formula grants for emergency shelter operations, street outreach, and homelessness prevention activities. In health and housing safety initiatives, the City of Pomona received a substantial $4.9 million Lead Hazard Reduction Grant from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in pre-1960 housing units, and a $1.5 million Older Adults Home Modification Grant to provide safety modifications enabling low-income elderly homeowners to age in place. Environmental and water quality infrastructure was advanced through a $1.6 million Cooperative Agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to design and construct a Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) treatment facility to remove 1,2,3-TCP and PFAS contaminants from groundwater at Well 34, returning it to active service and increasing water supply by 1,300 acre-feet annually. Public safety funding includes a $625,000 COPS Hiring Program grant supporting community policing strategies, along with law enforcement technology and mental health crisis intervention training grants. Community development efforts have been supported through multiple Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) formula grants and Economic Development Initiative funding for various community projects.
