State Agency Dr ops Car ousel Mall Case Against the City of San Ber nardino
Community News
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has informed the City of San Bernardino that it has closed their case against the City involving alleged violations of the Surplus Land Act (SLA) related to the redevelopment of the Carousel Mall property
In a letter dated May 24, 2023, HCD stated that it has determined that the City is not in violation of the SLA following its termination of the exclusive negotiating agreement with the San Bernardino Development Company to redevelop the Carousel Mall
“HCD considers this matter closed,” said HCD Deputy Director David Zisser in the letter
San Bernardino Mayor Helen Tran, upon learning of the case being closed, responded, “This is excellent news We can now move forward ”
In March, San Bernardino received a notice from
HCD, alleging several violations of the Surplus Land Act, a California law that requires public agencies to make property it intends to sell available for developers of affordable housing HCD claimed the City of San Bernardino did not follow the proper steps, a claim the City disputed
The City Council voted on May 3 to terminate the City’s exclusive negotiating agreement with the San Bernardino Development Company, formerly known as RD-ICO, to redevelop the 43-acre Carousel Mall site The action was anticipated to clear the way for the City to restart the development process in the near future
Demolition of the Carousel Mall, which began in April, is currently underway The City will evaluate additional infrastructure improvements that may expedite the future development of the Mall site
It is not known at this time how quickly San Bernardino will once again seek development proposals at the Carousel Mall site under the Surplus Land Act

estaba trabajando en construcción cuando sufrió una grave lesión Sin saber cuánto duraría su rehabilitación, su mayor preocupación era cómo iba a pagar las facturas y mantener una vivienda Todo cambió cuando un amigo de Antonio le contó sobre un servicio gratuito de asesoramiento sobre temas de vivienda Los asesores de este programa ofrecen asesoramiento y capacitación gratuitos sobre morosidad en temas hipotecarios, alquiler de una vivienda, preparación para la compra de una vivienda, hipotecas inversas e incluso medidas de prevención para no terminar sin un lugar donde vivir
La financiación de este servicio procede de los Presupuestos del Estado de California por medio del Acuerdo Hipotecario Nacional (National Mortgage Settlement, o NMS, por sus siglas en inglés) y está administrado por la Agencia de Financiamiento de la Vivienda de California (California Housing Finance Agency, o CalHFA, por sus siglas en inglés) Por medio de su Programa de Asesoramiento de Vivienda del NMS, CalHFA ya ha ayudado a más de 50,000 familias a encontrar asesores de vivienda certificados por el Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD, por su sigla en inglés) en todo el estado, para recibir servicios de asesoramiento de vivienda gratuitos y confidenciales
Un asesor sobre temas de vivienda trabajó
con Antonio, respondiendo a sus preguntas sobre opciones bancarias y crediticias La sesión se centró en cómo podría alcanzar sus objetivos financieros incluso aunque no pudiera trabajar debido a la lesión Trabajaron en los aspectos básicos de la creación de crédito y revisaron el proceso bancario, ya que Antonio no tenía una cuenta bancaria El asesor de vivienda le ayudó a establecer un presupuesto general para administrar sus gastos y empezar a ahorrar para alcanzar sus objetivos financieros Además, el asesor sobre temas de vivienda le ayudó a inscribirse en un curso de inglés como segundo idioma (ESL, por sus siglas en inglés), porque el idioma era algo que Antonio quería mejorar También lo refirieron a un activista y defensor de derechos que le ayudó a presentar una solicitud de indemnización por accidente laboral
"Los californianos que trabajan duro y merecen participar en el ‘sueño americano’ no siempre tienen una ‘red de seguridad’ a la que recurrir en tiempos difíciles", dijo Tiena Johnson Hall, Directora Ejecutiva de la Agencia de Financiación de la Vivienda de California "Este programa ayuda a las personas a estabilizar su situación de vida al recibir asesoramiento y acceso a programas y recursos que de otro modo no conocerían"
Para encontrar un asesor, cualquier persona puede visitar el sitio web de CalHFA y buscar “NMS”, o ir directamente a la página
de asesoramiento en https://www calhfa ca gov/community/nms /resources htm Todas las sesiones son gratuitas, y los propietarios de viviendas pueden ponerse en contacto con una de estas organizaciones aunque no vivan en la misma zona geográfica, ya que el asesoramiento se puede hacer por teléfono o por videollamada

El Programa de Asesoramiento sobre temas de Vivienda del NMS ayudó a Antonio a superar un momento difícil Tiempo más tarde, cuando volvió a ponerse en contacto con la persona que le asesoró, para ver cómo le iba, se alegró de haber abierto una cuenta bancaria, de estar mejorando su calificación crediticia y de haber empezado un curso de inglés (ESL) en un colegio comunitario Y lo que es más importante, Antonio logró mantenerse en su hogar y mantuvo su vivienda
Johnson Hall añadió: "El asesoramiento sobre temas de vivienda es un servicio crucial que reduce el número de personas sin hogar, se enfrenta a la inseguridad en temas de vivienda y reduce los obstáculos para llegar a ser propietario de una casa, todo lo cual puede encaminar a las personas hacia el bienestar financiero Espero que toda persona que tenga problemas (de vivienda) aproveche esta oportunidad de ayuda gratuita"

Reflecting on his experience, the Colton resident expressed his gratitude for Walmart's investment in its employees "When I think about how much money they put out to thousands of employees, it's incredible," Gay remarked The Live Better U program empowers individuals uncertain about their post-high school plans to join Walmart and embark on their higher education journeys

Gay joined Walmart in December 2018 as the QA Systems Operations Manager, responsible for quality assurance and managing the technical aspects of the facility He was already equipped with an associate's degree, so he pursued a bachelor's degree in supply chain transportation and logistics management at Bellevue University He opted for an online program that utilized video conferences and online chat platforms
The journey was not without its challenges, as Gay explained the intensity of the accelerated program Each class lasted six weeks, demanding 15-20 hours of weekly commitment However, Gay's dedication paid off as he consistently made the Dean's List throughout the 18-month program The unexpected arrival of the pandemic proved to be a blessing in disguise, providing Gay with the opportunity to concentrate fully on his studies during a time when outside distractions were limited
"The program works through summer and holidays," Gay noted "I had the same professor and classmates throughout, which created a fantastic sense of continuity " This fostered an environment conducive to learning and allowed for deeper connections among students Gay successfully graduated on October 31, 2020, and only four months later, on May 2, 2021, he secured a promotion to his current position as Assistant General Manager
The partnership between Walmart and Guild Education offers employees access to several reputable universities, eliminating financial barriers that often deter individuals from pursuing higher education For Gay, the program eliminated his excuses by providing online courses and covering the cost, which he estimates
Aspiring employees eager to learn more about the program must consult Walmart's internal website and connect with a counselor through Guild Education These counselors guide employees through the process, assisting with credit transfers and course enrollment and providing regular check-ins to ensure a seamless educational experience
