BACKGROUND 1NFORMATI DN: The City of Lodi has received a Workforce Housing (WFH) Reward
Program grant in the amount of $23,000 for 2005 and is applying for a new WFH grant amount for 2006.
It is anticipated that the grant amount for 2006 will be similar to the amount awarded for 2005. The WFH
Program rewards cities and oounties that approve housing affordable to lower-income households. This
grant has been awarded to the City of Lodi in recognition of our ongoing effort to meet the
implementation policies of our Housing Element and to provide affordable housing to the citizens of Lodi.
The funds are awarded to jurisdictions that meet the threshold requirements of the Program for
complying with the goals of their Housing Element.
The grant funds do not have to be used specifically for affordable housing. The funds must however, be
used for the construction, rehabilitation or acquisition of capital assets that benefit the community. The
2005 Grant Funds have been earmarked for capital improvements as described by the Eastside Mobility
Access Plan. Use of the 2006 grant proceeds has not been specifically identified. They can be used on
physical property with a useful life of 15 -years or more or for equipment with a useful life of 2 -years or
more. Examples of Capital Asset projects that qualify include the following: Street Improvements;
Historic Preservation; Downtown Revitalization; Public Infrastructure; Parks and Recreation; Americans
with Disabilities Act Retrofits; Libraries & Other Public Facilities.

that exceeds the amount of the Grant(s), the City will need to find
