MEETING DATE: September 7,201 1 PREPARED BY: Community Development Department RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing to consider and approve the 2010/11 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER); a Separation Agreement with San Joaquin County; and an amendment of the 2011112 Action Plan to accommodate the reallocation of unused CDBG funds from the 2010/11 Program Year and transferred CDBG funds from San Joaquin County through the Separation Agreement. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The 2010/11 CAPER describes the programs and activities accomplished during that program year, in which the City received $810,608 in federal CDBG funds. The public review and comment period for the CAPER document began August 23,201 1 and ends September 7,201 1. At the completion of the 2010/11 Program Year, there were unused CDBG funds from three Public Services and one project that will need reallocating to a new or existing 2011112 project(s), which will require the amendment of the 2011/12 Action Plan. The public review and comment period for this Action Plan amendment began August 8,201 1 and ends September 7,201 1. In addition, as the City elected to separate from the Urban County in 2009 in order to receive CDBG funding directly as an Entitlement Community, a Separation Agreement is required to be executed between San Joaquin County and the City of Lodi and forwarded to the U.S. Departmentof Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for that agency's subsequent review and approval. Through that Separation Agreement, we have identified unused Urban County CDBG funds that will need to be transferred from the HUD line of credit for San Joaquin County to the HUD line of credit for the City of Lodi Entitlement. The funds transferred through that Separation Agreement will need to be designated to new or existing 2011/12 projects, which will be included in the amendment of the 2011/12 Action Plan.

This document reviews demographics; lending patterns; local, state, and federal codes and regulations; fair housing complaints; and other relevant resources to determine impediments to fair housing in the community. The Al also identified actions the City will take in order to address fair housing impediments. During the 2010-11 fiscal year, the City contracted with San Joaquin Fair Housing, a local non-profit agency that offers information of fair housing law and mediates tenant -landlord disputes, as well as investigates housing discrimination complaints. No investigations were conducted in the program year. Fliers relating to fair housing topics were distributed to four locations in Lodi, and San Joaquin Fair Housing offered drop-in fair housing services from the Lodi Public Library one day per week. Information was available by phone from their Stockton offices five days per week. Additional actions taken to promote fair housing include the participation in community events, advertisement in the Lodi News -Sentinel and on local cable access television, and maintaining a website with fair housing information. Fair Housing staff hosted a booth at the local Farmers' Market twice during the program year. The City displays fair housing materials at City Hall, and copies of these materials are free to the public. Fair housing information is sent free of charge to those who request it. In addition, the City promotes fair housing awareness in its housing programs and works with housing providers in the City to ensure the fair and equitable treatment of persons and households seeking housing in the City. In the update of the City's Housing Element, the City committed to taking the following actions to address fair housing. • Provide incentives for affordable housing development. • Increase housing options through better definition of both transitional and supportive housing. • Provide Homebuyer Assistance • Subdivide larger sites for development of housing for low-income households AFFORDABLE HOUSING The City's affordable housing efforts in 2010-11 focused on expanding the supply of affordable housing and improving the ability of households to afford homeownership. 2010-2011 CAPER The City continued to work with Eden Housing on the 80 -unit affordable senior housing complex planned in the Roget Park area. The project design was finalized and Eden Housing and the City have actively pursued funding to close the gap on this project. This project is currently in the pre -development phase. The City also received an $800,000 HOME grant through the California Department of Housing and Community Development to offer a first-time homebuyer downpayment assistance program. The City completed the program guidelines and began marketing and accepting applications in 2010-11. The City used an allocation of NSP and HOME funds available from the Urban County to complete four single-family acquisition -rehabilitation projects. Two are being marketed to low-income households (80% AMI), two to moderate income households (120% AMI). All have sales prices affordable to the buyers, all are resale restricted. CONTINUUM OF CARE NARRATIVE Lodi is a member of San Joaquin County Continuum of Care. The Continuum of Care is coordinated by the San Joaquin County Neighborhood Preservation Division, which also manages the Shelter Plus Care and Supportive Housing Programs, both of which provide homeless County residents with rental assistance and supportive services. San Joaquin County also coordinates the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re -housing Program, which offers short-term and medium-term assistance to homeless households or households as risk of becoming homeless due to the economic recession. The Continuum of Care is in the process of developing a Homelessness Prevention Plan, which will contain strategies and priority actions to expand programs and services for homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness in the region. The focus will be on developing individual and family self-sufficiency and, to the extent possible, helping persons at risk of homelessness to remain in their homes. This effort has continued from the previous program year. Lodi participates in the bi-annual countywide homeless survey. Staff assists with the planning and the point -in -time count, and sponsors a community event that focuses on connecting homeless persons with local services in coordination with the homeless count. The event was held on January 26, 2011. The general results of the survey noted a County- wide increase of 12% in sheltered homeless and 97% increase in unsheltered homeless. Local Service Provider Assistance There are many local and regional organizations that provide assistance to the homeless, persons at risk of homelessness, seniors, and other special needs groups. These organizations include the Salvation Army, Second Harvest Food Bank, LOEL Senior Center, Lodi House, Hand Up, and many others. Second Harvest Food Bank, which provides food primarily to very low-income families, and LOEL, which serves primarily low-income seniors, both received grant funding in 2010- 2010-2011 CAPER 2011. The City has funded many other local service providers that serve homeless and special needs groups in prior years and continues to support their activities. The City has allocated funding to expand the capacity of the local Salvation Army Shelter. The improvements will allow the shelter to serve families. The City also participates in the planning for emergency food and shelter services as an active member of the local FEMA board. Senior Services In 2010-11, the City funded improvements to kitchen at the LOEL Center. The improvements are currently underway, and once completed LOEL will begin preparing and delivering meals to homebound seniors (Meals on Wheels) as well as continuing to offer congregate meals at the senior center. The City also continued to make progress on the 80 - unit affordable senior housing complex planned for the Roget Park area. Homeless and Homeless Prevention Services Lodi has several agencies that serve homeless populations. The Salvation Army operates an emergency shelter with 45 beds for men and 25 beds for women/children, and owns four units of transitional housing. They also offer daily meals and a range of supportive services for homeless persons. Lodi House has a total of 26 beds for women/children, and they offer supportive services as well. Although the City did not use CDBG funding in 2010-11 to support these organizations, the City has funded them in the past and continues to support their efforts in other ways. Lodi staff also works with Hand Up, a grassroots homeless outreach organization that meets monthly to discuss homeless issues. Participants include the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors, Salvation Army, the Unity Project, and several churches. Many of the churches work together to provide meals to the homeless in a local park. OTHER ACTIONS IN SUPPORT OF CDBG GOALS Actions to Address Obstacles to Meeting Under -Served Needs The need for affordable housing for low-income households and seniors continues to exceed the available resources. The City has provided services, discussed previously under the Continuum of Care narrative, and has worked to create new affordable housing opportunities for under -served groups, including seniors. Fostering and Maintaining Affordable Housing The City of Lodi Strategic Plan identifies development of new housing resources as a primary component of the City's housing strategy. The City is actively encouraging 2010-2011 CAPER affordable housing, most notably through the Tienda Drive affordable senior housing complex and the downpayment assistance program. In 2010-11 the City continued to work with Eden Housing on the development of an 80 -unit affordable senior housing complex. Site plans were completed, and the City assisted Eden Housing with applications for permanent financing. In 2010-11, the City sold property to Eden Housing in an arm's length transaction to construct the 80 -unit Roget Park project. The current program year was the second for the City's downpayment assistance program, funded by an $800,000 HOME grant through the California Department of Housing and Urban Development. One homebuyer was assisted. In 2011-12, the City plans to devote additional resources to advancing affordable housing opportunities. City staff plans to explore alternative resources, including tax credits and regional and state grant opportunities. The City has allocated $100,000 in CDBG to Barriers to Affordable Housing Lodi continues to work toward meeting the housing needs of its low- and moderate -income residents. Falling home sales prices in Lodi have made home purchase more affordable to low- and moderate -income households. The median sales price for homes in Lodi in 2010 was $136,737. Despite falling sales prices in Lodi and San Joaquin County, home prices and rents are still high enough to make it difficult for extremely low-income households to locate an affordable unit. A continued supply of housing affordable to all household income levels is essential to meet the needs of the residents of the City. The City recognizes the importance of balancing construction of new affordable housing with preserving and rehabilitating current affordable housing resources. The City has updated its General Plan Housing Element and completed an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. The Housing Element will be considered by the Planning Commission in September 2011 and by the City Council in October 2011. Both of these documents explore barriers to producing affordable housing, including governmental and non-governmental constraints. Governmental constraints include land use controls, entitlement processing, fees, and building codes. Land use controls are necessary to ensure orderly and appropriate development and growth in the City. Fees, land dedication, and public improvements are usually required as part of land development and entitlement processing to ensure an adequate supply of infrastructure, parks, and schools to serve the development. To facilitate the development of affordable housing, the City may consider assisting developers in locating resources for funding affordable housing. Building and housing codes are implemented to ensure the safety of the community (housing residents, 2010-2011 CAPER specifically). It is unlikely that the City will waive building or housing code requirements as a method of increasing affordability. Non-governmental constraints include the availability of mortgage and rehabilitation financing, the supply and cost of land, and construction costs. The City will monitor these constraints and provide incentives to reduce them when possible. Regional Housing Needs Allocation In 2008, the City received its 2007-2014 regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) from the local Council of Governments. The allocation indicated the continued need for a supply of affordable housing and targets these needs by income group. In summary, the allocation calls for 25 percent of new housing production to be affordable to low-income households and 17 percent to be affordable to moderate -income households (using the HUD CDBG income definitions, which differ from those used in the Housing Element). This is a total of 917 low-income units and 650 moderate -income units, and reflects a significant need for new affordable housing. The City's draft 2010-2016 General Plan Housing Element states that based on the state allocation of regional housing needs, Lodi will need to demonstrate the capacity to accommodate 917 housing units affordable to low-income households and 650 housing units affordable to moderate -income households during the planning period. In addition, the City will have to demonstrate the capacity to accommodate 716 units for persons earning between 81 and 120 percent of the area median income. Public Housing and Resident Initiatives The City does not own any public housing. The 2009-2014 Consolidated Plan does not include plans to construct or operate public housing. The City does have two public and/or subsidized housing developments within its boundaries. These are owned and operated by the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin (HACSJ). The City works with HACSJ to ensure the continued quality of public housing in the City. Lead -Based Paint The City did not conduct any activities for which lead-based paint clearance was necessary in 2010-11. For non-CDBG-funded housing programs, the City does conduct a visual assessment to identify lead-based paint hazards when necessary and contracts with certified lead-based paint inspectors as required by state law. 2010-2011 CAPER Compliance and Monitoring City staff met with the subrecipient staff responsible for each activity prior to the beginning of the program year. All subrecipients were informed of the obligations to collect the required information on income, household composition, and race and ethnicity. The City also provided information on subrecipient agreement policies, data collection, and financial management. The City recommended that each subrecipient read the "Playing by the Rules" guide produced by HUD. Staff provided technical assistance to subrecipients throughout the year. Each quarter, staff examined the progress each subrecipient was making toward performance targets. Public services subrecipients must report their service population with each billing. Billings must be at least quarterly. Each subrecipient agreement contains provisions for reductions to or suspensions of payments in the event that targets are not being met (without valid reason) or when past performance issues have not been resolved. The City has placed a strong emphasis on its subrecipients gathering complete and accurate information on the persons and/or households they serve, and regularly reporting on progress. Anti -Poverty Strategy During the program year, the City worked with several organizations that focus on increasing self-sufficiency among lower-income populations. These organizations included the Salvation Army, which provides a full range of counseling and training services to homeless residents, and the Lodi Library adult literacy program. The Second Harvest Food Bank, which was funded by a $10,000 CDBG grant, provided food to low-income families through local churches and non -profits, many of whom offer social services to assist with job training and housing security. The City provides code enforcement services to ensure that lower-income households have a habitable place to live. The City contracts with San Joaquin Fair Housing to provide fair housing counseling to residents; most of the households that take advantage of this resource are low-income. The housing counseling offers advice on resolving tenant -landlord disputes, among other topics, in an attempt to help low-income households stay in their homes. The City's support of the LOEL Center kitchen renovation will ensure that the City's elderly receive adequate nutrition at a nominal cost. This preserves the limited income that many elderly persons have. LEVERAGING RESOURCES With respect to public services funded with CDBG funds, the City requires all subrecipients to identify other resources they will utilize during the program year to operate and 2010-2011 CAPER implement CDBG-supported activities. It is the City's intent to ensure adequate non-federal and private funds are available, thus minimizing the dependence on federal funds. To best leverage the City's available resources, the City will continue to layer private and non- federal resources with federal resources. CITIZEN COMMENTS The City provided public notice of the public review period and planned submission of this CAPER. The draft document was made available on the City website and at City Hall. Public notice included the address of City Hall, staff contact names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, the address of website to view the report, and information on where to direct comments and questions. If any comments are received, the City endeavors to respond to all questions or comments within 10 business days. The City received no comments on this CAPER during the public comment period. SELF-EVALUATION What is the status of grant programs? 2010-11 was Lodi's second year as a CDBG entitlement jurisdiction; however the City had several years of experience operating a CDBG program under the Urban County. As of July 2011, the City had expended 72 percent if its first-year allocation and 38 percent of its second -year allocation. Projects are underway to expend the remaining funds for both years. The City worked with four non-profit service providers on public service and facility projects benefiting low- and moderate -income households and seniors. The City also conducted services and facility improvements in the target areas. Are grant disbursements timely? HUD requires that at a point approximately three-quarters of the way through the fiscal year, grantees have available in their line of credit no more than 1.5 times that year's entitlement grant. The City of Lodi is compliant with this regulation with a timeliness ratio of .86 at the end of the fiscal year. Staff has implemented a system to draw funds shortly after the costs are paid or incurred, and continues to meet with City Departments monthly to ensure that CDBG- funded projects and activities are on track. Are major goals on target? Overall, the City is progressing toward its goals of fostering the development of affordable housing, improving target areas through public facilities and increases in services, and providing supportive services to the elderly and low-income households. Other goals in the five-year Consolidated Plan that will need continued effort include rehabilitation of residential areas on Lodi s Eastside and programs targeted at economic development. 2010-2011 CAPER Are any activities or types of activities falling behind schedule? The Activity Summaries section, beginning on page 2, provides a description of each activity planned in 2010-11 and its actual accomplishments during the year. All planned projects were started during the fiscal year. Phase I of the alley drainage project started later than anticipated due to engineering delays, but completed during the 2010-11 year. Phase II is underway as of the date of this report. Each mid -year, the City analyzed each project's rate of expenditure and ability to meet identified goals. As a result of this analysis, the City has routinely moved to reallocate funding that looked likely to remain unspent.. Are the activities and strategies making an impact on identified needs? The housing and community development activities that are funded through the grant are making a positive impact in the community and specifically on the needs identified in the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. The funded activities and strategies are vital to the City's health and well-being in many ways. The City's considerable efforts to foster neighborhood improvements will allow more residents to have access to attractive, safe, and affordable housing, community services, and public facilities. The funded public service activities provide many vulnerable citizens, such as seniors and extremely low-income persons, with essential and life -enhancing services. Each funded activity in this program year is directly related to one of the goals in the Consolidated Plan and helps to further achievement of the City's community development objectives and goals. What barriers may have a negative impact on fulfilling the strategies and the overall vision? The primary barrier to achieving the Consolidated Plan goals and strategies is a lack of funding. The City's need for affordable housing, public facilities, and public services to fully serve the low- and moderate -income population is extensive, and far exceeds available funding resources. The economic recession also limits the City's ability to funds projects and program using local resources. Based on findings, what adjustments or improvements to strategies and activities might meet the City's needs more effectively? The City will devote substantial staff time to researching new funding opportunities to maximize the City's ability to meet residents' needs. The City will also evaluate all proposed activities based on factors such as leveraging and number of beneficiaries in an attempt to increase funding efficacy.
