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. Se, 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 at -risk of becoming homelessdueto theeeonomic 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. Thefocuswill 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 23, 2013. The general results of the survey noted an overall County -wide homeless population decrease of 39.41/6 from 2011. County -wide; the sheltered homeless population decreased by 44.4%, while the unsheltered homeless population increased by 6.4%. In Lodi, the 2013 point -in -time count noted a total of 171 homeless, both sheltered and unsheltered, an 82% overall increase from 2011. The population of sheltered homeless in Lodi increased from 68 in 2011 to 114 in 2013. The population of unsheltered homeless in Lodi increased from 26 in 2011 to 58 in 2013. The next count is scheduled for January 2015. 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 2012-2013. The City has funded many other local service providers that serve homeless and special needs groups in prior yeas and continues to support their activities. The City also participates in the planning and distribution of federal funding through the Department of Homeland Security to local emergency food and shelter providers as an active member of the local Emergency Food and Shelter Program board. SENIOR SERVICES The LOEL Center received funding for improvements in 2012-13 that are scheduled to be done in Fall 2013. Those improvements will allow for future expansion of their Existing facilities and services in 2013-14 and City of Lodi CDBG Program 16 2012-2013 CAPER beyond. The City also supported Second Harvest Food Bank which helps to meet the basic needs of seniors. 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. CD BG funding in previous year allowed for the creation of three, single-pcent shelter units to their facility. They also offer daily meds and a range of supportive services for homeless persons. Lodi House has a total of 26 bedsfor women/ children, and they offer supportive services aswell. I n 2012-13 the City provided funding to the Salvation Army for their food program that serves the homeless and needy famiIieswithin the community. Lodi staff also works with Hand Up, a grassroots homeless outreach organization that meets monthly to discuss homeless issues. Participants include the Sian Joaquin County Boad 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 na rative, and hasworked 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 affordable housing, most notably through the Tienda D rive affordable senior housing complex and the down payment assistance program. In 2012-13 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 Cityassisted Eden Housing with applications for permanent financing. In 2010-11, the City sold property to Eden Housing in an cm's length transaction to construct the 80 -unit Roget Pak project. I n 2012-13, 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. Barriers to Affordable Housing Lodi continues to work towed meeting the housing needs of its low- and moderate -income residents. Although the current economy offers significant challenges to many households, one bright side is that the housing stock affordable to low-income families has expanded significantly as a result of falling prices and historically low interest rates. Based on the median income published by HUD, a four -person low-income household (801/6 AMI) can currently afford a mortgage of about $280,000 and a one-person household could afford about $184,000. For the 12 months ending July 2013, the median home sales price was $173,000. The median rent for the same period was $1,356. City of Lodi CDBG Program 17 2012-2013 CAPER 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 neer affordable housing with preserving and rehabilitating current affordable housing resources. Many of the City's efforts to foster and maintain affordable housing relate to the Housing Element. The City recently updated its General Plan Housing Element, which was certified in 2011. The Citys2010-16 Housing Element includes a number of important programs to facilitate the development of affordable housing in Lodi. Both of these documents explore barriers to producing affordable housing, including governmental and non- governmental constraints. Governmental constraints include land use controls, entitlement prooessing, 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 schoolsto serve the development. To facilitate the development of affordable housing, the City may consider assisting developers to locate resources for funding affordable housing. Building and housing codes are implemented to ensure the safety of the community (housing residents, specifically). It is unlikely that the City will waive building or housing code requi rements as a method of i ncreasi ng aff ordabi I ity. Non-governmental constraints include the anrailability 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 I n 2008, the City received its 2007-2014 regional housing needs allocation (RH NA) 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. I n summary, the allocation calls for 25 percent of neer housing production to be affordable to low-income households and 17 percent to be affordable to moderate -income households (using the H UD CD BG 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 neer affordable housing. TheCitysdraft 2010-2016 General Plan Housing Element statesthat 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. I n 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 construe 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 and to explore opportunities for additional development of affordable housing within the community. Lead -Based Paint The City did not conduct any activities for which lead-based pant clearance was necessary in 2012-13. City of Lodi CDBG Program 18 2012-2013 CAPER For non-CDBG-funded housing programs, the City does conduct a visual assessment to identify lead-based pant haeardswhen necessary end oontractswith certified lead-based paint inspectors as required by state lanr. 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 polices, data collection, and financial management. The City recommended that each subrecipient read the "Playing by the Rul& 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 householdsthey 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 rangeof counseling and training servioesto homeless residents, and the Lodi Library adult literacy program. The Second Harvest Food Bank, which war; funded by a $7,500 CDBG grant, provided food to low-income familiesthrough local churchesand non -profits, manyof whom offer social servieesto 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 eontractswith Sian Joaquin Far Housing to providefar 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 stag in their homes. The City's support of the LOEL Center will ensure that the City's elderly receive adequate nutrition at a nominal cost. This preservesthe limited inoomethat many elderly persons have. LEVERAGING RESOURCES With respect to public servicesfunded with CDBG funds, the City requires all subrecipientsto identify other resources they will utilize during the program year to operate and 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. City of Lodi CDBG Program 19 2012-2013 CAPER Public notice included the address of City Hall, staff contact names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, the addressof websiteto viewthereport, and information on whereto direct commentsend questions. If any comments are received, the City endeavors to respond to all questions or comments withi n 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? The program year 2012-13 was Lodi's third year as a CDBG entitlement jurisdiction. The City has active grant programs engagi ng in public cervices, housing and public improvements. P.dicSetiias The City funded four public services activities in the program year: Graffiti Abatement, Second Harvest Food Bank, Fair Housing, and theSpay-Neuter program. The City had no performance issues with theseservices. Irfrastruckre During the program year the City completed Phase I I I of Alley Drainage improvements, Phase I of ADA Streets Accessibility, and improvements to the Van Buskirk Park playground. The City solicited bids and aNarded contractsfor Phase IV of Alley Drainage improvementsand Phase I I of ADA Streets Accessibility. P.dicFadlities I mprovements were completed at Salvation Army's Hope Harbor facility. Planning was done for the Grape Bowl stadium improvements including environmental review and a Section 108 loan application. By the end of the year planning was also underway for a demolition project to benefit the LOEL Senior Center and Gardens and for improvements to Lodi House. Ha,dng The Home Accessibility Modifications Program has been slow to start. City staff will continue to work with the subrecipient to launch this program. Are grant disbursements timely? HUD requires that at a point approximately three-quarters of the way through the program year, CDBG grantees have available in their line of credit no morethan 1.5timesthat year's CDBG a ard. The City of Lodi is compliant with this regulation with a timeliness ratio of 0.69 at the end of the program year. Funds are dranrn from I D I S each month as they are expended. Each mid -veer, the City analyzes each project's rate of expenditure and ability to meet identified goals. As a result of thisanalysis, the City has routinely reallocated funding that looked likely to remain unspent. Are major goals on target? Overall, the City is progressing toward its goals of fostering the development of affordable housing, improving target areasthrough public facilities and increases in services, and providing supportive servioesto the elderly and low-income households. The City will require additional effort to meet its goal of housing rehabilitation. The City is also exploring opportunities to fund economic development assistance through the local Small Business Development Center. Are any activities or types of activities falling behind schedule? The Activity Summaries section of this CAPER provides a description of each activity undertaken in 2012-13 and its actual accomplishments during the year. As described previously, the home modification and housing rehabilitation programsare still in early implementation and design phase. City of Lodi CDBG Program 20 2012-2013 CAPER 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 Citys considerable efforts to foster neighborhood improvements will allow more residents to have acoessto 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 Citys 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 eKoeeds 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 neer 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 increasefunding efficacy.
