INTRODUCTION The 2013-14 Action Plan is a one-year plan to address housing and community development needs in the City of Lodi, with a particular focus on the needs of low-income households. This is the fifth year of the implementation of the five-year Consolidated Plan. Both the Consolidated Plan and the Action Plan are implemented by the Neighborhood Services Division in the Community Development Department. The 2013-14 Annual Action Plan was adopted on May 1, 2013, based upon an estimated annual allocation of $597,871 from the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Subsequent to that adoption and submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), we received formal notification that our actual annual allocation amount was $649,980. The additional $52,109 received for 2013-14 has been temporarily documented as project contingency funds for cost overruns as permitted under 24 CFR 91.220(1)(1)(i), and will be allocated to specific projects/services through this Action Plan amendment. Upon the close out of 2012-13 CDBG projects and services, the City has identified two projects and three public services which have funding available for reallocation. The two projects have been completed and had costs that were lower than anticipated, leaving a balance available for reallocation. The three public services were not able to use their entire allocation by June 30, 2013. Those remaining funds from both projects and services will need to be reallocated to either new or existing projects. The total available for reallocation is $60,286. That reallocation amount, together with the additional $52,109 received for 2013-14, provides a total of $112,395 for distribution through this Action Plan amendment process.
