BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements of
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
The 2011/12 CAPER (Exhibit A) describesthe programs and activities accomplished during that program

period for the CAPER document began September4, 2012 and will end September 19,2012.
At the completion of the 2011/12 Program Year, there were unused CDBG funds from projects and/or
services from the 2010/11 Program Year that will need to be reallocated to new or existing 2012/13
project(s), which requires the amendment of the 2012/13 Action Plan. In addition, we are looking to
reallocate a portion of the funds from an existing 2012/13 Project to a new 2012/13 project, which also
requires amendment of the 2012/13 Action Plan. The public review and comment period for this Action
Plan amendment began August 20,2012 and will end September 19,2012.

Uses: The reallocated funds will be distributed as follows:
Proiect Number Proiect Name Reallocation Amount
12-09 (Existing Project) LOEL Demolition Project $25,000.00
12-11 (New Project) Grape Bowl ADA Improvements II $335,967.66
Descriptions:
The reallocation to the LOEL Center is based upon their request for an additional $25,000 to the
$120,086 that they were awarded for 2012/13 in order to cover additional civil engineering costs that they
have projected for their project that will demolish the existing church building at 125 S. Washington and
make improvements for an interim use as a community garden and parking for the LOEL Center. The
project contemplates the expansion of the LOEL Center facility or the development of affordable senior
housing.
The reallocation to a new Grape Bowl ADA Improvement project is an alternative to the Section 108
Loan Guarantee Program application that was included and approved along with the 2012/13 Action
Plan. That Section 108 application requested $808,000 for CDBG-eligible ADA improvements to remove
barriers to accessibility at the facility and pledged a portion of our annual CDBG allocations for the next
15 years as a means of repayment. Based upon recently revised project cost estimates provided by
Public Works, the estimated CDBG-eligibleADA improvement costs in this project have been reduced to
approximately $475,000. The proposed reallocation of $335,964 would supplement the current 2011
allocation balance of $137,000 to meet that project estimate.
The reallocation of $100,000 from the 12-02 ADA Accessibility Improvement Project will leave a
remaining balance of $190,041 for ADA parking and path of travel improvements that have been
proposed at various locations throughout Lodi.
FISCAL IMPACT: The CAPER document and the Action Plan Amendment is being completed
as an administrative activity that is funded through the City's CDBG
administrative allocation from HUD.

IV.GENERAL NARRATIVE
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
In program year 2011-12, alley improvements and street accessibility projects were
completed in low-income areas. The improvements to Van Buskirk Park and the Salvation
Army facility were also in low-income areas. Please see the maps attached as Exhibits "A"
and "B" showing activity locations and the City's low-income target areas.
The feral cat component of the spay -neuter program is also conducted on a low-income area
basis. All cats were trapped in low-income areas.
AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING
In 2009-10, the City completed an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. 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 2011-12 program 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. 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.
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.
2011-2012 CAPER
• 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 2011-12 focused on expanding the supply of
affordable housing and improving the ability of households to afford homeownership.
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 contract for funding expired in May 2012. At the
completion of the contract, a total of three loans had been made. Two of those loans were
completed in 2011-12
The City used an allocation of NSP and HOME funds available from the Urban County to
complete four single-family new construction. 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 at -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.
2011-2012 CAPER
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. The
next count is scheduled for January 2013.
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 2011-
2012. 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 funded an expansion of 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
The LOEL Center received funding for improvements in 2010-11. Those improvements
facilitated an increase in nutrition services provided by the Center in 2011-12. 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. In this past year, the Salvation Army has added three, single -
parent shelter units to their facility. 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.
2011-2012 CAPER
In 2011-12 the City provided funding to the Salvation Army to create three new family
shelter units in the Hope Harbor facility.
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
affordable housing, most notably through the Tienda Drive affordable senior housing
complex and the downpayment assistance program.
In 2011-12 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 final for the City's downpayment assistance program,
funded by an $800,000 HOME grant through the California Department of Housing and
Urban Development. Two homebuyers were assisted.
In 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 toward meeting the housing needs of its low- and moderate -income
residents. Although the current economy offers significant challenges to many households,
2011-2012 CAPER
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 (80%
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 January 2012, the median home sales price was $145,000. The
median rent for the same period was $1,334.
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.
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 City's 2010-16 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 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 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 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
2011-2012 CAPER
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 2011-12.
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.
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.
2011-2012 CAPER
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 $5,000 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
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.
2011-2012 CAPER
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?
The program year 2011-12 was Lodi s third year as a CDBG entitlement jurisdiction. The
City has active grant programs engaging in public services, housing and public
improvements.
Public Services
The City funded four public services activities in the program year: Graffiti Abatement,
Second Harvest Food Bank, Fair Housing, and the Spay -Neuter program. The City had no
performance issues with these services.
Infrastructure
During the program year the City completed Phase II of Alley Drainage improvements,
Phase I of ADA Streets Accessibility, and improvements to the Van Buskirk Park
playground. The City solicited bids and awarded contracts for Phase III of Alley Drainage
improvements and Phase II of ADA Streets Accessibility.
Public Facilities
Improvements 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.
Economic Development
The City has solicited business for its economic development program and not had any
responses that are feasible. The City will discontinue this program and re -allocated funds.
Housing
The Home Accessibility Modifications Program has been slow to start. City staff will
continue to work with the subrecipient to launch this program.
2011-2012 CAPER
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 more than 1.5 times that year's
CDBG award.
The City of Lodi is compliant with this regulation with a timeliness ratio of 0.89 at the end of
the program year. Funds are drawn from IDIS each month as they are expended.
Each mid -year, the City analyzes each project's rate of expenditure and ability to meet
identified goals. As a result of this analysis, the City has routinely re -allocated 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 areas through public facilities and increases in services, and
providing supportive services to the elderly and low-income households. The City will
require additional effort to meet its goal of housing rehabilitation. The City has determined
that a small-scale economic development program is not feasible.
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 2011-12 and its actual accomplishments during the year. As described
previously, the home modification and housing rehabilitation programs are still in early
implementation and design phase.
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.
2011-2012 CAPER
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.
