V. GENERAL NARRATIVE
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
In program year 2013-14, the following activities were provided on an area basis:
• Hale Park sport court re -surfacing;
• Graffiti abatement;
• Spay -neuter (feral cat trapping); and
• LOEL Center improvements.
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 2013-14 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.
• 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 2013-14 focused on expanding the supply of affordable housing and
improving the ability of households to afford homeownership.
City of Lodi CDBG Program
16
2013-2014 CAPER
The City continued to work with Eden Housing on the 80 -unit affordable senior housing complex planned in
the Roger 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.
In 2013-14, the City received an $800,000 HOME grant through the California Department of Housing and
Community Development to offer a first-time homebuyer downpayment assistance program.
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.
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 39.4% 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 years 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.
City of Lodi CDBG Program
17
2013-2014 CAPER
SENIOR SERVICES
The LOEL Center received funding for improvements in 2012-13 that was complete in Fall 2013. Those
improvements allowed for the expansion of services. LOEL received additional funding in 2013-14 that
further improved accessibility and increased the capacity of the Center. The City also supported Second
Harvest Food Bank which helps to meet the basic needs of seniors.
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. CDBG
funding in previous year allowed for the creation of 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.
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 down payment assistance program.
In 2013-14 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.
In 2013-14, 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, 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.
City of Lodi CDBG Program
18
2013-2014 CAPER
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.
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 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 and to explore opportunities for
additional development of affordable housing within the community.
City of Lodi CDBG Program
19
2013-2014 CAPER
Lead -Based Paint
The City did not conduct any activities for which lead-based paint clearance was necessary in 2013-14.
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.
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 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.

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 2013-14 was Lodi's fifth 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.
The City also funded the Mobile Farmers' Market program. The agency experienced significant staffing
turnover and was unable to undertake the CDBG-funded program this year. The City determined that the
Spay -Neuter program will no longer receive CDBG funding.
Infrastructure
The City completed alley improvements, parks accessibility, and the Grape Bowl project in 2013-14. The City
completed bidding and award for downtown parking.
Public Facilities
Improvements were completed at LOEL Senior Center and Hutchins Street Square.
Housing
The City discontinued the Home Accessibility Modifications Program due to a lack of capacity on the part of
the subrecipient. Environmental review and bidding documents were completed for the weatherization of
public housing units.
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 0.57 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
City of Lodi CDBG Program

rehabilitation. The City is also working with the local Small Business Development Center to provide
economic development services.
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 2013-14
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.
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.

2014-15 Annual Action Plan - Amendment #1 DRAFT
p.1 of 2
I. INTRODUCTION
The 2014-15 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 first 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 2014-15 Annual Action Plan was adopted on May 7, 2014, and approved by the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development in July 2014.
Upon the close out of 2013-14 CDBG projects and services, the City has identified three projects
and two public services which have funding available for reallocation. The three projects have
been completed and had costs that were lower than anticipated, leaving a balance available for
reallocation. The two public services were not able to use their entire allocation by June 30,
2014. Those remaining funds from both projects and services will need to be reallocated to
either new or existing projects. The total amount available for reallocation is $6,915.
