Page 3 of 4
Staff recommends that the three activities supporting the LodiGRIP Program be grouped and funded
as one allocation, with the individual organizations having funds set-aside within that allocation for
their specific -activities.
Special Projects/Activities
An additional element of the 2015/16 Annual Action Plan is for Council to authorize the City to pursue
the following special projects and/or activities to address priority needs identified in the Consolidated
Plan:
+ Establish Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area — A tool for neighborhood revitalization
that provides benefits for administering CDBG funding in targeted areas, encourages public
and private investment in the community, and builds stronger relationships with neighborhood
stakeholders including residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, elected officials, law
enforcement, and faith organizations that have a chance to find out that their individual
interests often coincide; and
• Pursue applications to the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program for the following projects:
o Partnership with Habitat for Humanity and F&M Bank for an Acquisition -Rehabilitation -
Resale program for affordable housing development;
o Additional funding to Eden Housing for the Tienda Drive Senior Housing Project;
o Economic development incentives for the repurpose of the General Mills facility.
Section 108 is the loan guarantee provision of the CDBG program that provides communities
with a source of financing for economic development, housing rehabilitation, public facilities,
and large-scale physical development projects. Section 108 loans are not risk-free, however;
local governments borrowing funds guaranteed by Section 108 must pledge their current and
future CDBG allocations to cover the loan amount as security for the loan. Additional security
will also be required to assure repayment of guaranteed obligations. The additional security
requirements will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but could include assets financed by
the guaranteed loan. The maximum repayment period for a Section 108 loan is 20 years.
However, when previously considered, the City Council voiced a preference for a loan term of
no more than 15 years.
Each of these special projects and/or activities would be brought back to Council with more specific
detail before they are submitted to HUD for consideration, but they need to be referenced within the
Annual Action Plan.
Public Comment Period
The draft Annual Action Plan document has been available for public review and comment since April
6, 2015. The only comments received to date have been from the Lodi Improvement Committee
(LIC), which voiced support for the Annual Action Plan, especially the concept of establishing a
Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. Their letter offering support and assistance in the
development and oversight of the plan is attached as Exhibit D and will be incorporated into the final
Action Plan document.

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,

JOSEPH WOOD, Neighborhood
Services Manager
The Lodi Improvement Committee is asking for your support in pursuing the establishment and
implementation a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (MRSA) as referenced in the
2015/16 Annual Action Plan. The creation of a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area
could be a tool for revitalization that would provide benefits for administering Community
Development Block Grant funds in targeted areas, as well as encourage public and private
investment in the community. This would build stronger relationships with neighborhood
stakeholders such as residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, elected officials, law
enforcement and faith organizations.
The Lodi Improvement Committee would be prepared to be a fundamental part of the
development of a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area providing outreach and
engagement with the community. Once the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area is
established the Lodi Improvement Committee would be a willing partner and provide guidance
with the administration of funds allocated to the Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Jv

Executive Summary
AP -05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.2OO(c), 91.22O(b)
1. Introduction
In order to be eligible to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, the City of
Lodi must submit a Consolidated Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) every five years, and is required to update that plan annually. The Consolidated Plan is an
assessment and analysis of local conditions and issues related to housing, homelessness,
community development, and economic development. Utilizing a comprehensive outreach and
citizen participation process, the Consolidated Plan describes priority needs facing the
community and develops strategies to address those needs. This 2015 Annual Action Plan is the
second of five required annual updates to the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan.
The annual Plan also identifies funding priorities and details the projects proposed to receive
Federal funds under the CDBG Program, the State HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)
Program and the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
The Needs Assessment within the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan identified several target
populations:
• Extremely low-income and very low-income households;
• Seniors;
• Youth, primarily ages 6 — 17;
• Persons with disabilities; and
• Foster youth.
The Needs Assessment also identified several types of projects and services that are needed in
the community, including the following:
• Public facilities (either new or upgrades/expansions to existing facilities), including
community centers, youth facilities, community gardens and one-stop service centers;
• Affordable housing programs for new housing construction, the preservation and
rehabilitation of existing rental housing, emergency housing repairs, down -payment
assistance and tenant -based rental assistance;
• Crime prevention activities to provide resources to support law enforcement and
crime prevention programming in designated neighborhoods;
• Public improvements, especially those focused on increasing accessibility, such as ADA
curbs ramps and sidewalk infill, and storm drainage and flooding improvements;
DRAFT Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
2
• Public services for a wide range of populations, including seniors, youth, disabled
persons, homeless households, foster youth, displaced workers, and households with
fair housing issues;
• Employment development services to provide training and to support job creation.
Through the full five year term of the Consolidated Plan, the City of Lodi anticipates funding
projects related to all of these needs, although available funding resources, community-based
organization partnerships, and market conditions may ultimately limit the City's ability to fund
some project types.
Given the City's relatively small CDBG allocation, funds for affordable housing or other large
capital improvement projects will need to come from other sources such as the State HOME
Program and HUD's Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program.
3. Evaluation of past performance
The City of Lodi received $602,382 in CDBG entitlement funds In FY 2014/15. The City funded 5
public service programs. The funding for these programs encompassed a variety of services to
benefit youth, needy families, seniors, homeless persons, and other special needs groups.
Award amounts ranged from $1,500 to $42,000.
The City also supported community development projects based on clearly identified needs.
Among these initiatives were programs that focused on handicap accessibility projects and
public infrastructure improvements in low-income neighborhoods. Both the public service
programs and the community development projects were based on priorities identified in the
Consolidated Plan.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
Two of the formal objectives of the Plan are to: 1) promote citizen participation in the
development of local priority needs and objectives; and 2) encourage consultation with public
and private agencies to identify shared needs and solutions to persistent community problems.
The Neighborhood Services Division of the Community Development Department invites the
community to provide input on the way grant funds from the HUD are spent. This Citizen's
Participation Plan outlines the way the City communicates with residents regarding the use and
expenditure of HUD funds.
DRAFT Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
Community and neighborhood meetings are organized by City staff and/or by local community-
based organizations to seek community input and identify community needs. These meetings
serve several purposes:
• Obtains community input about funds should be spent;
• Solicits information about neighborhood needs;
• Builds a sense of community among neighborhood residents;
• Encourages community empowerment and greater community voice;
• Provides neighborhoods with information about city services.
The City continues to address potential gaps in the delivery system. The following are a few
examples of efforts to overcome gaps in the institutional structure and to enhance coordination
include:
• The Neighborhood Services Division staff work with the City's Finance, Parks Planning,
and Public Works Departments to ensure that capital improvement projects are on
schedule, and that invoices are paid in a timely manner.
• The Neighborhood Services Manager participates in the following the
community/collaborative committees on a regular basis:
o San Joaquin County Emergency Food and Shelter Board
o "Hand Up" Homeless Outreach Group
o City of Lodi ADA Committee/Citizen Advisory Panel
o Lodi Improvement Committee
• The Neighborhood Services Manager is involved in the update of the City's Housing
Element, particularly in the discussions surrounding multi -family and affordable housing,
and a review of existing HUD -funded housing programs and an evaluation of their
effectiveness.
• The Neighborhood Services Manager is leading the development of an Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.
5. Summary of public comments
At the first City Council Public Hearing on April 1, 2015, a total of five people spoke in support
of the various organizations and proposed projects and activities. One comment was received
prior to the opening of the Public Hearing in regards to one of the applicants that was not being
recommended for funding.

6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them
The City has not received any public comments that were not accepted.
7. Summary
The City Council was supportive of the recommendations for allocation of CDBG funding that
were presented to them at the Public Hearing. All but one member of the public spoke in favor
of the various recommendations. One applicant that was not being recommended for funding
spoke about the services that her organization provides to needy families and individuals within
the community and commented that this is the second year in a row that she has not been
awarded funding. City staff reiterated to the City Council that this was due, primarily, to the
CDBG regulations that places a 15 percent cap on funding for public service activities and not
the validity of the applicant's request for funding. Staff went on to explain that the impact of
the public services cap on funding recommendations that can address the priority needs within
the community is one of the primary reasons why the 2015/16 Action Plan includes the
authorization for staff to pursue the creation of a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area.

AP -10 Consultation — 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(1)
Introduction
In preparing the Action Plan, the City consulted with a variety of agencies, including local and regional
community-based organizations, the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin, and many others.
The goal of the consultation process was to provide detail of the priority needs identified in the
Consolidated Plan and how those agencies best could focus their programs and activities to help address
those priority needs and to explore opportunities for coordination to improve availability and access to
services.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1))
City staff has been meeting with several local health, mental health and service agencies to explore
opportunities to increase service delivery through mobile and fixed locations in or at least closer to the
neighborhoods where the clientele reside.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City of Lodi will continue to work as part of the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care (CoQ in
2015-16. The CoC is currently administered by the San Joaquin County Community Development
Department, with several local agencies and organizations receiving funding.
The City's efforts to address the needs of homeless persons have included participation and support of
"A Hand Up", a local homeless advocacy and outreach group made up of social service providers and
faith -based organizations that meet monthly to discuss homeless issues and effective ways of

The City has also been working with a Homeless Task Force made up of key City staff, representatives
from the Salvation Army and local faith -based organizations, and the Lodi Community Foundation, a
local philanthropic organization. Led by the Lodi Police Department, this task force has built consensus
and support to explore a number of short- and long-range solutions to reduce homelessness and
mitigate its effect on the community.

The City of Lodi does not have sufficient population to receive Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funding
directly. The San Joaquin County Neighborhood Preservation Division administers several federal grant
programs that provide direct assistance to homeless individuals and families. They include several
Supportive Housing Programs (SHP) and a Shelter Plus Care (SPC) Program. The SPC program provides
rent assistance for disabled homeless individuals. Supportive Housing Programs provide rent assistance
and supportive services to homeless families and individuals to assist them in making a successful
transition from homelessness to independent living. Funds for these programs are received through
HUD's Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Grant Application process.

Expected Resources
AP -15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c) (1, 2)
Introduction
The City of Lodi will have a total of $613,405 in new CDBG funds for program year 2015-2016. Allocation of funds and assignment of priorities for
funding are based upon the national goals set forth by HUD regulations, and local goals for housing and community development. Local goals,
consistent with HUD regulations, focus on building up and improving the City's residents and neighborhoods.
In addition to the CDBG funding that Lodi receives as an Entitlement community, Lodi has been awarded State HOME funding for a First Time
Home Buyer Program. The allocation of State HOME funds ($700,000) will be available from 2013-2016. The City intends on pursuing additional
funding through the State HOME Program, Cal -Home, and other state and federal resources as may be appropriate
In 2015-16, the City plans to pursue funding through the Section 108 Loan Guarantee program. The specific amount and use of the loan
proceeds will be determined during the plan year. The City will amend the annual Action Plan to document the use. Possible uses being
considered are: single-family acquisition/rehabilitation/resale program, multi -family housing, and/or economic development (job creation).

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching
requirements will be satisfied.
The CDBG program does not have a matching requirement. However, in evaluating the proposals for CDBG funding each year, the City uses
match funds as a factor in determining recommended allocations.
If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in
the plan.
As of the writing of this Plan, there was not anticipated to be any publicly -owned land or property within the City that would be used to address
identified needs. The City may use some CDBG funding to acquire such land over the course of the planning period.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
In making project recommendations, consideration was given to a variety of thresholds that projects
must meet to comply with CDBG objectives, including meeting one of the national objectives and
addressing one of the community priorities set out in the Consolidated Plan. Staff also took into account
activity need and justification, cost reasonableness and effectiveness, activity management and
implementation, experience with similar activities, past performance, leveraged funds, and
completeness of the application.
In addition, the City looked at three supplemental factors that could increase the score for certain
applications. The first was whether the applicant requested funding from the City of Lodi in the prior
year and was not awarded. The second was whether the program/project provide specific benefit to aid
the residents in the neighborhoods the City has identified as Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Areas of
Poverty (RCAP/ECAP). The third was whether the program/project meet any of the high priority goals
identified in the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan.
Project recommendations are for those projects determined most likely to be successful and maintain
compliance with CDBG regulations.
While there are several constraints to meeting the needs of low-income residents, the primary obstacle
is that there is a lack of funding to fully address all needs. The economic challenges facing the nation
DRAFT Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
23
have forced many nonprofits to cut services at a time when governmental entities and others are least
able to provide them.
A second obstacle to meeting underserved needs is that the location of many available services is in the
City of Stockton. Lodi works closely with the regional transit agencies to improve access, and there are
several daily public transportation linkages between Lodi and downtown Stockton. The City has also
encouraged nonprofit agencies to operate satellite offices within Lodi.
Another obstacle is the number of nonprofits that need assistance with basic management and fiscal
policies. New nonprofits have formed in Lodi and throughout the region, and they have small but
passionate staffs and volunteers devoted to a variety of issues. Unfortunately, most new nonprofits do
not have the capacity to meet the financial and reporting requirements of CDBG and other grant
programs, and may need basic assistance securing tax-exempt status, setting up bookkeeping systems,
and applying for grants.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
While Lodi has used a need -based strategy for selection of projects and activities, the greatest need has
historically been identified to be within the low-income Target Area. Specific attention will be focused
on one Census Tract within our Target Area (45.02) that was recently identified as a Racially
Concentrated Area of Poverty (RCAP) and an Economically Concentrated Area of Poverty (ECAP).

Target Area Percentage of Funds
�RC_APJECAP Census Tract (45.02) 30%
Table 10 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Areas of concentrated poverty generally have less private investment from financial institutions, grocery
stores and other retail outlets. With less competition, businesses like convenience marts and check
cashing companies are able to charge more for goods and services and low-income people end up
paying more for basic necessities.

Affordable Housing
AP -55 Affordable Housing — 91.220(g)
Introduction
Although the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan focus on affordable housing, the City's only HUD
funding source is CDBG, which limits the amount of funding that can be spent on affordable housing by
prohibiting new construction of housing. (Other HUD programs, such as HOME, are specifically targeted
to affordable housing.) The City's strategies related to CDBG-funded affordable housing efforts relate to
maintaining affordability for homeowners. Other funding sources are provided to support affordable
housing as available.

AP -60 Public Housing — 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin (HACSJ) is the public housing agency serving the City
of Lodi. HACSJ is independent of the City of Lodi, and the City retains no control over their funding or
implementation of programs.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
Please refer to the HACSJ Public Housing Authority Annual Plan for information on the ways that HACSJ
plans to address public housing needs.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
HACSJ encourages public housing residents to participate in policy, procedure, and program
implementation and development through its Resident Advisory Board. HACSJ also distributes a
newsletter to all residents, which contains relevant news, information on training and employment
opportunities, and other community resources available to public housing residents. Public housing
residents also participate in the development of the HACSJ's five-year and annual plans. The Resident
Services Division distributes a survey to prioritize resident needs and schedule short- and long-term
improvements.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
HACSJ is not designated as "troubled."
Discussion
A wealth of information on HACSJ and their programs, housing resources, budgets, and financial
planning and reporting is available on their website at www.HACSJ.org.

AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
The City's strategy related to the needs of the homeless, those at risk of homelessness, and other special
needs populations is focused on funding supportive services in Lodi.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City will remain involved in the County Emergency Food and Shelter Program Board and will
continue participation in monthly meetings with the local homeless outreach group, "A Hand Up" that
works directly with the unsheltered homeless population.
The City will also remain involved in the planning and execution of the County -wide Point -in -Time
Homeless Count that will take place in 2015 and 2017.
Additionally, the City is participating in a collaborative effort along with local service providers and faith -
based organizations to better coordinate the variety of activities and services that are targeted to the
homeless community.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City will maintain current levels of support in homeless transitional and permanent housing
programs.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City will attempt to create additional beds for chronically homeless persons through two primary
strategies:
(1) having the CoC apply for additional new Shelter Plus Care funding that will target the chronically
homeless, and
(2) increasing the number of beds for the chronically homeless by modifying existing Shelter Plus Care
programs that do not specifically target chronically homeless persons. This second strategy would be
achieved by providing chronically homeless persons with a priority when filling vacancies in non -
targeted Shelter Plus Care programs as they occur.
The City will work closely with the CoC toward meeting this goal.
DRAFT Annual Action Plan
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015)
39
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The City plans to pursue funding for Tenant -Based Rental Assistance Program in future years to ease the
cost -burden for the most impacted households in the extremely low-income and the very low-income
range and to continue to support service providers that serve that population.
Foster Care programs in San Joaquin County are overseen by the Human Services Agency. In California,
state law requires public foster care programs to provide an Independent Living Program and that a
transition plan be formulated for all youth preparing for emancipation. The City will continue to work
with the Human Services Agency and the CoC members directly impacted by discharges, toward
developing and implementing written protocols designed to codify current practices that prevent
persons leaving foster care directly to homelessness.
Discussion
The City does not administer the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Program, but
there is coordination and contact with the San Joaquin AIDS Foundation and the Continuum of Care that
administers those funds for the County.

AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction
The City identified public policy factors that are barriers to affordable housing in the process of drafting
its 2010-2016 Housing Element update. Notable barriers included:
• Land use controls. Zoning designations affect the availability of land suitable for multi -family
development.
• Residential development standards, which control the type, location, and density of residential
development in Lodi. Parking requirements, building setbacks, height limits, and open space
requirements are essential to ensuring that Lodi remains a safe and enjoyable place to live, but may
constrain the density at which land is developed.
• Design guidelines, which control the appearance of new development. The requirements of design
guidelines may slightly increase the cost of building new housing.
• Site improvement, development impact, and processing fees. These fees can add significant cost to
developing new housing. Developers must often pay for new roadway, sewer, water, and park facilities,
along with miscellaneous other fees. There are also costs associated with getting projects approved by
the City and other agencies.
• Permit and approval process. In addition to the cost of fees on new projects, the amount of time
required to process them varies by project, and the developer generally must pay holding costs, such as
property taxes, during this time.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
In 2015-16, the City will complete the process to review and update the Housing Element again, and
develop an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. Any barriers to affordable housing
identified through those documents will be addressed within the period of this Consolidated Plan.

AP -85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction
While there are several constraints to meeting the needs of low-income residents, the primary obstacle
is that there is a lack of funding to fully address all needs. The economic challenges facing the nation
have forced many nonprofits to cut services at a time when governmental entities and others are least
able to provide them. In response to the level of need, the City has maintained its commitment to
providing local funding to nonprofits; even though budget cuts have been required in a number of areas.
The City also supports nonprofits' efforts to raise private funds, in part through providing direct funding
and in-kind services to special events, including fundraisers.
Another obstacle to meeting underserved needs is that the location of many available services is in the
City of Stockton. Lodi works closely with the regional transit agencies to improve access, and there are
several daily public transportation linkages between Lodi and downtown Stockton. The City has also
encouraged nonprofit agencies to operate satellite offices within Lodi
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
In 2015-16, the City will support the following programs to address underserved needs:
• The Salvation Army's Tutoring and Mentoring Program that serves the low-income,
predominantly Hispanic population from the RCAP/ECAP area.
• San Joaquin Fair Housing's housing counseling services.
• Second Harvest Food Banks services to the needy families within the Target Area.
• Emergency Food Bank's Mobile Farmer's Market that serves the low-income, predominantly
Hispanic population from the RCAP/ECAP area.
• Lodi Gang Reduction Intervention Prevention (LodiGRIP) Program that serves predominantly
Hispanic youth and their families that are at -risk of gang influence and activities.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
In 2015-16, the City will offer the following programs to foster and maintain affordable housing:
• The City's HOME grants will provide first-time homebuyer assistance in the form of a
downpayment loan to an anticipated 3 households.
• The City is pursuing a partnership with Habitat for Humanity for an Acquisition and Rehab
Program that will allow at least 10 vacant and/or foreclosed properties to be purchased and
rehabilitated as affordable housing.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
In 2015-16, the City will offer the following programs to reduce lead-based paint hazards:
• The City will continue to provide lead-based paint testing as a component of its housing repair
and rehabilitation programs when required by HUD regulations. Given the age and condition of
Lodi's housing stock, there are a significant number of homes where lead-based paint testing is
needed.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
In 2015-16, the City will offer the following programs to reduce the number of poverty -level families:
• Lodi's goals include several that align with the goal of reducing poverty, including creating new
affordable housing, expanding housing and services for the homeless, creating new local jobs,
and providing social services. The City plans to fund specific activities that address each of these
goals during the Consolidated Plan timeframe. For 2015-16, the City will provide assistance to
first-time home buyers to acquire and rehabilitate affordable housing through a grant of State
HOME Program funding and through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
In 2015-16, the City will continue to support and assist the service providers within our jurisdiction and
to assess changes in needs on an on-going annual basis.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City will continue to participate in regional coordination of services through the Emergency Food
and Shelter Program Board and other networking opportunities.
