BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A public hearing is required as part of the federal requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The 2014/15 CAPER (Exhibit A) describes the programs and activities accomplished during that program year, in which the City received $602,382 in federal CDBG funds. The public review and comment period for the CAPER document began September 1, 2015 and will end September 16, 2015. The reallocation of unused CDBG funds from projects and services from previous program years requires an amendment of the Annual Action Plan (Exhibit B). Upon the closeout of 2014/15 CDBG projects and services, three projects and one public service had funding that were identified as eligible for reallocation. The projects have been completed and had costs lower than anticipated; leaving small balances available for reallocation. The one public service was not able to use its entire allocation by June 30, 2015. The total amount available for reallocation is $32,279.80. The public review and comment period for this Action Plan amendment begins August 17, 2015 and will end September 16, 2015. The City Council will consider approval and adoption of both the 2014/15 CAPER and 2015/16 Action Plan amendment and provide an opportunity for public comment for all of those actions at the September 16, 2015 meeting.

Goals were met through program outcomes and by conducting program planning for future projects. The City's strategic plan identifies two priority areas and eight main goals. The two priorities are 1) building a healthy community and 2) expanding economic development activities. This year's activities resulted in meeting many of the established goals, including: 1) fostering fair/quality housing to residents of all income levels; 2) building capacity and leadership in marginalized communities; 3) improving access to social services; 4) improving accessibility; 5) constructing/upgrading public facilities; and 6) addressing slum, blight and nuisance conditions. Social Service Activities: More specifically, the City of Lodi allocated CDBG funds during the 2014-15 program year to multiple social service agencies to meet these priorities and goals; including Salvation Army, Second Harvest Food Bank, Emergency Food Bank of Stockton/San Joaquin, San Joaquin Fair Housing Association, and the LodiGRIP Program. • Using CDBG funds, sub -recipient Salvation Army provided tutoring and mentoring to 32 youth between the ages of 5 and 13. Existing after-school programs in Lodi are impacted and have long waiting lists. Thus, Salvation Army's program brings an added resource for Lodi youth. This program is designed to help enable students to reach their highest level of achievement and avoid risky behavioral activities, by collaborating with their teachers, parents, and schools. Additionally, this program not only serves as a valuable resource to children in local schools, but to the families that reside in Hope Harbor Shelter, a transitional and emergency shelter facility. • The Emergency Food Bank's Mobile Farmer's Market served 348 unduplicated Lodi residents during the project year. Many residents return each month to learn new recipes and obtain fresh produce. A total of over 39,000 pounds of food was distributed throughout the year in the Lodi alone. Also, sub -recipient Second Harvest Food Bank exceeded its program goal serving 1,265 residents. In total, over 104,000 lbs of supplemental groceries, including fresh fruits and vegetables, were provided to Lodi residents. • San Joaquin Fair Housing Association provided fair housing assistance to 160 residents, 33 of which resulted in open cases. San Joaquin Fair Housing Association ran daily ads in the real estate classified section of the local Lodi newspaper, and distributed flyers at Lodi's City Hall, Lodi Public Library, homeless shelters, and to code enforcement officers. 1IPage • During the last quarter of 2014-15, LodiGRIP staff assisted 12 at -risk youth and their families. The LodiGRIP Program's mission is to reduce serious youth violence by working directly with gang -involved or potentially gang -involved youth that are at high risk of violence, either as victims or perpetrators. A select group of 13 to 17 year old males were taken through a Juvenile Diversion Program (JDP) at Mule Creek State Prison. From participation in JDP, several of those at -risk youth have committed to step away from gang -related activities and to stop hanging with the gang crowd. Of those JDP participants, several have come together to create a peer mentorship program to assist LodiGRIP's efforts in turning youth away from at -risk behavior. This has also allowed the youth to develop leadership skills among their peers and adults. Public Facilities Activities: Also, using CDBG funds, the City of Lodi made public facility improvements, including American's with Disability Act (ADA) -compliant improvements, at various sites across the City. These improvements help make public services and cultural programs available to all of Lodi's population, including aging or disabled residents who need wheelchair accessibility. Hutchins Street Square is a collaborative entity that brings together music, theater, events, youth activities, senior care and a multitude of other services. The south entrance to Hutchins Street Square was missing adequate accessible parking spots and path of travel. This last year, the City constructed 10 new wheelchair accessible spots and a ramp so participants can better access the center. Similarly, the two public parking lots on Church Street which residents use to access the Lodi's main downtown area were fixed to allow wheel chair accessible parking spots and clear path of travel to the sidewalk. Five new spots were created. Hutchins Street Square also has a pool that is open to all residents, including seniors, children, adults and disabled individuals. Aquatic fitness classes include arthritis exercises, conditioning, cardio, swim lessons, lifeguard training, and private pool rentals. The City completed construction on a pool chair lift that now allows those who would otherwise be in a wheelchair to use the pool. Also, at the LOEL Senior Center, one of Lodi's primary service providers for low-income seniors, 23 new parking spaces with two new handicap spaces were added so that more neighborhood residents and seniors could access both the Community Garden and the LOEL Senior Center. The new spaces account for the center's growing demand by seniors who attend the numerous activities, programs, and events at the LOEL Senior Center. One of the City's other goals is to improve the condition of the City's housing stock and public facilities that benefit low-income residents. As such, this last year, the Housing Authority of San Joaquin County replaced all windows and sliding glass doors with dual pane and energy efficient ones in a six -unit affordable housing complex. These units are owned by the Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin but are unsubsidized. The Authority; however, offers them to renters at below market rates. As a result of these improvements, renters will have lower utility bills and may better be able to afford their rent. The City's Graffiti Abatement program has helped reduce blight by cleaning up tagged properties in targeted low-income areas. The City's program cleans up these sites within a day or two, or within the 21 Page same day in some instances, which benefits not only the property but prevents secondary tags. The program runs year-round. Graffiti abatement has helped preserve neighborhood property values and maintain housing stock in the City. During FY13-14, the City removed approximately 1,200 instances of graffiti in low -moderate income census areas. 31 Page Comparison of the proposed versus actual outcomes for each outcome measure submitted with the consolidated plan and explain, if applicable, why progress was not made toward meeting goals and objectives. 91.520(g) Goal Category Source Indicator Unit of Expected Actual — Percent Expected Actual— Percent & Measure — Strategic Complete 2014-15 2014-15 Complete Amount Strategic Plan Program Program Plan Year Year Public service activities Access to Non -Housing 7500 1700 CDBG: other than Persons 1805 1805 Social Community people 24% people 106% $ Low/Moderate Income Assisted people people Services Development (1) (2) Housing Benefit Access to Non -Housing Public service activities CDBG: Households Social Community for Low/Moderate 0 0 0 0 0 0 $ Assisted Services Development Income Housing Benefit Non -Housing Public service activities 90,000 18,000 Address Blight CDBG: Households 18,585 Community for Low/Moderate people 18,585 people and Nuisance $ Assisted 22% people 100% Development Income Housing Benefit (3) (4) Build Capacity Planning and Public service activities CDBG: Households and Capacity for Low/Moderate 100 0 $ Assisted 0.00% Leadership Building Income Housing Benefit Construct or Public Facility or Non -Housing Upgrade CDBG: Infrastructure Activities Households Community 100 1 1% 100 1 1% Public $ for Low/Moderate Assisted Development Facilities Income Housing Benefit CDBG: Expand Public service activities Economic $ / Households Financial for Low/Moderate 800 0 Development HOME: Assisted 0.00% Opportunities Income Housing Benefit $ 41 Page Goal Category Source Indicator Unit of Expected Actual — Percent Expected Actual— Percent & Measure — Strategic Complete 2014-15 2014-15 Complete Amount Strategic Plan Program Program Plan Year Year Public Facility or Non -Housing Infrastructure Activities Improve CDBG: Persons Community other than 1250 250 250 0 Accessibility $ Assisted 20% 0.00% Development Low/Moderate Income Housing Benefit CDBG: Preserve Affordable $ / Housing Code Household Existing Housing Section Enforcement/Foreclosed Housing 4 0 Affordable Public 108: $ / 0.00% Property Care Unit Housing Housing HOME: CDBG: $0/ Produce New Household Affordable Section Homeowner Housing Affordable Housing 4 0 Housing 108: $ / Added 0.00% Housing Unit HOME: CDBG: $0/ Produce New Household Affordable Section Homeowner Housing Affordable Housing 4 0 Housing 108: $ / Rehabilitated 0.00% Housing Unit HOME: 51 Page Goal Category Source Indicator Unit of Expected Actual — Percent Expected Actual— Percent & Measure — Strategic Complete 2014-15 2014-15 Complete Amount Strategic Plan Program Program Plan Year Year CDBG: $0/ Produce New Direct Financial Affordable Section Households Affordable Assistance to 4 0 6 0 Housing 108: $ / Assisted 0.00% 0.00% Housing Homebuyers HOME: CDBG: $ / Rehabilitate Household Affordable Section Homeowner Housing Existing Housing 12 0 6 0 0% Housing 108: $ / Rehabilitated 0.00% Housing Unit HOME: Public Facility or Secure Planning and CDBG: Infrastructure Activities Households Additional Capacity 250 0 $ for Low/Moderate Assisted 0.00% Funding Building Income Housing Benefit Table 1- Accomplishments — Program Year & Strategic Plan to Date (1) The strategic plan goal was incorrectly labeled as 500 households, because social services activities should be reported as people instead of households. Lodi has adjusted the table above to reflect the corrected goal of 7,500 people. Sub -recipients correctly tracked and reported on number of people served and those numbers have been incorporated. Lodi has confirmed this change with its HUD representative and will be working to make this change in IDIS as well as the Strategic Plan. (2) The annual action plan goal followed the incorrect labeling of the households, so Lodi also adjusted the table above to reflect actual reporting of 1,700 people. Sub -recipients correctly tracked and reported on number of people served and those numbers have been incorporated. Lodi has confirmed this change with its HUD representative and will be working to make this change in IDIS. 61 Page (3) The strategic plan goal was originally to serve 250 households; however, due to a review of regulations, Lodi understands that as an area benefit the total number of low-income people within the low -moderate income census tracts should be counted as being impacted by the abatement on both public and private property. As such, Lodi modified this number to better reflect the number of individuals. (4) The annual action plan goal followed the strategic plan and anticipated 100 households would be served. However, with this new understanding, this goal was updated to reflect accurate account of the number of low-income population within the low -moderate income census tracts. 71 Page Assess how the jurisdiction's use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan, giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified. The City's strategic plan identifies two priority areas and eight main goals. The two priorities are 1) building a healthy community and 2) expanding economic development activities. This year's activities resulted in meeting many of those eight goals. A list of each goal and the activity that supported each goal is outlined below: 1) fostering the development and preservation of fair and quality housing choices for residents of all income levels through the entire community; a. San Joaquin Fair Housing Association provides advocacy, resources, and information to residents for better access to quality housing regardless of income level. 2) expand financial opportunities for lower-income individuals and families; a. The City has developed a relationship with Small Business Development Center at San Joaquin Delta College to help 25 low-income individuals start/grow their business. The project is expected to begin in 2015-16. b. Salvation Army's mentoring and tutoring program gives kids an opportunity to excel at school for a better chance at higher levels of education and increasing skills for better job performance and opportunities. 3) building capacity and leadership in marginalized communities; a. The 2014-15 AAP did not identify a specific project to meet this goal; however, the City plans to research potential projects for meeting this goal in future program years. The following current projects contribute to this goal indirectly. L The Lodi GRIP program fosters youth leaders who work with their fellow students, parents, family members, and community members to create a positive environment and activities for youth. ii. The Salvation Army's mentoring program builds youth leaders. iii. The Emergency Food Banks's mobile food bank, conducts nutrition education at community centers, schools and resource centers. Families that participate in the program learn about healthy eating. Healthier residents are able to be more active in their community and take on roles of leadership. 4) improving access to social services; a. Second Harvest Food Bank provides residents with access to food resources and often partners with nonprofits to supplement their services with additional nutrition education and food. They exceeded their goal by adding a new partner organization that expanded their program resources and clientele. b. Emergency Food Bank's Mobile Farmers Market program exceeded its goal of providing health -food classes and healthy food alternatives to local residents. The Salvation Army and LodiGRIP programs met its program goals as well. c. San Joaquin Fair Housing served an estimated 699 household members and 160 individuals. Callers received information and referrals, and thirty-three resulted in new 81 Page cases. Of the 33 cases, one-third were seniors and approximately 18 percent were disabled. San Joaquin Fair Housing did not technically meet its goal of 736 individuals assisted; however, this was likely due to an error in their original goal which stated that 736 individuals, instead of household members, would be served. 5) improving accessibility; a. The City's accessibility projects are two-year projects. The City anticipates beginning phase two, which includes construction during program year 15-16. In addition, the following 2013-14 two year projects were completed during this last year. Because they are not part of the most recent Con Plan and Strategic Plan, they are not counted in the table above. L Hutchins Street Square South Entrance added new ADA accessible parking so to better access the community center. ii. Hutchins Street Square added a chair lift so disabled individuals can better access the pool. iii. Church Street Parking lot added new ADA accessible parking. 6) constructing or upgrading public facilities; a. LOEL Senior Center added additional parking spaces, including one new handicap accessible spot and one improved handicap accessible parking spot, so to increase participant's access to the community garden and senior center. b. Additionally, the City completed a 2013-14 project during the 2014-15 program year: Housing Authority of San Joaquin County improved the condition and energy efficiency of existing apartment complex by adding new windows and doors. 7) addressing slum, blight and nuisance conditions; a. Lodi's Graffiti Abatement program cleans up blight and also helps deter those from future offenses. This year's program met its goal. Also, the LodiGRIP program gives youth positive activities to engage in, in place of more destructive activities. This also helps, though indirectly, to reduce blight and nuisance conditions in the City. 8) produce new affordable housing/ rehabilitate existing housing; a. The City began initial program start-up activities, such as conducting outreach and collecting information on a potential program administrator and started initial research on program guidelines/requirements. These activities are still underway and the City plans to begin HOME program implementation during the next program year. 9) securing funding to implement these goals; a. While no specific activity was selected for this in this year's AAP, the City has actively been pursuing other funding opportunities and was successful in securing EPA funding for Brownfield Assessment activities. This will likely lead to additional EPA and HUD funding for Brownfield development that can help address many of aforementioned goals and priority needs. The City will continue to include this goal in a future CDBG years. 91 Page Summary: The City exceeded it goal in providing access to social services to 1700 low-income people. In part, this was due to the sub -recipient Second Harvest that added a new partner to their organization, thus being able to bring food to more residents. The City is on target for meeting its goal to reduce blight through its Graffiti Abatement program which benefitted more than 18,000 Lodi residents this last year. The remaining 2014-15 Annual Action Plan goals had a completion percentage of 0 percent due to those projects either being 2 -year projects that are in the initial planning phase: 1) Alley Drainage Improvements; 2) Hutchins Street Square North Entrance; or there have been major project revisions that have delayed the start, such as with the Lodi Library project. The City plans to begin construction on these projects during the 2015-16 program year. Additionally, the City completed/began construction on accessibility projects with funds from the 2013-14 program year during 2014-15, including the City Hall Annex, the Church Street Parking Lot; Hutchins Street Square Pool Chair Lift; and Hutchins Street Square South Entrance. The Housing Authority's Window Replacement project was also a 2013-14 project that was completed in 2014-15. 101 Page CR -10 - Racial and Ethnic Composition of Families Assisted Describe the families assisted (including the racial and ethnic status of families assisted). 91.520(a) Table 2 — Table of assistance to racial and ethnic populations by source of funds Narrative Lodi's CDBG programs serve residents of many races and ethnicities within Lodi. The racial and ethnic composition of CDBG programs are aligned with recent 2013 American Community Survey statistics for the whole community, with the exception of the Black and African American community. Eleven percent of CDBG programs clients were Black and African American residents, which represent 1.2 percent of the total population. This may be due to concentrations of minorities in low-income areas served by the majority of programs. As shown in Table 2, White, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian/American Native, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, have relatively similar percentages. CDBG program serves slightly fewer Whites and Asians compared to the regular population, while serving slightly more American Indian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. This may be due to fewer whites and Asians living in the low-income service areas. The areas served have high concentrations of Hispanics; however, the number of Hispanic residents served by CDBG programs is proportionally the same as the overall City population. In theory there should be a higher concentration of Hispanics served compared to the overall population. Reasons for this may include language, cultural, or other barriers that are deterring or preventing Hispanic families from receiving services. To overcome this, during 2014, the City connected sub -recipients with a local nonprofit California Human Development who has a history and current record of having connections with Spanish speaking residents in the community. Sub -recipients could then increase their market to the Hispanic community. Additionally, the City recommended opportunities for sub -recipients to attend local events that target Hispanic population for example, the Dia de los Campesinos festival and the Celebration on Central. 111 Page CDBG White 1342 Black or African American 191 Asian 95 American Indian or American Native 26 Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander 15 Total 1804 Hispanic 644 Not Hispanic 1160 Table 2 — Table of assistance to racial and ethnic populations by source of funds Narrative Lodi's CDBG programs serve residents of many races and ethnicities within Lodi.

The Salvation Army, for example, will be providing English- language tutoring to children whose first language is not English. Additionally, San Joaquin Fair Housing Association provides multi-lingual marketing, as well as, has Spanish-speaking staff to assist callers.

Census Tract 45.02 is identified as a Racially Concentrated Area of Poverty and an Economically Concentrated Area of Poverty (ECAP). To address the greater need for these residents, many of Lodi's activities were located in or served residents from this area: Lodi's graffiti abatement program; LOEL Senior Center parking improvements; Salvation Army's tutoring and mentoring program; Second Harvest Food Bank programs; and Emergency Food Bank's Mobile Farmer's Market program. Furthermore, the City also plans to establish a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area to address the racial/ethnic concentrations of poverties currently existing in certain areas of Lodi. 121 Page CR -15 - Resources and Investments 91.520(a) Identifv the resources made available Source of Funds Source Resources Made Available Amount Expended During Program Year CDBG Alley Drainage $602,382 $335,104.76 Other HOME 250,000 0 Table 3 — Resources Made Available Narrative During the 2014-15 program year, $219,981 was expended from the original $602,382 award for 2014- 15 projects. According to the City's signed contract with HUD, Lodi's 14-15 award was in the amount of $602,382, instead of the 602,302 originally generated in this table. Expenses that were spent from 2013- 14 projects during this last year were excluded from the table above. This table was automatically generated with the amount expended during program year at $211,996.67. The City has looked into the reason for this difference of $123,108.09, but perhaps it is because the latest expenditures from 2014- 15 program year have not fully been processed in HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). This is a breakdown of the expenditures by project: 14.10 Administration $120,460.00 14.11 Alley Drainage $0.00 14.12 HSS North Entrance $0.00 14.13 Salvation Army $20,000.00 14.14 Lodi Library Awning/Patio $0.00 14.15 Graffiti Abatement $32,371.20 14.16 Second Harvest $8,500.00 14.17 SJ Fair Housing $16,591.41 14.18 Emergency Food Bank $1,500.00 14.19 LOEL Phase III $126,003.35 14.20 Lodi GRIP $9,678.80 131 Page Identifv the geographic distribution and location of investments Target Area Planned Percentage of Allocation Actual Percentage of Allocation Narrative Description Census Tract 45.02 30% 56% Table 4 — Identify the geographic distribution and location of investments Narrative For the 2014-15 program year, Lodi anticipated that 30 percent of its CBDG funds would be reaching the targeted area - census tract 45.02. Additionally, as stated in the Strategic Plan, certain racially/ethnically concentrated areas of poverty were identified as having greater needs in the City. This area is generally referred to as Lodi's Eastside. Several of Lodi's sub -recipients provided services in or to residents living in the targeted census tract and Lodi's Eastside, including: Lodi's graffiti abatement program ($32,371.20); LOEL Senior Center parking improvements ($126,003.35); Salvation Army's tutoring and mentoring program ($20,000); Second Harvest Food Bank programs ($8,500); Emergency Food Bank's Mobile Farmer's Market program ($1,500), and LodiGRIP program ($9,678.80). This totals $198,053.40, which is 32% of the total $602,382 114-15 award, and 59% of the amount expended thus far. This amount is higher than the anticipated 30%. The actual amount anticipated after the capital improvement projects are completed, may result in a higher percentage. The remaining funds were targeted to the general population; however, because Lodi is a relatively smaller community and low-income populations are distributed through -out the City, the City believes that those activities outside the census tract or Eastside will still likely serve low-income populations. 141 Page Leveraging Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the needs identified in the plan. Many of Lodi's social service sub -recipients have additional resources to support their CDBG supported programs. These additional sources include not only other grant funds, but in-kind volunteers and donations. Additionally, San Joaquin Fair Housing has additional CDBG sources from other jurisdictions, like Stockton's CDBG funds. The LOEL Senior Center used 100 percent CDBG funds for its Phase 3 project completed this year. Completed projects for 2013-14 included the following leveraged resources, which totals almost $117,000 in leveraged funds: • 13.02 Church Parking Lot: 33% CDBG, 57% Lodi's General Fund, and 10% Lodi's Electric Utility Public Benefit Fund ($348,000 project total). • 13.10 Housing Authority Window Replacement: 10% Housing Authority funds; 90% CDBG ($19,995 total project). No publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction where used to address identified needs in the plan. 151 Page CR -20 - Affordable Housing 91.520(b) Evaluation of the jurisdiction's progress in providing affordable housing, including the number and types of families served, the number of extremely low-income, low-income, moderate -income, and middle-income persons served.

Lodi's Strategic Plan outlines the City's plans to assist in the development of affordable housing through first-time home buyer loans under the HOME program. In 2013, the City was awarded $700,000 in HOME funds. Due to market housing prices, most home purchase prices in Lodi exceed the maximum purchase price allowed by United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Thus, the program has not started nor resulted in any first-time home buyer loans. City staff is working to bring on a sub -recipient organization to manage the program and to help market it. With 2013-14 CDBG funds, the Housing Authority of San Joaquin County recently completed a weatherization project on six affordable housing units. Energy efficient windows and doors replaced older single pane and aluminum frame windows and sliders. As a result, these renters have lower utility costs, thus saving on their total housing costs. This project met the 2013-14 AAP goal of improvement six affordable units. 161 Page One -Year Goal Actual Number of households supported 0 0 through rental assistance Number of households supported 0 0 through the production of new units Number of households supported 6 0 through the rehab of existing units Number of households supported 6 0 through the acquisition of existing units Total Table 6 - Number of Households Supported Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.

This project met the 2013-14 AAP goal of improvement six affordable units. 161 Page As for affordable housing development, unfortunately, the City does not receive enough CDBG funds to acquire or construct affordable housing given its high cost (i.e. land, construction, permit fees, etc.). There are simply not enough funds available from the estimated $600,000 in yearly CDBG and City general funds to meet these and other needs in the community. Instead the City works to improve the public environment and ensure that all citizens have improved safe access. Additionally, the City plans to assist in economic development opportunities for low-income to make housing more affordable. The goal of six "households supported through the rehab of existing units" was anticipated to be a result of a new partnership with Habitat for Humanity. The organization discovered cost barriers to starting a project; however, the City and Habitat for Humanity will continue to work together to find alternative solutions. The City was awarded a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfield Assessment Grant for planning and clean-up of Brownfield sites. After completion, sites are more ready for development, and may lead to additional affordable housing development grants from the EPA. The City continues to look for additional funding sources, such as Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program, and community partnerships (i.e. Habitat for Humanity) to bring in additional funds for affordable housing. Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The City plans to address housing needs, but without significant additional resources, the City will continue to focus CDBG dollars where they will do the most good for the low and moderate households through better access to economic opportunities, services and public infrastructure. The City intends on funding a modest Housing Rehabilitation Program with CDBG funds at some point during the 2014-18 Consolidated Planning period. Moreover, Lodi's youth programs are focused on prevention for long-term impacts to low-income communities. The City will be pursing the creation of a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area in order to free up additional social service funds that could be used to assist low-income families with affordable housing. The City will continue to look for additional resources to support affordable housing.

As part of this committee, the City has been meeting with homeless agencies and other partners to discuss needs of the homeless community in Lodi. The Committee has been working to develop both short-term and long-term strategies to address homelessness within our community. As part of that effort, the City helped facilitate a Homeless Summit in April at which various organizations, many who provide homeless services, and the general public, gathered to share solutions and ideas. The City also attends monthly meetings with "A Hand Up" Homeless Outreach group with local homeless service providers and community volunteers. As a participant and member of these various committees, the City continues to stay aware of current issues facing the homeless community and the agencies providing services. For example, the City participated in the County -wide Point -in -Time Homeless Count in January 2015. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Residents of emergency shelters and transitional housing often need access to additional basic human needs, such as food and adequate nutrition. The City supports this need by consistently providing funds to Second Harvest Food Bank which provides bulk food goods to these shelter operators. One of the key points identified through the Committee on Homeless We-Mel^SS, Se-lutie-As GemmOtte e is the need for broad spectrum of housing types beyond emergency shelters, including supportive and transitional housing. This is also a subject to be addressed through the Housing Element and the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice that are currently being drafted. The City supports the Salvation Army to provide youth services for the homeless youth of their shelter program. 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 attempted to create additional beds for chronically homeless persons through two primary strategies: 1) having the Continuum of Care apply for additional new Shelter Plus Care funding that will 181 Page target the chronically homeless; and 2) modifying existing Shelter Plus Care program that does not specifically target chronically homeless, and instead make them a priority when filling vacancies in non - targeted Shelter Plus Care programs, as they occur. As for a new COC application, no new HUD funds have been available and switching to the existing funds from transitional to permanent housing programs would mean not being able to provide transitional housing to households with children. Now, when vacancies occur in the one Shelter Plus Care program that has beds not specifically designated for chronically homeless, priority has been given to filling those vacancies with chronically homeless households. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after 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); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs With reduced rent or subsidized rent, low-income individuals and families can avoid homeless during challenging life events. Low-income individuals and families often have minimal savings and may live month to month. Significant life events, such as health care costs, job loss (even temporary), increase in rent or other vital expense (food, utilities, etc.), can put them further behind financially and even result in homelessness. Furthermore, when individuals are being discharged from a mental health facility, corrections program/institution, foster care system, they similarly have experienced a loss of income during their stay and/or may have difficulty obtaining employment. To help reduce the cost of housing for these individuals and families, the City researched a grant opportunity for a Tenant -Based Rental Assistance program. The City found that it needs more experience to be competitive for this award. Alternatively, the City considered using CDBG funds to start a rental assistance program; however, due to the public service cap this would result in severe reduction of important social services currently funded. To address this, the City is considering other options such as possibly beginning a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area and partnering with others for more opportunities. Additionally, with 2013-14 CDBG funds, the City funded improvements to a six -unit apartment complex owned by the local housing authority. The new window and sliding glass doors improve insulation, reduce utilities, and decrease the tenants overall housing costs. Additionally, over the last several years, this complex has housed graduates of the Lodi House, a homeless shelter for women and children. The proximity to Lodi House has allowed for a stable environment for the women. Lastly, the City has been meeting with a local Keep Your Home California program to provide them contact information of employers that are anticipating employee lay-offs in Lodi. 191 Page CR -30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j) Actions taken to address the needs of public housing 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 its funding or implementation of programs. HACSJ has two public housing properties in Lodi. Using 2013-14 CDBG funds, HACSJ completed a weatherization project on one of the properties. This helps reduce the cost of housing for tenants. Actions taken 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 five-year and annual plans. The Resident Services Division distributes a survey to prioritize residents' needs and schedule short- and long- term improvements. Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs HACSH is not designated as "troubled." 201 Page CR -35 - Other Actions 91.220(j) -(k); 91.320(i) -(j) Actions taken 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. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i) In 2014-15, the City engaged in the following activities to foster and maintain affordable housing: • The City began the process to review and update the Housing Element, as well as 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. • The City took steps to begin implementing its HOME award by conducting research of housing prices, reviewing potential grant management agencies, and meeting with HCD to discuss program challenges. Once the program is operating, first-time home buyer loans will be provided to ten families. • 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. The City conducted initial meetings, and while obstacles such as housing costs have been uncovered, the City is working to find other options. Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) In 2014-15, the City supported the following programs to address underserved needs: • The Salvation Army's Tutoring and Mentoring Program served 32 low-income youth, predominantly Hispanic from the RCAP/ECAP area. • San Joaquin Fair Housing Association provided housing counseling services to 160 individuals, resulting in 33 cases. • Second Harvest Food Banks provided 348 needy families with food within the Target Area. • Emergency Food Bank provided 1,265 residents with nutrition class and health food to the Target Area. In addition, the City continues to assist Eden Housing with the efforts to secure funding for the development of an 80 -unit affordable, senior housing project on Tienda Drive. 211 Page Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) In 2014-15, the City will offer the following programs to reduce lead-based paint hazards: • All the City's capital improvement projects follow lead-based paint safety regulations and policies. Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty -level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) In 2014-15, the City offered 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 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 2014-15, the City provided assistance to at -risk youth in gang prevention, to homeless and/or low-income youth in the tutoring/mentoring program, to low-income families who need food assistance. Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City's CDBG-funded programs are administered by the City's Community Development Department, Neighborhood Services Division. This Division works collaboratively with the other departments/subdivisions, such as Planning, Code Enforcement, Public Works, and others. Also, the Neighborhood Services Division manager is a member and participant of many community committees, such as the Lodi Improvement Committee, Lodi ADA Committee/Citizen Advisory Panel, Committee on Homeless�^m^'^66, Se-luti^^s Gem.. **^ "A Hand Up", and the Federal Emergency Food and Shelter Program Board. Participation in these, help the City's CDBG program stay current and aware of the most pressing community needs, as well as, allows networking/problem solving with local/regional social service providers and to bring in additional resources to meet these needs. A significant gap in access to social services for Lodi residents is due to a lack of social services within the City. Many services are located outside of Lodi, usually in Stockton. The City's GrapeLine bus system connects to San Joaquin Regional Transit, which goes to Stockton. Residents; however, are often deterred by the cost, number of transfers, and length of trips. During 2014-15, the City has encouraged and is pursuing opportunities for out-of-town service providers to have satellite facilities/offices in Lodi. The Neighborhood Services Manager is also involved in the update of the City's Housing Element, particularly in the discussions surrounding multi -family and affordable housing, and review of existing HUD -funded housing programs and an evaluation of their effectiveness. 221 Page Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j) The City will continue to participate in regional coordination of services through the Emergency Food and Shelter Program Board and other networking opportunities. Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the jurisdictions analysis of impediments to fair housing choice. 91.520(a) Currently, the City funds the San Joaquin Fair Housing Association which provides phone and in-person fair housing counseling. Staff provides resources, information, and advocacy to Lodi residents who have experienced discrimination in housing and landlord tenant issues. Additionally, the City's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) is currently in draft form and will be finalized during 2015-16 program year. The City will include actions taken as recommended in the completed Al in the next CAPER. 231 Page CR -40 - Monitoring 91.220 and 91.230 Describe the standards and procedures used to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and used to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements The City's CDBG program is administered by two staff, the Neighborhood Services Division manager and a program specialist. Staff oversees reporting requirements, monitors the budget, conducts procurement activities, enforces labor compliance standards, and more. Staff is available to offer assistance and answer questions of sub -recipients, and is in at least quarterly communications with each sub -recipient regarding quarterly reports. The Neighborhood Services Division manager has been administering the CDBG program with the City for almost 20 years, bringing continuity and experience from previous years, and comprehensive implementation of the Consolidated Plan, Housing Element, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing and other planning documents. Also, the City's 2015-16 grant year funds activities for assisting low-income business owners develop their businesses. Citizen Participation Plan 91.105(d); 91.115(d) Describe the efforts to provide citizens with reasonable notice and an opportunity to comment on performance reports. The City provided a draft of this CAPER to the public for comment 15 -days prior to the City Council public hearing on September 16, 2015. The City posted and published a 30 -day public notice regarding the City Council hearing on the draft CAPER. One element of the effective communications that we strive for as a public agency is in the written documents that we prepare that identify how we went about soliciting public comment for use of the funding, what we have proposed to do with our grant funding and finally, what we have accomplished with the use of those funds. In May 2012, HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) introduced the eCon Planning Suite, which includes the template for the Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plan and this document, the CAPER. The eCon Planning Suite is designed to support grantees and the public to assess their needs and make strategic investment decisions by providing better data and tools and by creating a seamless planning and grants management framework. While this new system has lived up to its claim of providing better data for us to base our planning decisions on, the change in format has provided a challenge in getting the clear and concise documents that we have become accustomed to. Neighborhood Services Division staff has made it a priority to consult with HUD -CPD to identify these issues and to learn what we need to do to get it to provide the information correctly and in a format that is easily discernible to the public. 241 Page CR -45 - CDBG 91.520(c) Specify the nature of, and reasons for, any changes in the jurisdiction's program objectives and indications of how the jurisdiction would change its programs as a result of its experiences. The City does not plan on changing any of its Strategic Plan or Annual Action Plan program objectives. The City will continue to work on setting up activities that would meet program objectives related to affordable housing rehabilitation, rental assistance and/or first time homebuyer, and will monitor its progress on these. There are no other anticipated changes in program objectives. Does this Jurisdiction have any open Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI) grants?

INTRODUCTION The 2015-16 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 2015-16 Annual Action Plan was adopted on May 6, 2015, and approved by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development in July 2015. Upon the close out of 2014-15 CDBG projects and services, the City has identified three projects and one public service 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 one public service was not able to use their entire allocation by June 30, 2015. 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 $32,279.80.
