A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL ACCEPTING
GRANT FUNDING ($23,000) FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR A
WORKFORCE HOUSING REWARD PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City applied for and received a Workforce Housing Reward Program grant award
as part of the Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2002 (Proposition 46), which has the
goal of encouraging new housing affordable to low-income households and to reward local governments
for approving housing projects affordable to lower income households and the workforce; and
WHEREAS, these monies may be used for projects that involve the construction, rehabilitation
and/or acquisition of capital assets, and capital assets with expected life of fifteen (15) years; and
WHEREAS, in the application process, staff identified dwelling units for rent and for sale that met
the State's affordability thresholds for low-income households; and
WHEREAS, since the City had not approved any subsidized dwelling units fast year, staff
identified market rate affordable units that meet the State defined criteria for affordable, which was done
by using what the State predetermined to be reasonable rent or mortgage for a family of various sizes and
then determining which units fell within that range; and
WHEREAS, staff was able to identify 12 dwelling units ranging from one to three bedrooms that
fell within the category of either extremely, very low, or low income housing. Those affordable units
amounted to an incentive -based reward from the State Department of Housing and Community
Development in the amount of $23,000; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to receive the
grant funds from the State Department of Housing and Community Development in the amount of
$23,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize the City
Manager to receive the grant funding in the amount of $23,000 from the State Department of Housing and
Community Development in a form and manner determined by said agency.
