Common reasons for delays and allocation changes
include:
Changes in staff capacity
Changes to Scope of Work
Weather and other environmental factors
Other outside factors (COVID-19; Fires; Availability of

City of Lodi –Graffiti Cleanup
Graffiti Abatement Program
Implemented by the Public Works Department,
cleaned 1,492 graffiti sites.
Approximately 18 less than last year; showing a
slight decline.
Community Partnership for
Families
Served 151 youth and
families in the City of Lodi.
Youth received one-on-one
services and mentoring.
Additionally, CPFSJ’s Family
Resource Center provided
service integration to youth
participants with limited
English language skills and
work experience.
Community Human Development-
Immigration Expansion Program
This project provided
immigration and
consultation services to
low-income minorities in
Lodi.
The project served 101
individuals; COVID-19
reduced their ability to
serve clients.
In September 2019, CHD
held a Citizenship Day
event which celebrated
individuals in the
community that had made
progress in their pathway
to U.S. citizenship.
Second Harvest Food Bank
Provided direct food
assistance to 2,795
persons this year totaling
approximately 550,873
pounds of food.
This included groceries to
youth who participate in
Boys and Girls Club;
supplemental groceries for
seniors at the Lodi
Community Center; and
fresh food to low-income
families.
LOEL Center:
Meals on Wheels
The LOEL Senior Center’s
Meals on Wheels Program
provided hot and
nutritious tailored meals
to 95 homebound seniors
five days a week in the
2019-20 program year.
Daily check-ins also
helped to provide senior
participants with much
needed socialization.
Salvation Army-Hope Harbor
Shelter Operations Support
This project provided
shelter, case
management, showers,
clothing, and various
other needs such as
haircuts, medical
assistance, and navigation
for other services.
A total of 976 individuals
were served throughout
the program year.
San Joaquin Fair Housing
SJ Fair Housing offered education, counseling, and mediation
services to 538 households in SJ County to reduce the load
on local code enforcement agencies and eliminate housing
discrimination.
Additionally, San Joaquin Fair Housing hosted one
Tenant/Landlord workshop and participated in two Lodi
community events.
Due to the pandemic restrictions, San Joaquin Fair Housing
was unable to hold their second scheduled Tenant/Landlord
workshop, which resulted in left over funds from their 2019-
20 allocation.
California Rural Legal
Assistance
CRLA conducted fair housing testing at six rental
sites and three on-site surveys.
Selected sites were tested for discrimination based
on the following protected classes: sex, national
origin, disability, and familial status.
Two tests identified that a Hispanic tester was
provided with slightly different rental rates than
the control tester.
California Rural Legal
Assistance
Due to restrictions resulting from COVID-19 and
shelter-in-place orders, CRLA did not conduct
follow-up Fair Housing outreach for the two
positive tests.
However, CRLA exceeded the number of tests
required for the program year and successfully
surveyed two housing complexes within Lodi and
completed important fair housing outreach at
housing complexes and community events.
