BACKGROUND INFORMATION In December 2018, the San Joaquin Continuum of Care

funds for its permanent supportive housing project. On
May 1, 2019, the City Council accepted the award.
Project Description:
The City's Harmony Homes project will create four units of permanent housing for homeless
individuals and families or those at risk of homelessness. This supportive housing will help at -
risk individuals/families move into long-term, affordable housing where they can continue their
progress toward stable and independent living.
The project will receive tenant referrals from local organizations including The Salvation Army,
Lodi House, and Women's Center Youth and Family Services, as well as the Housing Authority
of the County of San Joaquin (HACSJ). HACSJ will supply housing choice vouchers to tenants.
Volunteer supportive housing services will be available for tenants, and tenants will sign lease
agreements that include appropriate maintenance of each unit.
The City has partnered with HACSJ to manage the construction of this project. Also, at the time
of drafting this report, the City is in the process of finalizing a Purchase Agreement for the
purchase of land at 301 East Lodi Avenue. Once finalized, the City will grant the land for
development of the Harmony Homes project to the HACSJ, and HACSJ will develop, own, and
manage the Harmony Homes project, similar to its other housing properties.
FISCAL IMPACT: A combination of HEAP and other grant funds will fund this grant
agreement ($1,447,037).

shall be void and of no force or effect. A consent by the Grantor and the State to
one assignment shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
assignment.
(g) Modifications. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any manner
other than by an agreement in writing signed by both Parties; provided however,
if the State adds any conditions to the Subrecipient Agreement to ensure that the
goals of the HEAP Program are achieved as the State is permitted to do under the
Subrecipient Agreement, such conditions shall be immediately added to this
Agreement as soon as Grantor notifies Grantee of such change.
(h) Waivers. Waiver by the Grantor of a breach or default under this Agreement shall
not constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same
or any other provision of this Agreement.
(i) Conflicts. If any conflicts arise between the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Subrecipient Agreement, which is
expressly incorporated into this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the
Subrecipient Agreement shall control, except that the time frames in this
Agreement shall prevail over the time frames set forth in the Subrecipient
Agreement.
(j) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all documents incorporated herein
by reference, comprises the entire integrated understanding between the Parties
concerning the services described herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior
negotiations, agreements, and understandings regarding this matter, whether
written or oral. The documents incorporated by reference into this Agreement are
complementary; what is called for in one is binding as if called for in all.
