COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the 2023-2024
Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant Program
MEETING DATE: May 3, 2023
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving the 2023-2024 Annual Action
Plan for the Community Development Block Grant program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A Public Hearing is required as part of the federal requirements
under the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program.
Overview
The City of Lodi (City) receives an annual allocation of funds from HUD under the CDBG program.
For the 2023-2024 program year, staff estimates the City will receive $640,916 in CDBG entitlement
funds from HUD.
The primary purpose of this program is to improve the quality of life for low- and moderate -income
persons, households, and neighborhoods by supporting public services, public facilities, crime
prevention, and access for disabled persons, affordable housing, and economic development. The
City adopts a five-year Consolidated Plan, as required by HUD, which lays out how the City plans to
use the funds through strategies and goals that improve quality of life in Lodi and address community
needs.
Each year the City prepares an Annual Action Plan that identifies the services and projects to fund
that will meet these Consolidated Plan goals. As part of this planning process, the City gathers public
comment on community needs and recommended activities to meet those needs.
This 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan covers the final year of the five-year 2019-2023 Consolidated
Plan cycle. The updated Consolidated Plan is being prepared now, and will come to Council for
approval before the next Annual Action Plan cycle.
Annual Action Plan
HUD guidelines limit public services and administrative activities to 15 and 20 percent respectively
of the annual allocation amount.

The Annual Action Plan contains recommended funding allocations, which outline how the City will
allocate funds to projects for the 2023-2024 program year. Funding recommendations are grouped
into the following categories: Program Administration, City Capital projects, Community Based
Organization (CBO) Capital projects, City Service programs, and CBO Public Service programs.
Selected projects and allocation amounts were determined through an application process in
December 2022 and January 2023. Capital improvement applications that were received for the
2023-2024 program year were reviewed and scored by program staff. Public services applications
were reviewed and scored by the Lodi Improvement Committee and Staff. Lodi Improvement
Committee then voted on recommended allocations based on scoring and available funds.

Community Engagement
The process of developing the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan involved various instances of
community outreach and public involvement. Outreach included a workshop which focused on
prioritizing funding and community needs; consultations with local organizations and stakeholders;
a 30 -day public review period; and a public hearing to allow for public feedback on the draft 2023-
2024 Annual Action Plan.
Next Steps
Upon City Council approval of the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan, City staff will submit to HUD for
approval. The plan is due to HUD by May 15, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT: CDBG funds are federal funds. Capital improvements allow for
maintenance costs to be reduced. Administration costs are paid via a
20 percent set-aside of the grant funds or as activity delivery which
comes out of the capital project funds.

Introduction
The City of Lodi's (City) mission is to enhance the quality of life for all Lodi residents. Through the
implementation of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the City has been able to
further uphold and actualize this mission. The overall goal of the CDBG program is to develop viable
urban communities by providing decent and affordable housing, providing suitable living environments,
and expanding economic opportunities. This goal is realized by directing funds that are received from
the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to programs, policies, and goals that
primarily serve extremely low-, low-, and moderate -income persons.
To effectively direct and allocate the CDBG funds received by HUD in the most useful and efficient ways
possible, the City is required to create a five-year Consolidated Plan and subsequent Annual Action Plan
for submission to HUD. The 2023-24 Annual Action Plan serves as:
1. A planning document for the City of Lodi that is created through a community -oriented
participatory process.
2. An application for federal funds under HUD's CDBG formula grants programs.
3. A strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD programs.
4. An outline of specific projects, programs, and expectations to be undertaken during the 2023-24
program year.
Annual Action Plan Time Frame
The 2023-24 Annual Action Plan covers the time frame from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, which is the
length of one complete CDBG program year. All projects and programs funded during this period will be
expected to be completed by June 30, 2024.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
The goal of the 2023-24 Annual Action Plan is to provide a one-year plan that outlines the City's strategy
to implement its five-year strategic plan goals, as they are represented in the City's 2019-23
Consolidated Plan. The Annual Action Plan further identifies the activities and funding allocations for the
2023-24 program year, as well as the activities, projects, and accomplishments that are proposed to be
supported by the City's annual CDBG allocation. The CDBG program works to support affordable
housing, social services, and community development initiatives in the City, and lays out data -driven,
community-based investment decisions to facilitate the most sustainable and comprehensive future for
the City's housing, community, environmental, infrastructural, and economic progression. Through data
3
collection, outreach, and analysis presented in this plan, a clear outline of the 2023-24 program year is
formed.
This plan lays out specific projects that will be supported during the 2023-24 program year; details on
these projects and the needs and goals that they support can be found in section AP -35. The following is
a general list of projects and programs to be supported in the 2023-24 program year:
• Fair housing services
• Affordable housing rehabilitation
• Family and youth services
• Homeless services and prevention
• Graffiti abatement
• Meal and emergency food services for seniors and low-income individuals
• Capital improvements for nonprofit agencies that serve low-income households
3. Evaluation of past performance
The 2021-22 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) was submitted to HUD on
September 30, 2022. The Final 2021-22 CAPER is available on the City's website.
The City reviews each subrecipient's grant performance and financial documentation on a quarterly
basis, at minimum. At the time of drafting, the 2022-23 program year was in its third quarter. Service
providers have reported progress on meeting their activity goals. Subrecipients are selected for more in-
depth monitoring based on certain criteria. The City is in the progress of completing monitoring for the
2022-23 program year in accordance with its policies.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
The City of Lodi offered several opportunities for participation and comment through the Annual Action
Plan process:

stakeholder organizations.

7. Summary
The 2023-24 Annual Action Plan is a conglomeration of community participatory feedback, community
stakeholder involvement, consideration of citywide goals and policies, and City staff coordination and
communication with community entities and resources. The plan used each element to design the most
effective approach to the allocation of CDBG funds for the program year.
In the 2023 -24 -time frame, CDBG funds will focus on promoting safer neighborhoods, completing
infrastructure and facility improvements, supporting public service programs that benefit priority
populations, affirmatively furthering fair housing, and supporting programs and projects that reduce and
prevent homelessness.

AP -10 Consultation — 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(1)
1. Introduction
In preparing the Annual Action Plan, the City consulted and gathered information from a variety of
agencies, including service programs and local and regional community-based organizations.
The goal of the consultation process was to gather data to help determine any updates in the priority
needs of Lodi residents, as well as finding opportunities for coordination to improve the availability of
and access to services, housing, and quality of life within the community.
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))
The City coordinated with several public service providers and various other special needs service
organizations which operate on a local and regional scale. See Table 2 below for additional information.
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.
Building on years of coordination, both during this and previous Consolidated Plan cycles, the City
continues to support the San Joaquin Continuum of Care (CoQ with various efforts to end homelessness
in the County. Its main goals, as identified by the chair of the CoC, are aimed at prioritizing efforts that
actively move homeless households into permanent housing, provide actual shelter for the unsheltered
homeless, and prevent households from ending up on the streets or in shelters.
The San Joaquin CoC is a group of stakeholders and lead organizations in San Joaquin County that
receive and distribute funding for supportive homeless and housing services, with several agencies and
organizations receiving funding locally within Lodi. Members of the Lodi Committee on Homelessness
participate in CoC meetings and volunteer to assist in its homeless prevention and assistance
programs/projects. Additionally, these members assisted the CoC and County Board of Supervisors in
creating a new homeless services coordinator position.
The City has funded and assisted in the propagation of multiple programs and projects that provide
supportive services to homeless individuals, as well as funding programs that support those at risk of
being homeless. One of the City's most prominent resources in assessing and coordinating the needs of
homeless populations is the Lodi Committee on Homelessness, a community-based group made up of
local stakeholders and representatives of private and public institutions. The Committee on
Homelessness works closely with the community to organize local public meetings to address public
comments, discuss homeless issues, and find viable programs and solutions to problems facing
individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The Committee also coordinates with the
CoC to align the City of Lodi with current countywide goals and standards that address homelessness.
7
The City will continue to work with the Committee on Homelessness to reach the goals outlined by the
CoC, as well as addressing the priority needs of the City's homeless population.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
Although the City does not have a large enough population to receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
funds directly, the San Joaquin County Neighborhood Preservation Division administers several federal
grant programs that provide direct assistance to homeless and low-income individuals and families
throughout San Joaquin County. This includes several supportive housing programs and a Shelter Plus
Care program. The Shelter Plus Care program provides rental assistance to homeless individuals with
disabilities. Supportive housing programs provide rental assistance and supportive services to families
and individuals to assist them in making successful transitions from homelessness to independent living.
Funds for these programs are received through HUD's CoC Homeless Assistance Grant Application
process.
Additionally, members of both the Lodi Improvement Committee and the Lodi Committee on
Homelessness participated in the development of the CoC's 2022 Point -in -Time count. This report gives
accurate and relevant data on homeless characteristics, supportive housing services, and statistics that
help shape the future development of the County's services and its ability to address the needs of
homeless populations. The coordination of these two committees with the CoC is an essential
component of the City's ability to communicate with the CoC to better understand the prioritization of
supportive housing needs within the community, based upon the knowledge and data gathered by the
committees.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
Outreach is essential to the City's ability to create an accurate and effective plan, and to allocate
resources appropriately. First, the City reached out to practitioners, agencies, leaders, and organizations
that potentially had the specialized knowledge, experience, resources, and capacity to discuss needs,
opportunities, solutions, investments, and improvements to be made. Second, the City encouraged all
Lodi residents to weigh in on community needs and opportunities for improvements through various
opportunities described below (e.g., Lodi Improvement Committee community needs workshop, 30 -day
public review period, and the City Council public hearing).
Please refer to the table below and the Executive Summary for a list of citizen participation and

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 subrecipient
applications and project proposals submitted to the City for CDBG funding each year, match funds are
considered as a factor in determining recommended actions.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
The City's Public Works Department is continuing to complete alley improvements in the CDBG target
area. No other publicly owned land or property will be used to address the needs identified in this
Annual Action Plan.

Projects
AP -35 Projects — 91.220(d)
Introduction
The City will receive $640,916 for the 2023-24 CDBG program year. When funding projects through
CDBG, HUD guidelines limit the amount of money that the City can provide to certain categories of
projects; HUD classifies most projects as public service, administration, or capital funding. Under these
guidelines, the City may allocate up to 15 percent of the grant to public services, up to 20 percent for
planning and administration, and the remainder for capital funding, which includes housing, public
facilities, infrastructure, parks, and other miscellaneous improvement projects. Prior year funds can only
be used for capital projects.
The City generally reserves 60 percent of CDBG capital improvement funds for City -sponsored projects
and 40 percent for community-based organizations. The City -sponsored projects for 2023-24 are:
• 23 Graffiti Abatement Program — Public Facilities
• 23 Hale Park Renovation
The City received three applications from community-based organizations for capital improvements
totaling approximately $230,000. To delegate funds appropriately, each application was scored by City
staff according to set scoring criteria. Criteria included organizational capacity to successfully complete
projects in a timely manner, fiscal responsibility, viability to complete the project, past project
performance, CDBG funding eligibility, and how thoroughly the project would address community needs
identified through public outreach and in the 2019-23 Consolidated Plan. Two of the three community-
based capital improvement applications will be awarded funding along with two City projects.
Funding for the projects below was approved by City Council on Wednesday, May 3, 2023.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The City set multiple threshold criteria to both ensure that each project met the qualifications and criteria
necessary to be considered for CDBG funding, and that each project was an appropriate fit for the City's
priority needs. A community needs and NOFA workshop meeting was held in December 2022 to gather
input on priority needs and notify the community of available CDBG funding. Applications were scored by
City staff and members of the Lodi Improvement Committee in March 2023.
Applicant considerations and threshold criteria:
First, the project must be eligible for CDBG funding, be cost-effective in its outlined project goals and
implementation, and fit within CDBG objectives, including meeting one of the national objectives (i.e.,
benefiting low- and moderate -income persons, preventing or eliminating slums or blight, or addressing
certain urgent community needs).
Second, the project must address one of the community priorities set out in the Consolidated Plan; this
includes the project's ability to benefit the target beneficiaries identified in the Strategic Plan. The 2019-
23 Consolidated Plan's priorities were created with community input during its drafting in 2019, as well
as during the outreach that was conducted for its amendment in 2020. Each year, during the Annual Action
Plan drafting process, City goals are reassessed to ensure that they continue to reflect changing
community needs and priorities.
Third, the project must have the ability to be completed in a timely manner and be well-managed by the
organization. Assessment of timeliness and management capabilities were based on the applicant's past
track records with grant management, and their proven ability to handle the extensive program
management criteria involved with the administration of CDBG funds. Additionally, for the projects
proposed by community-based organizations, the City considered the applicants' scores using an
application questionnaire and scoring tool (see Attachment A -no attachments provided with this draft).
The requests from applicants for CDBG funding far exceeded the funds available under the City's annual
allocation. Due to this abundance in fund requests, not all proposed projects were recommended for
funding by staff. City staff assigned funding recommendations based on the applications that ranked with
the highest scores, the applicant's ability to implement the project with reduced funding, the overall
necessity and transparency of the organization and their associated projects, and most importantly the
project's importance in relation to the community development goals outlined in the five-year
Consolidated Plan.
Obstacles
Resources offered by government programs and projects are often able to keep families financially
stable, and for many, these programs are essential to their well-being and continued livelihood. CDBG
funds are important for bringing added resources to individuals with low to moderate incomes,
26
providing needed safety -net programs, and initiating and maintaining long-term anti -poverty projects.
According to the 2015 Public Policy Institute of California report, 8.2 percent of Californians (3.1 million
people) are estimated to be kept out of poverty due to the combined contributions from CalFresh (i.e.,
food stamps), CalWORKs (i.e., cash assistance to families with children), federal Earned Income Tax
Credit and Child Tax Credit, Supplemental Security Income, federal housing subsidies, Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, and free or low-cost school meals. CDBG funds
often complement these services by filling in service areas such as mental health, employment training
and development, fair housing and affordable housing, and any additional programs that are identified
within a community's priority needs to assist low-income or marginalized demographics.
The primary obstacle facing the City of Lodi is the lack of resources—particularly funding—that are
necessary to address the spectrum of needs identified in the community. That is why the City makes
great efforts to stay connected with local nonprofits and social service agencies, regularly examines
funding sources and other resources for opportunities to build community capacity, and looks for gaps
in needed essential services, while also looking for opportunities to implement long-term anti -poverty
solutions.
A second obstacle to meeting underserved needs is that many available services are not immediately
accessible, but rather located in Stockton, approximately 15 miles away. The City of 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 and mobile offices in Lodi. The City provided CDBG funding to one local service
provider, the Community Partnership for Families of San Joaquin, to assist with its move to a vacant
office space in a City building, where the organization operates its Family Resource Center.
A third obstacle is the number of nonprofits that need assistance with program management and fiscal
policies. New nonprofits continue to form in Lodi and throughout the region, and most have few, yet
passionate, staff members 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 they may need basic technical assistance securing tax-exempt status, setting up
bookkeeping systems, and applying for grants.

AP -50 Geographic Distribution — 91.220(f)
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 needs -based strategy for the selection of projects and activities in multiple areas
of the City, the greatest need has historically been identified within the City's low-income CDBG target
area. This area consists of census tracts in which more than 50 percent of the population is low to
moderate income. The area primarily covers what is known as Lodi's Eastside or Heritage District. To
illustrate the CDBG target area to the public, the City created a map representing this area for the 2019-
23 Consolidated Plan (Attachment B -no attachments provided with this draft).
When possible, specific attention will be focused on one census tract (45.02) within the target area,
which was identified as a Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Area of Poverty (R/ECAP). The Hale Park
Renovation is located in this census tract and will replace existing fencing and reservice court with new
acrylic sports court surfacing.
This year's proposed social service projects aim to serve at least 70 percent low- to moderate -income
persons. Most social service organizations offer their services citywide. Due to Lodi's concentrated low -
and moderate -income area, it is believed that the majority of recipients reside in the CDBG target area;
however, for purposes of this calculation, the projects are considered citywide activities and are not
included in the CDBG target area below.

Table 10 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Areas of concentrated poverty generally have less private investment from financial institutions and less
capital investment for beautification and construction initiatives. This generally results in the need for
more assistance with projects that are intended to improve capital features in low-income areas. The
capital improvement projects that will take place in the CDBG target area (i.e., funding Graffiti
Abatement and the renovation of park facilities) are intended to mitigate the lack of investment for
improvements to low-income areas.
As mentioned earlier, the citywide activities often benefit those individuals living in the City's identified
CDBG target areas. There are often fewer basic services and retail outlets in areas of concentrated
poverty, such as grocery stores, shopping centers, and commonly needed resources. 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. Funding
activities that assist low-income individuals helps to offset the cost burden that many might face in
36
these neighborhoods.

Affordable Housing
AP -55 Affordable Housing — 91.220(g)
Introduction
The City has prioritized supporting projects and programs that address affordable housing in the 2019-
23 Consolidated Plan. This prioritization is an effort to capture HUD's initiative for implementing
affordable housing programs, while also providing realistic and crucial support to individuals and
families who struggle to maintain housing due to various cost burdens and financial disadvantages.
In addition, the City has made multiple efforts to implement strategic actions to address the need for
affordable housing in the City. Actions have included applying for alternative grants, such as California's
Permanent Local Housing Allocation, Homeless Emergency Aid Program, HOME, or Section 108, to bring
in additional funds that could cover a wider array of costs than CDBG funds alone.
Low-income Lodi residents often face overcrowding, overpayment, and dilapidated living conditions.
Additional affordable housing choices would benefit these residents by giving them alternatives to
degraded and financially draining living conditions. For the 2023-24 program year, the City is funding the
rehabilitation of 40 affordable housing units for seniors through the Delta Community Developers Corp.
This activity will maintain affordability of these units into the future.

Discussion
The City plans to address housing needs and will continue to focus CDBG dollars where they will do the
most for low- and moderate -income households through better access to economic opportunities,
services, and public infrastructure. Additionally, the City looks for alternative ways to support affordable
housing, such as helping preserve existing affordable housing through rehabilitation projects and renter's
assistance programs and creating transitional housing units for individuals in emergency or transitional
circumstances. Moreover, the City continues to seek additional grant resources outside of CDBG dollars,
38
to develop various affordable, transitional, and supportive housing types.
The City will continue to support resident leadership through the ABCD: Love Your Block mini -grant
program, which has a ripple effect when residents become neighborhood leaders and conduct mini -
improvement projects that help improve health and safety of their community.

AP -60 Public Housing — 91.220(h)
Introduction
The Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin (HACSJ) continues to be 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.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
Please refer to the HACSJ website (http://www.hacs*.org/—hacs*747/resources/agency-plans/ ) for
information on how 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 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 designated as a "High Performer."
Discussion
A wealth of information on HACSJ and its programs, housing resources, budgets, and financial planning
and reporting is available at www.hacs*.org.

AP -65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
According to the 2022 Point -in -Time Count and survey of homeless persons performed by San Joaquin
County, Lodi has approximately 208 unsheltered homeless persons, which makes up approximately 15
percent of the countywide total of 1,354 unsheltered individuals. In the 2019 Point -in -Time Count, it was
reported that approximately 139 unsheltered homeless individuals resided in Lodi. The 50% increase in
Lodi's unsheltered homeless population creates an urgent need that should be addressed.
Projects and programs that address the issue of homelessness in the City were identified as the highest
priorities by the community during the outreach conducted for this Annual Action Plan, as well as for the
2019-23 Consolidated Plan. Specifically, outreach indicated that the biggest needs for homeless
individuals include transitional, supportive, and permanent housing units as well as support for mental
health service programs and programs to prevent homelessness.
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
In the 2023-24 program year, the City plans to support multiple projects and programs that work toward
assisting homeless populations. The City is collaborating with the San Joaquin CoC to address the
increase in homelessness by supporting liaisons and committees that specifically address homelessness
and funding a wide variety of programs that support social services that work to mitigate financial
instability.
The City works with the Lodi Committee on Homelessness to assess and coordinate the needs of the
homeless population. A community-based group made up of stakeholders and private and public
institutions, the Committee on Homelessness works in coordination with the CoC to align the City of
Lodi with countywide goals that address homelessness. Members of the Lodi Committee on
Homelessness participate in CoC meetings and volunteer in its homeless prevention and assistance
programs. The City will continue to work with the Committee on Homelessness to reach the goals
outlined by the CoC and address the priority needs of the City's homeless population.
The City is currently working with the CoC in the planning and execution of the 2024 countywide Point -
in -Time Count. The information to be released in this report will help shape the future development of
County programs that are directed toward new and viable homeless social services and housing
priorities.
The City values its relationships with homeless service providers and reaches out to those providers for
input on needs surrounding homeless services and priorities, as well as community efforts to address
homelessness. Many of the homeless service providers also attend City Council meetings to offer their
feedback on the homeless issues.
41
The City is collaborating with the CoC, local service providers, and faith -based organizations to better
coordinate the variety of activities and services that are targeted to the homeless community. This
coordinated effort required some groups to relinquish or modify current programs to make Lodi's
overall approach more effective. For example, several churches have organized their daily breakfast and
lunch programs for the homeless so that they rotate and use The Salvation Army's facility instead of
using various parks and sites.
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual
needs
The City will continue the following efforts:
• The City will remain involved in the County Emergency Food and Shelter Program Board, as well
as the Lodi Committee on Homelessness, which is coordinated through the Lodi Community
Foundation and includes key City staff as well as representatives from local faith -based and
community-based organizations and the general public.
• The City created a Homeless Liaison Officer position in the Lodi Police Department. The Homeless
Liaison Officer works directly with the local unsheltered homeless population to offer assistance,
connect them with available services, and find placement in shelters and more permanent
housing.
• The City supported the Board of Supervisors in its creation of a lead position at the County level
and the County now has a Program Administrator for homeless services. This position is intended
to bring new homeless and affordable housing resources to the County, increase coordination
among local jurisdictions, and help coordinate the Point -in -Time counts for the County.
• Through the Lodi Committee on Homelessness, the City continues to work with local service
providers to expand the reach and resources that they offer. This committee serves as a
community resource for local stakeholders and community members to come together once a
month with the primary purpose of discussing homeless characteristics and planning for future
initiatives to combat homelessness.
• SJFH will be supported by the City to educate individuals and families on their housing rights and
homeless prevention.
• The City opened a temporary emergency shelter on July 22, 2022 that has the capacity to house
up to 49 individuals overnight and sees approximately 80 clients on a daily basis. Wraparound
services including, food, clothing, hygiene facilities, referrals to behavioral health/substance use
treatment, life coaching, housing and income navigation, laundry, and medical.
• The City is working to complete development of the permanent Access Center and Emergency
Shelter that will have the capacity to house up to its 2022 Point -in -Time Count of 208.
• The City created an Outreach Coordinator/Director positing in collaboration with the temporary
emergency shelter operator and they outreach to the unsheltered community in Lodi to ensure
they have access resources.
42
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
In the 2020-2021, 2021-22 and 2022-23 program years the City provided CDBG funds to support The
Salvation Army's Hope Harbor Shelter program operations. The City also funded The Salvation Army's
steam table replacement, HVAC replacement, and Lodi House's refrigerator replacement. These projects
focused on replacing equipment necessary to allow for the continued provision of emergency food
services and overnight services to homeless persons. The City will continue to support homeless service
providers by providing funds to support internal operations and capital improvements. In
The Homeless Liaison Officer position, created in 2017 to serve as a coordinator between homeless
populations and the social services, continues to help homeless persons reconnect with family and
friends, obtain shelter and health services, and align with housing programs that set them up for future
permanent housing.
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 use several strategies to assist chronically homeless persons. The following actions are
planned:
• The City will continue to support Second Harvest Food Bank, which provides food to many
local Lodi service providers that then pass this food along to individuals and families who are
homeless or at risk of homelessness. Healthy food contributes to better health and can reduce
financial stress due to medical costs, which can be a factor in homelessness.
• Similarly, the City supports the LOEL Center and The Salvation Army, which provide food to
extremely low- and very low-income residents across the city. Food provision can help some
residents save funds to use on other necessities, such as health and housing.
• The City will continue to support the CoC's efforts to push for unified policies and strategies
to address homelessness in San Joaquin County. Recent actions undertaken by the CoC have
revolved around the allocation of funding sources for the following: (1) permanent supportive
housing, such as rental assistance or funds for construction of new units; (2) rapid rehousing
rental assistance for families with children; (3) low -barrier shelters that accept individuals
regardless of sobriety, age, gender, etc.; (4) homelessness prevention, such as rental and
utility assistance to supply financial support for other needed activities; (5) and the
propagation of outreach and the provision of resources. Additionally, the CoC continues to
promote strategies and policies that local jurisdictions will adopt as part of a unified local
effort to address homelessness.
43
• The City, Police Department, and Committee on Homelessness created the Homeless Liaison
Officer position based on research that one-on-one assistance to homeless individuals where
they live would be helpful in getting them the resources they need. This position was created
in 2017; since that time, several volunteershave joined efforts to assist the liaison officer with
his outreach and duties.
• The City will support CPFSJ's Family Resource Center to provide family and youth
comprehensive services.
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 supports CPFSJ's youth programs, which promote the mental, emotional, social, and
educational well-being of Lodi's youth. In turn, these programs help young people make positive choices
about their future, including efforts at school and with career opportunities. Some of the program's
participants come from families that have experienced multigenerational poverty, and this program
contributes to ending that cycle by introducing resources that create more opportunities for the
participant.
The City's LodiGRIP program assists youth who are at risk of joining or are associated with local gangs.
Every other month, LodiGRIP's youth attend an event at a nearby correctional facility where current
inmate mentors tell the youth about their own experiences with gangs and warn the youths about the
negative consequences of gang activity. Many participants in this program have chosen either to not
enter gangs or to separate themselves from gang involvement as a result of this program. The inmates
benefit from the program as well by feeling like they have made a difference for the participants and are
able to contribute to the community in a positive way.
The City supports Second Harvest Food Bank, which gives food to families teetering on the edge of
homelessness. Additionally, some of Lodi's seniors are on limited incomes and face medical care
expenses. To assist these residents in avoiding becoming homeless due to cost burdens associated with
aging, the City provides CDBG funding to the LOEL Center to support the center's Meals on Wheels
Program. The program delivers hot and cold meals that are also tailored to the particular nutritional and
dietary needs of elderly residents. Meals are delivered directly to seniors, who are also screened for
various other needs.
Lastly, 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
44
formulate transition plans for all youth preparing for emancipation. The City will continue to work with
the Human Services Agency and the CoC members to assist youth exiting the foster care system.

AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Lodi's updated Housing Element (2015-23) and its Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing both
thoroughly explore barriers to affordable housing, which are further discussed below.
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.
All communities work to make policies that promote a desirable place to live. Development reviews and
zoning codes are applied to new housing projects of varying sizes to ensure quality over time. The City of
Lodi's review process is dependent on the entitlement being requested. Atypical housing development
can require tentative and final map approval, a lengthy environmental review, public input, Planning
Commission (public hearings), and possibly City Council review. This process can often take between six
and twelve months. If they are larger single-family or multifamily developments, they can be required to
go through a Site Plan and Architecture Review Committee process before approval. The development
process can be less strict for single -site, smaller developments of multifamily or single-family
development, which may only require building permits and planning check for consistency.
Additionally, the City adopted the State mandated Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) guidelines in our ADU
ordinance (Code Section 17.36.130) and the SB9 mandates (Code Section 17.36.160) both of which were
designed to help lower income residence find suitable housing. They are also both Administrative level
reviews which streamlines the overall process and no additional Committee or Commission approvals
are required.
The City's 2015-23 Housing Element analyzes barriers to affordable housing. Relevant summaries are
below; please see the Housing Element for a full analysis.
General Plan Designations and Permitted Densities
The Land Use Element was updated as part of the comprehensive General Plan update in 2010. The
element sets forth the City's development policies. Medium- and high-density residential and mixed-use
designations all allow multifamily housing by right. The range of districts that permit residential
development and the densities they offer (2-35 units per acre) allow for a variety of housing types and
therefore do not serve as a constraint to housing development.
Smart Growth and Transit -Oriented Development
Both the General Plan, adopted in April 2010, and the Transit -Oriented Design Guidelines for Downtown
prioritize locations for high-density development.
46
Zoning Standards and Permitted Housing Types
The existing Development Code regulates the type, location, density, and scale of residential
development and exists to protect and promote the health, safety, and general welfare of residents. The
development standards in the City's Development Code are consistent with other cities of Lodi's size
and character and present no barriers.
Development Standards
The City's development standards do not impose a constraint to achieving maximum residential
densities and are reasonably related to neighborhood quality goals and protecting the health and safety
of residents. Development standards include yards and setbacks, building coverage, lot size and lot area
per dwelling unit, building height, parking standards, and design guidelines.
Growth Management Allocation
The City's 2016 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice discusses barriers to access adequate
and affordable housing. Relevant summaries are below; please see the Analysis of Impediments for a full
analysis.
1. Impediment: Lack of sufficient subsidized and unsubsidized affordable housing supply,
particularly for low-income special needs households and persons with disabilities.
2. Impediment: Lack of affordable units suitable for large families, resulting in a concentration of
Hispanic households in adjoining low-income census tracts, and disproportionately impacting
Hispanic households and households with large families.
3. Impediment: Lack of available rental housing subsidy for lower-income households.
4. Impediment: Lack of new or recently built multifamily units, resulting in insufficient suitable
housing stock for large families, single -parent households with additional need for housing
support, and persons with disabilities with accessibility needs, and disproportionately impacting
Hispanic family households, single -parent families, and persons with disabilities.
5. Impediment: Different origination and denial rates based on neighborhood.
6. Impediment: Lack of knowledge about the requirements of mortgage lenders and the mortgage
lending/home purchase process, particularly among lower-income and minority households.
7. Impediment: Lack of information on the nature and basis of housing discrimination and the
resources available to seek assistance.
S. Impediment: Concentration of lower-income households and minority households in less
desirable neighborhoods.
9. Impediment: Growth Management Allocation Ordinance.
47
Overall, the Growth Management Allocation Ordinance does not present a substantial constraint to
development during the 2015-23 planning period. The amount of allocations is adequate to meet
housing demand.
Discussion:
As outlined in the City's updated Housing Element (2015-23), the City intends to implement the
following programs to promote adequate housing in Lodi:

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 a lack of funding to fully address all needs. Another obstacle to meeting underserved needs is that
many available services are not immediately accessible, but rather located in Stockton, 15 miles away.
The City of 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 in Lodi. For example, CPFSJ, a CDBG subrecipient and
family resources nonprofit, has opened a Lodi branch.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
In the 2023-24 program year, the City will support the following programs to address underserved
needs:
• 23 CPFSJ — Family Resource Center
• 23 Second Harvest of the Greater Valley— Food Assistance
• 23 LOEL Senior Center — Meals on Wheels
• 23 PREVAIL—Youth and Family Services Outreach and Homeless Prevention
• 23 The Salvation Army — Shelter Operations
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City is funding the rehabilitation of an affordable 40 -unit age -restricted multifamily development in
order to maintain its affordability into the future. Additionally, SJFH will continue to be supported by the
City to educate individuals and families on their housing rights and homeless prevention; services are
provided to the community free of charge. SJFH ensures equal access to safe affordable housing and
works to prevent housing discrimination. Services include education on tenant/landlord rights and
responsibilities, mediation in housing disputes, training for tenant screening, rental agreements, proper
notices and compliance with landlord/tenant laws, training for tenants including how to locate rentals,
proper notices to landlords, rental unit repairs, and tenant obligations.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
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, lead-based paint testing is needed in a significant number of homes.
• Lodi has lead-based paint hazards flyers and information at City Hall for those seeking more
information or for those who might be affected.
52
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
Several City goals align with the goal of reducing poverty, including 1) Affirmatively Furthering Fair
Housing, 4) Increase and Maintain Supply of Affordable Housing, and 6) Support Public Service Programs
for Priority Populations. The City plans to fund specific activities that address each of these goals during
the Consolidated Plan time frame.
The City is working to implement multiple projects to reduce the number of families at the poverty level:
• The City will coordinate with various organizations to allocate CDBG funds that aim to support
priority populations. In the 2023-24 program year, the City will support the following activities:
0 23 SJFH — Fair Housing Services
0 23 CPFSJ — Family Resource Center
0 23 Second Harvest of the Greater Valley — Food Assistance
0 23 LOEL Senior Center — Meals on Wheels
0 23 PREVAIL—Youth and Family Services Outreach and Homeless Prevention
0 23 The Salvation Army — Shelter Operations
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
In the 2023-24 program year, the City will continue to support and assist the service providers, as listed
in AP -38, and to assess changes in needs on an ongoing 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.
