<br />Workforce Development Program designed to assist clients to become job ready to secure <br />employment and/or increase their current wages to become more self sufficient. DSFRC also <br />provides life skills training to teach clients how to budget and shop with limited resources and <br />fixed incomes. This program works with families in job preparation, including workshops that <br />focus on resume writing, interview skills, job-hunting tactics, and job placement. Many clients <br />are referred by Alameda County Social Services, and many are in crisis due to reaching their <br />time limits for benefits. In addition, DSFRC offers clients resources such as one-on-one <br />consultations to ascertain their skills, define career goals, and provide access to its dress-for- <br />success closet. <br /> <br />With CDBG funds, Building Futures with Women and Children (BFWC) also provided pre- <br />employment, life skills and housing assistance, as well as benefits advocacy to move clients into <br />self sufficiency. In FY2006-07, BFWC increased the level of self sufficiency for 86%, or 63 of <br />73 women who stayed 30 days or more, by one level or more in the following areas: housing, <br />employment/income, domestic violence, substance abuse, mental health, and/or physical health. <br />Sixty (60%), or 44 of the 73 women who stayed at the shelter 30 days or more, exited to long- <br />tem1 housing and/or employment. <br /> <br />Through its CDBG grant, Project Literacy's services help functionally illiterate people gain <br />literacy skills that they can apply in social, educational, employment, and community settings, <br />thereby increasing their independence and self sufficiency. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the <br />students (179) increased their independence and self-sufficiency as indicated by their <br />demonstration of new applications ofliteracy skills. <br /> <br />Ongoing preservation and monitoring of615 below-market rate rental units is also an anti- <br />poverty strategy, because the City maintains HUD rent limits for extremely low-, very low-, low- <br />and moderate-income people and for special populations like seniors and the disabled. The City <br />provided Redevelopment funds this year to DSFRC to recruit new tenants for available BMR <br />units and provide housing search assistance to prevent homelessness. <br /> <br />The City continues to seek opportunities to work with non-profit and for-profit developers to <br />build affordable rental and ownership housing. Presently, the City's Redevelopment Agency is <br />working with Mercy Housing Califomia to convert a formerly blighted motel (renamed Casa <br />Verde) into affordable permanent rental housing for very low- and extremely-low income <br />persons. As previously mentioned, the City also worked diligently with other non-profit <br />developers to develop affordable housing. <br /> <br />PART III: EVALUATION OF ANNUAL PERFORMANCE <br /> <br />The purpose of this section is to assess the City's progress in meeting the priority needs and <br />specific objectives identified in the Action Plan FY2006-07 that will make the City's vision of <br />the future become a reality. <br /> <br />San Leandro completed year two of its FY2005-2009 HUD Consolidated Plan. The need to <br />increase affordable housing, both rental and for sale, is one of the main goals of both the <br /> <br />Final Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report: FY2006-2007 <br />City of San Leandro <br />Page 24 <br />
