PART II. ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN INTRODUCTION This section of the Action Plan includes the programs and activities that the City of San Leandro will carry out to implement its FY2005-09 Housing and Community Development Strategic Plan, under the HUD Consolidated Plan, during the next fiscal year. Table 1: Summary of Objectives, "FY 2009-10 HUD Annual Action Plan: CDBG and HOME Funds," summarizes how and where the City recommends allocating its available CDBG and HOME funds to in order to implement the FY 2009-10 Action Plan. Exhibit A, "Proposed Projects," lists each project or activity which will receive CDBG funds in FY 2009-10. Exhibit B, "HUD Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program Application," is the City of San Leandro's HUD Section 1081oan application for the City's new senior center. Exhibit C, "Certifications," are various documentations that HUD mandates grantees to follow. This section also includes a description of how the City will ensure geographic distribution of its resources, the process by which assistance will be distributed in the case that an activity location is currently unknown (e.g., residential rehabilitation programs), activities benefiting homeless and other special needs populations, and other local or State programs being used to further the City's housing and community development goals. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Notices of a summary and the availability of the Draft FY 2009-10 Annual Action Plan for 30- day public comment was published in a locally circulated newspaper on February 2'7, 2009. The City Council held a public hearing on March 16, 2009 to receive initial public input on the Draft Annual Action Plan and to begin the 30-day comment from March 20 through April 20. The Draft Action Plan was available for public review and comment at City Hall (City Clerk's office and Housing Services Division), the Main Library, and the City website during the 30-day period. One public comment concerned the 7% reduction in public services funding and how other funding reductions, specifically in the City's Community Assistance Program (CAP), would be detrimental to the numerous non-profits serving the citizens of San Leandro. The Final Action Plan was approved at a City Council public hearing on Apri120, 2009. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION Most of the activities in the Action Plan meet the needs of the entire City. The income structure of the City is fairly diverse, with few low-income census tract areas. Potential sites that could possibly accommodate affordable housing and homeless facilities are identified in the City's Housing Element. The three (3) Redevelopment Project Areas within San Leandro are: the Plaza, the Joint Area, and the West San Leandro-MacArthur Boulevard. Final Action Plan - FY2009-10 City of San Leandro Page 9
