regulations. <br />ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY <br />Section 220 of the 1992 Housing and Community Development Act requires jurisdictions to <br />describe the goals, programs, and policies that will reduce the number of households with <br />incomes below the poverty level. One strategy for increasing household income is to improve <br />the employment potential of the working population. The Davis Street Family Resource Center, <br />which receives annual City CDBG funds, leads the San Leandro WORKS initiative, a multi- <br />faceted network of resources providing services to assist individuals to transition from welfare to <br />self-sufficiency. The Eligible CalWorks program assists those who live in San Leandro to <br />receive four weeks "soft skill" training for job readiness. <br />INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE <br />Public agencies, for-profit and non-profit private organizations all play a part in the provision of <br />affordable housing, social services, capital improvements and economic development. The City's <br />Housing Services Division has the primary responsibility for implementation of the Consolidated <br />Plan and the Housing Element. The Division works closely with the Redevelopment Agency <br />(Office of Business Development) in the implementation of housing projects and programs. <br />Non-profit agencies also provide social services to the community each year. <br />The Alameda County Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department is the lead <br />agency in the implementation of the HOME Consortium's Consolidated Plan. HCD also <br />administers the HOME Program for the HOME Consortium members, HUD homeless programs <br />(including the Continuum of Care Council), and the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program <br />for homeownership. The City and other cities in the County take part in each of the HCD <br />activities described above. <br />PUBLIC HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS AND RESIDENT INITIATIVES <br />San Leandro is under the jurisdiction of the Alameda County Housing Authority and has no <br />public housing. <br />PART IV. COORDINATION EFFORTS <br />The City of San Leandro will continue to coordinate available CDBG, HOME, Redevelopment <br />and General Funds to provide housing programs, public service assistance, capital improvements, <br />and economic development activities for eligible residents and neighborhoods in FY 2005-06. <br />Exhibit C displays the "Support of Applications by Other Entities Report." <br />Action Plan - FY2005-06 <br />City of San Leandro <br />Page 11 <br />
