Housing <br />Housing related activities will be coordinated between various City divisions, including <br />Redevelopment, Planning and CDBG. The City will also coordinate with Alameda County, <br />County HOME Consortium member cities and non-profit agencies to address housing needs. <br />The Alameda County HOME Consortium approved several performance measures for its <br />member cities to use for any future HOME-funded projects based on HUD examples. HUD does <br />not require, but has encouraged, communities to apply performance measures to their <br />Consolidated Plan approved activities and projects. For non-housing Community Development <br />Needs (e.g., public services), the HOME Consortium cities will determine their own performance <br />measures if they do not have any in place. However, the City will continue to use performance <br />measures that it had previously established for nonprofits and public agencies that are jointly <br />funded with City General Funds and CDBG monies and serve San Leandro residents. <br />The City will also work with the County to administer HOME funds for affordable housing <br />rehabilitation or new construction projects. The City will continue to contract for housing <br />services such as fair housing and tenant/landlord counseling. The Redevelopment Agency and <br />CDBG staff will continue to work closely with local nonprofit agencies, the County and other <br />HOME Consortium members to identify permanent affordable, emergency and transitional <br />housing needs (along with necessary supportive services) for the homeless and/or persons with <br />special needs. <br />Public Services/Public Faciliti <br />Public Services will be supported by both the CDBG and the City's Community Assistance <br />funding (from General Funds). Efforts will continue to include the Human Resources <br />Commission and nonprofit agency directors/members to further improve and evaluate the needs <br />assessment and funding process. CDBG funds are expected to be made available for nonprofit <br />and City-initiated capital improvement projects. Nonprofit improvements will be coordinated <br />within the City's Planning, Building & Safety Services, Engineering and Transportation <br />Departments, and the City Council. <br />Economic Development <br />Commercial revitalization efforts will continue through the City's Office of Business <br />Development (OBD) staff. Staff works closely with CDBG staff, local business organizations <br />(such as the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Association), surrounding <br />communities, and various other economic development organizations to better address and <br />determine the City's future economic and job needs. <br />Action Plan - FY2005-OG <br />Clw of San Leandro <br />Page 13 <br />
