Action Plan - FI'2001 City of San Leandro Page 16 It is anticipated that CDBG and the City's Community Assistance funds will continue to support nonprofit agencies that provide job assistance and related services (such as child care) to low-income members of the community. In recent years, several nonprofit agencies such as Davis Street Community Center, Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL), Shelter Against Violent Environments (SAVE), and the San Leandro Shelter for Women and Children have provided job support and related services to families, disabled persons, and women and children who are homeless and/or in transition. The City of San Leandro has attracted several commercial, office and retail development, which created new employment opportunities for residents. CDBG staff will continue to work closely with the City's Economic Development Coordinator to develop eligible programs and promote increased economic development and community job retention.
