Consolidated Plan SAN LEANDRO 40 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") According to the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing mapping tool offered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, there are no areas in the City of San Leandro where there are concentrations of racial or ethnic minority households. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? Approximately half of the Low-Mod Census Blockgroups are along the East 14th Street commercial corridor. Four Low-Mod Census Blockgroups are located South West of the Bay Fair BART station with the remaining nine Blockgroups scattered on the borders of West San Leandro’s commercial/industrial properties and waterfront. All of the Low-Mod Census Blockgroups are relatively evenly distributed throughout the city. Given this, the market characteristics in these neighborhoods are in many ways similar to the market characteristics of the City as a whole. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? There are various community assets interspersed and proximate to all of the Low-Mod Census Blockgroup concentrations. For example, along the East 14th Street commercial corridor there are a number of affordable housing developments, grocery stores, the San Leandro Senior Center, schools, the hospitals and health centers, and the retail commercial center of the Bay Fair Shopping Center. In the Western portion of the City there is the Marina Community Center, a number of parks and sports fields, Marina and Manor Branch Libraries and schools, and retail shopping areas. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The strategic opportunities in these areas align with the strategies of the Consolidated Plan as a whole. 278
