Community Development Needs - Economic Development If feasible, the City may seek to allocate CDBG funds to provide loans to eligible small businesses for property upgrades. Again, if feasible, CDBG funds may be used to develop and implement a neighborhood strategy or plan for commercial corridor revitalization. Historically, the City has focused CDBG allocations on public services, capital improvements and affordable housing needs due to greater demand for those needs. Community Development Needs - Public Services The City proposes to continue providing operational grants to non-profit social services providers serving residents. During the Five-year Consolidated Planning period, the priorities for CDBG funding includes basic needs programs for low-income individuals and families, meal delivery to homebound seniors, and shelter programs. Other sub -populations in Alameda County with high needs are persons with physical or mental disabilities and seniors who need affordable housing integrated with available support services. The City intends to use available HOME funds for transitional or permanent supportive housing projects serving residents with special needs. Community Development Needs - Public Facilities & Improvements During the Five-year Consolidated Planning period, the City will use available CDBG funds to fund ADA improvements to public facilities, install ADA curb ramps, and assist non-profit social service agencies with necessary facility improvements. The City will also use CDBG funds for principal and interest payments in accordance with the repayment schedule for the $2.5 million HUD Section 108 Loan used to build the senior center. COVID-19 Pandemic Response This priority need is primarily for those instances when the City might receive federal stimulus funding with the intent to use the funds to address the COVID-19 pandemic response. 3. Evaluation of past performance Each of the City's Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Reports (CAPER) for the last Five- year Consolidated Planning period (July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020) assessed the effectiveness of the CDBG-funded programs and activities in meeting the priority needs for San Leandro. Each CAPER was approved by the City's HUD representative in the San Francisco Regional Office of the Community Planning and Development Division. 4.
