Annual Action Plan 2022 30 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Services Division, requires contractors, who are working on homes built prior to 1978, to demonstrate that they have satisfied the EPA law prior to providing them the City building permits needed. Should the City use federal funds, such as HOME funds, for acquisition and/or rehabilitation of apartments for preservation or maintenance as affordable housing, it will inform tenants of lead-based paint and comply with both the new EPA law on lead and renovation as well as with applicable HUD lead-based paint hazard reduction guidelines and regulations. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families Anti-Poverty Strategies and planned actions to reduce the number of poverty-level families are listed in Section SP-70. Section 220 of the 1992 Housing and Community Development Act requires jurisdictions to describe the goals, programs, and policies that will reduce the number of households with incomes below the poverty level. One strategy for increasing household income is to improve the employment potential of those who are seeking to break from the cycle of poverty. The City’s Community Assistance Grant Program (CAP), that is currently funded with CDBG funds, will continue to support non-profit agencies that provide job assistance and related services to low-income members of the community. The City’s Economic Development Division actively seeks new commercial office and retail developments that may result in new employment opportunities for residents. The CDBG staff will continue to work closely with the City’s Economic Development Division staff to develop eligible projects and programs and promote increased economic development and community job creation and retention. Actions planned to develop institutional structure Planned actions to develop institutional structure were listed in Section SP-40 of the Five-year Consolidated Plan (starting on page 56). Public agencies, for-profit and non-profit private organizations all play a part in the provision of affordable housing, social services, capital improvements, and economic development. The City's Housing Services Division has the primary responsibility for implementation of the Consolidated Plan and the Housing Element. The Division works closely with the Economic Development Division in the implementation of affordable housing projects and programs. Non-profit agencies also provide social services to the community each year. The Alameda County Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department is the lead agency in the implementation of the HOME Consortium’s Consolidated Plan. HCD also administers the HOME Program for the HOME Consortium members, HUD homeless programs (including the Continuum of Care Council), and the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program for homeownership. The City and other cities in the County take part in the HCD activities described above. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
