Public/Private Coordination The City of San Leandro coordinated CDBG, HOME, Redevelopment and Community Assistance funds to provide housing programs, public service assistance, capital improvement opportunities, and economic development programs to the community during the past year. San Leandro continued its participation in the Alameda County HOME Consortium and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The Consortium coordinates the planning and use of the local jurisdictions' HOME funds. The City established an Affordable Housing Task Force during the last year to develop a five year strategic plan for housing policy. The City also worked closely with other cities and the County to plan and coordinate housing related projects and activities of regional benefit. Examples include the Countywide Continuum of Care development and the Rubicon/San Leandro Shelter transitional housing project. Public Housing Improvements and Resident Initiatives The City of San Leandro does not contain any public housing.

During this time period the City continued to contract with ECHO Housing for tenant/landlord counseling, investigation and referral, Rental Assistance Program, and Fair Housing services. Upon request, staff referred Fair Housing related inquires to the appropriate agency.
