Action Plan - FYI"8 <br />City of San Leandro <br />Page 14 <br />primary purpose of the program is job creation/retention within the <br />community. The program is primarily targeted towards small, neighborhood <br />serving businesses, however, other types of businesses will be considered <br />based on their capacity to create jobs for eligible San Leandro residents. <br />* It is anticipated that CDBG and the City's Community Assistance funds will <br />continue to support nonprofit agencies that provide job assistance and related <br />services (such as child care) to low income members of the community. In <br />recent years, several nonprofit agencies such as Davis Street Community <br />Center, Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL), Shelter <br />Against Violent Environments (SAVE), and the San Leandro Shelter for <br />Women and Children have provided job support and related services to <br />families, disabled persons, and women with children who are homeless <br />and/or in transition. <br />Funds have also supported the Project Literacy program for illiterate adults <br />within the community. A job -based, on -site literacy program is now <br />occurring in coordination with several San Leandro based businesses. The <br />City will continue to encourage new agencies and programs providing job <br />assistance and related services to apply for funds. <br />INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE <br />The Development Services Department is made up of the Planning, Building and <br />Redevelopment Divisions. Both the Community Standards and CDBG/Housing Sections <br />are included as part of the Planning Division. In an effort towards enhanced communication <br />with members of the community, the San Leandro Civic Center provides a "One Stop <br />Counter". The purpose of this counter is to provide the best possible customer service to the <br />residential and business communities with regard to economic development and land use <br />issues. <br />PUBLIC/PRIVATE COORDINATION <br />The City of San Leandro will continue to coordinate CDBG, HOME, Redevelopment and <br />Community Assistance funds to provide housing programs, public service assistance, capital <br />improvement opportunities, and economic development revitalization programs to the <br />community during the next fiscal year. <br />
