Annual Action Plan <br />2023 <br />21 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) <br />increased fair housing activities in the City’s recently State-certified Housing Element Update for 2023- <br />2031 and address inflationary costs because ECHO Housing has been funded at $10,000 for over a <br />decade. <br />The allocation for the City's HUD Section 108 Loan repayment ($168,135) is in accordance with the 20- <br />year repayment schedule for the City's $2.5 million HUD Section 108 Loan used to complete the City's <br />senior center. In addition, staff proposes allocating $207,682 for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the <br />Nimitz Motel for use as a shelter and drop-in navigation center for San Leandro residents experiencing <br />chronic homelessness, as well as for relocation costs for eligible residents. <br />The City will continue to provide lower-income San Leandro homeowners with minor home repair grants <br />using CDBG funds to ensure that these existing, naturally affordable homes are preserved and in safe <br />and habitable conditions. <br />The main obstacles to addressing the City's underserved needs are: 1) the continued reductions in <br />funding levels for the CDBG and HOME programs, and 2) the excess of need far exceeding the amounts <br />of funding available. <br />
