CAPER 10 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) The most significant barrier to added affordable housing in the last decade was the dissolution of the City’s Redevelopment Agency resulting in a loss of affordable housing financing support. There have also been substantial reductions in grant amounts in the last five years that have impeded the City’s ability to meet its housing and community development goals. In addition, the ongoing high costs of construction, labor and materials, and high interest rates in San Leandro and the Bay Area, have impacted the development of market rate and affordable housing. Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The City prepares its annual action plans based on actual grant funding received. The City will continue to monitor developments in regional and state funding initiatives and work to support affordable housing and community development projects in applying for all available funding resources. The City has a base allocation of $10 million in Alameda County Measure A-1 funds, a voter-approved initiative authorizing a $580 million general obligation bond to invest in regional efforts to address the lack of affordable housing. A-1 funds are specifically designated for affordable rental housing development meeting the Consolidated Plan goal to Produce and Preserve Affordable Housing.
