-- DRAFT -- 2025-2029 ConPlan & FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan Page 10 of 90 PR-10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.110, 91.200(b), 91.300(b), 91.215(l) and 91.315(l) 1. Introduction The HUD Five-Year ConPlan is a strategic document that outlines a City’s goals for using federal funds to address housing, community development, and economic needs, particularly for low- and moderate- income residents. The plan ensures the effective allocation of resources in alignment with the community’s needs and HUD’s core objectives: providing decent housing, ensuring a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities. The City crafted a well-rounded plan by engaging the community through public meetings, surveys, and consultations with key stakeholders. This inclusive approach ensured the plan reflected local priorities, such as affordable housing, infrastructure improvements, and social services. The City also used comprehensive data analysis to assess needs and trends, ensuring evidence-based decision-making that aligns with HUD’s three objectives while fostering community-driven solutions. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)). The City actively enhances coordination between public and assisted housing providers and a variety of governmental, health, and service agencies through a comprehensive approach that prioritizes collaboration and community engagement. The City conducted community outreach and stakeholder surveys to gather insights on housing needs, ensuring resident input is integrated into its strategies. A key component of this coordination is the HOME Consortium Technical Advisory Committee, which includes staff from consortium members across Alameda County. This group meets bimonthly to provide policy guidance for the ConPlan, ensuring a unified regional approach to housing issues. The City works closely with jurisdictions in Alameda County, HOME Consortium members, and nonprofit agencies to address the critical needs for permanent affordable housing, emergency shelters, and transitional housing, while also supporting services like tenant-landlord counseling, fair housing assistance, and legal services. Additionally, the City collaborates with the Housing Authority of Alameda County (HACA), which administers the HUD Section 8 housing voucher program for residents. The City also supports programs like the TBRA initiative, which provides rental subsidies, job training, and case management to help homeless families achieve stable housing. The City’s Human Services Commission and local nonprofits play an essential role in assessing community needs, highlighted by a 2017 Human Services Gap Analysis that identified key gaps in mental health services, child enrollment in programs like CalFresh, and resources for domestic violence victims. To address these gaps, the City funds the Community Assistance Grant Program (CAP) through its general fund, while City departments such as Economic Development collaborate with local business organizations like the San Leandro Chamber of Commerce and San Leandro Downtown Business Association, ensuring that business and housing efforts are aligned. Through these coordinated efforts, the City strives to improve housing stability and access to vital services across the community.
