Once volunteers are identified they will attend 30 hours of training receiving the National CASA curriculum. Topics in the curriculum include; courtroom procedures, cultural awareness, adverse childhood experiences and toxic stress, family finding and advocating the special needs of abused and neglected children. The culmination of the initial training is the swearing-in ceremony with the Juvenile Court Judges where CASA volunteers become sworn officers of the Court. We encourage people from all backgrounds and professions to join our volunteer program.
Youth are formally referred to the program via the dependency Judge. Once the youth is matched with the CASA volunteer, the volunteer engages with the child and the stakeholders in their life–parents, family members, social workers, school officials, health providers and anyone else knowledgeable about the child’s history. The CASA volunteer also reviews all records pertaining to the child–school, medical and caseworker reports, and other documents. CASA volunteers advocate for the child’s best interest in the outcome of their case as well as to ensuring their needs are met while they in the foster care system. Each case is as unique as the child involved. What we do know is that this connection can change the trajectory of a foster child’s life.
The CASA volunteer then provides a judge with a carefully researched background of the child to help the court make sound decisions about the child’s future. The CASA makes recommendations to the judge on placement and services so that every child can have a safe, permanent home and the opportunity to thrive.
In fulfilling this child-centered role, the CASA performs three separate functions:
• An INVESTIGATOR whose task is to uncover all relevant facts and report them to the court; • An ADVOCATE for the best interest of the child in the courtroom and in the child welfare and social services systems, Attachment A
967

identifying resources and services in the child’s best interest; and • A MONITOR who ensures that court orders are being followed and all services are provided in a timely manner and who brings to the court’s attention any new developments, changes, or concerns.
The Program Manager has direct oversight of the program and CASA staff. Volunteers are supervised by the CASA staff who will ensure that the CASA Volunteer has all the tools and information needed to successfully advocate for the child.
Project Deliverable # Describe the Deliverable
1 Trainer will conduct a minimum of 4 trainings per year 2 Youth will be matched with a volunteer and a Volunteer Coordinator will oversee the volunteers
G.6 Describe how you will measure the effectiveness of this program/project. Describe your criteria for success.
What results do you expect to have achieved at the end of this grant? The CASA Growth Plan effectiveness will be measured by:
1. The number of new CASA volunteers sworn in- 42 by end of FY 2023
2. The number of foster children served - 150 by the end of FY 2023 By successfully meeting the goals above we will serve 150 children in foster youth. These youth will benefit from the relationship with their CASA and experience a sense of stability that will lead to higher self-esteem, stronger academic results and better health outcomes.
Deliverable # Task that Support Deliverable
1 Complete a minimum of 4 trainings per year
2 A minimum of 50 individuals will attend training
3 85% of attendees will graduate and match with a youth 4 150 youth will be served by a CASA 22.23
G.7. Describe the population this program/project will serve and how they will benefit. Does your program target a special group (i.e., homeless, special needs, elderly) that benefits or will benefit from your program? What are your eligibility requirements?
The CASA program serves foster youth throughout San Joaquin County. HUD recognizes foster youth as a priority low- income population. We know that children who have experienced abuse and neglect fare better with a CASA volunteer by their side. Studies have shown that children with CASAs:
• Are more likely to find a safe permanent home
• Are more likely to succeed in school
• Are half as likely to re-enter foster care
Any youth in the SJC dependency system can benefit from a CASA. Research suggests that 95% of the children who have been assigned CASA volunteers tend to spend less time in court and less time within the foster care system than those who do not have CASA representation. Judges have observed that CASA children also have better chances of Attachment A

Printed By: Kayla Martin on 3/30/2022 6 of 6
finding permanent homes than non-CASA children. Currently, there are over 70 children on the CASA SJC waitlist.
G.8. Briefly explain how this service/activity/project differs from other programs providing similar services in Stockton/San Joaquin County. Also indicate any networking or collaboration which occurs with agencies or programs providing the same or like services AND their role in this specific program/project.
CASA is a National program, with 44 CASA programs throughout California. In SJC it is run under the umbrella of the Child Abuse Prevention Council. This is a one-of-a-kind program. While there are other mentor programs, CASAs are court appointed by the judge to give recommendations regarding education, foster placements, health and general wellbeing. It is a collaboration between the CAPC, Human Services Agency (HSA) and the dependency courts. CASAs reach out to all collateral contacts, including the youth’s social worker, to gather an overall picture of the needs, supports and accomplishments in the youth’s life. These updates are then reported to the judge to assist in recommendations regarding the youth.
G.9. Describe leveraging or sustainability efforts your organization is implementing to ensure the long-term viability of this program/project.
The CASA program currently receives financial support from the Judicial Council of the California Courts, Governor’s Office of Emergency Services and through various fundraising events hosted by the CAPC Marketing Department. To help sustain the recruitment and funding efforts of the campaign we have assembled a CASA Development Committee. The committee is made up of stake holders from our community which include community members, philanthropists, CASA staff and volunteers. The CASA Development Committee is leading the charge in identification of funding streams (which may include philanthropy, grants, contract, and outreach/ community giving campaigns).
The CAPC board is fully committed to supporting the CASA growth plan and marketing campaign. The Development Director will also take leadership in leveraging the city’s investment in growing CASA with additional public and private fundraising to create larger impact and growth.
G.10. Identify any potential conflict of interest with this application for federal funds. Conflict of interest may exist with employees of the organization who sit on community boards, commission, or committees. Similarly, City of Stockton Council members or City employees who may sit on your board of directors pose possible conflicts of interest.
We are no aware of any conflicts of interest.

J.2. Describe in detail how the program/project will address the barrier selected in question I.1.
The CASA growth plan is a 3-pronged approach which includes recruiting CASA volunteers, building the capacity to serve more children and raising funds to support the additional staff needed with the expansion. In order for the community to participate in the CASA growth plan, we need to educate the community to the depth and severity of the problem. The problem: foster youth leave foster care at alarming rates ill-equipped with the skills needed to graduate from college, hold jobs and find stable housing, the answer, CASA. The recruiter will be utilizing a marketing, publicity campaign which will include community presentations designed to educate our community on the plight of our foster youth. We must educate the community on how they can help change the trajectory of a foster youth’s life.
The foster youth of San Joaquin County deserve a chance to succeed. With the help of this community, we can meet our goal to increase volunteers and build the capacity to serve more youth per year.
J.3. Describe in detail how the program/project is accessible to clients via public transportation, and if applicable, any measures used to specifically reduce the transportation barriers for clients The CAPC’s 3 main administrative locations are located in downtown Stockton, walking distance from the main bus terminal.

Fees $9000 Projected
E.5. What will be the impact on your agency, program, or project goals be if the program is not funded at the full amount requested? Will your organization have the ability to sustain itself if the funding allocated is less than the amount requested? Please provide detailed information to understand if this is a funding gap and/or funds used to leverage additional sources outside of Stockton i.e. County/State/Federal/Private Funds Affordable housing and economic development projects dominate the local CDBG awards. Tuleburg Press/The Write Place, as a Public Service project, provides creative and much needed literacy programming in our community. Our position downtown is more than a physical space; we are also heavily engaged in social engagement and community activism around arts and culture, traditionally underserved areas in Stockton.
Tuleburg Press does not use CDBG funds to match grant funds as this revenue source is highly competitive on the local level and subject to tremendous uncertainty at the federal level. However, receipt of these funds and our cautious stewardship of these resources has increased our credibility in the community with corporate sponsors. We have been able to sustain our local fundraising efforts for five years in a row, but every year we are looking at new and increased local corporate funding.
The CDBG funds are the ONLY funds that permit operational expenditures. We must receive CDBG funds to remain downtown. When we first applied for CDBG funding the amount was 1/3 of our budget. For this application the amount requested is 1/5 of our budget.
E.6. The City’s funding is intended to benefit residents of the City of Stockton. Briefly define your entire service area (e.g., a portion of the city, entire city, county).
The project service area is the county with primary emphasis in Stockton.
Tuleburg Press uses a HUD Beneficiary Certification Statement updated every April to reflect the new HUD income guidelines. We also print the form in English and Spanish to help with completion.
Clients take classes at our site or during an outreach activity, such as a festival, or when we take programs offsite to community centers or other program sites. Often we are dealing with minors who arrive without parents or guardians or with schoolchildren and their teachers. Getting the 100% of the data forms for all our classes or events has proven impossible.
Therefore, we are relying on federal definitions of low income based on free or reduced lunch eligibility when we are dealing with local school field trips. We are also focusing our outreach to San Joaquin Housing Authority operated community centers, the Stockton Shelter for the Homeless, and to Title I elementary schools where federal low- income levels are predetermined.
We are attaching the LMISD Map (Schools.png) based on 2006-2010 ACS, and noting the locations of schools and centers in which we operate. SUSD Hoover Elementary School is a Title 1 school where 82.2% of the students are socio-economically disadvantaged and 16.7% are English language learners.

As a non-profit publishing company, Tuleburg Press fosters literacy in our diverse community by identifying, publishing, and/or mentoring emerging, talented, local writers, especially those who write about life in the Central Valley.
To that end, the organization operates THE WRITE PLACE, a creative writing and book arts center in downtown Stockton, CA, providing a public service that benefits low and moderate income persons that will increase writing proficiency and confidence through guided projects and making and printing books of their own.
We have ongoing meetings with downtown area schools to introduce classes at THE WRITE PLACE. We offer introductory workshops at no or minimal cost, with scholarships available for low income participants. We meet with the San Joaquin County Office of Education, Teach for America, Worknet, The Pride Center, and teacher preparation programs at Humphrey’s, University of the Pacific, Delta College, and Stanislaus State.

G. Project Narrative
Please provide the following information.
G.1. How would you characterize your program/project based on the continuum of approaches to housing and public service needs listed below: (Select Top Three)
PREVENTION - Helps prevent a problem before it emerges EARLY INTERVENTION - Addresses a problem in its early manifestation to keep it from becoming worse TRANSITION - Helps move clients toward a better situation, lower level of need, etc. MAINTENANCE - Helps to ensure that clients do not decline, etc. SELF-SUFFICIENCY - Helps move clients toward a situation in which they will no longer need the program or service
STABILIZATION - Helps clients attain stability so that they can work toward a better situation G.2. Describe in detail how the program/project will address each of the 3 housing and public service needs selected above (i.e. how it specifically addresses prevention/early intervention etc.) Prevention: Research shows that engaging youth and adults in project-based learning enhances student performance, increases motivation and engagement. The process of making a book from scratch increases creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. People of all ages need these skills to help navigate everyday circumstances. Having a sense of oneself as a creator, as problem solver, and as a contributor builds self-esteem and confidence that allows people to withstand negativity and overcome obstacles.
Early Intervention & Intervention in General: The arts are therapeutic. Many of our participants have experienced trauma through domestic violence, street crime, fosterage or homelessness. They lack stable families. They have mental illnesses, including PTSD. For children the early intervention and attention is key to later educational success.
While it is true that people must attain the basics as Maslow described: food, clothing, shelter before they can self- actualize, Tuleburg Press takes up in conjunction with other service providers to add the educational component addressed in Bloom’s Taxonomy: (1) knowledge, (2) comprehension, (3) application, (4) analysis, (5) synthesis, and (6) evaluation. Bloom's taxonomy provides a systematic way of describing how a learner's performance grows in complexity when mastering academic tasks.
Transition: Our writing and book arts programs are beneficial, especially for participants who need quiet, focused time with no distractions. Two of our programs – the Transformational Writing Group and Pieces to Peace Project specifically address “writing trauma out of the body.”
At one writing workshop at the Children's Home of Stockton, the four female participants were agitated due to the attempted suicide of one of their cottage members. All had witnessed the event and the girl being taken away in the ambulance. I asked them to sit and write about what had happened. They didn't have to share and they could destroy Attachment A

the writing at the end. They just had to write the experience "out of the body." Remarkably, the participants, ages 15-18, wrote for significantly longer than was required, and read out loud what they had written. The narratives were honest and detailed. One participant had experienced the death of her brother from an overdose, so the event was traumatically triggering. Between my facilitation and the intervention of their cottage administrator, all participants left the session relieved of some of the pressure of the day.
These testimonials are from Fall 2021 work with the Children's Home of Stockton:
Ashton, 16. Thank you for allowing me to have the opportunity to experience your workshop. I loved the process of making my own book. I also loved being able to express my feelings in your writing group. I enjoyed the whole thing. If I could go back and do the whole thing all over again, I would.
Logan, 15. Thank you for teaching me how to make paper out of clothes. Maybe I will come back. It was fun. (What is significant about Logan's few remarks is that it took him several visits to the center before he was engaged. He was always quiet and wrote little, but the impact was bigger than he acknowledges. He was able to resume visits with his father.)
Administrator Mike M. The kids love their journals. They are very precious to them. They take them everywhere.
G.3. Provide a detailed description of your proposed project/ activity. Describe the work to be performed, including the activities to be undertaken or the services to be provided, the goals and objectives and the method of approach. Be specific about the days/times of services and the frequency and duration of services received by the average client or participant. A timeline/schedule including activity start date and completion date must be submitted with the application.

G.5. Explain how your agency will implement this program/project and what staff will administer the activities.
How will clients access the program/project?
Tuleburg Press, a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 founded in 2012, is an organization managed solely by its board of directors, who represent a culturally and ethnically diverse background similar to that of our region. All Tuleburg Press board members are active in the community in various types of art and literary expression.
Collectively they hold decades of award-winning experience in writing, reporting, publishing, the arts, and community service, as well as other professional experience in business, non-profit, and program development and management.
STAFF: The board is chaired by Paula Sheil, a graduate of the University of the Pacific (UOP) who currently teaches English composition as a tenured instructor at San Joaquin Delta College (SJDC). She has written for, founded, and published two art and literature magazines and quarterlies; Artifact (SJDC student publication), and Zambomba! (Poetry quarterly), which generated nation-wide publication of some of her poetry pieces and the works of poets across the country. Before joining the faculty at Delta she wrote feature stories for The Record, Stockton’s local newspaper, for 10 years. Her board experience includes current board member status of the Stockton Arts Foundation and being the chair of the Marian Jacobs Literary Forum. She is a past president of the Stockton Arts Commission.
Both her writing and community work have earned her awards from the California Newspaper Publishers Association (CNPA), a STAR Award from the Stockton Arts Commission, and the Susan B. Anthony Award for her work in the creative arts.
Sheil also manages The Write Place. Past college interns and current center staff members have arts and education training. Sheil coordinates/manages The Write Place as a volunteer. There are two part-time staff: one administrative/grant writer and the other a studio manager. All are background checked and tested for tuberculosis.
ACCESS - Centrally Located Downtown:
Tuleburg Press leases space in Cort Tower and began developing its book arts curriculum and building out the papermaking and letterpress studios in 2017. On March 1, 2022, Tuleburg Press/THE WRITE PLACE will celebrate its 5th Anniversary as a creative writing and book arts center.
Primary service delivery will be at THE WRITE PLACE in Cort Tower, downtown Stockton, CA in order to maintain client accessibility. Local transit is accessible downtown. We are located one block from the RTD Transit Hub.
Client/participants are solicited from networking with other CBOs, through social media and general press announcements, and through our growing database of participants.
Project Deliverable # Describe the Deliverable

Printed By: Kayla Martin on 3/30/2022 9 of 11
1 Primary deliverable to get our client participation back to pre-Covid numbers.
G.6 Describe how you will measure the effectiveness of this program/project. Describe your criteria for success.
What results do you expect to have achieved at the end of this grant? Retention, completion and making stated goals are indicators of success.
We require sign-in sheets at every class or event to track participant hours.
We use participant satisfaction surveys for each class/workshop/event for marketing.
We require HUD Beneficiary Qualification Statements to tract required HUD data. And maintain 51% or better low- income participants.
We seek to reach 70% of our established participant load, on a project-by-project basis.
Because we established the physical location of the book arts center in downtown Stockton with local support bolstered by CDBG funding, we track all the required HUD demographics and have been more successful each year in meeting our numbers.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we are grateful to the Stockton/San Joaquin leadership for the relief funds that we were able to secure because we have weathered this crisis. We have not served as many individual participants this year due to the pandemic, but all of the funds we received kept artists working and engaged with the community.
Continuing support from major San Joaquin County firms, local arts agencies, and the California Arts Council are also measures of success.
1. Established stronger collaboration with local CBOs
2. Secured NEW funding from local and national foundations Deliverable # Task that Support Deliverable
1 Collaborating with Community Medical Centers, we will explore other underserved client populations (in addition to homeless and veterans)
2 Increase corporate or foundation funds by 5%
G.7. Describe the population this program/project will serve and how they will benefit. Does your program target a special group (i.e., homeless, special needs, elderly) that benefits or will benefit from your program? What are your eligibility requirements?
The Write Place service area is predominately Stockton-based and immediately outside the city limits in the county, such as Taft Community Center and Taft Elementary School on Downing Ave, Stockton, CA 95206.
THE WRITE PLACE is primarily for students, though there are fee-for-service programs for adults. The students identified in the downtown area are largely Hispanic/Latino. The majority are language learners and their English language skills are far below the state average. This population in general is identified through state and local data collection processes.
Empirically, our society has come to realize the direct correlations between literacy and quality of living. Literacy rates Attachment A
1003
Printed By: Kayla Martin on 3/30/2022 10 of 11
have become a common indicator for a range of issues, from health to drop-out rates and to poverty levels, to likelihood of incarceration. Tuleburg Press works to encourage, stimulate, and strengthen both literacy and the literary arts in the interest of improving the overall quality of life for Stocktonians by providing one of the most crucial skills in building a prosperous and meaningful life. These skills apply to both vocation and professional careers .
Given the available data on student populations in the targeted area, it is our belief that being a “student” in Stockton is eligibility enough.
In terms of adults, current Census information from the US Department of Education determined that currently 61% of the population in the primary zip code of South Stockton has completed high school or equivalency level of education, which is 20% lower than the national average .
From the perspective of the writers and educators at Tuleburg Press one necessity in resolving these issues is evident, and that is the opportunity for the community to engage in art and literature in the interest of promoting literacy, inspiration, and hope. Improvement in literacy rates increase people’s success in attaining quality education, and education enhances the other essential quality of life factors, such as health and employment. To us, addressing the disparities that burden our community begins with reading and writing. We are teaching new generations the fundamentals of the craft of book making and offering the community a gathering place for ideas.
G.8. Briefly explain how this service/activity/project differs from other programs providing similar services in Stockton/San Joaquin County. Also indicate any networking or collaboration which occurs with agencies or programs providing the same or like services AND their role in this specific program/project.
THE WRITE PLACE is the ONLY creative writing and book arts center in the San Joaquin Valley. There is a writing center in Sacramento, but it does not offer bookmaking or letterpress printing. There are no literary publishers in Stockton other than Tuleburg Press.
Collaborations exist with agencies that promote literacy: Friends of the Stockton Public Library, Reach Out and Read, San Joaquin A+, The Record’s Family Literacy Day in the Park, and Read to Me are just a few of the many that promote reading; THE WRITE PLACE fills in the literacy gap with writing.
Major collaborations in 2020-21 include Pieces to Peace with Community Medical Centers and the Children's Home of Stockton, Hoover Elementary School and one.Charter Elementary School. All provide program participants.
G.9. Describe leveraging or sustainability efforts your organization is implementing to ensure the long-term viability of this program/project.
1. Tuleburg Press/The Write Place continues to seek additional art grants and arts foundation funding.
2. We will increase our product revenue stream from letterpress printing poetry broadsides, letterhead, and greeting cards.
3. We will increase participation in our CRM (customer relationship management) database.
4. Revitalize the Stockton Arts Foundation, a 501 (c) 3, with other artists and arts venue providers.
5. We will lobby the City of Stockton to restore the $1.3M Arts Endowment that was lost in the bankruptcy.
6. We will engage local funders in support of the Arts Foundation similarly to the way our community has participated in the San Joaquin Community Foundation.
7. We will continue to seek contracts with local schools.
G.10. Identify any potential conflict of interest with this application for federal funds. Conflict of interest may exist with employees of the organization who sit on community boards, commission, or committees. Similarly, City of Attachment A

A marketing and publicity campaign that provides consumers with additional education and information about the agency’s programs and services.
Coordination and collaboration with other service providers. Accessing and utilizing “un-tapped” resources
Removing barriers that limit access to services and participation (e.g. language, time, cost, transportation, etc.).
J.2. Describe in detail how the program/project will address the barrier selected in question I.1.
We have found that transportation has been the biggest barrier to servicing low-income participants. The focus of our efforts now are to deliver more programming on site: community centers, shelters, schools.
We have painted and outfitted a small trailer with papermaking and printing equipment so that we can set up on site whether it’s at a school or community playground or park. We successfully utilized our colorful trailer and printing equipment at the Stockton Arts Commissions “Collide” arts festival in October, 2019. We have the required insurance for this rig.
Our plan is to use this trailer set up to take our programs to locations where the participants cannot come to us downtown.
We received funding from the Manteca-based Raymus Foundation for portable bookbinding and letterpress printing equipment to make our practices portable.
We have also applied to the Stockton Arts Commission to set up at 10 community-based, ethnically diverse festivals and serve larger populations in outdoor, Covid-safe environments.

We anticipate positioning the three mobile laundromats in high density homeless areas. Our staff will ask participants to remove all personal belongings from the clothing (all pockets inside out) and to place them in a basket and complete a brief intake/survey form. The basket will be taken into the laundromat by staff; once washed and dried the belonging will be returned to the participant.
F.6. How was the need for this service/activity/project determined? Describe the challenges, needs or service gaps in Stockton that your program/projects address.
The Homeless population in Stockton has tripled since 2017. This population is at risk of higher infection rates because of the lack of overall personal hygiene. Individuals experiencing homelessness have significant barriers to self-care and personal hygiene. Unkempt clothing and personal contact with others in the same concentrated, infectious situation creates the perfect storm for bacterial infestations and disease transmission. The stigma of drug abuse, alcoholism, and aggressive behavior are significant barriers to using public facilities, such as a public laundromat. Laundromat services are cost-prohibitive, as well as, impossible to access because of lack of transportation. Even though some shelters have limited laundry services for their residents, service is not available to the over one thousand unsheltered population. In a survey of homeless clients, it was revealed that most homeless reported they hand-wash clothes in tepid water in a public bathroom or do not launder their clothes.
Mobile Laundromats are vital to our city’s commitment to public safety and disease prevention, as well as the dignity for the homeless population. This proposal offers the first step in preventing the spread of Covid-19, influenza, chicken pox, meningitis, E. coli, salmonella, staphylococcus, infections transmitted by body lice and many health threats. Also, the homeless population was being missed in being educated and given covid-19 vaccinations and tests.
Uplift All Foundation is the only organization offering mobile and free laundry services to to the homeless. This was a huge service gap provided neither the City of Stockton nor any other community based organization.

G. Project Narrative
Please provide the following information.
G.1. How would you characterize your program/project based on the continuum of approaches to housing and public service needs listed below: (Select Top Three)
PREVENTION - Helps prevent a problem before it emerges EARLY INTERVENTION - Addresses a problem in its early manifestation to keep it from becoming worse TRANSITION - Helps move clients toward a better situation, lower level of need, etc. MAINTENANCE - Helps to ensure that clients do not decline, etc. SELF-SUFFICIENCY - Helps move clients toward a situation in which they will no longer need the program or service
STABILIZATION - Helps clients attain stability so that they can work toward a better situation G.2. Describe in detail how the program/project will address each of the 3 housing and public service needs selected above (i.e. how it specifically addresses prevention/early intervention etc.) Early intervention - if clothes are not laundered, they are vectors for spreading viral and bacterial infections and other transmittable diseases. Clean laundry and hygienic practices provide a tool of early intervention and prevention. Our laundromats are servicing the homeless in an outdoor setting while still maintaining proper social distancing to reduce the spread of Covid-19
Transition - Our clients with clean clothes are more acceptable in society. They look presentable for job interviews, Self-Sufficiency - Per our mission we provide the tools knowledge and the education for the homeless to become self- sufficient.
G.3. Provide a detailed description of your proposed project/ activity. Describe the work to be performed, including the activities to be undertaken or the services to be provided, the goals and objectives and the method of approach. Be specific about the days/times of services and the frequency and duration of services received by the average client or participant. A timeline/schedule including activity start date and completion date must be submitted with the application.
Uplift All Foundation has three mobile laundrovans (laundromats in vans) which are placed strategically where the homeless population is dense. Our schedules are posted and proper outreach is done to the homeless. We work five days a week in three different locations at the same time. We service Monday through Friday, from 7:30 am for a duration of eight hours each day or until our last load of laundry is done. On average, each van services at least 25- loads per day. Our services run throughout the year, rain or shine.

Because people experiencing homelessness cannot access a stationary laundromat due to lack of transport, lack of finances to afford the cost of public laundromats and are often unwelcome at public laundromats; because of the social stigma surrounding those who are homeless, clean clothing is not accessible to the population. However, Loads of Hope Mobile Laundromats have the mechanism to rectify this by bringing laundry facilities to them. The mobile unit offers to reach those most in need. As encampments and individuals migrate over time, we can now prioritize placement where the homeless population gather and camp.
Each laundrovan is equipped with four washers and four dryers, a generator, a propane tank, water heater, and a hand washing sink. Each laundrovan can be placed at any location where we feel is going to be most accessible and beneficial to the clients.
Besides providing clean clothes, we are giving Covid-19 vaccinations; as well as, flu shots to the homeless.
While the service recipients wait for their clothes, Uplift All Foundation has an hour to provide services from our partners agencies in the areas of mental health, drug prevention, health care services, holistic services, and/or job training.

1 Quantify laundry loads on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis G.4. Describe your agency’s capacity to implement this program or project (identify agency’s federal grants managed, staff resources, skills and experience, number of years in operation, accomplishments to date, etc.).
Uplift All Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) U.S. nonprofit organization with a vision to inspire and empower people experiencing homelessness in San Joaquin County. Since 2016, Uplift All Foundation has offer education services to people experiencing homelessness. We have demonstrated an educational model that bridges people experiencing homelessness with services to reengage self-worth and self-sufficiency.
Uplift All Foundation staff and volunteers achieve this by working directly with the people experiencing homelessness, coordinating various local non-profit services, businesses, public institutions and private citizens to put forth a network process in social re-engagement.
Since 2016, Uplift All Foundation has been working directly with clients to provide job training, writing classes, meditation and yoga classes. To date, we have provided over 600 free education hours for 1000’s of clients annually.
This unique bridge has been built thanks to the consultants and a continual leverage of resources in the City of Stockton.
In 2019, Uplift All Foundation launched the first Mobile Laundromat Program in San Joaquin County. In 2022, we are launching a fleet of three mobile laundrovans, Loads of Hope 1, Loads of Hope 2, and Loads of Hope 3. We have a team of board members, employees, staff, and volunteers working for the success of the program.
G.5. Explain how your agency will implement this program/project and what staff will administer the activities.
How will clients access the program/project?
Each mobile laundromat will be operated with three specific roles.
Attachment A
1031
Printed By: Kayla Martin on 4/1/2022 3 of 5
1. Driver/Laundromat Staff Member: This staff person will be responsible for driving the Loads of Hope Van to the designated areas. Once the mobile laundromat is stationed; this person will collaborate with an assistant to process client requests.
2. Support Staff: The support staff will ride along with the driver/staff member. Upon arrival; together they will set-up, offer the services, and breakdown to return the van to its headquarters.
3. Manager: Uplift All Foundation’s manager will evaluate the city’s high propensity homeless areas and will establish partnerships to park the Loads of Hope Vans within walking distance of those in need. The manager will coordinate all three vans.
The vans will be placed where the homeless population is high. The demand will dictate where we take the laundrovans. Thus, accessibility will not be an issue. The service is free and therefore, cost is not an issue for the homeless.
Project Deliverable # Describe the Deliverable
1 Quantify service locations and loads per location
G.6 Describe how you will measure the effectiveness of this program/project. Describe your criteria for success.
What results do you expect to have achieved at the end of this grant? On a daily basis; the units will park at different locations. Each service recipient will complete an Intake form. The form will consist of the participants information and it will offer a survey to understand the needs of those being served.
The manager will quantify the number of clients served, and enter the survey data to quantify the area need, and measure responses to the surveys. It is difficult to measure prevention, but the feedback we are getting from our clients as to how much they appreciate the services. The value of the service can be validated by the fact that every day we offer the service, clients are waiting for us even before we arrive.
The partner agency services will be orchestrated via Community Based Organization (CBO) to ensure best match for the need of our city's homeless persons.
Deliverable # Task that Support Deliverable
1 By the number of people that are using partner services G.7. Describe the population this program/project will serve and how they will benefit. Does your program target a special group (i.e., homeless, special needs, elderly) that benefits or will benefit from your program? What are your eligibility requirements?
Population: This program is targeting homeless persons. Via research, statistical data, and measurable outcomes; and, we will identify high propensity areas.
Benefits to the recipient: The recipient of the service will lower the risk of infectious disease; while strengthening its self-care. We have no eligibility requirements.
Benefits to the business community: City businesses and City park facilities will have lower encounters of clogged Attachment A
1032

sinks and bathrooms as homeless persons will not be challenged with washing their clothing in public restrooms.
Benefits to the community: personal hygiene plays a major part in lowering the risk of infectious disease. Loads of Hope gives an opportunity to homeless persons to practice personal hygiene.
Benefit to the city: Each load of laundry is about 10-15 pounds; if not washed, clothing would be thrown away as trash on the streets. This reduces garbage on the streets.
Covid-19 vaccinations and testing: We have been successful in encouraging and giving Covid-19 vaccinations to the homeless.
Flu Shots: We are giving flu shots to the homeless. This has helped mitigate the spread of Covid-19 and the flu.
G.8. Briefly explain how this service/activity/project differs from other programs providing similar services in Stockton/San Joaquin County. Also indicate any networking or collaboration which occurs with agencies or programs providing the same or like services AND their role in this specific program/project.
Loads of Hope is the only mobile Laundromat in the City of Stockton offering Free Laundry services to the homeless.
We are taking the services to the homeless.
We collaborate with the following agencies and programs:
1. Downtown Business Alliance (DSA)- The organization has set-up public restrooms and showers which are being used by the homeless population.
2. St. Mary’s Dinning Room – We have a long standing relationship with St. Mary’s and provide ours services on their facilities.

G.9. Describe leveraging or sustainability efforts your organization is implementing to ensure the long-term viability of this program/project.
Uplift All Foundation continuously engaging private donors and corporate funds. This approach brings additional outside of the local jurisdiction support to maintain the operation going beyond the CDBG Grant.
We hold fundraisers to generate income.
We work with local businesses for funding because the program not only helps the homeless, but the community at large.
Community volunteers- We have a strong core of volunteers who are dedicated to the cause.
G.10. Identify any potential conflict of interest with this application for federal funds.

Committed Source: UnidosUS; $241,500 The Status of this source is: Awarded A copy of the Committed Grants Funds is provided as an attachment. It is labeled as: Leveraged Grant Funds-$241,500 UnidosUS-VHB Award Agreement. It is uploaded into the following Application Section: Under Required Documents; Optional Documents.
E.5. What will be the impact on your agency, program, or project goals be if the program is not funded at the full amount requested? Will your organization have the ability to sustain itself if the funding allocated is less than the amount requested? Please provide detailed information to understand if this is a funding gap and/or funds used to leverage additional sources outside of Stockton i.e. County/State/Federal/Private Funds The impact to our agency by not being funded the full amount requested is that we will have longer wait times to serve clients due to the number of staff/HUD Certified Housing Counselors available to assist. Instead of clients being able to meet with a HUD Certified Housing Counselor within 1 to 2 days after they submit an application with their supportive documents, the client may have to wait 3 to 4 days depending on the number of clients/case load a HUD Certified Housing Counselor may be experiencing at the time. Funding our agency at the full amount requested will allow us to hire and retain an adequate staffing level of HUD Certified Housing Counselors and clerical/admin staff to serve Stockton residents.
If the funding allocated is less than requested, our agency can sustain our program however, the program will experience a decrease on the number of clients served due to limited staffing levels created by a funding gap. We anticipate that in the upcoming months due to housing costs and ending of various rental subsidy and mortgage forbearance programs, a large number of renters and homeowners will be seeking our educational and counseling services. Specifically for services under our rental assistance and mortgage delinquency & default resolution programs. Additionally, we anticipate an increase of First Time Homebuyers wanting to purchase a home and seek guidance on how to save money, pay down debt, increase their credit scores and information on Down Payment Assistance Programs by the City of Stockton.
The funding being requested under the City of Stockton CDBG funds FY22-23 is to fill the funding gap identified to operate our program with an adequate staffing capacity. The program cost is: $386,500.
Our agency has already secured and received a commitment from a private funding source in the amount of:
$241,500 from (UnidosUS) located outside of Stockton. Their commitment is 62.5% of the program budget. The remaining funding gap of $145,000 represents 37.5% of the program budget. A copy of the Committed Grants Funds is provided as an attachment. It is labeled as: Leveraged Grant Funds-$241,500 UnidosUS-VHB Award Agreement. It is uploaded into the following Application Section: Under Required Documents; Optional Documents.
E.6. The City’s funding is intended to benefit residents of the City of Stockton. Briefly define your entire service area (e.g., a portion of the city, entire city, county).
Our agencies primary service area is serving the residents of the City Stockton located in San Joaquin County. The methodology that our agency uses to target and delineate the most efficient and effective service coverage area begins at our corporate office within our Homeownership and Rental Center in Downtown Stockton, CA (315 N. San Joaquin Street Stockton, CA 95202). At this location, our Education and Counseling services are carried our in person and via remote virtual video and phone teleconference formats. Our entire service area includes San Joaquin County although our clients served reside in the City of Stockton.
Our agency has provided housing education and counseling services to residents of the City of Stockton since 1999.
Since 2008, our agency has provided Foreclosure Prevention/Default Counseling and foremost has been a local non- profit community builder of Affordable Housing since 1983; over Thirty Nine (39) years, with the majority of developments in the City of Stockton.

management, we help create a housing pathway tailored to individual client needs. The HUD Certified Housing Counselors also help clients identify the root causes of why people lose their housing and empower residents to address and identify various causes of housing instability.
Per the program budget, we will use funds for Direct Program costs and Project Administration. For a specific line items breakdown of costs to be covered by this funding please refer to the Program Budget. It is uploaded into the following Application Section: Project Budget.

E.12. Describe the service delivery methods and outreach your agency will conduct towards your target population in question E.11 above, including to low income, limited English speakers, and disabled persons.
Our agencies outreach efforts will include researching the latest marketing trends that will reach our target population in the City of Stockton consisting of clients that are: Moderate Income (More than 80%), Low Income (50%-80%), Very Low Income (30%-50%) and Extremely Low Income (Less than 30%).
During the previous FY 2021 and into 2022 due to COVID-19 health and safety precautions, our agency pivoted and enhanced our program service delivery model to provide our target populations a safe alternative. We used remote virtual video, phone teleconference formats and if needed an in-person appointment if virtual was not possible by the client. As an organization providing essential services, we adapted to the “new normal” and continued helping our clients, residents and community members with our services. Additionally, our agency was able to provide services to limited English speakers and disabled persons and will continue to do so. We have HUD Certified Counselors on staff that speak Spanish and can deliver these services in house as needed.
For this new FY22-23 grant period we will continue a hybrid of services as it turned out to be a very effective for both clients and staff. We plan to strategize effective ways to communicate and engage with our target populations. We also plan meaningful ways to incorporate the communities participation and input into our activities and services.
Examples of our service delivery methods include as follows:
- Develop and maintained a comprehensive list of resources (employment, education, social services, other transitional supportive housing agencies) available to the community Attachment A

F.6. How was the need for this service/activity/project determined? Describe the challenges, needs or service gaps in Stockton that your program/projects address.
Our agency has been providing Educational and Counseling services since 1999. We are one of the local non-profit HUD Approved agencies in Stockton that provide these services at no cost to to clients.
The need for this service was determined by our agency researching key issues causing housing challenges to residents of the City of Stockton. We conducted informal interviews with our current clients and residents of our multi-family low-income-housing developments and asked what situations they believed lead to residents losing or retaining their housing. We found especially during this time of COVIID-19 Pandemic that a lack of communication between landlord and tenants, fluctuations in job stability and job loss, strained family or roommate relationships, poor spending habits, sudden or long term disability and illness including addictions, and changes in the housing market rates contributed.
The housing issues in Stockton are significant due to several factors including: the high cost of living in the State of California, the relatively affordable pricing of single and multi-family housing units in comparison to surrounding areas located within a one-hour distance radius and the shortage of housing units available in the general Stockton market.
Per an online report provided by Rent Cafe; (https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market- trends/us/ca/sanjoaquin-county/stockton/), 27,192 or 28% of the households in Stockton, CA are renter-occupied while 68,322 or 71% are owner-occupied". Additionally it goes on to say that "the average rent for an apartment in Stockton is $1,503 for a Average Apartment Size of 788 sq. ft.".
Attachment A

Due to a shortage of low-to-moderate income housing it has led to an increase in homelessness in the City of Stockton. Per the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care; 2019 Point in Time Count of the Sheltered and Unsheltered Homeless; (http://www.sanjoaquincoc.org/point-in-time-sjc/), the San Joaquin Continuum of Care counted 1,558 unsheltered homeless individuals living within the geographic region of San Joaquin County. Of those, 59% were in the City of Stockton.
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need for affordable housing and resources to programs and services that help individuals and families in need. Per an online report provided by Bloomberg CityLab; (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-07-06/why-is-homelessness-such-a-problem-in-u-s-cities), "the coronavirus pandemic has created unprecedented new homelessness policy challenges" and further points out that "homeless advocates are concerned that once coronavirus-related rent and mortgage forbearance policies expire, many more people could be driven into homelessness".
The strain of homelessness in the community has led to issues of blight, economic insecurities, health and safety concerns and an overall sense that there is a lack of progress. We want to help make a difference in our community to provide stability to current and prospective Homeowners and Renters through our Educational and Counseling programs.

G. Project Narrative
Please provide the following information.
G.1. How would you characterize your program/project based on the continuum of approaches to housing and public service needs listed below: (Select Top Three)
PREVENTION - Helps prevent a problem before it emerges EARLY INTERVENTION - Addresses a problem in its early manifestation to keep it from becoming worse TRANSITION - Helps move clients toward a better situation, lower level of need, etc. MAINTENANCE - Helps to ensure that clients do not decline, etc. SELF-SUFFICIENCY - Helps move clients toward a situation in which they will no longer need the program or service
STABILIZATION - Helps clients attain stability so that they can work toward a better situation G.2. Describe in detail how the program/project will address each of the 3 housing and public service needs selected above (i.e. how it specifically addresses prevention/early intervention etc.) Through the VHB Homeownership and Rental Center: Education, Counseling and Program Enrollment Services program, we are addressing the following three (3) continuum of approaches to housing and public service needs:
Prevention, Self-Sufficiency and Stabilization. Examples for each are below:
Prevention: Preventing housing instability would also alleviate strain on local programs and services that are overwhelmed with current demand.
Self Sufficiency: By teaching individuals and families healthy financial habits and how to navigate and understand various housing programs and resources available to them (local, state and federal) by preparing participants of the program to make the best choices for themselves.
Stabilization: Our agency assess household needs to eligible individuals and families who are in danger of eviction and to stabilize those who are most at risk of losing their housing. Through effective client management, we help create a housing pathway tailored to individual and family needs. Our Housing Counselors also help clients identify the root causes of why people lose their housing and empower residents to address and identify various causes of housing instability.

For additional details please refer to the VHB HC Dept-Annual Work Plan FY 2020_20210407 document under the Required Document Section, Optional Documents "Program policies and procedures for those programs that you are applying for assistance/funding".
Work to be Performed: (Activity 2: Other):
Intake: The typical entry point is a walk-in, picking up/downloading from our website an application or phone call prompted by hearing about our services by word of
mouth, referral by a city or county down payment assistance program, a lender, a realtor, a community presentation with community partners or at a local church or
club, a radio or TV PSA, etc. An Intake Specialist, Counselor or administrative staff person who is trained in requirements of the Privacy Act obtains and or reviews the completed Education and Counseling Programs Application Packet with Disclosure Statements and Third Party Authorization for Services. This basic information review is used to determine if the agency can assist a potential client, schedule an appointment with a housing Attachment A

counselor or refer the potential client to other resources. If the potential client is eligible, basic information gathered from their application will be entered into the Client Management system (CMS). This client intake process is housing counseling and is reported to HUD under housing counseling activities.
Work to be Performed: (Activity 1: Households)
Initial Session: At their one-on-one appointment via in person or alternative location/setting format for cases in which the agency and the client mutually agree on the need for an alternative setting or alternative format (which can include: Telephonic, Remote systems, Virtual/Video Conferencing using Skype, Google Hangouts, Zoom technology, other platforms, video cameras and the internet), and cases in which the agency’s facilities are not accessible by which are mutually acceptable
to the housing counselor and client. a. The client meets individually with a pre-purchase housing counselor. During this appointment, the client’s situation is assessed as far as their goals, credit history, income and expenses. An assessment is made to determine when they might be able to purchase a home and how much mortgage they can afford. Together with their housing counselor, a work plan is created which will allow the client to reach their goal of homeownership. If the client is already mortgage ready, we give them a list of at least three lenders to go mortgage shopping. We follow those clients through their home purchase and encourage them to come in for another appointment to review their loan documents. For those clients who are not mortgage ready, a work plan is created for them to become mortgage ready.
Work to be Performed: (Activity 1 Households / Activity 2: Other) Follow-Up: VHB counselors will make a reasonable effort to have follow-up communication with the client, to assure that the client is progressing toward his or her housing goal, to modify or terminate housing counseling, and to learn and report outcomes. Client follow-up should be conducted by a qualified housing counselor.
The counselor should make reasonable efforts to conduct a verbal (in person, phone or virtual/video conferencing) follow-up session within the first 60 days of no client contact. If unsuccessful, after two attempts to conduct a verbal follow-up session, the counselor must write a letter or send an e-mail to the client stating that such efforts have been made and inform the client that there is a need for follow-up communication. The letter will request that the client contact the housing counseling agency no later than 30 days from the date of the letter, to help the agency assess if additional client services are necessary to assist them in achieving their housing goals or if services should be terminated. Issuing surveys to assess housing outcomes does not fully meet the requirement for client follow up.
Hiring a third party agency to conduct follow-up services is prohibited.
Work to be Performed: (Activity 1 Households / Activity 2: Other) Termination of Counseling/Resolution: The housing counseling agency will document in the clients file when housing counseling services are terminated. The housing counselor must notate the Clients file with the date and cause/explanation of termination. Client files must not remain open indefinitely. The counselor must make reasonable efforts to conduct a verbal (in person, phone or virtual/video conferencing) follow-up session within the first 60 days of no client contact. If unsuccessful, after several attempts to conduct a verbal follow-up session, the counselor will write a letter or send an email to the client stating that such efforts have been made and inform the client that there is a need for follow-up communication. The letter must request that the client contact the housing counseling agency no later than 30 days from the date of the letter, to help the agency assess if additional client services are necessary to assist them in achieving their housing goals or if services should be terminated. If the agency does not have any client contact within a 90-day period, the agency must not bill or count that client as an active file against any future billing periods unless client contact is reinitiated.
Goals, Objectives and Expected Outcomes: Follow ups calls are made to check progress against the work plan. Some clients are ready within 6 months; others may take up to two years. Follow up appointments are made to keep the Attachment A
1063
Printed By: Kayla Martin on 4/1/2022 4 of 7
client on track. If a client does not return for their follow up appointment, we use HUD’s 3 touch rule to try to regain contact. If after the 3rd contact the client is not responding, the file is closed. On average, the pre-purchase counselor spends about 3 hours on a client who is mortgage ready. For a client who is not mortgage ready, approximately another 2 hours is spent every 4 to 6 months.

Please provide the following information.
J.1. Identify AT LEAST ONE barrier in implementing your program/project:
A marketing and publicity campaign that provides consumers with additional education and information about the agency’s programs and services.
Coordination and collaboration with other service providers. Accessing and utilizing “un-tapped” resources
Removing barriers that limit access to services and participation (e.g. language, time, cost, transportation, etc.).
J.2. Describe in detail how the program/project will address the barrier selected in question I.1.
We will reach out to community partners and funders for any advise/suggestions to help ensure our program is meeting the needs of the community.
Our agency collaborates with various local non-profits (i.e. El Concilio and Community Partnership for Families of San Joaquin County) and governmental agencies (i.e. Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin and San Joaquin Fair Housing) and refers clients to services that we believe may assist the client further beyond/in addition to the service that we offer.

This would be the in person option for clients that were not able to have access to to an electronic device (mobile phone, tablet, computer) that would allow them to be provided services via Virtual format. If they do not have an electronic device or want to participate with the Counselor in person, we would explore alternatives that would work for the client and counselor an effort to provide the service without incurring a transportation barrier to the client.

Staff reviews the agencies programmatic, fiscal management, and performance goals; this information is factored into the Community Development Committee’s (CDC) discussion and evaluation of the agencies future request for funding through the annual grant application process. The CDC and staff also use this information to recommend grant funding to the City Council.
The City's performance relative to its annual objectives can be reviewed in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) that is prepared following the completion of the fiscal year and submitted to HUD.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
Summary from citizen participation section of plan.
The goals and priorities in the FY 2022-23 Action Plan were developed through a series of public hearings and outreach conducted by the City and the Community Development Committee when developing the Five-Year Consolidated Plan FY 2020-2025.
The planning process for the development of this Annual Action Plan began in December 2021 with published notices and direct e-mails to the City’s housing and community development distribution list providing notification that the City was accepting applications for funding under the CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs through January 31, 2022. The notifications reached over two hundred agencies, individuals, and stakeholders.
HUD regulations for the development of the Consolidated Plan, which is the basis for the Annual Action Plan requires jurisdictions to reach out to, and consult with, other public and private agencies and organizations to collect information regarding need, to identify available resources and gaps in the institutional delivery structure, and to coordinate the development of funding allocation priorities, performance standards, and evaluation outcomes. To prepare the Consolidated and Action Plans, the Exhibit 1
1083
3 City’s consultant met one-on-one with agencies and organizations located throughout the city and county, including public and assisted housing providers, an assortment of government agencies, as well as private and public health, mental health, and social service agencies. Additionally, the City held four focus group meetings with stakeholders other than those targeted for direct consultation, though anyone with an interest in the Consolidated Plan was encouraged to attend. The focus groups were organized around four general topic areas that expanded beyond the content covered by the one-on- one consultations. These included housing, business development, economic development, and issues pertinent to the Central City. The focus group meetings were open to the public and advertised in the local newspaper. City staff also reached out to a variety of stakeholders directly to encourage their participation. In most cases, the consultations and focus group discussions represented a continuation of the ongoing interactions and dialogue between the City and local stakeholder groups.
Th
e City held an application workshop in December 2021. Notices regarding the workshop were mailed directly to agencies on the City’s Economic and Housing distribution list and published in the local newspaper ‘The Record’ prior to the workshop.
Following the application submission period of January 24, 2022, funding requests were reviewed by staff and members of the CDC. Applications were reviewed for compliance with appropriate Federal regulations, Council
-ad
opted local community development objectives, and consistency with the priorities and objectives contained in the 2022-202
3 Consolidated Plan.
Th
e public will have two opportunities to review the proposed FY 2022-23 Action Plan. A 30-day public review period on the draft FY 2022-23 Action Plan will occur from April 3, 2022, through May 3, 2022.
Furthermore, the draft Action Plan will be reviewed at a public hearing at the City Council's May 3, 2022, meeting. The public hearing was noticed to the public in The Record as well as the local Spanish newspaper, Latino Times. The draft Stockton Action Plan was made available for public review at the Economic Development Department front counter and online.
5. Summary of public comments
This could be a brief narrative summary or reference an attached document from the Citizen Participation section of the Con Plan.
A summary of the public comments to the Annual Action Plan will be included as an attachment to this Plan at the conclusion of the public review period on May 3, 2022. It will include any public comments received at the Stockton City Council's Public Hearing held on May 3, 2022.
6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them.
Not applicable, all comments are received for consideration.
Exhibit 1
1084
4 7. Summary
The Stockton 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan represent refined and updated versions of the City’s prior planning document and therefore do not represent a major shift in strategic direction. Programs to preserve, enhance, and increase the supply of housing affordable to lower- income households remain a priority; however, emphasis is placed on a holistic approach to overall community development. This entails providing housing opportunities for vulnerable populations, and emergency shelter and transitional housing as a priority. The Consolidated Plan supports these residents by fostering a system of supportive services, and by directing public investments, such as improved public infrastructure, facilities, and services, where they can benefit the City’s lower- and moderate-income populations. At the same time, efforts to provide expanded business assistance and educational opportunities for workers and entrepreneurs will help to provide increased opportunities for residents to improve their economic self-sufficiency, so that resources made available pursuant to the Consolidated Plan can be provided to those most in need of assistance.

1. Introduction
The planning process required under HUD regulations for the development of the Action Plan requires jurisdictions to reach out to, and consult with, other public and private agencies and organizations to collect information on need, to identify available resources and gaps in the official delivery structure, and to coordinate the development of funding allocation priorities, performance standards, and evaluation outcomes. The Plan itself must include a summary of the consultation process, including the identification of participating agencies and organizations, as well as a summary of efforts to enhance coordination between public and private entities.
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(l)).
To facilitate the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, the City of Stockton consulted one-on-one with various agencies and organizations located throughout the city and county, including public and assisted housing providers and developers, an assortment of government agencies, as well as private and public health, mental health, and social service agencies. These consultations represent a continuation of ongoing interactions between the City and the agency or organizations described. For a complete list of those contacted for participation in Consolidated Plan consultations, please refer to Table 2, below.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
Consultation and coordination with the Continuum of Care (CoC) representatives is a fundamental component of the plan development process. Efforts to address the needs of homeless persons are described in greater detail throughout the remainder of the Consolidated Plan. The San Joaquin County Community Development Department is the lead agency for the San Joaquin County Continuum of Care (CoC), which represents a consortium of local government agencies and non-profit organizations, encompassing all jurisdictions in San Joaquin County, including the City of Stockton. In addition to coordinating plan development with the available information from the CoC application, the City also conducted consultations with a variety of consortia members, including San Joaquin County, the Central Valley Low Income Housing Corporation (CVLIHC), the Stockton Shelter for the Homeless, the Women's Center - YFS, and Dignity's Alcove Veterans Housing, among other important organizations and agencies.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, and policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting.
The planning process for the development of this Annual Action Plan began in December 2021 with published notices and direct emails providing notification that the City was accepting applications for funding under the CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs through January 31, 2022. The CDBG and ESG NOFA, in combination with a Needs Assessment Hearing, held in November 2019, allowed agencies and interested citizens the opportunity to express their comments, concerns, and thoughts on the housing and community development needs of the community.
Fo
llowing the application submission period, funding requests were reviewed by staff and members of the Community Development Committee (CDC). Applications were reviewed for compliance with appropriate Federal regulations, Council-ado
pted local community development objectives, and
consistency with the priorities and objectives contained in the 2020-2 025 Consolidated Plan. In
addition, each application was assessed for demonstration of need; project readiness, capacity, and experience; measurable outcomes, objectives, and low-moderate income benefit; and applicants’ experience with managing government grants and leveraging resources. The CDC held two public meetings on March 3, 2022, and March 15, 2022, which resulted in recommendations to the Council on the use of funds.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied:
The City will leverage its CDBG, ESG, and HOME Investment Partnership program entitlement funding with State resources that include: Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) program funding, and Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program funding, and Low- Income Housing Tax Credit program funding. The State funding sources are allocated solely for housing projects and/or programs capital projects that support human services projects that target very low and low-income persons; and Social Opportunity Endowment (SOE) funds are allocated to public service programs that assist very low and low-income persons. HOME Investment Partnership funds are allocated to projects that provide tenant-based rental assistance to formerly homeless persons and those at risk of homelessness. In some instances, City surplus General funds are used for specific projects and homeless services.

Introduction
This section of the Stockton Action Plan includes the proposed projects and activities to be undertaken by the City of Stockton that will implement its Housing and Community Development activity plan contained in the FY 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan. The projects described in this section are funded with FY 2022-2023 federal funding from the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). Additionally, a number of projects the City is funding are through its state-allocated funding sources such as the Housing and Homeless Assistance Program (HHAP) and the Permanent Local Housing Assistance program (PLHA).
The projects and programs that the City funded with CDBG, HOME and ESG funds during the previous fiscal years have contributed toward substantial improvements in the lives and neighborhoods of Stockton’s low
-inc
ome residents and provided various safety net programs, safe, decent housing for many who would not otherwise be able to afford it. The programs and activities funded in the FY 2022- 2023 Act
ion Plan will build on these prior successes and continue to meet the objectives of the 2020- 202

Table 7 ‐ Project Information
Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs.
The C
ity has identified the lack of sufficient funding as the greatest obstacle to meeting the underserved needs in the community. Over the past several years, the CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs have experienced funding reductions. The City will continue to apply for funding and/or support applications by othfrom organizations to expand affordable housing opportunities, homeless assistance, and supportive services, and to meet the other needs of the low-in come residents and neighborhoods. The
funding is allocated to a variety of housing and public service projects/programs and activities to help address the priority needs identified in the City's Five-Year Consolidated Plan. Federal funding is leveraged by local and state funding sources.
Barriers
to addressing underserved needs include:
Reduced levels of federal CDBG, ESG, and HOME funding.
A shortage of affordable housing targeting very low-income and working-class households compared to the growing demand (households with incomes at or below 50 percent of the AMI).
Significant increases in the cost of fair market rents.
A significant decrease in community resources resulted in a declining or stagnating supply of services due to a lack of available supportive services funding.
Increased demand for services is due to population growth between 2010 and 2018 in Stockton, particularly in low-income areas.

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low‐inc ome and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The City does not allocate funds to specific geographic target areas; rather, the City makes resources available on a city-wide basis but provides additional outreach and recruitment in areas with high concentrations of unmet needs. Organizations that are awarded program and/or project funding may have their headquarter offices located in other cities within San Joaquin County; however, all Stockton- funded activities are required to serve only City of Stockton eligible households.
Exhibit 1
1121
41 Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
Citywide 100%
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Th
e City of Stockton allocates resources on a citywide basis. For example, the housing rehabilitation programs, and down-pay
ment assistance programs are equally available to qualifying residents in all geographic subareas, with eligibility being determined based on the income of the household receiving assistance. Households with the greatest demonstrated unmet need generally receive higher priority for assistance. Additional preference is given to households residing in areas with disproportionately high concentrations of low
- an
d moderate-in
come households, minority households, and/or households experiencing HUD-de
fined housing problems, such as those areas identified under subsection MA-5 0 of
the Consolidated Plan. Projects located in areas that correspond with other related or complementary programs and/or projects also receive additional preference or priority consideration. For example, funding for the rehabilitation of existing rental housing, that would be affordable to low - an
d moderate-
inc
ome households and located in areas targeted for crime abatement activities under the Stockton Marshall Plan would receive higher priority than projects located in other areas.

Introduction
Th
e City of Stockton and the Housing Authority of San Joaquin County (Housing Authority) maintain a strong partnership built on the common goal and priority of providing affordable housing opportunities for Stockton’s low-income residents. Within the last five years, the Housing Authority has applied for affordable housing funding through the City of Stockton’s NOFA process and has been awarded upwards of $4.5 million to assist in the financing of three of its affordable housing projects. A Housing Authority city-funded project includes phases II and III of their 394-un it Sierra Vista housing complex targeting
extremely low-income households at 30% AMI. As well as the demolition and rehabilitation of its Conway Homes project a 9-unit development.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing.
The City plans to issue a NOFA in the upcoming year that the Housing Authority will be eligible to apply for funding. Additionally, the Housing Authority recently applied for funding for two of its pipeline affordable housing developments Sonora Square Apartments and Conway Homes projects that are progressing through the funding process. Once completed, the Housing Authority will be able to offer upward of sixty-four (64) more units to low-income families.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership.
The City continues to maintain a partnership with the local Housing Authority to assist public housing residents to achieve homeownership. The City’s Down Payment Assistance Program funds can be used in conjunction with the Housing Authority’s homebuyer program funds including the Housing Choice Voucher Program.
Under the Housing Authority’s homeownership program, assistance is available to Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) participants who meet the homeownership eligibility requirements. The homeownership program allows first-time homebuyers to use the voucher subsidy to meet monthly homeownership expenses. HCV participants interested in applying for the HCV Homeownership program must meet the following program criteria:
• Must be a participant in the HCV program for at least one year in San Joaquin County. • Must be a first-time homebuyer.
• Meet the minimum employment and income requirements.
• Must be employed for at least 30 hours per week (except for disabled). • Must earn at least $11,310 annually (welfare income not included). • Must not have defaulted on a mortgage under the HCV Homeownership Program.
Exhibit 1

43 The homeownership program has a maximum term of 15 years. There are exceptions for disabled families. This program is limited.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance.

AP‐65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
Th
e City will utilize Emergency Solutions Grant funds to assist in funding the operation of emergency homeless shelters, funding the building and expansion of low-barrier shelters, implementing Homeless Prevention, and Rapid Re-Ho
using activities which will assist in reducing and preventing homelessness.
The City of Stockton works with the San Joaquin Continuum of Care (CoC) to implement policies, and procedures and establish performance standards for those agencies providing services to address the needs of the homeless persons and as identified in the Continuum’s planning guidelines. The CoC is a consortium of local government agencies, non-pr
ofit organizations, and other interested parties,
encompassing all jurisdictions in San Joaquin County, including the City of Stockton. They hold meetings that are open to all homeless providers, and that serves as a venue for ongoing program planning and coordination and feedback for addressing homelessness across all ages. The CoC has identified the following homeless performance measures goals:
1. Red
uction in the average and median length of time persons remain homeless.
2. Reduction in the percentage of persons who return to homelessness from permanent housing.
3. Reduction in the total number of persons who are homeless.
4. Increase in the percent of adults who gain or increase employment or non-employment cash income over time.
5. Reduction in the number of persons who become homeless for the first time.
6. Increase in the percent of persons who exit to or retain permanent housing from PSH.
7. Reduce the number of people living unsheltered in our community.
8. Increase the number of units available to those exiting homelessness.
Additionally, CVLIHC, which serves as the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) lead, and the Family Resources and Referral Center, which serves as the organization responsible for implementing the Coordinated Entry System and assisting in the development of its policies and procedures as well as establishing coordinated partnerships between all organizations, agencies and local shelters and service providers as part of the CES Committee that reports to the Continuum of Care Exhibit 1
1124
44 (CoC). CVLIHC will continue to conduct outreach to the shelters to notify them of the activities and the process for making referrals to the various programs.
In keeping with the goals of the CoC, Central Valley Low Income Housing Corporation (CVLIHC), recently completed Phase 1 of their Town Center Studios project. The goal of this project is to convert a hotel into studio apartments for use by the unhoused chronically homeless and at-risk of homelessness population. Through the completion of Phase I, CVLIHC has been able to offer housing to 27 individuals across 20 units. Currently, they will be embarking upon Phase II where they will provide another 20 available units.
Describe the jurisdictions one‐year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs.
The C
oC recently conducted the 2022 Point-in-Ti
me Count (PIT) which, utilized methods of outreach that were considerably improved over prior years. Thus, the PIT identified a slightly larger population of unsheltered homeless, compared to prior years. Based on this significantly improved response rate, the CoC can prepare more detailed and comprehensive estimates of needs, including an analysis of needs by type (e.g., housing, social services, etc.), as well as needs based on the characteristics of the respondent (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, veterans’ status, disability status, etc.). These data can subsequently be used to better assess the needs of the unsheltered homeless and can be used to direct any indicated changes in service provision. This is particularly valuable since unsheltered homeless are frequently among the hardest to reach regarding available services.
Th
e following represents a list of actions to be taken during the five-ye ar planning period designed to
improve outreach to homeless persons, especially unsheltered persons, as well as those who are at risk of homelessness. Note that these actions are not only designed to promote outreach that both identifies and quantifies needs, but also offer opportunities to inform the homeless regarding available resources for service populations. Additional outreach is undertaken with homeless persons and families residing in emergency shelters and transitional housing. However, because these persons are entering a facility, it is much easier to access these individuals using existing tools, such as entrance and exit surveys, and one
-on-on
e education.

AP‐75 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
It is often in the public interest for local governments to impose regulations concerning the scope and characteristics of development as a method for protecting public health and general welfare. However, government regulations, policies, and procedures can also act to constrain the development of otherwise desirable land uses. Regulations designating the type and location of housing, for example, Exhibit 1
1125
45 can
potentially constrain the ability of housing developers to provide higher-density housing that would be more affordable to lower-inc
ome households. Similarly, building codes and other requirements can significantly increase the cost to develop housing, or make the development process so arduous as to discourage potential housing developers. California housing law requires that each jurisdiction include an analysis of governmental constraints to affordable housing development as a required component of the adopted General Plan Housing Element. The remainder of this section presents a summary of the major findings identified under the Potential Housing Constraints Section of the City of Stockton Housing Element. To the degree practicable, the analysis also includes a discussion of the actions to be taken to overcome these constraints, as identified in the Housing Element.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment.
Th
e Housing Element of the City of Stockton General Plan, adopted in April 2016, provides a thorough analysis of the existing policy barriers to affordable housing development. An analysis of the permitted densities and development standards identified that the adopted Code facilitates the production of a variety of housing types, with residential development permitted in non-res idential and mixed-us
e
zones, with permitted densities up to 87 units per acre Downtown. The Housing Element states that the City applies flexible development standards for infill housing projects to encourage the development of underutilized properties, however, development standards may be modified to create consistency with surrounding development and physical site constraints. The Housing Element determined that the City’s overall parking standards did not constitute a constraint, nor does processing and permitting. Since the last Housing Element, the City’s Affordable Housing Density Bonus has been made consistent with State law. It allows for a density bonus of up to 35 percent and allows developers that are eligible for a density bonus to receive up to three additional incentives.
The C
ity adopted a Development Code amendment in 2016 to be consistent with State law to allow emergency shelters by right, without discretionary review, in the PF, IL, and IG zone. Per the San Joaquin Partnership’s Regional Development Fee Comparative Analysis Report (June 2013), the City of Stockton’s fees for a single
-family
dwelling was the second-highest of all the San Joaquin County jurisdictions but were about average for all 21 jurisdictions included in the analysis. To promote affordable housing, the City established a fee reduction program for developers of affordable housing units. Developers of multi-family housing developments can receive a fee reduction of $14,997 per unit and a fee reduction of $19,997 for single-family residential development.
Ba
sed on an analysis of the permitted densities and development standards, the City has found that the General Plan and Development Code facilitates the production of a variety of housing types. The City allows residential development in non-res
idential and mixed-us
e zones and permits densities as high as
87 units per acre in the downtown area. Additionally, the City has flexible development standards to encourage the development of small infill parcels.
Exhibit 1
1126
46 Recent state legislation provides clarification and fee assistance for the creation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) with two separate bills signed on October 8, 2017: SB 229 (Wieckowski) and AB 494 (Bl
oom). These bills, effective January 1, 2018, clarify and improve various provisions of the law to promote the development of ADUs, including allowing ADUs to be built concurrently with a single-fam ily
home, opening areas where ADUs can be built to include all zoning districts that allow single-fam ily uses,
modifying fees from utilities, such as special districts and water corporations, and reducing parking requirements. In 2018, City Council accept the Planning Commission's recommendation and adopt an Ordinance to amend Title 16 of the Stockton Municipal Code, Section 16.80.310, "Secondary Dwelling Units;" and Section 16.240.020, "Definitions of Specialized Terms and Phrases;" to comply with state planning and zoning law (Government Code Section 65852.2).

Introduction
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs.
Th
e City will work in partnership with its non-pr
ofit and public service agencies to address the needs of the underserved populations in the City of Stockton. The City will fund several agencies that provide food, assistance, shelter, and/or services for the homeless, elderly, and working poor.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing.
The City will leverage funds we receive with other resources and use our programs in conjunction with other city initiatives, including our single-fam
ily rehabilitation program. The City will continue to use its Notice of Funding Availability NOFA process to solicit eligible affordable housing projects to fund.
Actions planned to reduce lead‐based paint hazards.
The a
ctions described in the Lead-Based Paint Hazards section of the Consolidated Plan will be carried out as needed during FY 2022-23. T
he City complies with all federal requirements related to the prevention of lead-ba
sed paint poisoning as provided in the Residential Lead-Ba sed Paint Hazard Act of
1992, also commonly referred to as Title X, Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.
Additionally, the City of Stockton collaborates with the following agencies to identify and reduce lead- ba
sed paint incidences: The Housing Authority, San Joaquin County Public Health Services, and San Joaquin County Environmental Health.
Th
e City of Stockton becomes involved in lead-bas
ed paint hazard evaluation and reduction because of
its implementation and operation of federally funded projects such as CDBG and HOME that require lead-based evaluations for existing housing units built before 1950. Single-family owner-occupied housing projects that are to be rehabilitated are inspected and tested for lead-bas ed paint hazards.
Based on the test results, any identified hazards are remediated prior to unit occupancy.

To encourage a variety of project types and locations, the City's HOME program does not limit beneficiaries. Applications are made available electronically through the City's online grant application program Neighborly. The competitive applications are reviewed by City staff and/or a committee of regional housing experts and representatives from the community. The applications are next scored through set criteria, including eligible uses, commitment and expenditure deadlines, developer capacity, experience, concurrence with established goals and policies, leveraging, or other requirements.
Recommendations concerning funding are then made to the City Council, which holds a publicly noticed hearing to vote on moving forward with the recommended allocations. The City uses a variety of methods to conduct outreach to consumers for all our housing programs, including the (DAP).
Information about all the housing programs is posted on the City’s website. Economic Development Department staff also participates in various housing workshops and homeownership fairs throughout the year. Notices of these events are sent to the Housing Authority. Advertisements and public notices are also run-in local newspapers, including the local Spanish newspaper.
Exhibit 1
1129
49 To
ensure that households utilizing the City’s DAP are ready to undertake and maintain homeownership, the City requires that all households must have completed a minimum eight classroom-ho ur homebuyer
training course given by a HUD-app
roved trainer prior to the close of escrow. The City also ensures that the households become successful homeowners by making sure that the home they are purchasing is affordable for them. The total housing cost cannot exceed 35 percent of the household’s income and their total debt cannot exceed 41 percent of their income.
Wh
en HOME funds are allocated for homebuyer assistance or for the rehabilitation of owner-oc cupied
single-family properties, the City utilizes the HOME affordable homeownership annual limits provided by HUD for newly constructed housing and for existing housing.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
Recapture of HOME Subsidy
The City of Stockton’s Down Payment Assistance Program requires that units assisted with HOME funds must remain affordable to low-income purchasers for a period based upon the amount of HOME funds provided for the property. To ensure compliance with this affordability period, down payment assistance recapture provisions, are incorporated into each property loan and regulatory agreement.
Repayment of the HOME subsidy and any accrued interest is due upon the sale or transfer of the property during the affordability period. When the recapture requirement is triggered by a sale (voluntary or involuntary), and there are insufficient net proceeds to repay the City’s HOME investment, the City will accept any amount of net proceeds (net proceeds are defined as the sales price minus any senior loan repayment and any closing costs). The City will reinvest these recaptured subsidies into other eligible housing activities.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
Marketing and Outreach for HOME funded projects
The City’s Affirmative Marketing Policy has been in use since 2000 and is made a part of all HOME agreements for projects of five or more units. The purpose of the policy is to assure that individuals who normally might not apply for vacant units because they are socially and/or economically disadvantaged be informed of vacancies, be encouraged to apply, and have an equal opportunity to rent units. The policy establishes methods for informing the public about fair housing laws and affirmative marketing policies; procedures to be used by owners to solicit applications; records that must be maintained; and how the City will assess the success of affirmative marketing actions.
Th
e City also ensures that outreach to minority and women-ow ned businesses occur for the issuance of
all contracts. The City has adopted Affirmative Outreach Action Guidelines for use with all federally Exhibit 1
1130
50 funded projects.
Affirmative action requirements are also included in all subrecipient agreements to ensure that if subrecipients are hiring contractors and subcontractors, they adhere to the provisions of the City’s Affirmative Action Program and meet all federal requirements.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
For multi-family projects in the City of Stockton, when loaning HOME funds to rehabilitate the units if refinancing is necessary to permit or continue affordability under § 92.252, with a minimum affordability period of 15 years. The project application must demonstrate: that rehabilitation is the primary eligible activity and ensure that this requirement is met by establishing a minimum level of rehabilitation per unit or a required ratio between rehabilitation and refinancing; require a review of management practices to demonstrate that disinvestment in the property has not occurred, that the long term needs of the project can be met and that the feasibility of serving the targeted population over an extended affordability period can be demonstrated; state whether the new investment is being made to maintain currently affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both; insure that HOME funds cannot be used to refinance multi-family loans made or insured by any Federal program, including CDBG.
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)
1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment)
See Attached, Appendix C.
2. If t
he Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.
While there is no formal central intake system within the San Joaquin Continuum of Care, all homeless services providers, including those providing homeless prevention and rapid re-ho using
assistance, utilize the same HMIS. With single sub-recipient administering prevention and re- housing efforts, a single assessment tool is used for these activities. Further development and improvement of the current HMIS are underway.
3. Identi
fy the process for making sub‐aw
ards and describe how the ESG allocation
available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith‐bas ed
organizations) will be allocated:
Exhibit 1
1131
51 The City of Stockton will implement the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program in accordance with The McKinney-Ve
nto Homeless Assistance Act as Amended by S.896 HEARTH Act of 2009, found at 24 CFR Part 576, to ensure eligible activities are selected and financially managed in accordance with local and federal requirements.

52 4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405 (a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
The goal of the CoC is to coordinate local efforts to identify and address the needs of the homeless population, provide coordinated outreach services, and to identify gaps and shortfalls where additional resources and coordination may be necessary. The CoC incorporates the resources and efforts of a wide variety of organizations and agencies. These include the Central Valley Low Income Housing Corporation (CVLIHC), the Stockton Shelter for the Homeless, the Women’s Center - YFS
, the Gospel
Center Rescue Mission, the Saint Mary’s Dining Hall, and Dignity’s Alcove Veterans Housing, among other important organizations and agencies. Information is collected through direct outreach, during Point in Time counts, and data entry into the HMIS system.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.
As the largest city within the San Joaquin CoC area, the City of Stockton maintains a seat on the CoC governing body and participates in consultation with the San Joaquin County Community Development Department, and other participating agencies and organizations, regarding the coordination of ESG funding, including how ESG funds are allocated and the identification of performance standards and evaluation outcomes. Under the CoC, the primary contact for the collaborative application is the Central Valley Low Income Housing Corporation (CVLIHC), which is also responsible for administration of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

1. While there is no formal central intake system within the San Joaquin Continuum of Care, all homeless services providers, including those providing homeless prevention and rapid re housing assistance, utilize the same HMIS. . With a single subrecipient administering prevention and re-housing efforts, a sin!Jie assessment tool is used for these activities, In addition, the City of Stockton is working with the San Joaquin Contin1,Jum · of Care to t!evelop arid implement a formal coordinated assessment tool and process for use by all providers. 2, The City of Stockton uses the same process to select the CDBG arid ESG. subrecipients; A Notice of Funding Availability was Issued in December 17, 2021 notifying Interested organizations that the funding Would be available. Upon receipt of applications, City staff niel with the Community Development Committee (CDC), a citizen's advisory group, on February 10, and March 3, 2022 and reviewed the CDBG/ESG applications and made recommendations which were Exhibit 1
1136
forwarded to the City Council with a recommendation to increase or decrease any final funding allocations on a pro rata basis, A public hearing before the City Council will be held on May 3, 2022 at which time the Council will be asked to approve the allocation of ESG funds.
4. All ESG subrecipient organizations have homelessor formerly homeless individuals as · members oltheir Boards of Directors. Through coordliJ�llcil) with the San Joaquin Continuum of Care, input on programs and policies from homeless•a'ffd/or fonmerly homeless persons is provided regarding decisions on tihe use of ESG funds. ·
5. Perfonmance standards for the ESG Rapid Re-housing and Homeless Prevention actiyities are based on standards used In evaluating HPRP performance and were develo�d in coordination with the San Joaquin.Continuum of Care. These measures take into account the reduced level of funding that is available through the ESG program tihan was available through the HPRP. Specific performance measures focus on housing stability and recidivism, which are linked together; measurement is possible because all homeless service providers in the Continuum of Care participate in the HMIS.
Housing Stability: 70% of program participant households will maintain housing stability for 6 months following the end of rental as.sistance.
Mea.surement: Percentage of program participant households who maintain tenancy for 6 months following the end cif rental assistance.
Recidivism: Less th an 30% of pro gram participant households will experience a subsequent episode of homelessness as evidenced by their return to emergency shelter.
Measurement: Total number of adult program participants with successful exits from the program (witih a successful housing outcome) that had an emergency shelter stay of at least 1 night within 6 months of exiting the program The City and the San Joaquin Continuum of Care will continue to discuss and examine additional, feasible performance standards. Other standards will be considered as the .programs evolve.
'fhe City of Stocl(\or:t and the San Joaquin Continuum of Care have worked together to develop the poHcies and procedures that have been developed for ESG activities �nd to discuss the basic allocation.of ESG funds. Meetings focused on how to replicate the successes of the joint HPRP effort of San Joaquin County and the City of Stockton. Based ori HPRP results, there was a general conclusion that the most effective use of ESG funds would be to continue the providing funding to the homeless shelters at essentially the same level as in prior years, with the rerr:iaining funding going to continue the homeless prevention and re-housing program as inltially implemented in 2009. However, specific allocations of funds were made by the CDC and the City Council as described previously.
