H. SELF- EVALUATION <br />HUD requires that the City evaluate its annual accomplishments by comparing planned <br />activities versus actual outcomes, and to also evaluate if progress was made toward meeting <br />Consolidated Plan goals. To assist with this evaluation, HUD has suggested the City should <br />consider the following questions: <br />1. Are activities and strategies making an impact on identified needs? <br />Most activities funded with HUD and other public resources have made an impact during the <br />report period, for example: <br />■ The use of public funds helped to expand and preserve the City's affordable housing stock <br />by assisting 70 housing units during 2008 - 2009.9 The City's housing stock was also <br />preserved via the inspection of 6,046 housing units for code violations. While the City made <br />ADDI resources available to expand homeownership opportunities, no households accessed <br />funds. <br />■ Various programs, including the Work Force Investment Act resources, addressed <br />employment training and job placement needs. The State designated Enterprise Zone, and <br />Redevelopment funded business attraction and retention programs also provided economic <br />opportunities to City residents. Additionally, during the report period, the City continued <br />implementation of its HUD - approved Empowerment Zone (EZ) strategy. <br />■ In order to meet the changing needs of the community, the City supported public services <br />and public facility improvement projects. Public services for lower income youth and <br />seniors help stabilize households by providing services such as medical /dental care, family <br />counseling, recreation, and nutrition programs. <br />9 60 single - family owner occupied and 10 multi - family housing rehabilitation projects were completed during the <br />report period — multi - family units. <br />33 <br />19F -39 <br />Draft 8/26/2009 <br />
