median income. During the report period, City used ADDI funds to assist one household purchase a <br />home. NSP funds were used to assist with the acquisition, rehabilitation and the resale of 19 <br />housing units. Two of these households also received NSP-funded down payment assistance. <br />Homeless Program Goals <br />With two-years of homeless assistance accomplishment data it is now possible to begin measuring <br />if the City is on track to meet five-year goals established in the Consolidated Plan. After two years <br />of program efforts it appears the City will meet or exceed Consolidated Plan goals for transitional <br />housing having so far assisted 173 individuals (five-year goal is to assist 350 individuals). <br />Conversely, based on two years of program efforts, the City is off pace to meet Consolidated Plan <br />goals for homelessness prevention services, emergency housing, and permanent housing. Exhibit 4 <br />provides information regarding these homeless program efforts in table format. Based on feedback <br />from homeless service providers, the primary reason program goals are lagging is the ongoing <br />economic recession. Current program participants are requiring larger subsidies for a longer period <br />of time. As a result, many clients have remained in programs for longer than anticipated thus <br />reducing the number of clients agencies can assist. Unfortunately, this trend may continue for <br />some time. With a local unemployment rate of 12.6%, it is extremely difficult for individuals with <br />little or no work experience to obtain jobs that pay a livable wage.' <br />Community Improvement Program Goals <br />With Fiscal Year 2011-2012 program efforts it appears the City will meet and exceed both pubic <br />infrastructure and public facility improvement Consolidated Plan goals. During the report period <br />the City completed a total of 12 infrastructure or facility projects. In addition to these completed <br />projects, the City had another 17 projects at various stages of construction. Exhibit 4 provides <br />more details regarding project completed during the 2011-2012 report period. <br />Finally, Consolidated Plan goals for public services also appear to be on track to be met or exceeded <br />(see Exhibit 4). <br />' Source: "June 2012 Preliminary Data Not Seasonally Adjusted," State of California Employment Development <br />Department, July 20, 2012. <br />08/23/2012 10 <br />19C-18
