Annual Action Plan 2026 31 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The Fair Oaks Community Center (FOCC) is owned and operated by the City and provides space for several nonprofit organizations to operate their programs. These programs include information and referral programs, homeless coordinated entry intake and referrals, mobile shower and laundry service, home sharing program, older adult activity center, older adult food programs, older adult counseling, childcare and early child development center, tenant’s rights clinic, mobile health van, services for victims of violent crimes, support groups for al-anon, alcoholics anonymous and narcotics anonymous, translation and forms assistance, conflict resolution center, advice and orientation, homeless food program, counseling and advocacy on domestic violence, crisis intervention and shelter. In 2021, the City negotiated a land swap of a 2.5-acre parcel at 1469 Maple Street for 2.02 acres of County-owned land at 1580 Maple Street. In 2023, the County completed construction of a new shelter on the 1469 Maple Street site, with 240 individual sleeping units. As part of the property exchange, the County has a 5-year option period to ground lease 1580 Maple from the City. The County issued a request for proposals in July 2022 and selected MidPen Housing to develop the site in August 2022. MidPen’s proposed development for the site includes 108 extremely low-income units plus two managers’ units for a total of 110 units. All 108 units are proposed as permanent supportive housing units for people experiencing homelessness. As of early 2026, MidPen has submitted a planning application and applied to the City for funding from affordable housing impact fees. However, the 1580 Maple project is adjacent to market-rate residential development that has substantial infrastructure considerations and has been on hold during the market downturn. The 1580 Maple project is dependent on the infrastructure improvements provided by the market rate project. However, the City and MidPen are currently exploring infrastructure improvement options to allow the project to move forward ahead of the market-rate project. In PY 2026, the City plans to prepare a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the development of affordable housing on a 5,000 square feet vacant City-owned site at 611 Heller Street. The City hopes to select an affordable developer to partner with by fall 2027. Additionally, in PY 2022, the City received a large amount of one-time CDBG program income and allocated this program income, totaling $4.2 million, towards the Hoover Park improvement project. The City identified this program for these funds because for many years, Redwood City residents have been imploring the City to intervene, update, and add safety features to Hoover Park, which is in a designated primarily low-to-moderate income area. The City is also leveraging over $6 million in local City funds for the project. Construction commenced in PY 2025 and, due to increasing construction costs, the City allocated an additional $391,444 of CDBG program income towards the project in PY 2025. The project will be completed early Winter 2027 , and all CDBG funds will be expended by summer 2026.
