�.,�-1 c� Geographica/ Location of Proposed Activities - 2003-2004 Programs and services funded under this Action Plan wiil be provided to the extent possible, to every qua"ified and eligible applicant on a c.tywide basis. In the past, the majority of programs ano activities funded are provided by non-profd organizations who are housed at the Fair Oaks Community Center. The Fair C�aks Community Center is located in Census Tract # 6102, the highest concentrated neighborhood occupied by low-income and minotiry households. For the 2004-05 Program Year, the Housing & Human Concems Committee requested that in light of a reduced entitlement amount, that CDBG funds be used to fund homeless and housing activities under the Public Service category. For this reason, the activities proposed for 2004-05 are provided at the various locations where the shelters are located. Programs like Human Investment ProjecYs Shared Housing and Seff Sufficiency Programs and La Raza Centro Legal will continue to be housed at the Fair Oaks Community Center. The Housing Accessibility Modifications Program and Home Improvement Loan Programs will continue to operate citywide based on home owner eligibility. The City is committed to making funds available communiry wide to reach as many low- income, special needs and ethnic populations as possible. The City also funds activities located outside the City to create opportunities for special needs populations. The City makes a distinction between programs and senrices and non-housing community development activities including providing public facilities and public facility improvements. The City does not have a policy to limit spending federal funds in any one specific area of the City. Programs are targeted to eligible households in the City regardless of location. Public facility improvements are carried out without regard to location as long as the primary population being assisted is low-income households and persons. For example, the Kainos Hillside Stabilization Project is not located in a low income Census Tract, however, the population they serve are developmentally disabled adults and are assisted under the City's goal to serve special needs populations.
