Neighborhood Services Division

The Neighborhood Services Division administers federal funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Lodi receives two grants based on a formula allocation:

  • The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 
  • The HOME Investment Partnership Act Grant (HOME)

Federal funds administered by the division support programs and services for low-to-moderate income citizens and neighborhoods to increase self-sufficiency and meet needs that are otherwise not being met in the community. 

The Neighborhood Services Division works closely with the Lodi Improvement Committee in developing programs to improve the quality of life for Lodi residents.

The Point in Time (PIT) Count is, a bi-annual effort to account for the total number of unsheltered individuals that call San Joaquin County (SJC) home. In addition to being a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) mandate, the PIT Count survey provides vital unsheltered count data to help inform local strategies, planning and policies to address housing and homeless issues. Additionally, obtaining an accurate count determines how much funding our community is eligible to receive from local, state and federal resources. By counting the number of unsheltered in our community, we can determine the scope of the problem and the resources needed to get folks permanently off the streets.

On Wednesday January 26, 2022, over 100 volunteers participated in the San Joaquin County 2022 Point in Time Count for Lodi. Members of the San Joaquin Continuum of Care (SJ CoC), United Way, Lodi Committee on Homelessness (LCOH), a handful of volunteers, and City staff started their day before 5:30am to ensure everything was prepared for the volunteers by 7am at Gravity Church. Registration tables, outreach gear including N95 masks, gloves, and brightly colored vests were provided to volunteers to ensure safety at the command center and out in the field. Prior to the day of the event, volunteers had gathered to combine donations provided by the gracious community into approximately 200 backpacks for the unsheltered that included hygiene kits, winter gloves, beanies, and other essential supplies. Additionally, Community Partnerships for Families in collaboration with the Emergency Food Bank provided sack lunches for the unsheltered individuals that participated in the survey. These efforts make a positive difference in our community and we appreciate and want to thank everyone that participated and made the event possible, including volunteers, LCOH, Gravity Church, CPFSJ, The Salvation Army, Grace and Mercy, Vinewood Community Church, St. John’s, Community Medical Center, Gospel Center Rescue Mission, Lodi Police Department, our new Liaison Officer Cascio, Mayor Chandler, Council Member Kuehne, SJ CoC, United Way, San Joaquin County, and so many more.
