Suitable Living Environment: Public service activities that benefit communities and individuals by addressing issues that impact their living environment, such as establishing an after school program for high school kids to prevent/reduce crime in a target neighborhood. Decent Housing: Housing counseling activities that assist low‐ and moderate‐income individuals or households resolve tenant/landlord disputes. Creating Economic Opportunities: Activities that expand economic opportunities for low‐ and moderate‐income persons, such as offering job training and placement for persons with disabilities. Once the objective is selected, the City will choose one of three outcome categories that best describes what the City seeks to achieve by funding the public service activity— Availability/Accessibility, Affordability and Sustainability. Availability/Accessibility activities make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low‐ and moderate‐income people. For instance, opening a day care center for students in a neighborhood high school so that educational opportunities remain available and accessible to young mothers. Affordability activities provide affordability to low‐ and moderate‐income persons. For instance, providing free housing counseling to low‐ and moderate‐income families to enable them to obtain such assistance without charge. Sustainability activities are aimed at improving communities, to make them more livable or viable. For instance, establishing programs in a local community center to provide neighborhood children with structured activities after school.
