III. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING PLAN
\ \ .. \
COMMUNITY PROFILE
ln 1975, the total population of Palo Alto was 56,026, representing only
a 0.1% increase from 1970. The increase was actually a result of the
annexation of the Barron P~r.k neighborhood in 1975 (approxi~tely 3,66~).
Since 1975, the· population has stabilized at approximately 54,600.
The household population for Palo Alto in 1975 was 53,500 with an average
.of 2.46 persona per household. This reflects a decrease in the.average
size of households since 1970 (2.67 persons per household).
Minorities constitute approximately 12.5% of the population, the largest
group composed of Asian-Americans at 2,493 or 4.5% of the total population.
Black households compose the next largest group at 1,286 or 2.3%.of the
population.
With few cases cf housing units in Palo Alto not considered to be suitable
fo~ rehabilitation, the hous~ng stock generally is in good condition
with few, if any, instanc~s of a,bandOnll}el\t •. There were approxi.m9.tely
23,609 units available in 1977 with less than 1% of these vacant.
Approximately 12,870 of these units are owner occupied. Housing overcrowding
( 1. e. more than 1. 01 person/room) does not present a major problem in
Palo Alto. In 1977, 316 new units were constructed in Palo Alto, 75 of
whi:h were single family.
The estimated median household income for Palo Alto in 1977 was $18,667
which is·approximately $1,000 above the median household. income for
Santa Clara County. The 1975 County census indicates that 5104 households
in Palo Al to had incoa1es below $8 1 000. Approxi.ma tely 1619 households
(families and individuals) received public assistance in 1977. Aid to
families with dependent children represents 45.3% of this total public
assistance.
According to the 1975 County census, the total number of employed persons
14 years of age and older in Palo Alto was 2~.969. The unemployment
rate that same year was 3.8%. By July 1977. the unemployment rate had
risen to 4.4%
The 1975 Santa Clara County Census shows that approximately 6300 (11.2%)
p~rsons were 65 years and older. This figure compared to the percEntage
for the County of 6.3?. elderly reveals the need for. housing and services
for the elderly in Palo Alto. In 1975. the_re were approximately 1700
households in Palo Alto having a member with at least one ~hysical
handicap. In addition, the number of developmentally disabled (mentally
retarded, autistic, cerebral palsy. epilepsy, etc.) in Palo Alto has
been estimated to be as high as the national populatiori percentage of
4%.

Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan
~llY OF COMNUNTTY DEVELOPMENT
Al~D HOUSING NEEDS
A. Neighborhood Revitalization Needs
In the first three years of -its CDBG programming. Palo Alto concentrated
its housing rehabilitation efforts in two neighborhoods --Pepper/West,
Meadow and College Terrace. After completing a majority of the rehabili-
tation work in these neighborhoods, the City moved to a city-wide rehabili-
tation effort in its fourth p~ogram year (1978-79).
This city-wide rehabilitation effort is consistent with the location of
the city's low and moderate income population which is dispersed city-
wide. For these reasons, the city has maintai~ed a city-wide program
for all of its CDBG programming rather than specific neighborhood concentration.
B. Community-Wide Housing Needs
The two most pressing needs are to increase the supply of low/moderate
income housing and to preserve existi-ag housing without raising costs
significantly. To these ends, there is a need to encourage and par-
ticipate in state and federally-funded programs which help to increase
the low/moderate income housiug supply, including ne1o0 an~/or existing
units available for Section 8 occupancy. The City should continue to
support those non-profit agencies and organizations which provide 1ow
and mcder~te income housing, fair housing services and prevent and/or
remedy conditions which lead to problems between landlords and tenants.
There is a need for increased housing services for the mentally and
physically handicapped, paTticularly by providing·units which are totally
accessible to the needs ~f the handicapped.
C. Community-Wide ?t'eeds for Public Facilities and-Improvements
Although its CDBG program has a city-~ide orientation, there are still
needs dispersed. throughout specific neighborhoods ~hich the city has
been trying to meet over time. These needs are outlined below:
1. Senior Citizens --A study by the Palo Alto 'l"ask For~e on
Aging documents a need for assistance in housing, health,
education, transportation, occupation and firusnces. The new
Senior Center in the downtown neighborhood of Palo Alto is
providing services for senior citizens in the comnunity.
Nonetheless, the Senior Coordinating Council of Palo Alto sees
the need for satellite centers (outreach centers) for those
elderly who may be less ambulatory.
2. tobild Care --Palo Alto Community Child Care reports that
there is a great need for infant care services as well as
increased day services for children of all age groups. There
are many situations in which older children have no place to
go after school and often must remain at home alone in the
• + ... ·-
3. ll&ndic~pped --In many areas of the City there is limited
accesa for the physically handicapped. There is a need for
handicapped facilit.ies and to enccu-rage businesses and service
establishments to improve access for th~ handicapped. Likewise.
there is a need for additi~nal housing (both new and existing)
.for the handicapped. Finally, a number of agencies who work
with the handicapped have expressed the need for a handicapped
resource center which would be a multi-service center for the
handicapped and would be <. flexible organization to change.
with the needs of the day.
4. Pax'k& --The City's standards are to have a neighborhood park
within a half mile and a district park within one mile of all
residents with & stand~rd of 2.0 acres per l,000 persons for
each of these facilities. The City cur~ently meets most of
the criteria except for the need of a neighborhood park in the
downtown area. the deyeloy.llent of Greer ~Ark al~n~ West
Bayshore Road, and the development of additional park facilities
west of Alma Street.
5. Historical rlaces --The City ~.as a ntimber of structures and
places of historical interest which. in most cases, have been
adequately preserved by private Ollt-iiers. Nonetheless. there
remains a need to develop incentives for the retention, and,
when necessary, rehabiiitation of these places. There is a
need for a new City review ,rocedure for historic buildings
threatened by demolition or proposed for remodeling.
6. Transportation·--The City is largely developed and therefore
bas little need for constructing new roads. There is a need
to relieve traffic congestion in some areas but it is the
City'~ policy t~ do this wherever p~ssible without widening
~treets to increase their capacities; however, some improve~ents
.are ne~essary to existing roadways to lmprove traffic safety
conditions. The City is continuing to provide facilities for
bicycles, pedestrians and the handicapped. Public transit and
para-transit modes are being en~ouraged to rEduce the dependence
on the automobile.
Alterations to the Alma/Oregon interchange~ the Alma/Churchill
intersection and the El Camino Real/Page Mill intersection are
needed to maximize roadway safety conditions at these locations.
In addition, Alma Street in south Palo Alto is in need of some
improvements to eliminate potentially unsafe conditions.
For bicycle traffic, there is a need for an improved underpass
. et California Avenue and other projects which eliminate
deficiencies in the Falo Alto bikeways system. There are
also plans for a bicycle boulevard demonstration project in
the City.
7. Water, Gas and Electric Utilities -~Although the City has an
adequate water, gas and electric system, there is a need to
upgrade some existing facilities to meet standards and a need
'to ~nstall new facilities to meet customer needs. Purcba~ 'O'f
the gas and electric distribution system in Barron Park was
completed in the fall, 1978.
•
8. Sewage Disposal --TI1ere is a need to upgrade current treat-
cent tc tertiary stand~rds in order to enhance the waters of
.the South Bay. Collection facilities also should be increased
in certain parts of the City and existing facilities should
conUnually be maintained.
9. Environmental Resources --The quality of air and·water must
be.improved by providing pollution-free areas for percolation
into the water table and healthy vegetation f.,r photosynthes.is.
Enhancement of the aesthetic environment must be consistent .
with human recreational nee.ds and the preservation of the wild-
life habitat. Excessive water runoff and soils erosion must be
avoided.
D. Economic Development Needs
Palo Alto 1s unemployment picture is well below the national average.
Most of the unemployment, and mote often under-emploYJ!lent, occurs in the
younger-aged work force (18-25 years) who may be part-time students or
recently out of school. In addition, unemployment is found amoung those
persons over 60 who desire work.
In tenns of economic development, the City is still witnessing growth in
:i.'ts .coaaerd.al .&l:Ml · 'induatr.i.al sectors.. An important consideration .Jn tmy
new economic developrnent ls to balance that growth with suitable housing
and public servir.es.

COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY
In the first fou~ years of its Community Development Block Grant Program,
the City of Palo Alto has concentrated on providing increased housing
services ,throughout the community. This ·has included landbanking parcels
for the construction of new low-income housing, housing rehabilitation
activities, and a program whereby a private, non-profit agency purchases
existing housing to be used for Section 8 housing assistance. Bec;ause
the low-income population of the city is not concentrated in one JLeighbothood,
the City has proceeded with the strategy of city-wide progrsmming with
100% of the recipients of rehabilitation funds being low/moderate income.
Consequently, housing bas always been a top priority in Palo Alto's pro-
granmirig and will remain a top priority. In the Palo Alto Comprehensive
Plan, the City Council has stressed the importance of low/moderate
income l1ousing programs, including those programs listed above.. All of
these programs will play an important role in Polo Alto's providing
housing fer its current as well as future population.
The City has been involved since the ea:rly 1970's in the provision of
increased accessibility and facilities for the handicapped in both
public and private developments. Nonetheless, many privately-owned
ht1.1.1.rtoes -wbicb are open t:o the public, have limited access for ~
physically-impaired. These facilities include not only commercial
establishments but also public service agencies. The owners of these
facilities should be informed of potential architectural barriers
which may restrict the mobility of the handic.::ipped and cncouraE;,ed to
eliminate those barriers.
In the summer of 1~:78, the Senior Coordinating Council of Palo Alto with
the help of private donations and funding from the Community Development
Block Grant Program, completed the renovation of a building for a multi-
purpose Senior Center in the downtown Palo Alto area. This center
houses a number of services for lhe elderly which, before the center was
opened, were dispersed throughout the city. Not only does the Senior
Center provide a centralized location for these services, but also a
better framework for coordinating service d~livery to the elderly and
filling any gaps in service which-may exist·.

IV. 1979-82 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN
IV. 1979-82 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN
Background
Submission vf a Housicg Aseiatance Plan (RAF) is required as part of the
CotlJnunity Development Bleck Grant application. The Plan ~ust include:
a survey of the condition of the housing etock in the collJllunity;
an eatimate of the housing assistance needs of lower-income
hou::1ehold1;
realistic annual and three-year goals for the number Qf dwelling
unit• er households to be asaieted; and
an indication of the general locations for new and substantially
rehabilitated asaiated housing.
The purpose of the Plan 11 threefold. First, the federal government
want• to insure that co-amtunitias bscome involved in assessing their
houaing need• and e&ttin& goal• for filling those needs. Once set, the
needs and aoala serve the second purpo1e which is to provide the U.S.
Department of Bouaina and Urban Development with a guide for allocating
housing aaai'Jt&nce funda to local communit1e11. Finally, the Rousing
Assistance Plan will be uaad by HUD to evaluate individual proposals for
federal housing aaei1tance; HUD will approve only those housing proposal•
which are consistent with the adopted Housing Assist&Ace Plan. li'UD will
determine if a propoaal is con•i•tent by checking the number. size, type
and location soals set by the community in its Housing Assistance Plan.
Condition of the Housing Stock
The 1979-80 HAP aeta the number of housing uniu at 23,980. Palo Alto
remain• a predominantly sinale-family community (2/3 of the units are
aingle-family houa .. ) i~ which ju•t over half of the houaing is owner-
occupied. ·
About 550 of Palo Alto's housing units are eat1-:iated to be physically
aube~andard. Subatandard units &re predominantly older rent~l units.
There are, howevor, a significant number of owner-occupied unit• (145)
which are al10 in need of aubatantial rehabilitation.
Housing A11i1tanc• Needs
Updated info!'m&tion from the 1975 Santa Clara County Cen1u1 indicate•
that 3820 Palo Alto houaehold• (about 16% of the total) fit the federal
atandarda for lower income and were livina in sub1tandard hou11n1 conditicma,
that ia:
occupyina unite lackina 1oi11e or all plumbtna;
occupying units more than 30 years old and valued at less than
$10,000;
with more than 1.25 rerson per room; and
paying more than 25% of their income for rent.
Since 1970, 520 unit• of aasieted housing for elderly or handicapped and
189 unit• for general occupancy have been built in Palo Alto. Rental of
privately-owned existing units through Section 8, Section 23 and the
Piggyback Program provides adequate housing !or an additional 150 households,
moat of ..,mom are elderly. Taking into account these assisted units
provided since 1970, a raa1onabla estimate of housing assistance needs
ia Palo Alto in 1979 is:
600 elde%1f and handicapped households
1750 iud1viduals and families of four or fawer persons
60 large familiee of five or more persons
Thi• totals about 2410 Palo Alto nouaeholds in need of hou~ing assistance.
There are also an Qdditional 2083 low/moderate income hou@eholde who
woulrl re1ide ("expected to reeide11) in Palo Alto given the a~ailable
housing.
Annual cd Three-Year Housing Asaiatance Goals
Palo Alto'• 1979-80 housing aoaitance goals for assisted new and existing
unite are ba&ed on what are aeen as realistict achievabie expectations.
This curre~t year (1978-79). we have aeen the completion of Webster Wood
(68 family units of which 58 are assieted) with Lytton Gardens It (J.00
units of housing for l*niors) and Sheridan Apartments (54 assisted
unite) to be completed lat•r in the year. In addition, thd Santa Clara
County Housing Authority provides Section 8 assistance to eltgiblR Palo
Alto re1ident.s. "
over the three-year period (lsl79-82)5 housins assistance will be allocated
in Palo Alto in close proportion to the_needs summati•ed above. These
needa include the data for low/moderate income pet"sons "expected to
reside11 in Palo Alto. The proportions are 25% elderly and/or haudicapped,
69~ familiest 6% large famillea.
1:.2.£!.tiona for New Assisted Housing
In aaaesain& appropriate locations for ne~ assisted housing, availability
~f aitea ia the major,conatraint. With the Rental Housing Acquisition
Program. sites will be individually evaluated as to their suitability
for family and elderly or handicapped housing. Should a Land Bank
program be implemented, 1ite1 will be similarly evaluated while also
looking at the proximity to service• and employment. environmental
factors, zoning, land use, low income concentration and size of possible
development.

V. ENVIRO?iMENTAL ASSESSMENTS 1979-80
V. Environmental Assessments 1979-80
Eighteen projects have been proposed for CD funding. Five already have
had environmental assessments and negative Declarations approved by.the
Council. The environmental impact that would result if any of these
projecte were implemented has been found not to be significant. Therefore.
no further environmental action will be necessary.
The items ~reviously reviewed and approve<l are:
2. Palo Alto Citywide Housing Improvement Program
10. Senior Home Repair Service
11. Senior Center Expansion
13. Rental Housing Acquisition Program
18. Land bank
Four items are not considered projects under California environmental
law and therefore do not need assessments. The four projects are:
1. Tenant/Landlord Information and Mediation Referral
12. Midpeoinsula Citizens for Fair Housing Administration
14. Palo Alto Housing Corpcration Administration
17. Community Development Program Administration
The following fcur projects are categorically exempt from environmental
revie~:
3. Architectural Barriers -First Lutheran Church
4. Architectural Barriers -Palo Alto Unitarian Church
5. Architectural Barriers -Senior Adults Legal Assistance
6. Stevenson House Hot Water System
No preliminary environmental assessments were made on the following
ineligible projects:
15. Veterans' Memorial Building
16. Terman Community Center
Three projects have not received previous environmental review. Therefore,
environmental assesBments are attached for:
7. Olive and Pepper Street Improvements
8. Work Activity Program Facility
9. Palo Alto Senior Day Care Progr~m
After the final selection of projec~s is made, more complete environmental
review records will be prepared for the chos~n projects •

This site is in the moderate seismic risk zone
oi Palo Alto and would be subjected to very
Etrong shaking 1n the event of a major earthquake
on the San Andreas Fault. Regulations of the
adopted 1976 Uniform Building Code are designed
to minimize the hazard to life and property.
·some water from rains may be directed into the
City's storm drains rather than filtering through
the soi.l. The net effect should not create any
harmful factors.

l. Background of Aoplicant
The PALO ALTO AREA INFORMATION ANO REFERRAL SERVICE (PAAIRS)
is a non-profit organization providing comprehensive infor-
mation on a b~oad spectrum of community resources and services
available in the Palo Alto area. PAAIRS serves individual
residents as well as public and private agencies.
PAAIRS is part of the Santa Clara County information and
Referral system providing community based services in twelve
locations throughout Santa Clara County on a 24-hour basis.
PAAIRS also contracts with the City of Palo Alto and provides
specific information on tenant/landlord rights and responsi-
bili~ies in conjunction with the City's Rental Housing Media-
tion Task Force. PAAIRS currently serves as the central
input channel tor all rental housing related inquires. In
res-ponse to requests on both a phone and walk-in basis, PAAIRS
conducts an initial needs-assessDlent interview to clarity
the client•s situation, provides information about rental
housing regulations and practices, and can discuss available
alternatives to resolve the dispute (including mediation).
PAAIRS responds to approximately 150 initial requests for •
tenant/landlord related information a month and keeps a
stastical recor~ of the number an~ types of calls received.
2. Proiect Descriotion
We are requesting funds to extend the hours 0£ one oart-time
sta:ff member by 20 hours a week to respond to the increased
demand for tenant/landlord in£or:ma.tion and mediation referral.
During the first nine months of 1978• PAAIRS has experienced
a S~ increase in tenant/landlord related inquiries over the
same period last year. Due to severe fiscal restriants im-
posed by the passage of Proposition 13, it is unlikely that
the City of Palo Alto will be able to provide additional coA-
tract funds to meet this substantial increase in community
'lleed. In addition, we ar~ proposing that a follow-up study
on the effectiveness of the actual mediation process be de-
velo~ by PAAIRS and included as an ongoing part of the
tenant/landlord mediation program.
3. Would the amount requested oay all or oartial costs of the oroject?
The requested funds would pay all of the cost of the propos~
project.

Anticipated sources of funding for fiscal year 1979-80 are

IMPROVING TH'S QUALITY_ OF LIFS FOS TH'S PHYSICAI.LY Lir·HTED
It is our intention to share the objectives of the CDBG
committee ln it's strivin~ for a more viable community for the
elderly and_ physically handicapped. Toward this objective, we
would seek to remove architec't1Jral barriers that limit the use ot our buildings to the most able-bodied amongst _us for religious,
philosophical,educational,musical, and· other social e\"ents• It .. is
obvious that our buildings were designed at a time when many of
us were not sensitive to the frustrations encountered by the phy-
sically limited, who are prevented from participating in all as-
pects of society, when build1n!!:S are not accessible to them, and
yet are serving the others amongst us for multiple uses.
We would seek to set an example of adaptation, with minimal
disturbance to the functioning of our church's activities, and
with minimal reconstruction of the existing building1, At the same
time, we would remain in compliance with the "UNIFORM BUILDING
CODE",as adopted by the "INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE of BUILDING
OFFICIALS"· Also, we would be assured that any contractor followed
the "CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT COD!, Chapter ?,(Accees to Public
Buildings by Physically Handicapped.Persons) Sub-sections 44.50-
4458 & 7250=7252, as well as all Palo Alto city codes. It would
be cle~rly understood that any allotment of fun~ing in excess .ot actual costs. should our estimates have been inaccurate,would
"
be retll?'.ne~ to the city. -.
. · Because we now have inadequate c1earances !or·wheelchairs,we·apply-5.(21 As a•special. project to r$move architectural barriers

SUMMARY
Senior. Adults Legal Assistance (SALA) is an independent,
non-profit agency that provides free legal services to the elderly.
The agency's aim is to give priority to those elders who are handi-
capped, are members of a minority group or who have low incomes.
SALA also s~eks to educate eldexs about their legal rights
and about the methods available to obtain these rights. It achieves
this goal by publishing a number of booklets and a newsletter, and
through an outreach progr·am of community talks.
The agency began operations in 1973 at Palo Alto, California.
It now staffs 14 consultation sites throughout Northern Santa Clara
County fpr the benefit of older people in seven cities: Palo Alto,
Mountain View, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, and
Santa Clara.
• • To serve as a model proqram for other communities in the coun-
try and to operate as a research center on legal problems of :elders,
SALA has been funded by the Administration On Aging of·the U.S.

DETAILED BACKGROUND
When SALA bega:l five years ago, it had no name, no paid st.:tff,
and no permanent facility.
SALA, in 1973, was staffed only by·Michael Gilfix, founder and
present Director, and a few dedicated volunteers who shared his con-
cern over the plight of older people. They provided free legal
counsel to elders in a borrowed office a few hours a week under the
auspices of the City of Palo Alto's Coordinator for Senior Services,
Mrs. Diana Steeples.
Sy 1974, SALA had incorporated as an independent, non-profit
agency for the provision.of free legal services to elderly clients.
It had been very successful in recruiting a growing number of volun-
te~T ~ttorneys and law students who recognized the pressing need for
such services.
. -.L
The summer of 1975 marked a turning point for SALA. Until then,
the agency had been operating solely on the basis of volunteered time·
and donated office space. In July of 1975, SALA became one of the
original eleven national Model Projects to be funded by the Administra-.
tion On Aging of the U.S. Department of Health, Education & Welfare,
under Title III of the Older Americans Act. The gr~nt permitted SALA
tD.QPeD an o.f.fic.e 0£ it.s own.,. .build staff and expand its program into
two other communities in Santa Clara County: Mountain View and the
City of Santa Clara.
In 1976, SALA obtained two grants from the Administration On
Aging-. In addition to winning refundin·g as a national Model. Project
ATTACHMENT A -Page 3
under Title III, SALA was awarded a grant \mder Title IV of the
Older Americans Act to develop an extensive set of teaching ma-
terials for law schools on the subj~ct of law and ~ging.
The agency's main office moved to la~ger quarters {624 Uni-
· versity Avenue in Palo Alto) and five new sites were established
where elders could go for legal counselr including, for the first
time, some in the cities of Sunnyvale and Cupertino.
. ~ ........
By late 1976~ SALA had begun to focus on special problems of
handicapped eldars. A new project, Assistance in the Law ·to· Phys-.
ically Handicapped Elders (ALPHE) resulted. In 1977, SALA began
publishing a newsletter as an attempt to educate the community about
leqal issues which relate to the handicapped. Distributed free of
charge, its mailing list now totals some 2,000 names. A copy of th~
latest newsletter {Disability Law News -September~October, 1978)
is included as part of this application.
Xn that same year, 1977, SALA:
• won the Commtmity Service Award from the
United Cerebral Palsy.Association •1n
acknowledgment of SALA's efforts to improve
community life for people with handicaps•;
0 published the first three booklets in its
'Sen!.or 't.eqal 'Education ·Series, each dealing
with some legal issue i~portant to older
people (California's Natural Death Act,
Supplemental Security Income, Wills). Copies
ot these booklets are included as part of this
. application;
. '
ATTACHMENT A -Page 4
• began a specially staffed community outreach
program of talks to groups of elders, discus-
sing their legal rights and the methods avail-
able to obtain them;
•arranged to give legal.counsel to elders at
five new locations, including, for the first
time, one to serve the cities of Les Altos and
Los Altos.Hills \also for the first time, two
of the new locations were in nursing homes);
· and
• was awarded a grant, for the last half cf fiscal
year 1977-78, from the council On Aging of Santa
Clara County.
During 1978, SALA expanded its services to residents of nursing
homes. At the present time, SALA regularly visits. 8 nursing ho~es
in Northern Santa Clara County. SALA's concern about the conditions
in some nursing homes· has led us to publish another booklet, ~Inde
pender&t Living Guide for Senior Adults." ·This booklet presents al-
ternatives to ente~ing a nursing homes. It lists services which
can help seniors maintain an independent liviri.g situation, rema.lning
in their own homes and communities. A copy of the booklet is included
u part of this_ application.
In October of 1978, SALA started its Disability Law center, an .
outgrowth of the ALPH.E Project (Assistance in the Law to ~hysically
Handicapped Clders). The Center provides free legal assistance to
l
. "
ATTACHMENT A -.fage 5
the disabled who are eighteen years of age or older. The Center
is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Labor (under the
Comprehensive El'lrj;>loyment and Training Act) and the San Mateo Founda-
tion.
At present, the Disability ~aw Center is located in Campbell,
California, in space-shared-with other agencies serving the disabled.
However, the Center, which serves all of Santa Cla~a County, is
administered out of SALA's headquarters at 624 University Avenue in
-Palo Alto.
SALA's increased involvement with the handicapped community
(bOth as clients and, now, as staff members of SALA) makes it urgent
that the agency's administrative headquarters be fu1ly accessible to
the disabled. To this end; SALA has just constructed a wheelchair
ramp to the front entrance of its·headguarters. (This ramp was paid
for by a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation•) We
now request Community Development Funds tO: pay for construction of
a ramp to the back door (which leads to SALA's parking lot) and re-
modeling of two rest rooms.

Re: New Toilet Rooms for Handicapped, 624 University Ave.
Community Development Block Grant Application
Dear Malcolm:
Enclosed for your review are site/floor plans showinq
new toilet r0oms for handicapped and ramp access, per
your instructions. We estimate that the completed project
would cost approximately $12,600 in today's dollars.
You should assume cost escalation to the midpoint of
construction at approximately .0083 per month.
You should also be aware that i:t will be necessary for
you to review your prop()sed remodel.ing plans with the City
of Palo Al to Department· of Building Inspection before
developing the s c..l\eme any further.
I hope this qives you the information you need for the
application.
Very truly yours,

1. Bai:kground of applicant
Community Association for Retarded (hereinafter C.A.R.) is~ private
non-profit, community based, multi-service center whi~h provices programs
to 800 individuals with developIDental. disabilities and other handicaps.
Incorporated in 1963, C.A.R. began pt'Oviding services at its present Palo
Alto ~ocation in 1966. · Seven programs trace the developmental stages of
the individual. by prcviding age appropriate experiences ~o clients --
from -infancy tijrough adulthood. These programs are designed to foster
the individual's potential for integration into the cOimlunity.
C.A.~~ clients resida in Santa Clara (85% of the participants) and San
Mateo~(l5% of the participants) counties. Due to the heterogeneity of
·persons with developmental disabilities, agencies, such as C.A.R., serve
select groups of individuals without restrictions to the geographic
location of theit> residences. This policy e~les service orga.~izations
to mininU.ze duplicative efforts and to maximize efficient delivery of
services. Nevertheless~ a.substantial proportion of participants in
C.A.R~ programs are fran Palo Alto. The most recent available statistics
indicate that from July 1976 to June 1977, 234 Palo Alto residents par-
ticipqted in programs at the C.A.R. Cente1", which represents 33t of the
tot~~~number of clients for that period.
• .-"!~
2. Projec;t Descriptio~
·:··~
C~ity Association for Retat'd.ed wil..l expand its existing facility to
housesa multi-purpose training centez-designed specifical1y fo~ a low
-inc~, developmentally disabled adult population. Its objective is to
off'e1' under one roof, a pre-:workshop prc;>gram that has relevant:e to mentally -~:=l~it~ other hand~~p~ c_i~~~e~ of Palo. Alto and adjacent
-. T~~~kna1n as the C~A.R:;_W~k Activi~y Center, the ne;, building wing will
ho1.is4fiC.~~R. 's long es~ablished and highly regarded adul:t training program.
This.~oJect proposal is founded on the philosophy that: the needs of
~}iap~ individual~-~ best ~. met in t~eir home communities.
~ompletion, the Work Activity Cente:-will-accomplish a numbel" of
p~es simultaneously: .
'i~~ih provide a .,r;i;;ta:i service-to 40 ildu1ts who....., appropriate ::-=/_ · ~4.iit•~·£o• w.;i;"~·training aad.development •
. ?-:~~ wi~l ~ffy mal.-a~~tive behaviors that limit social and employment

~;7~ wiil guarantee ~~~_the ex~el~~~ce which has characterized C.A.R.'s
_ program in· vocational preparation and community U ving will continue
in an appropriate setting.
Page 2
4. It will allow C.A.R.'s Work Activity Program t"o be accredited. by the
Commission on Accreditatio~ of Rehabilit~rtion Fa::ili~ies and. thus,
become eligible for fundir.g by the California State Department of ·
Rehabilitation.
s. It will provide services to 15 additional developmentally disabled
adults who are currently at: high risk for out-·of-home placement.
6. And, it will give the City of Palo Alto the opportunity to express in
tangible terms its commitment to improved services for developmentally
dis.abled community members. · .
The C.A.R. Center at 3861J Middlefield Road in Palo Alto will add 2500
square feet to its WOX'k Activity Program. This expanded facility will
provide ample space for the following: l) an asselllbly area for clif-nts'
sub-(:ontract work; 2) a simulated apartment fO?' living skill.s training;
3) a llUlti-purpose activity/dining area; and &J) offices for instru<:-tors.
This .expanded Center will meet nationally accepted standal'ds for
architectural. accessibility9 wil.l satisfy California accreditation standard3
for rehabilita.tion facilitie..-s, and will conforA to local ordinances
governing firer occupational safety, sanitation, and health measures.
C.A.R. has $40,COO for the construction of this facility. Since the total.
proj~ted cost of building the new structUE>e is $203,l25r C.A.R. is
requesting $163,125 in Comnnmity Deve1opment Program funds. During the
past two months, c.A.R. contacted Mr. John Hornback, Project Manager of
Carl Holvick Company, concax'lli.ng the plans for-building expansion at the
C.A.R. Center. Mr. Hornback provided tecbntcal assistance for the
developtDent of this proposal. (s~e Attach:Dent l). .. .
Upon preliminary approval of this project, C.A.R. will activiate affiliated
gro~s to raise reve;mes for the furnishing of the facility. Upon final
approval, C.A.R. will take the necessary steps to begin construction on
the pl'Oject by the summer of 1979.
3. Will. the amo\.Ult toequest:ed pay all or pa;£tial costs of the project?
The $163,125 request, in addition to the $t1-0,000 C.A.R. contribution, will
pay the cost of conatructing this expansion of the Wark Activity Center.
Budget figures sul>niitted will cover costs of al.l licellSes and permits
n~essary to the completion of the building, p1us 'the payment of all
inspections and ether applicable fees. ·
Affiliated groups of Community Association for Retarded have historically
made substantial con't:r.ibutions to the furnishing of its facilities. Fuud
raising efforts by these groups will enable C.A.R. to :furnish this Work
Activity Center without additional Community Development Program support •

5. How dc;>es the project meet (1) objectives of CD and (2) under what
eligible activity does it :fit?
1. The proposed expansion of the C.A.R. multi-service training
cente~ facility meets the objective of improving community
services for persons of low and moderate income. Ali adults are
eligible for community services based on their own personal
income rather than that of their parents. As such, aduit clients
of the Work Activity Center program who are receiving Supplemental
Security Income (S.S.I.) ·fal.l well below the low in~ome criteria
established by the U.S. Department of Labor.
2. 'l'he project falls undt:r two eligible activities categories: 2. Acquisi-
tion~ construction or installation of public works such as ·neighbor-
hood facilities, senior centers, historic properties~ utilitie~, play-
grounds, flood facilities, street improvements, etc.; and 10. Eligible
activities cari•ied out by private, non-profit entities, neighborhood
based non-profit·ot-ganizations, l.ocal d.evelopment corporations, or
small. business investment companies.

1 •. The addition to the Senior Day Care is absolutely needed
and having it in place by the middle of next year will
allow the program to qualify for some Medi-Cal reimburse-
ment which in turn will help to stabilize the financial
status of the program.
2. The Senior Home Repair subsidy f s a highly appropriate
C~request and if granted,-would possibly alleviate the
need of the general revenue funds fronf the City of Palo

Project Proposal Submitted by: Senior Coordinating Council of Palo Alto Area
Contict Person: Louis Labat, Program Developer; Phil Conway, Ex. Director
TelephGne: _(415) 326-5362
Background of Applicant
The Senior CO'Jrdinating Council of the Palo Alto Area was established in 1969
to promote the welfare of the large senior population in_ this area. It is
incorporated as a non-profit corporation and, as such~ is· tax-·exempt. It is
the agency designated by the City of Palo Alto to coordinate its various Pr"4J-
grams for seniors, to detennine the need fQr senior programs not presently in
existence. and to work toward e~tablishing and implementing such progran:s.
Some senior programs are directly spo~sored by the Senior Coordinating Council,
others are autonOfllOus but are closely coordinated by it. The ?alo Alto Senior
Oay Care Program, on whose behalf this application is submitted, is a dire:tly
sponsored program.
The Senior Oay Care Program presently se~ves 60 participants, over 751 of whom
live in Palo Alto. All these participants have significant physical or emotional
handicaps, and many of them have multiple handicaps. Their average age is 80.
'1
9ver.95i.of them are people of 1~ to nJOder~te 1ncome.! Most of them would be 1nst1tut1onalized where the Day Care alternative not available. The program is
designed to provide an environment in which the trailed and impai~ed elderly can
maintain their dignity and self-confidence; to rehabilitate them to their maximum
level of independence; to prevent premature or uns~itable institution alization;
end to rc!duce thei~ isolation in the cOPJnUnity. In addition, the program provides
sorely needed 1-esp1te to those families who have handicapped senio~s living with them.
2. Project Description
This project is for a building approximately 30 X 50 feet, to be added to the pre~ent Sentor Day C~r;e ~rogram facility. This building is needed to house a liJed1~a~ component ~h~ch 1s to be added to·the program. {At present the program
1s 11m1ted to prov1d1ng socialization, education, and recreational services and ·opportuntt1es for the participants.)
•• Page two
The reasons for adding a medical component are two-fold:
l) BecausP of ttie degree of infirmity of the participants and_ the high jncide~ce of medical emergencies and.medical PN?b~ems, their needs •
. · would be better met with on·site med1ca1 superv1s1on and some therapy,
2) Recent state legislation provides ~di-Cal.reimbursabil~ty for senior
day care c~nters but only for those which 1nclude a medical component.
nt facf11t is used to its limit. The ~roposed bui1ding w<>uld include ~::O~:r occupati~nal and physical therapy (part of which could be curtained
off for individual examinations}. two double stalled bathw:ooms {one for me~ a~d
one for women· three of these four stalls would be access1ble for wh~elcha1~, 1 shower and.two offices; one for the nurse· on site, to be shared w1~h.phys1ca )
:nd occuPati ona 1 therapists when on the premises; and .ooe for the adm1 ms tra tor.
· 3. Would the Amount requested pay all or partial Costs of the Project?
The ~unt applied for would pay for the total cost of the project.
4. Budget
Provide a brief budget for the project (for example, expenditures for li\nd
ra•rchase, construction, administration) and indicate anticipated source of-
. funding (fer exair.ple, CO, other goverrvnent prog~, priva.te contributions).·
The $90,000 would cover the total cost of site preparation construction, and
minimal landscaping. ·
. 5. How does this project meet the 1) objectives of CD and Z) under what "e 1 i gi bl e act1vity8 does it fjl,?
This project directly confonns to the primary objective of Comnunity Development;
the development of a suitable livfog environment, principally for persons of low
·and moderate income. In addition, ft meets the specific objectives of minimizing
the isolation of handicapped seniors withfn_ the conrnunity, and of having a signi-
ficant effett on the identified needs of the participants in the program (providing
on-site medical supervf sf on and therapy for a group who are subject to a higher
incidence of medical ·emergencies and medical problems.) .

2. Project Description
The Palo Alto Housing Corporation (PA:llC) proposes to acquire~ rehabilitate if neces-
sary~ and operate existing rental housing 1n Palo Alto in order to assist in pro-
viding and preserving the rental housing supply for persons of low and moderate income.
cm· funds would be used primarily to provide the down payments, closing costs and
other expenses involved in acqt.iiring.suitable rental housing properties, and to cover
the costs of rehabilitation of such units to the extent that Palo Alto's ongoing Cl>.
rehabilitation program {Housing Improvement Prograa) may have insufficient fucds for
the purpose. ·
It is anticipated that future funds coming to the City from housing developers as
cash payments in lieu of prodding Below Market Bate housing units for sale, or in
lieu of prvviding housing in conjunction with industrial/commercial develop1&ents
would also be assigned by the City to PARC to enhance the CD funds.
P-roperties purchased by PAHC woW.d be self-supporting, in that suf fici.ent rents wou1d
be paid by tbe tenants plus the federal Section 8 rent subsidy program to caver the
operating costs~ property tax.es and debt service of all properties acquired •
.3. Would the amount requested pay all or partial costs of the project?
As indicated in the project desct"iption above, the amount. requested would pay partial
costs of the project.
4. Budget: Provide a brief bUdget for the project (for example, expenditures for land
purchase, construction~ administration) and indicate anticipated source ~
funding (for eXRJllPle, CD, other goverrunent programs, private contributions).
'l'he Ludget for the project llUSt necessarily be flexible, since it is impossible to
predi.ct the number,. type and purchase price of suitable renta1 housing units that
tDay become available for put:chase during the budget year. La.st year's requested bud-
get figure was $300 .ooo in CD funds which we hoped misht be augmented by about
.~100,.000 from. the City's in-lieu housing payments. .
'!'he· 1978-79 CD. 'final allocation foT 1lBAP was $253,000 wich becaille availdie as of
July 111 1978. Since that time $4,995 has been drawn down to be used for professional,
legal, and tax services, and the Housing Corporati.oo. hai:; been work.1.ng cm the prelilllin-.

proposed uewly-promu1gated l:IUD relocation regulati.ons before acquiring pr~perties.
'l'b1a -should occur in the near future.
Alt allocation of $250,000 is requested under the 1979-80 en Prograa, of which up to
10% would be used to cover administration cos ta. 'l'he raaainde:r would be added to the
1978-79 CD funds for direct acquisition of existing !lousing unite (and rehabilitation
if needed, and no otheT -rehab funds are ava:!.la~le wider the City's Rousing Improvement

Backtround of Apelicant:·
Stan ord University, founded in 1885, is~ private institution of
higher learning and research with an enrollment of approximately
11,500 students. The campus proper occupies 1,200 acres out of a
total of 8,100. A great many educational and cultural programs
are available to the general public.
Project Description:
· a. To continue an on-going program of constructing access ramps
for the physically handicapped to bu.ildings shared with the
off-campus general public, .such as various auditoria where
inexpensive cultural programs are provided by the University
and made available to non-Stanford members of nearby communi-
ties. Many of these attendees are elderly.
b. To continue a program of constructing or remodeling curb-
cuts at intersections of streets and bicycle/pedestrian
paths, in conformance with current official desi~n standards,
~o facilitate movement of physically handicapped on-and off-
·campus individuals, and bicyclists, both town and gown, using
campus paths for conunuting or recreation. Included in the
progra.~ are curbcuts adjacent to parking spaces reserved for
the physically handicapped at numerous locations on campus.
3. Would the amount requested pay all or partial costs of the
project?
·It will pay for a portion of next year's part of the continuous
pr09ram of upgrading facilities for the physically handicapped.
Provision of curbcuts and ramps has been an on-going program at
Stanford since the .l960's (a map is attached showing accomolish-
ment to date). Stanford has identified ti:e need for additl.Jna.l
ha~d~capped access projects which are ~stimated will cost approxi-
ma\:e'"ly '$600,00'0,··'Wbi-t:h it is dedicated to completing as som. as
possible. ·· Supplemental funding, as provided by the program to
which t.his application applies, permits accelerated provision of
the installations and remodelings designed to serve the general
public. ·

4. Budget: Provide a brief budg~or the project (for example,
~xpendi turcs for land E_.Urchase, construction, admi.nistra-
tion) and indicate anticipated source of funding (for
example, CD, other government programs,_Erivate contri-
butions). .
The entire progra~ being requested will be for design and construc-
tion c:-£ ramps and curbcuts. The facilities provided thereby wi 11
be suppler:iented by similar facilities being included in major
capital projects, such as new buildings or remodelings, street
improvements, mall developments and path construction or upgrading.
These supplemental ramps and curbcuts are funded by the University.
5. How does this project meet the ~l} objectives of CD and (2) under
what "eligibilit activit•11 does it fit?
Improving access for thr elderly and the physically handicapped
is important in the "development of viable communities'': because
of the resulting "reduction of isolation". Encouragement of
bicycle usage for commuting and recreation, by means of curb-
cuts, ia essential, particularly for young persons or persons
of low income to whom automobile ownership and use is impracti-
cal or burdensome, in the "development of viable communities",
and for the "reduction of isolation".
(2) Ite.~ 5 under Eligible Activities: "Special projects to remcve
architectural barriers restricting mobility cf elderly and
handicapped", and Item 4 of Palo Alto's Needs and Long-Term
Objectives: "Provide safe, economical and comfortable surfaces
and ways for travel by vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians
including the physically handicapped and assist in maintaining
traffic safety and minimizing traffic congestion" (underlining
added). •
