Expenditure Plan for the Safe and Affordable Drinking Water Fund, Appendix B. Multiagency Income Survey Guidelines established for SWRCB, and United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA-RD) dated August 2021 (see Exhibit C, pages 16-24). A letter of explanation was mailed on May 9, 2022, to all households within the survey area. The first survey letter and form, and a corresponding postage-paid reply envelope was mailed to each household on May 16, 2022. On May 31, 2022, a second survey letter, and a corresponding postage-paid reply envelope was mailed to each household that did not respond to the first survey. On July 6, 2022, a third survey letter, and a corresponding postage-paid reply envelope was mailed to each household that did not respond to the previous requests. RCAC conducted a door- to-door survey of all non-responding residents on June 18, 2022, and July 28, 2022. The survey responses are mailed back to RCAC to maintain customer privacy. The income survey form listed income categories and requested respondents to provide the total household income from the past 12 months. It also asked the respondent how many people reside at the residence, and if the property is a primary home, secondary home, rental property, commercial property, vacant lot, or vacant home. The median household incomes for the project service area survey were calculated by RCAC as follows: The median income is defined as that income in the middle of the data collected from the universe after all incomes are ranked in order from lowest to highest incomes. For example, if there are nine houses surveyed, and the five ranks of income are $10k, $13k, $14k, $19k, $150k, then 14k is the median income because it is two from the top rank and two from the bottom rank. The median may require averaging if you have an even number of universe data available, and the two incomes in the middle are different. The definition of household income is the total income in the past 12 months from all sources, by all members of one single residence. The results of the survey will be used by SWRCB - DFA to measure the community's ability to finance the project and to determine whether assistance in the form of a special low interest loan rate or grant is needed. Upon receiving the completed surveys, RCAC calculated the MHI for the project service area community and submitted the data to the SWRCB—DFA SAFER technical assistance grant administrators. Upon concurrence of the data, RCAC will provide a final report to the City of Manteca.
