r*`, RCAC www rcac.org Introduction The Islander Mobile Home Park (MHP) is located in the City of Manteca, San Joaquin County, California. Islander MHP has an aging wastewater system that is out of regulatory compliance with the County and Regional Board's permit requirements. Islander MHP would like to pursue planning application funding to scope the feasibility of consolidation with City of Manteca wastewater treatment facility. To be eligible for optimal funding options, Islander MHP needs to establish the Median Household Income (MHI) for the wastewater service area boundary. Islander MHP requested that Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC), a private, nonprofit organization, perform the MHI survey under a grant from the Health and Human Services program for submittal to the State Water Resource Control Board-Division of Financial Assistance (SWRCB-DFA). Survey Validity Period The survey results are valid for up to five years from the date of the final survey report. The Funding Agency holds the right to audit the data five years from the date of the final report. The Funding Agency is not obligated to use the income survey MHI to determine funding eligibility if there is reason to believe the data is no longer accurate. Survey Rationale Islander Mobile Home Park is situated across two non-disadvantaged block groups and the available MHI data for the wastewater service area boundary may not be representative. Islander MHP requested RCAC conduct an income survey to determine the Disadvantaged Community (DAC) status for planning grant funding eligibility. The addresses of those surveyed are attached and titled "Resident List of The Islander Mobile Home Park" (see Exhibit B, pages 13-15). Income Survey Methodology Funding agency guidelines require that an impartial agency conduct the income survey using an approved format. A unique survey number is randomly assigned to each household receiving a survey questionnaire to maintain the respondent's anonymity. The customer's personal information (name, phone, etc.) is considered confidential and is not provided to any funding agency or other entity. RCAC will retain the original survey forms containing personal information on file at their corporate office, 3120 Freeboard Drive, Suite 201, West Sacramento, California, 95691 for seven (7) years. The owners of Islander MHP provided RCAC with addresses for the units used in the survey. RCAC developed the letters and survey form based on the Policy for Developing the Fund Islander Mobile Home Park,MHI Final Report: Prepared by RCAC—October 2022 3
