Rehabilitation of homeless shelter in Newark. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION All of the activities described above will serve Pleasanton residents. The Tri- Valley Haven shelter and community service building, the new transitional housing project, and some of the homeless services in the area are located in Livermore but serve residents of the greater Tri- Valley area. Priority: Maintain and expand activities designed to prevent those currently housed from becoming homeless. Priority Analysis and Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs For many people, housing is typically the largest expense in the household budget. Federal, state, and local housing programs frequently require that low income households should pay no more than 30% of their gross income towards housing costs. The National Low Income Housing Coalition found that in order to afford the median fair market rent for a two bed -room unit in Alameda County it would require a job that paid $24.90 per hour at 40 hours per week. (Present State minimum wage is $8.00 per hour). The more housing costs rise, the less disposable income low income households have for other necessities, including food, health care, and education. Most low income families live from paycheck to paycheck and are only one paycheck away from losing their current housing. Strategic Plan FY2010 FY2014 City of Pleasanton Page 29
