Even when housing is available and a household can afford the rent payment, there are barriers <br /> which make it difficult for households to obtain and maintain the housing. The move -in costs of first <br /> and last month's rent and security deposit are a large barrier to low income households who have <br /> difficulty making ends meet at the end of the month. Any crisis such as job loss, health emergency, <br /> alcohol or drug (AOD) problems can cause the household to begin the spiral into homelessness. <br /> Rental assistance programs are part of the Urban County's efforts to keep individuals and families in <br /> housing. Most of these rental subsidies are directed specifically at populations with disabilities who <br /> tend to be more at risk than other populations of losing their housing. HCD is funded directly by <br /> HUD for Project Independence, a Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Special <br /> Project of National Significance which provides shallow rental assistance and accessibility <br /> modifications to people living with HIV /AIDS throughout Alameda County. <br /> Prevention activities need to be expanded in programs that provide short-term rental assistance, <br /> rental guarantees, move -in costs, and long term rental assistance such as Section 8 to homeless and <br /> very low income people. It is usually less expensive to prevent someone from becoming homeless <br /> then to help them once homeless and far less disruptive to the family. <br /> As an additional countywide program to address homelessness, the County has received <br /> Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re- Housing Program (HPRP) funds through the American <br /> Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Funding for this program is being distributed <br /> based on the formula used for the Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) program. A regional hub has <br /> been established in Livermore to distribute resources and services in the East County region. <br /> The HPRP funds have created an opportunity for jurisdictions within the County to centralize and <br /> coordinate homeless service systems in order to enhance delivery, and create more effective and <br /> efficient programs. Alameda County is comprised of fifteen different jurisdictions. Each <br /> jurisdiction has agreed to create distinct geographic hubs in order to provide HPRP services. <br /> Households in need of assistance will be able to access a centralized referral system by calling 211, <br /> who will refer callers to the HPRP hub in their area. Each geographic hub may include linkages to <br /> existing resources for homelessness prevention and rapid re- housing other than HPRP, including <br /> programs funded through the Continuum of Care process. <br /> Objectives <br /> The objectives presented in this section reflect the broad areas which will be pursued under this <br /> priority. Implementation will be contingent on current and projected need, availability of financial <br /> and other resources, and regular re- assessment of the proposed objectives and accomplishments. <br /> Strategic Plan FY2010 FY2014 <br /> City of Pleasanton <br /> Page 30 <br />
