Priority: Public Service Support Introduction The City of Pleasanton supports a wide array of non profit agencies which provide needed services in the community. Support comes in part from the 15% of the City's annual CDBG funding which may be allocated toward public services. In addition, the City Council made a commitment several years ago to allocate General Funds to fund certain public services and established an application process called the "City Grant Program." As discussed earlier, both programs were recently consolidated into the new consolidated Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) program. The HHSG program also offers federal and local funds for capital improvements and rehabilitation projects that are related to the provision of public services. The City Council and Human Services Commission evaluate applications for service funding based on local need and agency capacity. In some cases, financial assistance has been provided to agencies based outside of Pleasanton provided that they serve Pleasanton residents. The City has continued to make adjustments to its annual funding allocation process for public service providers through efforts such as the introduction of the new HHSG program. The City's Human Services Commission holds annual joint meetings with its counterpart at the City of Livermore to discuss public service issues of joint interest and receive input from local service providers. As in the past, potential decreases in funding during the five -year period may limit the City's ability to fund needed public services and /or decrease support for local service agencies.
