Collaborative, is jointly administered with the City of Berkeley, with 15 certificates going to <br /> Berkeley, and 34 to cover the City of Oakland and the HOME Consortium. <br /> HCD administers a Project -Based Rental Assistance (PRA) grant to provide 14 units of <br /> permanent supported housing at Alameda Point.

HPRP is focused on housing for homeless and at -risk households and will <br /> provide temporary financial assistance and housing relocation and stabilization services to <br /> individuals and families who are homeless or would be homeless but for the assistance. The <br /> City of Pleasanton did not receive a direct allocation of HPRP funds from HUD. However, <br /> the City worked with Livermore, Dublin, and other jurisdictions within Alameda County to <br /> submit a successful joint application through the State NOFA (Notice of Funding <br /> Application) pass - through allocation for $900,000 in HPRP funds. The funds are being <br /> administered by a Tri- Valley collaborative that involves three "partners" to carry out the <br /> three program components required in the HPRP application guidelines: <br /> 1. Overall administration of the program is being provided by the City of Livermore <br /> Horizons Program which serves as the regional "hub"; <br /> 2. Homelessness prevention services (e.g., emergency shelter, case management, <br /> referral, etc.) are being coordinated by ECHO Housing; and <br /> 3. Rapid re- housing services are being provided by Abode Services (formerly Tri-City <br /> Homeless Coalition) based on a model similar to the existing Tri - Valley Housing <br /> Scholarship Program (TVHSP). <br /> Eligible activities include either financial assistance to help pay for housing, or services <br /> deigned to keep people in housing or to find housing. Financial assistance may include; <br /> rental assistance, security and utility deposits, utility payments, moving cost assistance and <br /> motel vouchers. Housing relocation and stabilization services may include case <br /> management, outreach. housing placement, legal services, and financial education/credit <br /> repair services. A portion of funds, as specified by the HUD and eligible through the State <br /> NOFA (up to 5 %) are being applied for program administrative costs. The collaborative may <br /> apply for additional HPRP funds if the opportunity arises. <br /> FY 2011 Amount(s): [see narrative above] <br /> Action Plan - FY 2011 <br /> City of Pleasanton <br /> Page 6 <br />
