The City recently redesigned its grant programs into a single consolidated grant program called the Housing and Human Services Grant(HHSG).The HHSG program was developed in 2009 as a refinement and consolidation of four separate grant programs: 1. Federal Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Funds 2. Federal HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Funds 3. City Lower Income Housing Funds for Housing 4. City General Funds for Human Services(formerly"City Grant") The consolidation of these four funding sources into a single streamlined grant program has created greater efficiencies in the allocation of limited funding sources as well as the coordination and delivery of human services.While each source has specific priorities and requirements,there is an overarching priority for funding programs and services that benefit low income residents and for addressing gaps in housing and services. The City of Pleasanton has continued to take a lead role in the activities of the Tri-Valley Affordable Housing Committee (TVAHC),which is made up of representatives of cities in the Livermore Amador Valley area (Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin,San Ramon, and Danville).The TVAHC has actively participated in annual outreach activities promoting public awareness of affordable housing in the Tri- Valley area,working with the East Bay Housing Organizations (EBHO). In addition,the-VAHC initiated the successful establishment of the Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center(TVHOC)which opened in 2005.The TVHOC serves as a "clearing house," initially for ownership programs and ultimately for a continuum of housing assistance of different types in the Tri-Valley.
