Area (CSA),the special district which funds lead poisoning prevention efforts in the Cites of Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville,and Oakland. Pleasanton is not currently a member of the CSA. ACLPPP provides technical assistance to local agencies to encourage the incorporation of lead-safe practices into existing and planned programs affecting health, housing and environmental health. In order to achieve the Federal and State 2010 goal for the elimination of childhood lead poisoning, significant resources will be needed to educate property owners of their responsibilities, develop a trained construction workforce, provide financial assistance for low-income privately-owned housing and develop a compliance infrastructure of local agencies.ACLPPP applied under the FY 2005 SuperNOFA for funds to continue the Lead Hazard Control Grant Program and Healthy Homes Demonstration Project and is seeking out additional resources, opportunities and partnerships to support the 2010 goal. The Housing and Community Development Department conducts lead-based paint inspections on tenant-based rental assistance for HOME and HOPWA units built before 1978 on an annual basis. Units that are managed by the Alameda County Housing Authority also conduct lead inspections as a part of the Housing Quality Standard (HQS) Inspections for all Shelter Plus Care participants. Lead-based paint inspections would also take place for any homeownership programs administered by HOME, CDBG, Alameda County Housing Trust Fund and Redevelopment funding. Each HOME jurisdiction also has its own lead-based paint inspection program and requirement that are in compliance with HUD regulations. Starting in 2010,the City of Pleasanton began to routinely compile lead paint data for each new residential rehabilitation project processed through the Housing Rehabilitation Program (administered by Neighborhood Solutions), including assumed lead present, lead safe work practices followed,testing, abatement, and clearance test performed. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The majority of programs that are aimed at addressing poverty are coordinated at the County level. For example,the Section 8 housing subsidy voucher program is coordinated in Pleasanton through the Housing Authority of Alameda County(HACA) and is an essential piece of the anti-poverty strategy countywide. In FY 2013,the City will continue to consider supporting requests by residents of subsidized housing complexes serving families, seniors, and the disabled to receive additional rent subsidies. As described earlier,the City of Pleasanton, in collaboration with the City of Livermore and Abode Services (formerly Tri City Homeless Coalition), implemented a Housing Scholarship Program for Tri- Valley residents in FY 1999.The program was modeled on the City of Fremont's successful program. Administration of the program by Abode Services is being funded through City of Pleasanton funds and by other sources mobilized by Abode. Rent subsidies are being funded by each local jurisdiction using federal HOME funds.As noted in the preceding table,the City will apply City General Funds and Lower Annual Action Plan 37 2013 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
