2. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)). In October 2014, the cities of Pleasanton and Livermore formed a multi - jurisdictional subcommittee specifically to discuss policies and priorities for incorporation into the FY 2015 -19 Consolidated Plan. The subcommittee, comprised of commission and staff representatives from both cities, held two open public meetings which resulted in an updated set of common regional priorities for incorporation into the Con Plan. As stated previously, the City of Pleasanton collaborates with Livermore and Dublin to hold two annual grant kickoff meetings in early December. The City maintains an active database of potential interested parties and uses it to send out notification of grant funding opportunities at the beginning of every application cycle (early December). The list currently includes approximately 250 nonprofit agencies, individuals, and other interested parties. In addition, ads are placed in local newspapers (including the Pleasanton Weekly which is distributed to every household in Pleasanton) and on the City's web site. Representatives from approximately 50 agencies (primarily non - profit) and other interested parties attended the annual meetings held in December 2015 and were able to use these opportunities to learn and provide feedback regarding policies and programs of relevance to the Consolidated Plan. The City has also worked in collaboration regionally on other housing and human services planning and assessment processes including : • The Tri- Valley Human Services Needs Assessment • The Housing Element update (certified in early 2015) to solicit public input regarding goals, policies, and programs for the City's future housing development. The Housing Element process involved two public community workshops, stakeholder consultations, and focus group meetings that took place throughout 2014. Stakeholder meetings involved participation from both non - profit and for - profit groups. 3.
