AP-50 Geographic Distribution - 91.420, 91.220(f) Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration)where assistance will be directed The City of Pleasanton receives an allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which may be used for eligible activities, eligible households, and/or eligible areas within its jurisdiction. The CDBG funds are allocated according to a formula based on population data from the 2010 Census and the number of substandard units in each jurisdiction. All projects listed in the "Proposed Projects" tables are intended and open to serve eligible households within the City of Pleasanton. Census tracts that are located completely or partially within the current Pleasanton city limits are as follows: 4506.01, 4506.02, 4506.03, 4506.04, 4506.05, 4506.06, 4506.07, 4506.43, 4506.46, 4507.01, 4507.41, 4507.42, 4507.44, and 4507.45. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds City-wide 100 Table 7-Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically For many programs using CDBG funds, such as residential or business rehabilitation, the exact location of the activity is not determined prior to funding the program as a whole. Pursuant to the CDBG Program Final Rule in these instances, the Consolidated Plan must identify who may apply for assistance,the process by which the grantee will select those to receive assistance, and how much and under what terms the assistance will be given. The City of Pleasanton has contracted with Neighborhood Solutions in prior fiscal years to administer a Housing Rehabilitation Program (HRP) using CDBG, HOME, and Lower Income Housing funds for loans and grants serving eligible low-income home owners and renters in Pleasanton. In October 2016 the contract to provide HRP services was awarded to Habitat for Humanity. The goal of the program is to conserve, preserve, and improve the housing and neighborhoods by addressing the needs of low income Pleasanton residents. To that end, the program provides grants or low interest loans to qualifying properties and owners to provide a variety of rehabilitation services, such as rental housing rehabilitation, minor and major home repairs, mobile home repairs, exterior paint or clean-up assistance, seismic retrofitting, and accessibility improvements. Based on past experience, units benefitting from the HRP have been spread throughout the community although mobile home grants are by definition focused in the two largest mobile home parks at 3231 and 3263 Vineyard Avenue in east Pleasanton (census tract 4507.42). These two parks are primarily occupied by low-income seniors. The rental rehabilitation program is available to those properties in Pleasanton where at least 51% of the units are occupied by low and very low income households, or in which 51% of the DRAFT Annual Action Plan 24 2018 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015)
