As a result, the HSC has annually developed a Statement of Priorities for the HHSG <br /> process. The HSC feels that the Statement of Priorities addresses the most critical needs and <br /> barriers to service delivery in Pleasanton. <br /> The HSC will prioritize its funding towards projects and/or programs that meet the following general <br /> criteria: <br /> •Priority Needs— Projects that address the following populations and/or program areas:(listed in <br /> alphabetical order) <br /> • Disability Services and Access <br /> • Food and Nutrition <br /> • Health Care and Behavioral Health <br /> • Homelessness in the Tri-Valley <br /> • Senior Services <br /> • Service Provider Critical Initiatives <br /> • Workforce Development/Unemployment <br /> • Youth Services <br /> •Service Delivery with an emphasis in the following areas: <br /> • Coordination and collaboration with other service providers, local nonprofits, and Tri- <br /> Valley Cities. <br /> • Prevention (activities that help prevent a problem from emerging) <br /> • Self-Sufficiency (activities that promote self-reliance and are aimed at reducing <br /> dependency on assistance programs and services) <br /> The HSC will be prioritizing its funding decisions based on the listed criteria. Grant applicants must <br /> ensure that their application describes how their proposal addresses at least one (1) of the priority <br /> needs and at least one (1) of the service delivery emphasis areas. If a proposal does not address at <br /> least one priority need and one service delivery emphasis area, the applicant is requested to provide <br /> justification as to why the project should still be funded. <br /> In addition, agencies will also be required to register with Alameda County 2-1-1 and Ptownlife.org as <br /> a condition of receiving HHSG funds. <br />
