Capital/Rehab Funding Recommendations As discussed earlier, the City is required to set aside funding for its annual payment on the Section 108 loan that was used to assist the Axis Community Health Clinic rehab project, in 2015. This amount is $23,184 and is included in Attachment 1. Staff is recommending that remaining CDBG funds for capital and rehab activities (approximately $184,033 depending upon the final CDBG allocation received from HUD) be directed toward the Tri-Valley Haven (TVH) capital improvement project and CityServe of the Tri-Valley Facility Build Out. The commission is aware of TVH's facility rehab needs from prior discussions with the agency. TVH is finalizing the design of the project and expects to begin construction upon the selection of a general contractor in the coming months with an anticipated completion by the end of year. An additional $130,000 of CDBG capital funds is being recommended to this existing project. CityServe, on the other hand, has submitted an application for CDBG capital funds in order to make tenant improvements at a space at the City of Livermore's Multi-Service Center. CityServe will be relocating into the Multi-Service Center, but they need to convert the office space into a more purposeful space that would allow them to provide the best services for their clients. Staff is recommending $54,033 of CDBG capital funds for this project. Applications Not Recommended for Funding Staff is recommending to fund all 27 applicants. Summary of Housing-Related Applications (For Housing Commission Review) The following applications pertain to the housing-related projects and services that will be reviewed by the Housing Commission at its meeting on March 21, 2019.

Abode Services/ Tri-Valley Rapid Re-housing Program Abode Services has applied for a total of$150,000 in HHSG funding for the Tri- Valley Housing Rapid Re-housing Program (TVRRP) which would provide housing support services and temporary subsidies to households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in Pleasanton. Of the total amount, $95,305 would be for rent subsidies which are traditionally funded using federal HOME funds. Staff plans to recommend continued financial support for the TVRRP using $95,305 of federal HOME funds and $54,695 of LIHF funds for administrative costs. CityServe of the Tri Valley/Homeless Street Outreach/Homelessness Prevention CityServe has applied for $50,000 to provide street outreach services in Pleasanton to individuals who are homeless, extremely vulnerable, and currently disconnected from services.
