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 DevelopmentlUnemployment <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 />
