The review processes followed by both the Human Services Commission and Housing Commission were similar to last year. Table A in Attachment 1 provides the combined FY 2019/20 HHSG Grant recommendations from the Commissions and Staff. Applications Recommended for Public Services Funding The City has allocated General Fund money to support the provision of important human services in Pleasanton. These local funds are supplemented by federal CDBG "public services" funds. Applications were reviewed by the Human Services Commission at its March 6 meeting. The minutes from the meeting are included as Attachment 2. The Human Services Commission reviewed, scored, and ranked applications through the online grants management system and evaluated projects against the funding priorities it adopted in October 2018 [based on the most recent Tri-Valley Human Services Needs Assessment (2011) and Updated Strategic Plan (2018-2022)]. The 2019 HSC priorities for funding programs are as follows: 1 . Programs that prioritize the "core services" identified in the recently adopted "City of Pleasanton Updated Human Services Needs Assessment" (disability services and access, food and nutrition, health care and behavioral health, homelessness in the Tri-Valley, senior services, service provider critical initiatives, workforce development/unemployment, youth services). 2. Programs that demonstrate service coordination and collaboration, prevention, and self-sufficiency. 3. The agency running the program has registered with Alameda County 2-1-1 and Ptownlife.org. On March 6, the Human Services Commission held a hearing for grant applicants during which they heard presentations from applicants prior to their funding deliberation.
