HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT August 7, 2019 Item 6 TITLE: DISCUSS AND IDENTIFY A TRI -VALLEY CRITICAL HUMAN SERVICE NEED TO ADDRESS A HUMAN SERVICES NEEDS ASSESSMENT STRATEGIC ACTION SUMMARY In the City of Pleasanton Human Services Needs Assessment, Updated Strategic Plan 2018-2022, the commission recommended the strategic action to Revise Human Services Commission Grant -making Protocols/RFPs (Request for Proposal) including exploration of multi-year contracts with core safety -net service providers. At the April 17, 2018 meeting, City Council authorized the exploration of a multi-year service agreement concept to help address the most critical human service needs in the Tri -Valley. This agenda item will likely lead to the exploration of a multi-year service agreement, but first, a Tri -Valley critical human service need must be identified through commission discussion and a subsequent recommendation (s). Seven human service needs are addressed in the City of Pleasanton Human Services Needs Assessment Updated Strategic Plan 2018-2020, Attachment 1. These seven needs are the basis of discussion in order to identify and recommend a current critical human service need. RECOMMENDATION Discuss and identify a Tri -Valley critical human service need to address a human services needs assessment strategic action. FINANCIAL STATEMENT There is no immediate cost associated with this process; however, it may result in reduced funding levels for the annual Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) Program, as funding for a multi-year service agreement would come from existing funding sources through the HHSG program.
