Staff are recommending that all applicants that the Commission has recommended for funding receive their full funding request and that the City Council allocate an additional $67,367 from the General Fund to fully fund recommended applicants. The Human Services Commission evaluated projects against the funding priorities it adopted in September 2019 [based on the most recent Tri-Valley Human Services Needs Assessment (2011) and Updated Strategic Plan (2018-2022)]. The 2020 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 4, 2020 the Human Services Commission held a hearing for grant applicants during which they heard presentations from applicants prior to their funding deliberation. Table 3 provides a summary of the programs reviewed by the Human Services Commission and the funding recommendations for these programs. Staffs recommendation to fully fund applicants is also included to ensure that the increased needs of our community are met in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of these non-profits are an integral in supporting those in our community who are the most vulnerable and will ensure that medical, dental, behavioral health, counseling, job assistance, food and shelter will be available to our residents in need.
