Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)). The City's General Plan Housing Element for the 2015-2023 planning period was adopted by the City Council on January 6, 2015. This recent Housing Element update process provided a significant opportunity for public input regarding goals, policies,and programs for the City's future housing development. The Housing Element process was conducted in collaboration with PMC,a consultant specializing in the preparation of local housing elements. The process involved two public community workshops,stakeholder consultations, and focus group meetings that took place throughout 2014. Stakeholder meetings involved participation from both non-profit and for-profit groups, including Community Resources for Independent Living(CRIL), Neighborhood Solutions,Community Housing Developers, Citizens for a Caring Community, Sunflower Hill,the JRB Group,Tri-Valley REACH,Satellite Affordable Housing, MidPen Housing, ROEM Development Corporation, Ponderosa Homes, Habitat for Humanity, and local real estate representatives. The City of Pleasanton collaborates with Livermore and Dublin to hold two annual grant kickoff meetings in early December. The City maintains an active database of potential interested parties and uses it to send out notification of grant funding opportunities at the beginning of every application cycle (early December). The list currently includes approximately 250 nonprofit agencies, individuals, and other interested parties. In addition, ads are placed in local newspapers(including the Pleasanton Weekly which is distributed to every household in Pleasanton)and on the City's web site. Representatives from approximately 60 agencies(primarily non-profit) and other interested parties attended the annual meetings held in December 2019 and were able to use these opportunities to learn and provide feedback regarding policies and programs of relevance to the Consolidated Plan.
