Mr. Hernandez addressed concerns about <br /> abuse stating that City of Pleasanton clientele that Habitat has contacted are mainly seniors. <br /> He noted that Habitat would be managing and maintaining all projects and funds are not being <br /> given to the clients. <br /> Commissioner Duggan stated that she felt the grant and loan amount recommendation was <br /> good and wanted to be sure no other changes would be made.
