Housing Needs Assessment City of Pleasanton | A-37 <br />Over the past two decades, there has been a shift to a more permanent workforce for many farms, <br />which has shifted the bulk of the housing need from seasonal housing for migrant workers to <br />permanently affordable housing for low wage working families. While both types of housing are <br />needed, farmworker housing is no longer solely a rural issue. Farmworker populations have <br />declined while at the same time trends for farmworkers have resulted in longer commutes (up to <br />75 miles per the USDA) for this population. Local jurisdictions with an agriculture-based economy <br />are responsible for addressing the needs of farmworkers and their families through affirmatively <br />furthering fair housing (AFFH) analysis. <br />As a result, there is not an explicit need for housing for farmworkers and their families (as opposed <br />to housing for other low wage households), as Pleasanton does not have an “agriculture-based <br />economy”. However, other housing types promoted in the Housing Element, such as housing for <br />low-income households and multi-family housing, can also serve farmworkers (e.g., Programs <br />1.5, 5.6, etc.). <br />People Experiencing Homelessness <br />Homelessness remains an urgent challenge in many communities across the state, reflecting a <br />range of social, economic, and psychological factors. Rising housing costs result in increased <br />risks of community members experiencing homelessness. Unhoused individuals and families <br />living arrangement may vary and could include living on the streets or outdoors (e.g., in parks or <br />encampment areas), sleeping in vehicles, staying in a homeless shelter or transitional housing, <br />staying in a hotel or motel, or sharing housing of other people (e.g., living in doubled-up <br />arrangements or couch-surfing). Far too many residents who have found themselves housing <br />insecure have become unhoused in recent years, either temporarily or longer term. Addressing <br />the specific housing needs for the unhoused population remains a priority throughout the region, <br />particularly since homelessness is disproportionately experienced by people of color, people with <br />disabilities, those struggling with addiction and those dealing with traumatic life circumstances. <br />In Alameda County, the most common type of household experiencing homelessness is those <br />without children in their care. Among households experiencing homelessness that do not have <br />children, 84.0 percent are unsheltered. Of homeless households with children, most are sheltered <br />in emergency shelter (see Figure A-26).
