F-44 | City of Pleasanton Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing <br />Homelessness <br />According to the Housing Needs Assessment, Pleasanton’s population experiencing <br />homelessness grew four-fold over four years, from 18 individuals in 2017 to 72 individuals in 2022. <br />(The homeless population increased only modestly, however, between 2019 and 2022, from 70 to <br />72 individuals, based on Point in Time Count information.) Many homeless individuals also <br />experience mental health and substance abuse issues, which can both compound the challenges <br />of being without adequate shelter and make it more challenging to find housing solutions to <br />accommodate their specific needs. <br />According to the Alameda County AI, as of 2019 there are 8,022 individuals experiencing <br />homelessness across the county which is a 42 percent increase since 2017. In 2022, this number <br />increased to 9,747 individuals, representing a 21.5 percent increase since 2019. Anecdotally, <br />during the fair housing outreach events, staff heard a story from a community member that <br />experienced homelessness for a period when her rent was increased by $400 a month and she <br />could no longer afford to rent the unit due to the huge spike. She was able to locate stable housing, <br />however, was not connected to the services she needed quick enough to prevent the period of <br />homelessness. For additional information on homelessness and resources for persons <br />experiencing homelessness in Pleasanton is described in the Housing Needs Assessment <br />(Appendix A). <br />Several programs are included in this Housing Element to specifically address the issue of <br />homelessness, including dedication of local resources to assist homeless individuals and those at <br />risk of becoming homeless, developing an Alternative Mental Health Response team who can work <br />alongside the City’s existing Homeless Outreach Team, and directly funding regional projects to <br />provide short- and long-range housing opportunities. <br />F.4.6 Other Relevant Factors <br />Rates of Homeownership by Race and Ethnicity <br />Homeownership rates often vary considerably across race/ethnicity in the Bay Area and <br />throughout the country. These disparities not only reflect differences in income and wealth but also <br />stem from federal, state, and local policies that limited access to homeownership for communities <br />of color while facilitating homebuying for White residents. While many of these policies, such as <br />redlining, have been formally disbanded, the impacts of race-based policy are still evident across <br />Bay Area communities. In Pleasanton in 2019, 26.5 percent of Black households owned their <br />homes, while homeownership rates were 72.1 percent for Asian households, 48.0 percent for <br />Latinx households, and 71.2 percent for White households. The 2019 ACS data for percentages <br />of occupied housing units by race is presented in Table F-10.
