Housing Element AFFH Survey Summary 2 was posted or “active” for 30 days, starting April 1, 2022, through May 1, 2022. The survey generated 293 unique responses. Zoom focus groups were conducted with organizations which work with traditionally underserved populations, as well as with employee groups, including La Familia, St. Clare’s Episcopal Church and St. Bart’s Episcopal Church, Pleasanton Downtown Restaurant Association, and the Association of Pleasanton Teachers and Association of Pleasanton staff. Staff discussed housing concerns/needs and learned about additional outreach opportunities with these groups. Exhibit 1 includes a summary from these focus groups. The AC Collaborative Community-Based Organizations Panel was a discussion on Zoom, held April 25, 2022 with representatives from local community-based organizations: East Bay Community Law Center, El Timpano, Centro Legal de la Raza, Legal Assistance for Seniors, Easy Bay Innovations, Eviction Defense Center, and La Familia. Exhibit 2 includes a summary from this meeting. In person outreach events included the following: • City staff tabled in the foyer of Muslim Community Center (MCC) East Bay during three prayer services. Staff interacted with several members of MCC and discussed housing concerns/needs, distributed over 50 survey flyers in addition to members taking photos of the quick response (QR) code, and gathered approximately 40 contacts for the Housing Element email Distribution list. • Staff met with one downtown Pleasanton restaurant staff member to discuss housing concerns/needs (the meeting was primarily conducted in Spanish). The restaurant staff member indicated that the other restaurant employees were hesitant and concerned to meet with staff and he would share collective opinions/thoughts that had been communicated by his colleagues. Staff distributed a flyer and contact information. • Staff tabled at a Día del Niño event hosted by La Familia at the Livermore library. The event was attended by many families with children. Staff discussed housing concerns/needs in both Spanish and English, provided flyers in Spanish and English advertising the survey, and set up engagement boards to solicit feedback. The above efforts supplement the other broad outreach that has been conducted throughout the Housing Element process, including a City website that is translatable into multiple languages, and messaging in Chinese, Spanish and Hindi on publications about upcoming events and information.
