or impact surfaces that would result in adverse human health effects. Common sources of lead <br /> poisoning are lead-based paint hazards from dust, deteriorated paint, and contaminated soil. <br /> No new programs are being considered for the five-year period to reduce lead-based paint hazards in as <br /> much as the City's housing stock is generally young (post-1978) and in good condition and unlike to be <br /> exposed to the lead. Mitigations are currently implemented on an as needed basis in conjunction with <br /> County administered Housing Rehabilitation and Minor Home Repair Program activities. The City is not <br /> currently a party to the joint powers agreement which established Alameda County's existing lead <br /> abatement program. However, Pleasanton is likely to increase its involvement in lead based paint <br /> hazard reduction as involvement in housing rehabilitation programs increases in the future. The City will <br /> continue its collaboration with the Alameda County Lead Hazard Prevention Program on marketing and <br /> outreach efforts in the Tri-Valley area. <br /> Through its subrecipients of federal funds,the City conducts lead-based paint inspections on tenant- <br /> based rental assistance for HOME units built before 1978 as required as part of the Uniform Physical <br /> Condition Standards(UPCS) inspections which replaced the Housing Quality Standard (HQS) <br /> Inspections. Lead inspections are also conducted as a part of any grants or loans for owner-occupied or <br /> rental units funded through the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program. <br /> Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families <br /> A primary strength of the housing and community development delivery systems is the coordination of <br /> efforts between the jurisdictions and the groups that oversee these efforts on an inter-jurisdictional <br /> basis. An additional strength is the level of coordination between service providers, particularly those <br /> addressing housing needs of the homeless,special needs populations, and housing <br /> providers. Pleasanton participates on the Alameda County HOME Consortium Technical Advisory <br /> Committee(HOME TAC)which is comprised of staff from the member jurisdictions and the County. The <br /> HOME TAC meets bi-monthly to discuss programmatic and policy matters relating to the HOME program <br /> as well as broader federal housing and community development funding sources. <br /> Many collaboration efforts are coordinated at the County level. The Shelter Plus Care and the <br /> Supportive Housing Program serve the homeless through housing rental assistance and supportive <br /> services and aim to reduce the number of people living in poverty in the County. Consortium <br /> jurisdictions are working to implement the EveryOne Home Plan, which includes representatives from <br /> local jurisdictions,service providers and advocates, homeless or formerly homeless persons, <br /> representatives of the faith community, business and labor representatives, education and health care <br /> professionals. <br /> The Workforce Investment Board emphasizes private sector, employer-driven job training <br /> programs. The Alameda County Self-Sufficiency Program is designed to operate as a single, integrated <br /> system for the delivery of work-first, employment focused services. It complies with federal Temporary <br /> Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) and Food Stamp Employment and Training requirements and <br /> DRAFT Annual Action Plan 35 <br /> 2023 <br /> OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.09/30/2021) <br />
