The City continues to make efforts to address homelessness in the community. In its HCD-required PLHA Five-Year Plan, the City outlined in detail the manner in which the City will use its PLHA allocation funds. The Professional Services Agreements with CityServe of the Tri-Valley and Tri-Valley Haven formalizes the homeless-related services that would be provided for Pleasanton residents. CityServe's and Tri-Valley Haven's respective funding is $306,071 each, which is 50 percent of the PLHA funding less an allowable 5 percent for the City's administrative costs. Please see below.

With its allocation of PLHA funds, CityServe will provide: 1) Housing relocation and stabilization and short- and/or medium-term (minimum of 6 months) rental assistance to help homeless individuals or families to move as quickly as possible into permanent housing, and 2) supportive/case management services that include street outreach, mental health services, emergency health services, employment assistance and job training, life skills training, and substance abuse treatment services.

The PLHA funds would be utilized to assist with the rental, utilities, and phone costs, and motel stays for the 30 residents that had to be relocated while Tri-Valley Haven is working toward the full re-construction of a new shelter. Future PLHA Program Funding As previously stated, the City has applied for and been awarded its 2019, 2020, and 2021 PLHA program allocations in the total amount of $644,361.
