8/9/23, 3:41 PM Fair and Secure Housing Project https://www.zoomgrants.com/rapp2.asp?rfpid=3776&propid=380588&dtype=official&ftype=&f=10/10 Report 2 The original purpose of this grant was the following: Centro Legal proposes to provide legal consultations, representation, outreach, and tenant education services to low-income Pleasanton tenants facing housing instability, eviction and potential displacement. Additionally, we will advise and assist clients with other tenant/landlord related matters and provide legal representation when appropriate. Our services model provides pre-eviction consultation in addition to eviction representation, and through outreach and education, we are able to address threats to housing stability early. Information sharing through know-your-rights workshops empowers communities to assert their rights. Centro Legal’s proposed staffing pattern for this program reflects a multilingual/multicultural team of staff, ensuring access to interpretation services for all residents participating in this program. Pleasanton tenants access this project with the help of outreach efforts including flyering and partnerships with community-based organizations, Tri-Valley specific know your rights workshops that will include 1:1 consultations, and the ac-housingsecure.org website. These efforts help us connect with tenants who are at increased risk of displacement, and has already increased our ability to connect with Pleasanton tenants. Alameda County’s housing crisis and its impact on low-income tenants is currently being exacerbated and amplified by inflation and the lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are seeing the impacts on Pleasanton tenants every day. This project enables us to intervene early and provide advice and representation to prevent displacement, and will be critical moving forward, especially as the eviction wave is fully realized over the coming months. We will spend down this entire grant.
