Page - 3 - Abode Services / Tri-Valley Rapid Rehousing Program Abode Services’ Tri-Valley Rapid Rehousing Program project provides tenant-based rental assistance, which is eligible under the HOME program. As indicated in the table, Abode has requested $80,000 for tenant-based rent subsidies (which the City has traditionally funded through HOME). The remaining funding requested ($40,000) would be for case management and related housing services and would be eligible for funding through the LIHF as in the past. Centro Legal de la Raza / Fair and Secure Housing Project Centro Legal de la Raza (Centro Legal) is a legal services agency protecting and advancing the rights of low-income renters through bilingual legal representation, education, and advocacy. Centro Legal is requesting $46,500 in funding to provide legal consultations, representation, outreach, and tenant education services to low-income Pleasanton tenants facing housing instability, eviction, and potential displacement. Centro Legal provides pre-eviction consultation in addition to eviction representation. CityServe of the Tri-Valley / Homeless Intervention and Crisis Stabilization Program CityServe has applied for $80,000 to provide vital non-clinical assistance to individuals and families facing homelessness or housing crises. The CityServe team has been working and will continue to work closely with Pleasanton Police, City staff, and other service providers to identify people who are homeless and on the street. This program was funded last year using LIHF funds. Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL) / Housing & Independent Living Services CRIL’s Housing & Independent Living Services has been historically funded with LIHF funds. Its funding request of $16,000 will provide extremely low-and very low-income Pleasanton residents who have a disability with housing search assistance, peer counseling, independent living skills and travel training. ECHO Housing / Housing Counseling Services The application from ECHO Housing (ECHO) for $40,000 represents a project that has been funded in previous fiscal years using LIHF funds. ECHO meets federal requirements for making available a range of housing counseling services including fair housing counseling and investigation, tenant/landlord counseling and dispute resolution, rental assistance for delinquent rent and deposits, and general home- seeking information. These services are an important part of the continuum of housing services available for Pleasanton residents. Goodness Village / Tiny Homes Community Goodness Village is a “tiny homes community” providing permanent supportive housing program intentionally designed for people to successfully transition out of chronic homelessness. Currently, 9 of the 28 Goodness Village residents are Pleasanton residents. Goodness Village is requesting $58,874.40 for 1 case manager position who provides mental health support and housing retention services to all program participants. Housing Rehabilitation Program As the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Program (HRP) administrator, Habitat for Humanity is requesting $80,000 to provide critical health and safety home repairs to Pleasanton homeowners who are cost- burdened and economically vulnerable and do not have the resources to invest in needed home improvements. This program has utilized City LIHF funds, federal HOME and CDBG funds. Any federal funds allocated to this program will be assessed once the federal funds allocations are provided to the City.
