<br />8. Is your agency able to assess that your clients are "eligible beneficiaries" (i.e. low- and moderate-income <br />persons and/or "presumed" beneficiaries, according to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development)? <br />If so, how? If not, please explain how you plan to assess whether your clients are "eligible beneficiaries". <br />Individuals must complete an initial intake and provide information such as income, address, and household size to ensure <br />clients fall within the established low-income guidelines. We use a client management database to track client data. <br /> <br />9. Provide the projected number of PLEASANTON CLIENTS who would be served by this program/project in fiscal <br />year (2024/2025). <br /> <br />10. Please list the total projected number of PLEASANTON CLIENTS your agency proposes to serve through this <br />program/project for each income category below in fiscal year 2024/2025. <br />(The total number of persons indicated in question #9 must match the total number listed in the income categories below.) <br /> <br />11. Provide a brief summary of the program/project, including the population served and how this population will <br />access this program/project, for which your agency is seeking funding. If you do not receiving funding, what would <br />be the impact? <br />Centro Legal proposes to provide legal consultations, representation, outreach, and tenant education services to low-income <br />Pleasanton tenants facing housing instability, eviction and potential displacement. Additionally, we will advise and assist <br />clients with other tenant/landlord related matters and provide legal representation when appropriate. Our services model <br />provides pre-eviction consultation in addition to eviction representation, and through outreach and education, we are able to <br />address threats to housing stability early. Information sharing through know-your-rights (KYR) workshops empowers <br />communities to assert their rights. Centro Legal’s proposed staffing for this program reflects a multilingual/multicultural team <br />of staff, ensuring access to interpretation services for all residents participating in this program. <br /> <br />This project builds on the existing county-wide anti-displacement partnership Alameda County Housing Secure (ACHS) that <br />Centro Legal administers in an effort to scale up legal housing services for Pleasanton tenants. <br /> <br />This project will enable us to intervene early and provide advice and representation to prevent displacement of Pleasanton <br />residents. Pleasanton tenants will access this project with the help of outreach efforts including flyering, partnerships with <br />CBOs and the City, Tri-Valley KYR presentations, and direct 1-on-1 services. Our outreach efforts help connect us with <br />tenants who are at increased risk of displacement. <br /> <br />If we do not receive funding, we would not be able to serve as many tenants. If we receive a reduced amount, we will scale the <br />project accordingly. <br /> <br /> <br />12. For this grant request, please list the agencies you will collaborate with, providing specifics on your <br />collaborative efforts. <br />Centro Legal administers two collaborative anti-displacement programs; partners include - Bay Area Legal Aid, East Bay <br />Community Law Center, Eviction Defence Center, Housing and Economic Rights Advocates, Asian Pacific Islander Legal <br />Outreach, and the Unity Council. Temporary American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allowed us to add new partners for additional <br />services - social service, mediation and outreach providers. These partners include: Safe Passages, Just Cities, East Oakland <br />Community Development Corporation, Causa Justa:: Just Cause, East Side Arts Alliance, Faith in Action East Bay, and <br />Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice. We utilize a Peer-to-Peer system on a Salesforce platform to make warm <br />referrals between our organizations. This benefits Pleasanton tenants and promotes a “no wrong door” entry point to receiving <br />legal services. <br /> <br /> Public Service <br /> Capital Improvement Project <br /> 30 # of Persons <br />30.0030.00 TOTAL <br /> 21 Extremely Low Income (<30% AMI) <br /> 6 Very Low Income (<30-50% AMI) <br /> 2 Low Income (50%-80% AMI) <br /> 1 Moderate Income (80%-120% AMI) <br /> Above Moderate (>120% AMI) <br /> <br />30.0030.00 SUBTOTAL <br />30.0030.00 TOTAL
