SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL May 6, 2024 2 Agenda Item #19.a 2. Q. Is there a summary/overview of the Habitat for Humanity program relative to grants in the last year? A: For more than two decades, the City of Pleasanton has been providing its residents with a Housing Rehabilitation Program which provides low-income homeowners, who are often seniors and/or are residents with disabilities, with funds to complete health and safety- related repairs to their homes. Habitat for Humanity (Habitat) has been the program administrator since October 2016. The City utilizes two sources of funds for this program: 1) Lower Income Housing Fund (LIHF) is allocated to Habitat’s administrative costs, which include marketing the program, conducting outreach to promote the program which includes answering questions that applicants might have about the program and the application process, reviewing applications for program eligibility, inspecting the homes, managing the program documents, obtaining bids for the projects, managing the projects from construction to completion, and finalizing the projects; and 2) federal HOME funds are used towards funding the actual construction costs for the rehabilitation grants that have been awarded to homeowners. The current maximum grant amount is $15,000. While the program continues to have attrition as “interested” homeowners ultimately decide not to submit their application, the program continues to be a tremendously beneficial program for Pleasanton homeowners who need health and safety repairs to their homes, and is one of the few programs that exists to allow eligible lower-income residents make repairs to their homes that allow them to be livable and safe and to age in place. Since FY 2019, Habitat for Humanity has completed 16 projects, which includes 3 completed projects in this current fiscal year 2023/24, totaling more than $283,000. For FY 2024/25, two projects are preapproved, and Habitat will be reviewing two applications for program eligibility. Agenda Item #20 3. Q. How is an “incident” defined? A: An incident is any call for service where resources were dispatched as well as any activity initiated by any unit. This includes all calls where a person requested service from the department as well as all self-initiated activity. 4. Q. Is activity the same as an incident? If not, how is activity defined, and what is the difference? A: “Activity” is traditionally used to indicate self-initiated responses from any unit type. Incidents are usually where the community calls into the department requesting service. In reference to the report, these terms are used interchangeably, as in Figure 1. 5. Q. What is the explanation for the difference of approximately 30,000 between the 59,841 and the 29,000 shown in Figure 1?
