Providing these grant funds helps <br />these most vulnerable populations to remain a part of the Pleasanton community and provides <br />them with much needed support and assistance. <br />OUTREACH <br />Applicant agencies were notified of this meeting, invited to attend, and encouraged to speak <br />regarding their financial requests. All eight (8) agencies are available for a brief presentation <br />and to respond to questions regarding their application. The HHSG grants process was widely <br />publicized to area non-profits, and a virtual Zoom application workshop held on December 6, <br />2023, in collaboration with staff from the cities of Dublin and Livermore. HHSG applications for <br />FY2024/25 funding were solicited from December 1, 2023 through January 19, 2024. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />This action advances the following Citywide goals and strategies: ONE Pleasanton Citywide <br />Strategic Plan (Attachment 3): <br />Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs, Strategy 6 – Implement the Housing <br />Element and develop a plan to end homelessness to meet state requirements and provide <br />opportunities for additional housing and shelter in the community. <br />Building a Community Where Everyone Belongs, Strategy 12 – Implement the results of the <br />Human Services Needs Assessment and streamline housing, human services, and <br />community grant programs to increase program participation and access. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />The FY 2024/25 HHSG funding recommendation, which the Housing Commission is <br />reviewing, will provide approximately $501,374 from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 for <br />housing-related programs and services that primarily offer a direct benefit to low-income <br />Pleasanton residents. $366,374 is provided by LIHF funds through account 12230700 and <br />$135,000 in HOME funds through account 12430702.
