Page 3 of 8 <br />Activities Recommended for LIHF & HOME Funding <br />As outlined above, the City received eight (8) applications for eligible programs to be funded <br />by HOME or LIHF funds. As in prior years, staff is recommending the funding of “housing <br />services” programs at a level that is generally comparable to past funding levels. For each <br />application, staff considered many factors in developing the funding recommendation, <br />including whether the program addresses a core safety net service identified in the City’s <br />updated Human Services Strategic Plan; whether the program meets the City’s HUD <br />Consolidated Plan strategic goals; and a program’s past year performance and funding level. <br />Staff also have discussions with Dublin and Livermore human services staff to assess <br />adequate funding levels for the programs. <br />These projects are summarized below, along with current cycle requested amounts, prior year <br />funding amounts and recommended funding for FY2024/25. <br />Table 1: Summary of HOME and LIHF-Eligible Applications and Staff Funding <br />Recommendations <br />Agency <br />Name Project Name FY23/24 <br />Allocation <br />FY24/25 <br />Request <br />FY24/25 Staff <br />Recommendation <br />% of <br />Request <br />Abode <br />Services - <br />Rapid Rehousing Program <br />Tenant-Based Rental Assistance <br />Case Management / Admin <br />$80,000 <br />$40,000 <br />$80,000 <br />$40,000 <br />$80,000 (HOME) <br />$40,000 (LIHF) <br />100% <br />100% <br />Centro Legal <br />de la Raza Fair and Secure Housing Project $46,628 $46,500 $46,500 (LIHF) 100% <br />CityServe Homeless Intervention and Crisis <br />Stabilization Program $80,000 $80,000 $80,000 (LIHF) 100% <br />CRIL Housing & Independent <br />Living Services $15,000 $16,000 $16,000 (LIHF) 100% <br />ECHO <br />Housing Housing Counseling Services $40,000 $40,000 $40,000 (LIHF) 100% <br />Goodness <br />Village Tiny Home Community $57,720 $58,874 $58,874 (LIHF) 100% <br />Habitat for <br />Humanity Housing Rehabilitation Program $80,000 $55,000 <br />$40,000 <br />$55,000 (HOME) <br />$40,000 (LIHF) 100% <br />Tri-Valley <br />REACH <br />Housing Preventative <br />Maintenance/Repair $40,000 $45,000 $45,000 (LIHF) 100% <br />HOME Subtotal $135,000 <br />LIHF Subtotal $366,374 <br />TOTAL $479,348 $501,374 $501,374 100% <br />A description of the funding requests and recommendations, which would result in the <br />allocation of $501,374 ($366,374 in LIHF funds and $135,0001 in HOME funds) for <br />FY 2024/25, are as follows: <br />1 The City currently has an available HOME funding balance of $307,627 that may be committed to HOME-eligible activities.
