Staff recommends a financial support of $120,000 ($80,000 <br />HOME funds for rental subsidies and $40,000 LIHF for case management) to this program <br />in FY 2024/25. In the current FY2023/24, the program assisted two households to exit into <br />permanent housing. The program is currently subsidizing four households and has eight <br />households enrolled in the program. <br />Centro Legal de la Raza / Tri-Valley Fair and Secure Housing Project <br />Centro Legal de la Raza (Centro Legal) is a legal services agency protecting and <br />advancing the rights of low-income renters through bilingual legal representation, <br />education, and advocacy. Centro Legal is requesting $46,500 in funding to provide legal <br />consultations, representation, outreach, and tenant education services to low-income <br />Pleasanton tenants facing housing instability, eviction, and potential displacement. Staff <br />recommends continued financial support of $46,500 LIHF funds to this program in FY <br />2024/25, particularly since eviction filings have increased significantly since the Alameda <br />County eviction moratorium expired on April 29, 2023. In the first half of FY2023/24, Centro <br />Legal provided legal consultations to three clients and legal representation to three other <br />clients from Pleasanton. <br />CityServe of the Tri-Valley / Homeless Intervention and Crisis Stabilization Program <br />CityServe has applied for $80,000 to provide vital non-clinical assistance to Pleasanton <br />individuals and families facing homelessness or housing crises. CityServe care <br />coordinators work with participants by utilizing subsidy funding for security deposits for new <br />housing, rental assistance, utilities, hotel shelters, and car repair for those living in cars. <br />CityServe also refers participants to programs for mental health services, addiction <br />services, employment navigation, and medical needs. The CityServe team has been <br />working and will continue to work closely with Pleasanton Police, City staff, and other <br />service providers to identify Pleasanton residents who are homeless and on the street. <br />Staff recommends continued financial support of $80,000 LIHF funds for this program in FY <br />2024/25. <br />CRIL / Housing & Independent Living Services <br />CRIL has applied for $16,000 in City LIHF funds to continue to provide independent living <br />and housing services to low- and very low-income Pleasanton residents with disabilities <br />improve their level of independence.
