The CDBG funding available for FY 2024/25 also includes $130,564 of Program Income the City received from CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation loans that have been repaid. The HOME funding amount is allocated by Alameda County Housing & Community Development (HCD), which administers the HOME program funds on behalf of the Alameda County HOME Consortium, of which Pleasanton is a member. HCD is allocating to Pleasanton $126,314 HOME funds for HOME-eligible activities and $7,655 for administration costs for a total allocation of $133,789 for FY 2024/25. In addition, Pleasanton will be allocating $8,866 of unused HOME funds from previous fiscal years to fully fund the proposed $142,655 HOME budget for FY 2024/25. Human Services Grants The City has allocated General Fund money to support the provision of important human services in Pleasanton. The annual allocation for Human Services Grants is based on a policy adopted by the City Council in 2009, and increases/decreases funding based on the percentage increase/decrease of the City’s General Fund from the prior year. Using this formula, the amount allocated to HHSG is $257,864, which is 2.08% higher than last year’s allocation, based on the commensurate increase in the size of the General Fund since last year. In addition, City General Funds are supplemented by Federal CDBG “public services” funds. The 2024 Human Services Commission priorities for funding programs are projects that address the following populations and/or program areas (listed in alphabetical order): • Disability Services and Access to Senior Services • Food and Nutrition • Health Care & Behavioral Health • Homelessness in the Tri-Valley • Senior Services • Service Provider Critical Initiatives • Workforce Development / Unemployment • Youth Services. The Commission also prioritizes service delivery with an emphasis on: • Coordination and collaboration with other service providers, local nonprofits, and Tri- Valley Cities • Prevention (activities that help to prevent a problem from emerging) • Self-Sufficiency (activities that promote self-reliance and are aimed at reducing dependency on assistance programs and services). On March 6, 2024, the Human Services Commission held a hearing for grant applicants, during which it heard presentations from applicants prior to the Commission’s deliberation on funding allocations (Attachment 1 - Table 2). The City received 19 applications, in total requesting $765,554 in funding. Attachment 1 - Table 2 provides a summary of the programs reviewed by the Human Services Commission and funding recommendations. Each of these organizations are integral in supporting the most vulnerable Pleasanton residents.
