The City continues to make efforts to address homelessness in the community. In its <br />HCD-required PLHA Five-Year Plan, the City outlined in detail the manner in which the <br />City will use its PLHA allocation funds. The Professional Services Agreements with <br />CityServe of the Tri-Valley and Tri-Valley Haven formalizes the homeless-related <br />services that would be provided for Pleasanton residents. <br />CityServe's and Tri-Valley Haven's respective funding is $306,071 each, which is 50 <br />percent of the PLHA funding less an allowable 5 percent for the City's administrative <br />costs.

With its allocation of PLHA funds, CityServe will <br />provide: 1) Housing relocation and stabilization and short- and/or medium-term <br />minimum of 6 months) rental assistance to help homeless individuals or families to <br />move as quickly as possible into permanent housing, and 2) supportive/case <br />management services that include street outreach, mental health services, emergency <br />health services, employment assistance and job training, life skills training, and <br />substance abuse treatment services. <br />Tri-Valley Haven — Proposed Agreement for PLHA Program Funds <br />Tri-Valley Haven had to close one of its two emergency domestic violence shelters due <br />to mold and structural health and safety concerns. The PLHA funds would be utilized to <br />assist with the rental, utilities, and phone costs, and motel stays for the 30 residents that <br />had to be relocated while Tri-Valley Haven is working toward the full re-construction of a <br />new shelter. <br />Future PLHA Program Funding <br />As previously stated, the City has applied for and been awarded its 2019, 2020, and <br />2021 PLHA program allocations in the total amount of $644,361. The City is currently <br />waiting for HCD to issue a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to be able to secure its <br />2022 and 2023 PLHA allocations. Additionally, as an established permanent funding <br />source, there is an expectation that the PLHA program will continue as currently <br />structured after the existing 5-year plan period ends in 2023. If the City remains eligible <br />to continue to receive PLHA program funds beyond 2023, City staff expects to have the <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: E7B3E5BA-CB45-4196-BD8A-44D93DC64FA1
