PART I. RESOURCES <br />This section identifies Federal, State, local, and private resources which may be used to meet the <br />City of Pleasanton's housing and community development goals. Resources can be sources of <br />funds or technical assistance and can be available to private and non-profit entities as well as to <br />local government agencies. The resources are categorized within each jurisdictional level by <br />eligible activity. The list includes resources the City has on-hand or expects to receive. Recent <br />developments in Congress indicate that the nature and level of federal housing, homeless, and <br />community development funding programs will change and potentially be reduced during the <br />next several years. The City, through its involvement as part of the Alameda County HOME <br />Consortium, will monitor these developments closely and will continue to promote the <br />Consortium's housing and community development objectives through active policy <br />development and use of available federal and non-federal funding sources. <br />FEDERAL <br />Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds <br />The City of Pleasanton is an entitlement jurisdiction and applies directly to HUD on an <br />annual basis for funding from the CDBG program. CDBG funds can be used for a <br />variety of housing and community development activities which benefit lower income <br />people. <br />FY 2008 Amount: $274,681 <br />CDBG Program Income <br />The City of Pleasanton has received a small amount of program income each year <br />through its Housing Rehabilitation program, primarily through repayment of past loans. <br />Funds derived through program income are recycled into the Housing Rehabilitation <br />program and used to fund new loans and small grants. <br />FY 2008 Amount: $30,000 (approximate/anticipated) <br />Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) Funds <br />CSBG funds are used to maintain community action agencies involved in ameliorating <br />the causes and effects of poverty through employment and economic development <br />programs. The Alameda County Associated Community Action Program (ACAP) <br />administers CSBG funds for all jurisdictions in the county except Berkeley and Oakland. <br />FY 2008 Amount: (no direct allocation to Pleasanton is anticipated) <br />Action Plao - FY08 <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Page 2 <br />
