• The City sponsors, through an annual contribution of HOME administration funds, the <br />efforts of the East Bay Housing Organization (EBHO)'s "Yes In My Back Yard" program. <br />This program is a public education campaign to address local opposition to and <br />misperceptions of affordable housing. The City has collaborated with EBHO and with other <br />local jurisdictions (e.g., through the Tri-Valley Affordable Housing Committee) for the past <br />several years to conduct a public tour of local affordable housing projects during Affordable <br />Housing Week in mid-June. <br />The City has collaborated extensively with its neighbor city, Livermore, over the past decade <br />on housing programs and issues of shared concern. The City contributed HOME funds to <br />purchase a transitional housing facility that serves Tri-Valley residents and has also provided <br />CDBG funding for the Tri-Valley Haven, a shelter for domestic violence victims. [Similarly, <br />Livermore has provided funding for the only community clinic in the Tri-Valley which is <br />located in Pleasanton.] Most recently, the cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, and Dublin <br />collaborated in a joint Section 108 loan application to fund the acquisition and rehabilitation <br />of the Family Crisis Shelter, the only shelter facility for families in the Tri-Valley area. <br />Escrow closed in May 2002 and rehabilitation work was completed in 2003. The facility <br />reopened under its new name, "Sojourner House," and is now managed by Tri-Valley Haven. <br />The City has supported an extensive housing rehabilitation program through partnership with <br />the Alameda County Housing and Community Development (HCD) program. Our contract <br />with HCD has ensured outreach to minority and women contractors as well as local business <br />enterprises. HCD has administered the program for the City and maintains lists of active <br />minority and women owned businesses. These procedures will be carried forward as the City <br />continues the Housing Rehabilitation program with Neighborhood Solutions. <br />• The City also offers rehabilitation grants and loans through the housing rehabilitation program to <br />assist landlords in removing accessibility barriers to expand rental opportunities for persons with <br />physical disabilities. In addition, the City has used local, State, and HOME funds to construct <br />and or acquire and rehabilitate housing units for rental by persons with physical, mental, and <br />developmental disabilities. <br />• Pleasanton is a founding member jurisdiction and an active participant in the Tri-Valley <br />Housing Scholarship Program (which has been in existence since 1999). This program, <br />which also involves collaboration with the City of Livermore, offers tenant-based rental <br />assistance to households who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. Subsidies are <br />provided while the head of household is undergoing job training and are gradually phased out <br />after employment is secured. Based on program demographics to date, over 90% of <br />households served are headed by female heads of households. In addition, the majority of <br />clients have been minority households, and a significant percentage have been disabled. <br />• The City collaborated with other Tri-Valley jurisdictions to establish the "Tri-Valley <br />Housing Opportunity Center" (TVHOC) which opened its doors in September 2005.
