The City had considered <br />applying for 202 funding for an assisted care facility for seniors. However, it has since <br />been determined that this is not an optimal funding source for the project; therefore, <br />alternative financing scenarios are being pursued. The City is currently working on the <br />potential redevelopment of two adjacent, aging senior complexes on Kottinger Drive, <br />with the possibility of redeveloping the two sites in a larger new complex for seniors. If <br />this project progresses, the City may support an application for 202 funding. <br />FY 2008 Amount: (TBA) <br />Actioe Plan - FY08 <br />City of Pleasanton <br />Page 3 <br />
