The organization exists to bring family to those in need of a home through providing a community-based tiny home village for those who have been chronically homeless. In October 2021, Goodness Village submitted a funding request to the City of Pleasanton for $96,600 to address a funding gap created by overages in the building costs which, in turn, impacted the budgeted operating costs for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. The funding request represents the identified funding gap beginning in January 2022 through June 30, 2022. The funding request was presented to the Tri -Valley cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton. The requested amount represents the funding gap divided by the three cities based upon the number of residents being housed at Goodness Village from each city. Currently there are five Pleasanton residents at Goodness Village. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council approve the Professional Services Agreement with Goodness Village (Attachment 1) in the amount not to exceed $96,600 and appropriate the funds from the Low Income Housing Fund 12212300-430107. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The proposed Professional Services Agreement with Goodness Village is for an amount not to exceed $96,600. Funding for this agreement will come from the Low Income Housing Fund 12212300-430107 if appropriated by the City Council.
