G-10 | City of Pleasanton Housing Resources • Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Program: HUD-VASH is a collaborative program between HUD and VA combines HUD housing vouchers with VA supportive services to help veterans who are homeless and their families find and sustain permanent housing. See Housing Authority of the County of Alameda Resources for more information. Section G.2 Opportunities for Energy Conservation The cost of energy can greatly impact housing affordability, as energy costs can constitute a significant portion of total housing costs. High energy costs also particularly impact low-income households that are less likely to have the ability to cover increased expenses. The City encourages energy conservation in all projects consistent with the California Building Code (CBC) and Municipal Code Chapter 17.50 (Green Building) (see Housing Constraints, Appendix C, Section C.2.3). The City’s website includes green building resources and informational handouts. Additionally, the City adopted an updated Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0) in February 2022. The CAP 2.0 continues to respond to the impacts of climate change through local actions that promote adaptation and resilience by significantly reducing the City’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Accounting for new state laws, the policy focus for the CAP 2.0 is to close the gap between GHG emission reduction targets and Pleasanton’s projected emissions, to reduce emissions by 1.4 MTCO2e per capita by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality per capita by 2045. The CAP 2.0 is a qualified CAP through 2030, meaning projects that comply with its requirements will be eligible for streamlined CEQA review with respect to analysis of GHG emissions. Key strategies of the CAP 2.0 aimed at reducing GHG emissions include decarbonizing buildings and vehicles, expanding the use of renewable energy sources, increasing building efficiency, increasing active and public transportation, and increasing carbon sequestration, among other strategies. The City promotes various energy conservation programs on its website, including the Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN) and Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Financing. BayREN is a collaboration of the nine counties that comprise the San Francisco Bay Area and is led by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). BayREN provides regional-scale energy efficiency programs, services, and resources. BayREN is funded by utility ratepayer funds through the California Public Utilities Commission and other sources. PACE is a mechanism for property owners to finance renewable energy, energy efficiency, and water conservation improvements to their properties and repay the loan via an annual assessment on the owner’s property tax bill. Unlike traditional forms of credit that are dependent on individual credit rating, PACE financing is primarily based on a property owner’s equity in the building. The City’s website identifies PACE-providers authorized to operate in Pleasanton.
