CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING AGENDA PACKET 3-3-26

Page 2 of 3 Staff provided an update to City Council on December 16, 2025, outlining the recommended additional funding for the Tri-Valley Haven project, and the City Council directed staff at that time to proceed with drafting the Substantial Amendment for formal review and approval. At the same meeting, the City Council separately approved allocation of $228,805 in State Permanent Local Housing Assistance (PLHA) funds to the project for the purpose of funding interim housing for shelter residents during construction of the new shelter. DISCUSSION Additional CDBG funds to Tri-Valley Haven’s Shiloh Rebuilding Project Tri-Valley Haven is currently constructing a new 45-bed domestic violence shelter. The cities of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton have been collaborating to assist Tri-Valley Haven with this project since 2023. The City has already allocated $500,000 in CDBG funds - $250,000 in FY 2023/24 and another $250,000 in FY 2024/25 – to this project. The project is progressing. The demolition of the old buildings was completed in September 2024, a contractor has been selected, and construction commenced in December 2025. However, the project currently has a $1.5 - $2 million funding gap. Tri-Valley Haven has $9.6 million committed with a total project budget of an estimated $11.4 million. Action Plan Amendment The City’s HUD-required Citizen Participation Plan is critical in ensuring that Pleasanton residents are provided the opportunity to provide input and comment on the 5-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans that outline how the City plans on using CDBG funds to address community development needs throughout the City. It also provides the following criteria for Substantial Amendments to the Action Plan: • Changes in the use of CDBG funds from one eligible activity to another shall constitute a substantial amendment, subject to the requirements set forth under Section VIII of the Citizen Participation Plan. Consequently, the HUD-approved FY 2025/26 Annual Action Plan is being amended to allocate $224,630 of currently unallocated CDBG capital project funds to Tri-Valley Haven. The Substantial Amendment to the FY2025/26 Annual Action Plan provides the City with the opportunity to offer the Shiloh Rebuilding project additional financial support. The additional CDBG funds will contribute to closing Tri-Valley Haven’s current funding gap. Tri-Valley Haven is conducting fundraising and pursuing other avenues to help address the remaining gap. Staff recommends that the City Council review the attached Draft Substantial Amendment to the FY 2025/26 Annual Action Plan, hear any public testimony regarding the Draft Action Plan Amendment and approve its submission to HUD for review and approval. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY The HHSG program, which encompasses the allocation of federal CDBG funds, provides grant funds to non-profit agencies to deliver direct programs and services to benefit low-income Pleasanton residents, those who are unhoused or at risk of becoming unhoused, and those with special needs. Providing these grant funds helps those populations remain a part of the Pleasanton community and provides them with support and assistance. Funding the Tri-Valley Page 4 of 13
