Box 520 Pleasanton,CA 94566 Dear Mayor Theme: SUBJECT: City of Pleasanton,California Annual Community Assessment Program Year 2012 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD)Office of Community Planning and Development(CPD)annually reviews the performance of communities managing Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)program funds. A principal tool utilized by HUD CPD is the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER), which is submitted to the Department within 90 days of the completion of each Program Year(PY). The CAPER describes the implementation of HUD programs,other resources and the community's progress toward meeting specific goals, measurable objectives and outcomes as reflected in its Five-year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan(AAP). This letter is written to convey the results of the HUD CPD review of the 2012 CAPER. During the 2012 PY, the City received a$240,234 in CDBG funding. In its 2010-2014 Five-year Consolidated Plan,the City identified eight major goals: 1) Increase the availability of affordable rental housing for low income households; 2)Preserve existing affordable rental and ownership housing for low to moderate income households; 3)Assist low and moderate income first time homebuyers;4)Reduce housing discrimination;5)Maintain, improve and expand the capacity of housing,shelter and services for homeless individuals and families;6)Maintain and expand activities designed to prevent those currently housing from becoming homeless; 7) Build on inter jurisdictional cooperation to achieve housing and homeless needs; and 8) Increase the availability of service-enriched housing for persons with special needs. The City leveraged CDBG funds with State,general city funds and various other private sources in order to maximize a small CDBG allocation and to work towards the goals outlined in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. In PY2012,the City of Pleasanton used CDBG funds for various public services,pre-development funding for the Access Community Health Clinic, homeowner rehabilitation,and Section 108 loan repayments. Large housing activities and homeownership assistance were completed via other leveraged resources from the State of California,the City's general fund,or private funding. Even with the small amount CDBG funding received directly,the City of Pleasanton was able to leverage various funding sources to accomplish goals identified in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
