After citing provisions of the Housing Element, its application to the project is briefly discussed. Goal 5: Produce and retain a sufficient number of housing units affordable to extremely low-, low- and very low-income households to address the City's responsibility for meeting the needs of Pleasanton's workforce, families, and residents, including those with special needs. Policy 9: Support the development of housing for persons with special needs. For both Goal 5 and Policy 9, the occupants of the Sunflower Hill project will be very low and low-income persons with special needs. Program 9.1: Seek State and Federal assistance for the development of housing to meet the housing needs of households with extremely low, low and very low incomes as well as those with disabilities (including developmental disabilities). Potential sources may include the HUD Section 202 and 811 programs .... The $2,250,000 in City LIHF will be leveraged by SAHA to obtain a larger amount of County, State and Federal funding assistance for the targeted income ranges. Program 9.2: Seek creative alternative and non-traditional means, including using available City financial and property resources and working cooperatively with community groups, that will assist in the production or preserving housing for extremely low-, very low-, low - and moderate -income -households as well as special needs housing including housing for those with disabilities. The combination of land and funds from the Irby Ranch developer is an alternative approach for the IZO that included an early relationship with local group Sunflower Hill with an ENRA for housing for special needs persons. Goal 6: Promote the production of housing affordable to extremely low-, low and very low- income households by actively working with and creating incentives for non-profit housing developers.
