Public Comments <br />February 24, 2022 <br />Mayor Brown and City Councilmembers <br />Chair Case and Planning Commissioners <br />Housing Commissioners <br />Re: Pleasanton and Alameda County Affordable Housing <br />ATTACHMENT 7 <br />With my interest in Pleasanton's Housing Element discussions, I became curious <br />about how Pleasanton compares with other cities in Alameda County with creating <br />affordable housing. <br />What I discovered is that Pleasanton is theonl city in Alameda County that does <br />not have an affordable liousio project.non- fit or Lr -profit, under <br />consideration approyed, or being built. Links included below. <br />This sets Pleasanton back years from completion of any affordable housing project. <br />This leaves Pleasanton with less available grant funding for affordable housing. <br />This makes Pleasanton a target for the California Department of Housing and <br />Community Development. If Pleasanton does not create affordable housing, we <br />will be singled out by the State and we will lose more control over local housing <br />choices. <br />It is not too late to start discussions with non-profit affordable housing developers <br />to set us on the path to achieving the affordable housing goals stated in our current <br />and future Housing Elements. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jocelyn Combs <br />925 <br />Hayward, Union City, Livermore, Piedmont: <br />h s:11G3���� .merLur4'iaews.coml2[}221(] 1120/four-al€uneda-count --cities-seekili - <br />state-grant-to-buy--homes-fiLir-homeless-peonlel <br />San Leandro: <br />httus:lAv+4���.eastba3!imes.eom/202IA SI181san-1cauclns-21 <br />18 <br />
