9 <br />Income Priorities and Restrictions <br />All HHSG projects must meet certain income requirements. At least 75% of the program’s <br />participants must be low-income (80% or less of AMI), as determined annually by U.S. <br />Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Oakland-Fremont, CA Metro FMR Area. <br /> <br />Income limits are updated annually, and the most recent guidance is posted on the City of <br />Pleasanton Housing Division webpage: (https://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/our- <br />government/housing/community-development-block-grant/#housing-and-human-services- <br />grant). <br /> <br />The HUD website provides further guidance regarding determining participant income <br />eligibility: https://www.hudexchange.info/trainings/basically-cdbg/ <br /> <br />Language Accessibility <br />The City of Pleasanton promotes services that reflect Pleasanton’s diverse community <br />and address the language access needs of Limited English Proficient (LEP) residents. <br />Executive Order 13166 requires all recipients of federal funding, including state, local <br />and nonprofit agencies, to take “reasonable” steps to ensure meaningful access to <br />services for LEP residents. <br /> <br />These steps include: <br /> <br />1. Development of a Language Access Plan (LAP) that identifies the LEP <br />population in our community and ways in which language access will be <br />provided; and <br />2. Provision of appropriate language assistance (e.g., translation of materials, <br />staff training, interpreters, and coordination with other services/agencies for <br />translation services). <br /> <br />Agencies may contact City staff if they have questions about providing appropriate <br />language assistance to their clients. <br /> <br />Page 21 of 43
