6th Cycle Program 3.5: Proactively work to assist in the <br />rehabilitation of existing housing units determined to have <br />substandard conditions and/or known building code <br />violations, occupied by extremely low-, very low-, or low- <br />income households, through the following measures: <br />1. Provide funding on an annual basis to the Housing <br />Rehabilitation Program, including available grant funding and <br />City-derived funds (such as the Lower-Income Housing Fee), <br />and partner with non-profits and outside organizations to <br />support their housing rehabilitation programs and efforts. <br />2. Identify eligible single-family residential properties and <br />households through the outreach program offered the City’s <br />Housing Rehabilitation Program, as well as partnerships with <br />agencies and non-profits that support housing rehabilitation. <br />3. Create an inventory of multi-family properties built prior to <br />1970, as well as properties where Building Code violations <br />have been verified, conduct a visual survey of these <br />properties, and conduct outreach to owners to identify needs <br />and opportunities for rehabilitation assistance through the <br />Rental Housing Rehabilitation Program. As part <br />of this effort, prioritize review of older multi-unit residential <br />properties located within <br />the Downtown area, which provides some of the most <br />naturally affordable rental <br />housing in Pleasanton. <br />4. When rehabilitation assistance is offered for multi-family <br />rental units, require, as a condition of receipt of funds, owners <br />to provide, in exchange, a commitment to deed restrict or limit <br />rent increases for a proportion of units in the complex to <br />maintain their existing long-term affordability for current or <br />future tenants. <br />15 lower-income units rehabilitated during <br />the planning period <br />Ongoing administration of <br />the Housing Rehabilitation <br />Program; create eligibility list <br />and inventory (January <br />2025) <br />1 and 2. Ongoing. The City's Housing Rehabilitation Program continues to be a <br />popular and successfull program that provide grants or loans to income-eligibe <br />homeowners to complete health and safety repairs and improvements to their homes. <br />The City, however, is in the process of finding a new program administrator. Due to <br />the lack of funds, items 3 and 4 cannot currently be pursued.
