Introduction The Consolidated Plan is an important document for the Alameda County HOME Consortium. Built on interagency coordination, consultation, and public participation, the Consolidated Plan focuses attention on housing and community development needs and resources available to meet these needs. The FY2025-2029 Consolidated Plan was prepared through consultation with other public and private entities. At the countywide level, the HOME Consortium Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), composed of staff from all jurisdictions in the HOME Consortium, met bi-monthly to provide policy input into the Action Plan planning process. Additional countywide consultation efforts are discussed in detail in the Alameda County section of the Consolidated Plan is an important document for the HOME Consortium. Locally, information for Pleasanton’s section of the Consolidated Plan was collected through consultation with a variety of entities: The City’s Human Services Commission (HSC) is appointed by the City Council and holds public meetings monthly on the first Wednesday of the month. The HSC provides the main public forum for discussion of a range of issues related to public services in Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley region. Of specific relevance to the Consolidated Plan were meetings held in August 2024 [for the annual CAPER review and discussion of priorities for the upcoming Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) process], February 2025 (discussion of the process for reviewing and evaluating applications for HHSG funding), and March 2025 (recommendation for HHSG funding for projects to be included in the next Action Plan). The Pleasanton City Council served as the highest level decision making body for all matters related to the Consolidated Plan. The City Council holds public meetings twice monthly on the first and third Tuesday of the month. The City Council met on June 17, 2025, to: 1) review recommendations for HHSG funding from the HSC for projects to be included in the next Action Plan and solicit public comments, and 2) formally approve the Consolidated Plan for FY 2025-2029 and the Action Plan for FY 2025-2026 for submission to HUD prior to the August 15, 2025 submittal deadline.
