Consolidated Plan CITY OF PLEASANTON 18 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) NA‐50 Non‐Housing Community Development Needs ‐ 91.415, 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Facilities: The City has historically prioritized public facility improvements, particularly non-profit agencies and their facilities that benefit low-income residents. Some examples of the City assisting non-profit agencies to address their public facility needs include: Open Heart Kitchen’s commercial kitchen that was built in the Vineyard Resource Center, a 23-unit permanent supportive housing development for people experiencing homelessness that also has a year-round 30-bed temporary shelter for homeless individuals,-that opened in 2024; and the Livermore Multi-Service Center that was renovated and is now home for seven non-profit agencies including CityServe of the Tri-Valley and ECHO Housing. The City recently adopted its five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 2025/26 – FY 2029/30. The capital improvement projects were identified through the City’s CIP prioritization process, which uses a systematic approach to rank projects to help the City allocate resources effectively and make data-driven decisions on capital improvements. The City’s CIP has seven categories: transportation & streets, parks, miscellaneous, water, sewer, storm, and facilities. Most projects in the CIP are anticipated to be funded with local funding sources, including development fees, gas taxes, grants, interest earnings, and the General Fund. Additionally, the City must dedicate CDBG funds for annually (until FY 2033-2034) repaying the City's $950,000 HUD Section 108 loan, which used to assist in the acquisition of the Axis Community Health Center in 2014, in accordance to HUD's 20-year repayment schedule. How were these needs determined? The 2024 Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment (EACHSNA) identified the need for health care facilities (including mental health and substance abuse facilities), child care centers, and youth centers. The City’s five-year CIP identifies the CIP projects for the City in the next five years. Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Improvements: See above. How were these needs determined? See above. Describe the jurisdiction’s need for Public Services: The lack of sufficient funding is the biggest challenge for the City in achieving its public services objectives. For instance, for the upcoming FY 2025/26 grant program, the City received requests of $1,337,164 but the City will only be able to fund approximately 51% ($694,166) of these funding requests, using federal CDBG and HOME funds as well as local General Fund and Lower Income Housing Fund (LIHF). Every year the City receives more public service grant requests compared to the prior year. As the demand for basic safety needs continues to Page 182 of 694
