An additional strength is the level of coordination between service providers, particularly those addressing housing needs of the homeless, special needs populations, and housing providers. Pleasanton participates on the Alameda County HOME Consortium Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) which is comprised of staff from the member jurisdictions and the County. The TAC meets bi-monthly to discuss programmatic and policy matters relating to the HOME program as well as broader federal housing and community development funding sources. The Tri-Valley cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, and Dublin have a long-standing history of collaboration around housing and community issues as exemplified in the following joint efforts: • The cities collaborate annually around the federal grant process, holding joint meetings for NOFA / application distribution, contract submission, subrecipient monitoring, and reporting. Staff have worked together to develop standard applications, contracts, and monitoring tools which have improved standardization and resulted in time and cost savings for cities as well as subrecipients. All three cities utilize the same on-line application system (ZoomGrants) which provides a further benefit and convenience to subrecipients. • As noted earlier, the three cities collaborated on the completion of the 2024 Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment (EACHSNA).This multi-jurisdictional effort contributed toward the consistency of policies and programs throughout the subregion while still allowing a degree of independence to include local needs and priorities. • The cities have collaborated on two Section 108 loans in order to secure federal funds in an amount larger than any one jurisdiction could support on its own. These funds were obtained in 2002 to acquire and rehabilitate a family crisis shelter and more recently in 2015 to construct a community medical clinic. Although one city had to serve as the lead agency (Livermore in 2002; Pleasanton in 2015), in both cases the cities entered into an agreement to share repayment of the loans. Page 203 of 694
