Many of these provide direct services in Pleasanton and other East County jurisdictions. Key stakeholders in Pleasanton include Axis Community Health (community clinics, public benefits coordination), Pleasanton Unified School District (student health programs), Tri-City Health Center (East County AIDS Advocacy), Tri-Valley Haven (food bank; domestic violence and family shelters), Open Heart Kitchen (family and senior food programs), Spectrum Community Services (meal delivery programs), ECHO Housing (housing counseling and tenant-landlord services), Abode Services (homelessness prevention), Legal Assistance for Seniors (free legal aid for seniors), Community Resources for Independent Living (disabled advocacy and support), East Bay Innovations (disabled advocacy and support), CALICO (child abuse intervention), Bay Area Community Services (mental and disabled services), and Eden Information and Referral (2-1-1 Alameda County information line). The City has financially supported Goodness Village since it opened in June 2021. Goodness Village is a 28-unit affordable tiny home village located in Livermore formerly homeless individuals. The village provides 24-hour on-site supportive services for the 28 village residents. Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above The service delivery system for persons experiencing homelessness is primarily coordinated at the County level. A detailed description of the network is included in the County’s section of the Consolidated Plan. The City also contracts with Abode Services and CityServe to provide services to assist homeless individuals in Pleasanton. These agencies are funded through the City's Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) program. Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs A primary strength of the housing and community development delivery systems is the coordination of efforts between the jurisdictions and the groups that oversee these efforts on an inter-jurisdictional basis. An additional strength is the level of coordination between housing providers and service providers, particularly those addressing housing needs of the homeless and special needs populations. As described earlier, the cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, and Dublin have a long-standing history of collaboration on a variety of housing and community development matters, and the cities continue to build on this institutional structure. The primary gaps facing Pleasanton and its neighbor cities in delivering affordable and supportive housing are primarily the lack of financial resources (including land) for development, operations, and support services combined with a location that has the highest costs in the region.
