TRI-VALLEY HAVEN - SECOND AMENDMENT (#2023606)

higher than last year's allocation. In addition, City General Funds are supplemented by Federal CDBG "public services" funds. The Human Services Commission evaluated projects against the funding priorities it adopted in October 2022 [based on the most recent Tri-Valley Human Services Needs Assessment (2011) and Updated Strategic Plan (2018-2022)]. The 2023 Human Services Commission priorities for funding programs are as follows: Priority Needs — Projects that address the following populations and/or program areas: listed in alphabetical order) Disability Services and Access Senior Services Food and Nutrition Service Provider Critical Initiatives Health Care and Behavioral Health Workforce Development / Unemployment Homelessness in the Tri-Valley Youth Services. The Commission also prioritizes service delivery with an emphasis in the following areas: Coordination and collaboration with other service providers, local nonprofits, and Tri-Valley cities. Prevention (activities that help prevent a problem from emerging). Self-Sufficiency (activities that promote self-reliance and are aimed at reducing dependency on assistance programs and services). On March 15, 2023, the Human Services Commission held a hearing for grant applicants, during which it heard presentations from applicants prior to the commission's deliberation on funding allocations (Attachment 2). Table 3 provides a summary of the programs reviewed by the Human Services Commission and funding recommendations. Each of these non-profits are integral in supporting the most vulnerable Pleasanton residents. The City received 22 applications, in total requesting $869,573 in funding. Among the applications, Lions Center for the Visually Impaired (Lions Center) and Wishing Well, Inc. are not recommended for funding as both agencies received low total scores and rankings in the commission's review process. Lions Center received the third lowest committee score (ranking) and has a fair amount of committed funds already. Wishing Well is a new applicant, receiving the second lowest committee score, and could be considered duplication of services. Partners for Change Tri-Valley was originally not recommended for funding after receiving the lowest committee score, but Open Heart Kitchen suggested $3,000 from its allocation be offered to Partners for Change as it considers them a valuable service partner. Also included in Table 3 is grant funding that the Human Services Commission set aside to strategically address behavioral health. The $35,000 is allocated to Axis Community Health's Youth Behavioral Health Services through a multi-year agreement. Page 4 of 16 Docusign Envelope ID: BAF64511-C271-4FC1-BBE9-5AF1BC605D95
