Due to delays from the federal government shutdown, the City’s FY <br />2025/26 Annual Action Plan has yet to be formally approved by HUD. Staff is seeking City <br />Council direction to complete the Substantial Amendment to the FY 2025/26 Annual Action <br />Plan once it is approved by HUD in order to allocate an additional $224,630 in CDBG funds to <br />support the Tri-Valley Haven Shiloh Rebuilding project that will construct a new domestic <br />violence shelter. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Direct staff to complete the Substantial Amendment to the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Annual <br />Action Plan to allocate $224,630 in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) <br />funds to Tri-Valley Haven. The formal amendment to the action plan and any necessary <br />budget amendments will be provided to the City Council for approval at a future meeting. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />Pleasanton’s federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation for FY 2025/26 <br />is $381,455. CDBG regulations require Pleasanton to allocate $224,630 of these funds to a <br />capital project; however, such allocation has not yet been made this fiscal year, since the City <br />did not receive any applications for capital projects in the most recent Housing and Human <br />Services Grant (HHSG) application process. Since the close of the grant process, an eligible <br />capital project, Tri-Valley Haven's Shiloh Rebuilding project, has been identified as having a <br />funding gap that the CDBG funds could help close. Staff therefore recommends allocating <br />additional CDBG funding to Tri-Valley Haven after completing a Substantial Amendment to its <br />fiscal year (FY) 2025/26 HUD Annual Action Plan. <br /> <br />While the FY 2025/26 Annual Action Plan was approved by the City Council on July 15, 2025, <br />the City is still awaiting HUD's required approval, which has been delayed due to the recent <br />federal government shutdown. The FY 2025/26 Annual Action Plan cannot be formally <br />amended until the initial Plan is approved by HUD. This agenda item seeks City Council <br />direction to prepare the draft amendment to the Action Plan, which would be brought back for <br />formal approval once the initial Action Plan is approved by HUD. This item also complements a <br />related request at this December 16 meeting to allocate additional California State Permanent <br />Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) program funds to support temporary rehousing for shelter <br />residents during the construction of the new shelter. <br />Page 94 of 373
