CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA PACKET

Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION Additional CDBG Funds to Tri-Valley Haven’s Shiloh Rebuild Project As described in the separate agenda report for allocation of Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program (PLHA) funds for near-term shelter operation, Tri-Valley Haven is in the process of completing work to demolish its prior facility due to building deficiencies and construct a new 45-bed domestic violence shelter. The Cities of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton have been collaborating with Tri-Valley Haven on this project since 2023. The City has already allocated $500,000 in CDBG funds — $250,000 in FY 2023/24 and another $250,000 in FY 2024/25 - to this project. The project is progressing. The demolition of the old buildings was completed in September 2024, a contractor has been selected, and construction is scheduled to commence in December 2025. However, the project currently has a funding gap of between $1.5 and $2 million. Tri-Valley Haven has secured $9.6 million in funding, with a total project budget of approximately $11.4 million. Action Plan Amendment The Substantial Amendment to the FY 2025/26 Annual Action Plan provides the City with an opportunity to offer the Shiloh Rebuild project additional financial support. Once HUD formally approves the City’s FY 2025/26 Annual Action Plan, City staff, if directed by the City Council, would proceed to complete the Action Plan Amendment to allocate the $224,630 of currently unallocated CDBG capital project funds to Tri-Valley Haven. The additional CDBG funds would be crucial in closing Tri-Valley Haven’s current funding gap. Tri-Valley Haven is conducting fundraising and pursuing other avenues to help address the remaining gap. City staff will present the Substantial Amendment to the FY 2025/26 Annual Action Plan to City Council and members of the Pleasanton community at a future City Council meeting, in accordance with the City’s HUD-approved Citizen Participation Plan. Related budget amendments will also be included as part of that Council item. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY The proposed funding would be an extension/augmentation of funding provided by the City to Tri-Valley Haven for this project in prior cycles of the Housing and Human Services (HHSG) Grant Program. The HHSG provides grant funds to non-profit agencies to offer direct programs and services that benefit low-income residents of Pleasanton, those who are unhoused or at risk of becoming unhoused, and individuals with special needs. Providing these grant funds helps vulnerable populations remain part of the Pleasanton community and offers them support and assistance. OUTREACH No outreach was conducted to make this recommendation. The Substantial Amendment to the FY 2025/2026 Action Plan will require a 30-day public comment period to solicit comments from the community. The City Council will have the opportunity to review the Action Plan Amendment, hold a public hearing to solicit public comments, and approve it for submission to HUD for review and approval at a future City Council meeting.
