CDBG funded Project Status for Current Fiscal year
City of Dublin Public Works Department - Sidewalk Handicap Ramps - $9.765
The City will be constructing approximately 4 concrete handicap ramps at various curb returns. This
project will be out to bid shortly as part of the larger Sidewalk Repair Project for 2005-2006. It is
anticipated that all 4 ramps will be completed by the end of June 2006.
Tri-Valley Haven - Domestic Violence Shelter - $15.000
Tri-Valley Haven is currently providing domestic violence and homeless services to Dublin residents.
At this time over 26 Dublin residents have been assisted through the Crisis Hotline and 2 presentations
have been made on Domestic Violence in the Community. Tri-Valley Haven's goal for the current year is
to provide at least 140 residents with homeless service. Currently over 120 Dublin residents have received
services through the food pantry (a section of the homeless division) and 3 Dublin residents have received
assistance at the homeless shelter.
Senior Support Program ofthe TriValley - $10,000
Senior Support Program is currently providing services for seniors in Dublin. The services offered are
case management services which includes referrals for senior health screening, Partners in Safety, Drug
and Alcohol assistance, in-house reassurance (friendly visiting), references for chore worker registry
services, meal delivery at home and many others. So far three (3) Dublin seniors have been provided with
case management services. The goal is to assist twenty (20) seniors by the end of this fiscal year.
Spectrum Community Services - Meals on Wheels Program - $5,000
Spectrum Community Services proposed to provide an average of twenty (20) meals delivered daily to
homebound low-income seniors in Dublin. Currently an average of 23 seniors within Dublin are
receiving meals daily through this program.
Community Resource for Independent Living (CRIL) - $10,000
CRIL proposed to provide general services to 75 Dublin residents and Case Management to 20 residents.
General services consist of either one time or repeated visits for items such as benefit counseling, housing
information and referrals, or referrals to other agencies. Case management is more intensive one-on-one
visits to assess life situation and to develop Independent Living Plans for each client. Currently general
services have been provided to 9 Dublin residents and case management to 3 Dublin residents who
became permanent CRIL clients in the first quarter. (July-September 2005)
Open Heart Kitchen - Weekend Box Lunch Program - $10,000
This service provider is providing weekend box lunches to Arroyo Vista residents that have registered to
receive the meals. The proposed program was to provide 250 lunches every Friday. At this time they are
providing 257 lunches on a weekly basis.
Page 3 of 8
Bay Area Community Services - Valley Creative Living Center - $5,000
This agency is under contract to provide a daytime rehabilitation program for adults with severe and
persistent mental illness. The program includes educational and recreational activities that promote
independent living. The proposal provided indicates that the Center will provide this assistance to 10
Dublin residents. At this time they are assisting 2 Dublin residents.
Fiscal Year 2006/2007 CDBG Allocation
The County of Alameda has not yet received the final figures from HUD for distribution of CDBG funds
to the Urban County Cities, including Dublin. When the amount is unknown, for planning purposes, the
County typically uses the same amount that was allocated the previous year. At this time the HUD budget
for CDBG is less than it was last year so it is likely that the allocation for 2006-2007 will be less than
what was received the past fiscal year.
If a decrease in CDBG funding is received, Staff recommends that the percentage decrease be distributed
evenly across all the programs.
Based on the same amount as provided in 2005-2006 ($93,505) Staff recommends that the CDBG funds
for the next Fiscal Year be spent in these amounts in the various categories:
Jurisdiction Improvement Projects
City of Dublin Sidewalk Ramps
$ 10,000
Housing Rehabilitation (mandatory) +
Rehab. Provided for TriValley Haven in 2003.
$ 16,713
$ 5,427 annually for 10 years
Public Service Programs $ 54,765
(15% of grant plus County approved additional amount)
General Administration
$ 6.600
TOTAL
$ 93,505
The City has flexibility in the distribution of the Jurisdiction Improvement Projects category and in the
General Administration funds. Every year the County will dedicate a percentage of each Urban County
city's CDBG funds toward the County of Alameda's Housing Rehabilitation Program. This program is
available for residents within each of the respective Urban County cities as well as the Unincorporated
County. Additionally the County of Alameda contracts with two service providers to provide Fair
Housing Services throughout the Urban Cities as well as the unincorporated county area. In Dublin the
Fair Housing Service Provider is currently ECHO Housing.
The City received twelve (12) proposals for use of the CDBG funds. In addition, the City is committed to
provide funding in the amount of $5,427 to Livermore per the Jurisdictional Participation Agreement
entered into for the rehabilitation of Tri- Valley Haven' s Sojourner House Family Crisis Center.
After the City Council decides how the City's CDBG project funds will be distributed, the appropriate
applications must be submitted to the County HCD by February 3, 2005. It is necessary to apply for
CDBG funds for specific projects annually because the City participates in the Urban County CDBG
Page 4 of 8
Program under an annual agreement. Once the County HCD reviews and approves Dublin's project
applications, a program agreement between the City and the County HCD will be drafted, which the City
Council will need to authorize. The final City-County agreement will then be submitted to the federal
Housing and Urban Development Department in June of this year.
CDBG Jurisdiction Improvement Proiects For Consideration
The organizations and projects requesting funding from the City of Dublin's 2006-2007 CDBG funds are
as follows:
City of Dublin - Sidewalk Access Ramps for Handicapped Accessibility - Requesting $16,000
Staff Recommends $10,000
In the current year (2005-2006) this program received $9,765 in CDBG funding. The City Public Works
Department would like to continue to utilize this funding source to augment other revenue in providing
additional sidewalk access ramps. Yet the demand for Dublin's CDBG funds from non-profit agencies is
strong so in 2006-2007 Staff recommends reducing the amount from CDBG funds to $10,000. This
funding would provide approximately 5 handicapped ramps.
City Committed to $5,427
Staff Recommends $5,427
The City of Dublin entered into a Participating Jurisdiction Agreement with Livermore, Pleasanton and
the County of Alameda to pay back money borrowed for the purchase and rehabilitation of Tri -Valley
Haven's Sojourner House Family Crisis Shelter (see Attachment 3B). The City of Dublin's commitment
is to provide $5,427 annually, for ten years, to assist Livermore in paying back a HUD Section 108 loan
retained to assist the Family Crisis Shelter. 2006-2007 would be Year 5 of our commitment to pay this
amount to the City of Livermore.
City of Livermore - Contribution of Repavment of Section 108 Loan -
Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley-
Requesting $10,476
Staff Recommends $10,000
Senior Support Program has requested $10,476 to provide case management services for 20 new seniors
living in Dublin. Case management services involve making an initial assessment of a senior's living
situation and needs. The assessment consists of an evaluation of the senior's physical, mental and
emotional status and needs as well as an assessment of the needs for assistance with daily living activities.
Staff recommends funding this program at close to the requested amount. The Senior Support Program
has consistently provided services to seniors in Dublin and has exceeded their goal presented in contracts
with the City. In addition, this year services are being provided at the new Dublin Senior Center as well
as the Pleasanton Senior Center.
Tri- Valley Haven - Domestic Violence Shelter/Homeless Shelter-
Requesting $ 15,000
Staff Recommends $ 14;765
Tri- Valley Haven has requested $15,000 to support providing domestic violence services to at least twelve
(12) Dublin residents at the domestic violence shelter, to provide Case Management for homeless services
to at least 83 Dublin residents and to provide community education and preventative presentations to
various service organizations in Dublin (see Attachment 3D). Tri- Valley Haven has two domestic
violence shelters with 30 beds where families may stay for up to three and a half months. The
Page 5 of 8
organization also has a family crisis shelter, Sojourner House, in Livermore and two offices in Pleasanton
to better serve Dublin residents. Staff recommends funding at close to the requested amount.
Spectrum Community Services, Inc. - Meals on Wheels -
Requesting $ 5,601
Staff Recommends $ 5,000
Spectrum Community Services, Inc. is requesting $5,601 in CDBG funds to continue funding a route of
food delivery to homebound seniors in the City of Dublin through their Meals on Wheels Program.
In 2006-2007 Spectrum Community Services plans to continue to deliver an average of at least 23 hot,
nutritious meals daily to the homes of low-income frail, homebound elderly residents of Dublin. Meals
are individually packaged, counted and placed in route-specific delivery equipment, and placed in the
driver's car for immediate delivery. All meals and food items are delivered within 2 hours of packaging,
as required to satisfy food safety standards.
During the current fiscal year Spectrum Community Services has exceeded the number of seniors they
planned to assist and have done a good job of providing this services. Staff recommends that this
organization be funded again for 2006-2007 at close to the amount requested.
Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL)-
Dublin Independent Living Services
Requesting $10.300
Staff Recommends $ 10.000
CRIL will serve 75 low-income Dublin residents with disabilities with general services such as benefit
counseling and service referrals and 20 Dublin residents with case management to achieve independent
life skills. CRIL will benefit residents by providing independent living services that have proven to
increase independence and reduce incidents of secondary disabilities. Staff recommends funding in 2006-
2007 at close to the requested amount.
Open Heart Kitchen - Weekend Box Lunch
Requesting $10,000
Staff Recommends $10,000
Open Heart Kitchen requests funding to continue distributing weekend lunch boxes to residents at Arroyo
Vista Housing Complex. Over 364 residents in Arroyo Vista are eligible for box lunches and could
benefit from consistent provision of weekend lunch boxes. Open Heart Kitchen currently provides 257
lunch boxes per weekend and would like to continue doing so to Arroyo Vista residents. Staff
recommends funding in 2006-2007 at the amount requested.
Bay Area Community Services - Valley Creative Living Center-
Requesting $ 5.000
Staff Recommends $ 5.000
Bay Area Community Services is requesting $5,000 in funding to assist with Staff costs for their Valley
Creative Living Services Program. This agency is a fully operational social services program and the City
of Dublin's grant would contribute toward making services to adults with psychiatric disabilities more
accessible to eligible low- and very low-income Dublin residents. The program is open Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays providing social, educational and prevocational activities. Dublin CDBG
funds would be used to support the salary of a licensed individual providing the training and group
activities. Staff recommends funding in 2006-2007 at the amount requested.
Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) - Rental Assistance Program - Requesting $11,410
New Application Staff Recommends $ 0
ECHO is requesting $11,410 to provide rental assistance to qualifying households in the City of Dublin.
Page 6 of 8
ECHO has previously provided this service through 2001-2002 and at that time had limited success in
finding households in the City of Dublin qualifying for this rental assistance service. Because not many
households were benefiting from this service, the City Council chose to eliminate funding of this program
beginning in fiscal year 2002-2003. At this time Staff recommends no funding for this program for two
reasons. 1) It is unclear whether this type of need is pressing in the City of Dublin given the previous
experience with the program; and, 2) It is anticipated that the City of Dublin will receive less money under
CDBG than last year yet there are more applications this year requesting funding.
Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) - Reverse Mortgage Counseling - Requesting $8,025
New Application Staff Recommends $ 0
ECHO is requesting $8,025 to provide reverse mortgage counseling to residents in the City of Dublin.
The City of Dublin currently is receiving this type of counseling opportunity for residents from the
TriValley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC). While the TVHOC does not specifically work with
reverse mortgage products, they counsel regarding loan products to new buyers of homes and to those
interested in refinancing. Staff has contacted the TVHOC to assure that this type of counseling is a
service that is available to Dublin residents. The Center did assure Staff that loan product counseling is
available to all interested Dublin residents. Because the service being offered in this proposed program
would be duplicative, Staff recommends no funding for this program.
Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) - TenantlLandlord Counseling - Requesting $6,810
New Application Staff Recommends $ 0
ECHO is requesting $6,810 to provide TenantlLandlord Counseling to Dublin residents. The City of
Dublin, as a participant in the County of Alameda Urban County's CDBG programs already provides
financing for Landlord/Tenant Counseling. The City of Dublin, along with Emeryville, Piedmont, Albany
and Newark all provide for this service from the total CDBG amount that the County of Alameda receives
from HUD. The County of Alameda, on behalf of the five cities mentioned, enters into a contract every
year for tenantllandlord counseling. The agency that provides these services to Dublin is ECHO.
Staff contacted ECHO to ask why they are requesting funding if this funding is already given through the
County of Alameda. The agency stated that they do not receive sufficient funding so since the City of
Dublin issued an RFPto nonprofits, they took the opportunity to request additional funds.
Due to the large number of agencies requesting funding from the City of Dublin' s CDBG funds and as this
tenant/landlord counseling is already available, Staff recommends no funding for this program.
TriValley Housing Opportunity Center - First Time Homebuyer Education Requesting
New Application Staff Recommends
$10.000
$ 0
The TriValley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC) was formed during this fiscal year to provide
housing services to the residents of the 5 TriValley cities. The Center is established and located in
Livermore. It has been soliciting and receiving funds from various private parties such as lending
institutions. Additionally, the TriValley cities have all been contributing toward getting the Center
established and running. The administration and staffing of the center is benefiting from the $50,000 that
the City of Dublin City Council proposed to provide from the Affordable Housing fund during this current
fiscal year.
At the same time, the TVHOC will be providing First Time Homebuyer classes to residents of Dublin.
The classes would be available to residents purchasing homes independently in Dublin and any residents
participating in the First Time Homebuyer Loan Program currently in development. Additional funding
would be very useful in allowing the Center to provide this service to Dublin residents.
Page 7 of 8
Staff recommends no funding to this agency from CDBG at this time. First, CDBG funding would only
be available to those taking First Time Homebuyer classes with household incomes of under 80% of the
area median, and second, the amount of CDBG funds available for the upcoming fiscal year is very
limited and there are many existing agencies requesting the funding to continue to provide services to
Dublin residents.
Staff has informed the TVHOC that it would be more beneficial if the Center sought the needed funds
through the City's annual grant process. Additionally, funds that may be provided to the Center from the
Affordable Housing Fund would not be restricted to the provision of First Time Homebuyer education for
households with incomes at or below 80% of the area median. CDBG funds may only be used to provide
services to households at or below 80% of the area median.
Contracts with A2encies Proposin2 Non-City Projects
If the City Council approves funding for these various non-City projects, Dublin would need to enter into
a separate contract with each agency for purposes of project administration and fund tracking.
All of the above projects meet the CDBG program's national objectives of benefiting low and moderate
income persons or homeless or persons with disabilities and, they are all eligible uses of CDBG funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff to submit applications for $ 93,505 in CDBG funding for Fiscal Year 200612007 as outlined

City of Dublin
Request for Proposal
July 2006-June 2007
1. Senior Support Program addresses the needs of the aging population in
our community. Chronic illnesses and the "wearing out" process can
prevent seniors from maint~lnlng an independent life. The common practice
of rapid discharge from hospitals compounds the problem, as seniors are
routinely discharged before fully convalescing. They are in enormous need
of assistance. For these seniors, as well as many others who have
disapilities, simple tasks such as bathing, dressing, cooking, shopping and
~l1ng financial affairs are extremely difficult, if not impossible. Ifleft
alone, the senior's inability to perform these daily tasks necessitates
institutionalization. The financial burden of institutionalization can quickly
deplete an entire lifetime of savings. When a senior no longer has the
. resources to pay for care, society must bear the burden, as tax dollars
subsidize institutionalization.
Senior Support Program of the Tri Valley staff has been providing services
for Dublin seniors since 1981. Services offered through this program
include senior health screening, case management, elder abuse prevention,
in-home reassurance (friendly visiting), chore worker registry services, in-
home counseling, Partners in Safety, information and referral, the Caregiver
Program and the Alcohol and Medication Program.
The Senior Support Program is seeking funding to provide greatly needed
case management services in the Dublin area. Through the case management
service, seniors are visited in their homes and an initial assessment is made
of the living situation and needs. This assessment consists of an evaluation
of the senior's environment, their physicaL mental and emotional status, and
their need for assistance with daily living activities. .After tlle initial visit, a
care plan is formulated with the senior and th~ir family. This plan includes
locating, arranging and overseeing services such as transportation, meals,
safety d~vices, and in-home companions and workers. Referrals are made
and services are coordinated with physicians, home health nurses, social
workers, attorney and other professionals. Assistance is provided in
applying for Medi-Cal, food stamps and SSI and assistance with ~care
and health insurances. The situation is monitored on an ongoing basis at
/7 of /0,-/
mtervals appropriate to the individual needs of the senior, and care plans are
modified as necessary.
Another vital component of this program is the provision of support and
educational services for the elder and their family. Tbis support can be
crucial when decisions of whether the elder should remain at home or not
arise. Our case managers help to make the transitions easier on the families.
Once a year, the staffworks closely with the City of Dublin and the Dublin
Police Department, assisting seniors with cleaning their homes, gardening
and minor home maintenance. Weare also very excited that we will be
providing nutrition talks, giving program information and home safety
presentations at the new Dublin Senior Center. This year we started a
relationship with The Tn-Valley Rotary providing them with referrals of
seniors who need home clean ups or minor home repair. Several Dublin
residents were included in this project.
The Senior Support program works actively with a1lloca1 senior citizen
providers. The program staff provides consultation services for the Dublin
Senior Center, and also coordinates services with Spectrum, Adult protective
services, Valley Volunteer Center, Legal Aid, Hope Hospice, meals on
wheels, Valley Health Care System and Kaiser Health System as well as
many other groups, churches, and organizations.
2. Marlene Petersen, Director Senior Support Program
Marlene Petersen is the Executive Director of the Senior Support
Program of the Tri-Valley. She was an employee ofVCHC Senior

Services and the Partners in Safety program a collaborative program
with the local Fire and Police departments.. Ms. Petersen also serves on a
variety of boards including the Alameda County Public Health Advisory
Board, Public Authority Advisory Board, the Pleasanton Senior Center

4. The goal and objectives of this program is to prevent or postpone
institutionalization of Dublin Seniors through the provision of services
which enable elders to remain independent, improve their quality of life,
and preserve their dignity. From July 2006-2007, with this funding,
thirty new Dublin Seniors and their families will receive case
management services. Fifty Dublin seniors will receive one-rime-only
services.
5. This work will be started in July 2006 and completed in June of 2007 .
Invoices for services shall be submitted once a month during the term
of this agreement.
6. Most of our services are provided in the senior's home. We are located at
the Pleasanton Senior Center, which is handicapped accessible.

Domestic Violence and Homeless Services
1. Narrative description of program including complete name, justification of services and need in
Dublin, as well as locationls of access to local residents
Since 1977, Tri,. Valley Haven has provided shelter and counseling for women and their children escaping
domestic violence in the Tn-Valleyarea Today, Tri-Valley Haven operates a domestic violence program,
homeless program, and Rape Crisis Center. The Haven creates homes safe from abuse and contributes to a
more peaceful society one perSon, one family, and one community at atime.
The domestic violence program consists ofa confidential emergency shelter, individual and group counseling,
restraining order assistance and Crisis Line. Our 30-bed domestic violence shelter, Shiloh, offers women with
or without children shelter for 45 to 105 days. Upon entry into the program, clients are accepted for the initial
45 days. During this time, the women work with a case manager to develop goals leading to self-sufficiency in
areas such as housing, education, employment, childcare, health, and transportation. If a client demonstrates the
need for additional time to accomplish goals, she may submit an application for acceptance into Phase II, which
offers an additional 60 days. . Each woman also attends individual counseling on a weekly basis, and is expected
to participate in the following groups each week: House Meeting, Parenting, Domestic Violence Support Group,
Personal Empowerment, CalWORKs Life Skills, and Family Night. Children's individual counseling and
support group are also available. In addition, Shiloh also has on-staff a Linkages Domestic Violence Program
Coordinator to assist clients with transitional housing, and a CalWORKs Specialist who provides advocacy and
information regarding public benefits programs as well as employment preparation and job search assistance.
Individual and group counseling services are also available to non-Shiloh residents at our Community Building.
We also operate a satellite office in Pleasanton to better serve residents of Dublin and Pleasanton. A legal clinic
is offered twice a week, once in Livermore, and once in Pleasanton, to assist Shiloh and community clients with
restraining orders. Court accompaniment is offered to clients who decide to file a restraining order. Crisis
intervention services are available around the clock through our toll-free Crisis Line, which is answered by staff
and trained volunteers 24 hours a day.
In 2002, Tri-Valley Haven added homeless services to its spectrum of care. Homeless services consist of an
emergency shelter, Food Pantry, and a mobile outreach unit called the HOPE (Homeless Outreach People
Empowerment) Van. The 16-bed homeless shelter, Sojourner House, is a 6-month program which serves
women, single fathers and mothers, and couples with children. Sojourner House residents also receive case
management, individual counseling, and weekly group meetings. The CalWORKs Specialist also provides
services to the homeless shelter, and a Linkages Homeless Program Coordinator provides Sojourner House
residents with transitional housing assistance. The Food Pantry is located in Livermore, and in addition to food
also provides clients with emergency motel vouchers, gas cards, and phone cards, as well as referrals to other
community services. The HOPE Van offers low-income and homeless mdividuals and families medical care
and case management services at various locations in Livermore and Pleasanton. -
In operation since 1981, Tri-Valley Haven's Rape Crisis Center provides community education presentations,
self-defense courses, individual and group counseling, and sexual assault advocates for victims and their
families as part of the Valley SART (Sexual Assault Response Team).
All of our programs can be accessed by phone through our 24 hour Crisis Line. Clients may also access
services in person, either by appointment or on a drop-in basis, at our Community Building, Food Pantry, or
HOPE Van, Additionally, many other agencies and groups, such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline,
local Yellow Pages, law enforcements agencies, the courts, churches, local hospitals, and mental health
Zq t) f- IO~
agencies, provide referrals to Tri-Valley Haven services. Fliers are sent throughout the community as new
services are added.
The need for services in the Tri- V alley area is important for the following reasons. As the Tri- V alley area
population expands and shows ever~increasing affluence, the toWIi and rural areas have increasingly growing
pockets of poverty. Lack of affordable housing and the decline in the job market continues to be a growing
problem as well. In addition, nearly all services for domestic violence and homelessness are located outside of
the Valley and are mainly in Oakland. It takes a minimum of one and a half hours and two transfers to reach the
county seat of Oakland by public transportation. Tri- Valley Haven serves a rural and suburban area that is
geographically isolatedfrom other parts of Alameda County. Because of this geographic isolation, it is crucial
that local services remain available. Regarding the need specifically in Dublin, during the 2004/05 fiscal year;
theHaven's Crisis Line fielded 89 calls from Dublin residents. In just the first quarter of the 2005/06 fiscal
year, 120 Dublin residents have availed themselves of Food Pantry services. and 3 Dublin residents received
emergency shelter at Sojourner House.

Meals On Wheels for Dublin Residents
Spectrum Community Services, Inc.
NARRATIVE
Description of Proeram
Spectrum Community Services requests Community Development Block Grant funding
to sustain its Meals On Wheels delivery route in Dublin for fiscal year 2006-2007. This
support will enable Spectrum to continue to deliver an average of 15 hot, nutritious meals
daily to the homes of low-income, frail, homebound elderly residents of Dublin.
Since 1978, Spectrum has provided congregate and home-delivered meals to Seniors
throughout central, southern, and eastern Alameda County. Spectrum's Senior Nutrition
and Activities Project (SNAP) primary funding source is the Alameda County
Department of Aging, which administers federal Older American Act funds to Spectrum.
In Dublin, Spectrum currently serves an average of 15 home-delivered meals daily
(approximately 3,705 meals annually) via the Dublin Meals On Wheels route.
Residents are eligible for the home-delivered meal service if they are 60 years of age or
older and are homebound. Spectrum's Home Delivery Coordinator visits new clients in
their homes, which establishes eligibility (including income status and age), and at this
time conducts a need assessment. The Coordinator will go over procedures, and the
optional donation policy for Older American Act funded nutrition programs. Clients are
reassessed quarterly by the Home Delivery Coordinator.
'.~>...
The monthly menu, which is prepared by a Registered Dietitian, covers many therapeutic
diets; including diabetic, low-sodium, renal, mechanical soft, and can accommodate
vegetarians. Soups are provided weekly, and clients may request tortillas or rice.
Meals are prepared and packed for SNAP's Delivery Drivers by the Valley Memorial
Hospital. Special attention is paid to ensure that meals are served hot, pleasant in
appearance, well-balanced and flavorful. Meals are packaged individually, counted, and
placed in coolers with either ice packs, or hot stones to keep the meals at proper and safe
temperatures, while they are delivered within a two hour timeframe. Temperatures are
monitored for compliance with Federal food safety standards.
Daily, the Spectrum's Meals On Wheels Coordinator is responsible for arranging routes
to each client's home, coordinating special diets to specific clients, and contacting Valley
Memorial Hospital of the daily meal counts, and any special diet requests.
The Home Delivery Driver plays an important role, because many times this is the only
person a senior will see each day. Drivers are trained to observe physical and
environmental changes that might indicate need for other support services, or assistance.
Drivers will report those changes to the Meals On Wheels Coordinator immediately, and
this has been a very important safety net for the seniors receiving these meals.

Description of Need
In Alameda County, the senior population is expected to increase by more than 75% from
1990 to 2010. In that same time, the portion of the elderly population who are 85 or older
will increase from nearly 6% to more than 18%. In Dublin, the population over the age of
60 grew from 1,259 in 1990 to 2,156-a 71 % increase. The demand for increased
supportive and assistive services is already evident by the U.S. Census numbers from the
2000 Census that indicates that between 30 and 38 percent ofDub1in residents age 65 or
older are living with a disability.
As people live longer, the portion of their lives spent in retirement increases. However, a
longer life expectancy does not imply a sustained level of health, or mobility. Among
adults older than 75, the aging process tends to decrease an individual's ability to live
independently. Activities of daily living become more difficult to perform. Yet nearly all
older adults prefer to remain living in their homes.
Among an individual's many daily activities of daily living that are affected by decreased
mobility and increased frailty is food preparation. This critical activity is tied directly to
that individual's health and well-being. Proper nutrition and regular meals are important
to maintaining weight, metabolic function, energy, and balance.
A growing number of seniors who are otherwise able to care for themselves need Meals
On Wheels service as they recover from an illness or surgery. As we age, the amount of
time we need to recuperate increases. This becomes problematic for a senior without
family or other informal support. Healthful, nutritious meals and human contact promote
a speedy recuperation and return to normal activity levels.
The need for nutrition is coupled with other needs, such as social interaction, a sense that
one is contributing, and a need to be loved. The delivery of a meal to a frail, homebound
senior fulfills a primary need for nutrition, and provides the opportunity for human
contact, even if it is just for a few minutes each day.
Location Served
The Meals on Wheels program serves seniors in their homes at various locations
throughout the City of Dublin.
Responsible Party
Annemarie Parrish is Spectrum's Senior Nutrition Activities and Project Manager. She
has a B.S. in Dietetics and Food Administration, and has worked with seniors and low-
income clients providing nutritional supportive services for over 16 years. She joined
Spectrum in September of2005, to manage the Senior Nutrition Program.

Goals and Obiectives
The goal of Spectrum's home-delivered meal program is to maintain or improve the well-
being of frail, homebound seniors by providing them with healthful and nutritious meals.
Spectrum has established the following objectives specific to the funds requested in this
proposal:
1. Deliver a minimum of 3,705 meals to frail homebound seniors residing in the City
of Dublin (an average of at least 15 per day for 247 serving days) during the grant
period from July 1,2006 through June 30, 2007.
2. During the same grant period, serve a minimum of20 unduplicated seniors with
home-delivered meals.
.\~
.",.-....
Schedule of Work
If funding is granted, SNAP will continue the Meals On Wheels distribution program
already in place. Meals are delivered Monday through Friday, except holidays. However,
SNAP does offer entrees for holidays and weekends. These meals are delivered during
the week prior to the needed day. During 2006-2007, there will be a total of247 delivery
days. '
Timetable for Invoicinl!
Invoicing will be on a quarterly basis.
Accessibility for Disabled
The requested funds will be used to bring meals to frail, homebound, isolated seniors, and
when possible, disabled adults. Because services are delivered to clients' homes, there
are no accessibility issues. The requested funds will be used to increase seniors' access
to needed nutrition.

Narrative Description of CRIL's Program
Independent Living services triumph over the barriers that confront persons with
disabilities and disconnect them from full and meaningful participation in their
communities. Increasing numbers of low-income persons with disabilities living in
Dublin benefit from CRIL services including at least 75 Dublin seniors, residents
with disabilities, and their families each year. Community Resources for
Independent Living (CRIL) is requesting $10,300 to support services that enable
low-income Dublin seniors and residents with disabilities to maintain their
independence.
"Despite notable progress in the last decade, people with disabilities continue
to be less employed, less educated and poorer than other Americans.
Barriers to the tools of economic empowerment remain significant. Minorities
with disabilities are particularly disadvantaged by barriers unique to them
because of their dual-minority status. JJ 1
Inherently, services to persons with disabilities are services to the most
impoverished members of our community. The 2003 American Community
Survey found that the national economic recession has disproportionately affected
persons with disabilities. Since 2000, poverty has increased dramatically for
persons with disabilities in California. Nationally, California has one of the highest
rates of poor health among age 18 to 64 adults with disabilities.2 In addition,
Alameda County has a higher rate of poverty among age 18 to 64 adults with
disabilities than most Bay Area Counties.3
While Dublin is a more affluent community, Census 2000 data shows that there
are 2,926 persons ages five and older living in Dublin with a disability. Of these,
188 households are on supplemental security income (8SI)4 which make them
among the poorest people in the nation, earning around $800 per month.
People with disabilities are often segregated, isolated in their homes, or in other
ways disenfranchised from their communities. Moreover, they often are unable to
conduct their lives in ways that reflect their personal choices. The barriers that

confront people with disabilities are less related to individual impairment than to
societal attitudes, interpretations of disability, architectural barriers, legal barriers,
and educational barriers. Recent needs assessments conducted by the cities of
Livermore, Pleasanton and others5 describe the lack of reliable public
transportation and affordable housing as key barriers for persons with disabilities.
This is compounded by structural discrimination. For example, in June of 2005
Archstone Builders, owners of Emerald Park in Dublin, signed the largest
settlement of a lawsuit challenging defects in the design and construction of multi-
family housing under the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
In 2003, the National Council on Disability released an extensive report that
identifies the many barriers confronting Americans with disabilities in their efforts
to live independently and in the community. CRIL services directly tackle these
barriers such as:
· Lack of affordable or physically accessible housing · Qualified in-home care
· Lack of affordable and accessible transportation · Neighborhood opposition
CRIL typically serves close to 75 Dublin seniors, residents with disabilities, and
their families each year. These residents request services or assistance including:
. finding an assistant for housekeeping or self care;
. understanding how returning to work will affect their benefits;
. locating accessible housing;
. obtaining assistive technology devices to increase independence;
. preparing transitional education plans for graduating from special
education into the adult world;
and many more. CRIL also provides technical assistance and outreach to
businesses and nonprofit agencies that serve Dublin to help them be more
(aCcessible to seniors and persons with disabilities. During the current

with disabilities to develop secondary conditions.7 Similarly, peer support is a
fundamental principle of the independent living movement because it helps people
recognize possibility and the potential of their own power.
All CRIL services are available at the CRIL Tri-Valley office at the Livermore multi-
service center. In addition, CRIL Coordinators visit people in their homes and give
workshops at the Pleasanton Senior Center. The majority of CRIL staff members
are themselves persons with disabilities, bringing empathy and a peer perspective
to their work.
Bert Vergara, Program Director, will be the primary staff person responsible for
working with low-income Dublin seniors, residents with disabilities, and their
families. Mr. Vergara, a Dublin resident, has six years of experience with
independent living programs and group homes, twelve years of experience in
vocational rehabilitation, and eighteen years of combined
management/supervisory experience in health & human services. Mr. Vergara has
diverse and intensive hands-on experience working in a variety of capacities with
adults and children who have physical, developmental or psychiatric disabilities as
well as able to speak American Sign Language.
Staff working on this project can be reached at CRIL's Livermore branch office at
3311 Pacific Avenue, Livermore, California 94550. The office telephone number
is (925) 371-1531, FAX number is (925) 373-5034, and email is info@cril-

Quantified Goals and Objectives to be Accomplished in 2006-2007 With This
Funding
During the 2006-2007 fiscal year, CRIL will serve 75 low income Dublin seniors.
residents with disabilities, and their families.
20 seniors and persons with disabilities will receive one-on-one direct services
such that the maiority of them achieve one or more self-defined independent Iivinq
qoal(s) as expressed in an independent living plan.
To achieve these goals, CRIL will contribute direct staff time, project funding, a
well-developed library of resources specific to persons with disabilities, an
Assistive Technology self-help lab, monthly peer support/counseling group

directories of accessible health care providers and apartments, and email updates
regarding legislative issues that impact seniors and persons with disabilities.
In addition, CRIL will continue to provide information and referral as well as
technical assistance to 25 families of seniors and persons with disabilities,
businesses and nonprofit aoencies servina the Dublin area.
Moreover, CRIL will disseminate its newly created Tri-Valley Transportation
guidebook and provide at least two Transportation traininos durino the year to
youth and seniors with disabilities.
Dublin minority members with disabilities will benefit from CRIL's targeted
outreach and publication plan to educate Spanish-speaking persons with
disabilities.
CRIL proposes to achieve at least 25% of each of these goals every three months.
Progress will be reported quarterly to the City of Dublin and invoices will be
submitted at that time. It is predicted that CRIL will invoice 25% of the funds
awarded October 31, 2006; January 31, 2007; April 30, 2007; and July 15, 2007.
CRILprides itself on its accessibility to persons with disabilities. All facilities used
are physically accessible and participants create a scent-free environment. The
Tri-Valley and Hayward offices have dedicated TTY lines. CRIL staff use
American Sign Language and hire qualified interpreters as needed. All printed
materials are available in Braille, large print, and on cassette or diskette as
needed for persons who are blind or have low vision.

Dublin Weekend Box Lunch Program
November 28, 2005
Agency Missjon: The mission of Open Heart Kitchen (OHK) is to provide nutritious
prepared meals to the needy people of the Tri Valley Area, without charge or
requirements. Open Heart Kitchen is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) agency.
Program Summary: The Weekend Box Lunch Program, operated by Open Heart
Kitchen, consists of a Friday distribution of box lunches to approximately 800 low-income
school children and their families at Marylin Ave. & Don Gasper de Portola Schools in
Livermore and to the Arroyo Vista housing project in Dublin. Lunches are healthy and
non-perishable.
History: A few years ago, Marylin Ave. School was rated among the lowest performing
schools in California. Noticing the high percentage of low-income families and the
hunger issues in the school area, The Roadrunner Project was born. Among other
things, The Roadrunner Project instated a school breakfast program, expanded the
lunch program and opened a food pantry for the parents of students. By solving the
basic hunger issues, Marylin Ave. School now boasts ever-increasing performance
scores.
In the spirit of extending the successful efforts of The Roadrunner Project, Open Heart
Kitchen has created the Weekend Box Lunch Program to ensure that needy children and
their families have healthy lunches on Saturday and Sunday. OHK began distributing
lunches to the students at Marylin Ave. School in April of 2003 and to the children from
Don Gasper de Portola School in Livermore and Arroyo Vista housing complex in Dublin
in June of 2004.
Open Heart Kitchen understands the reality that parents of these children are busy
working, and that hunger issues affect the whole family. By supporting their most basic
needs, the student will have a stronger family foundation and a better chance at
scholastic success.
Statement of Need: The number of people living in poverty in the Tri-Valley has risen
by 26.6%, from 4,921 in 1990 to 6,229 in 2000. Factor in the loss of jobs, loss of jobless
and welfare benefits and the general downturn of the economy over the last three years
and a very frightening picture is presented. Coupled with the budget crisis and the
inevitable cuts to human services, families living in poverty are in even greater need.
The need to continue this program is urgent. Hunger issues in our own backyard are
rising dramatically as demonstrated by Open Heart Kitchen's meal counts has risen
400% over the last three years and continues to rise year to year from 90,000 in 2004 to
an estimated 120,000 in 2005. The Arroyo Vista housing project has 364 residents
living within the "extremely low" income bracket according to HUD guidelines.

Responsible Party: Carol Beddome leads the Weekend Box Lunch Program. Ms.
Beddome is fully qualified to organize a program of this impact. Ms. Beddome has a
background in sales and management in the high-tech arena, as well as experience in
leading volunteer groups and fund raising activities for geared for children in the Tri-
Valley. Backed by a dedicated team of over 300 regular kitchen volunteers, committee
members and board of directors, Ms. Beddome will be instrumental in making the
Weekend Box Lunch a success.
Operations & Staffing: Youth group volunteer teams meet at Open Heart after school
on Thursdays to assemble box lunches. On Fridays, distribution teams take the lunches
to three different locations, easily accessible to children at Marylin Ave. and Portola
Schools and to the Arroyo Vista housing project.
Goals: OHK anticipates delivering 12,500 boxes (25,000 lunches) to Dublin from July
2006 to July 2007.
Invoicing: Invoices will be submitted quarterly.
Disabled Access: Lunches can be delivered directly to homes and there is no
qualification process other than residency in the Arroyo Vista complex.
Budget: The cost of groceries and supplies to prepare these lunches is only $2.50 per
box with two lunches in each box. Working with an all-volunteer staff, other costs are
minor and are paid for out of our general budget. The total budget for this project is
$31,250 to purchase food for 12,500 boxes (25,000 lunches).

Valley Creative Living Center (Valley CLC), a program of Bay Area Community
Services (BACS), located in Pleasanton, is a year-round, day rehabilitation program
providing services for adults with severe and persistent mental illness in the Tri-Valley

hospital. One hundred percent of the individuals served have a psychiatric disability.
Additionally, 100% of the people served are very low to extremely low income, as

rely on Medi-Cal for their insurance coverage. Approximately 15% of the clients we
serve are from the City of Dublin.
Valley CLC is an essential component in the continuum of mental health services in
Alameda County. This community-based program assists clients in functioning as
independently as possible, by offering a variety of groups and support services.
Employment is a major focus of the program. We offer in-house job skills training
groups, as well as individual support for job searches, and work with the Department of
Rehabilitation to provide members with access to job opportunities. Other activities
focus on skill building, including: budgeting, money management, cooking and nutrition,
gardening, and other independent living skills. We also work with members on issues
such as self-esteem, symptom management, medication management, and learning to
access and utilize supports within the community.
Valley CLC staff coordinate and collaborate with a variety other service providers in
Alameda County. Treatment contacts include, but are not limited to: Pleasanton Adult
School, Las Positas College, Valley Community Support Center, Axis Community
Health, Department of Rehabilitation, Kaiser, Eden Hospital, Regional Center of the East
Bay, Board and Care Homes, as well as private therapists and psychiatrists in the
community. The Valley CLC is a resource and support for parents and relatives who

Need for Service
The current housing situation for very low- and low-income families and individuals is
stressful at best. Temporary financial difficulties can lead to eviction or force a move to.
an emergency shelter. The Bay Area's housing prices combined with high transitional
costs, can serve to lack people out of the hausing market. Even those who. have the funds
to pay transitional costs must wait far their former landlord to repay previously paid

Indicator Profile identifies the most significant causes af homelessness as being the high
costs af hausing, low vacancy rates, lang waiting lists for subsidized housing combined
with diminishing federal subsidies, loss of affordable housing stack, and rising poverty
impacting growing numbers of low-income hauseholds in Alameda County.

1. Description of Program
ECHO's Reverse Mortgage Counseling Program provides valuable assistance to
economically disadvantaged elderly homeowners on the benefits and disadvantages of
reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgages help seniors tap into the equity in their homes to
provide them with increased monthly income, a credit line, or a lump sum of cash to pay
for major expenses. ECHO's Counselors help poor seniors sort through all of the issues
relating to reverse mortgages and, in the process, direct them to other social and financial
services (such as Supplemental Security Income, Property Tax Postponement,
Neighborhood Preservation Program, In-Home Care Agencies) that help them meet their
needs and improve their living situations.
Through ECHO's counseling, seniors are helped to avoid being displaced from their
homes and/or pay for basic or unplanned needs such as utilities, major home repairs,
home security and safety, or home renovation; and enables seniors to remain self-
sufficient as they experience some of the infirmities of aging.
Information & Referrals about Reverse Morteaees - Generally, the initial contact with
the client occurs by telephone. Staff explains the role of ECHO in the process, and
provides a description of the general characteristics of reverse mortgages. Staff also
sends clients written materials describing reverse mortgages. Staff gathers preliminllry
information about the client and his/her situation in order to determine if the client is
eligible for any of the reverse mortgage options and if a reverse mortgage would be
appropriate.
Staff also provides the client with information about other social services including
information about property tax postponement, home rehabilitation grants and loans,
supplemental security income, home weatherization programs and utility service
discounts for seniors. These services are provided directly to seniors, their relatives or
representatives, social service agencies and lending institutions within the community.
In-depth Reverse Morteaee Counseline Session - This ~counseling occurs after the
client has received introductory information about reverse:mortgages and has decided
that he/she would like greater detail about the variety of plans. During the face-to-face
session, which occurs in our office or their place of residence, we repeat the same type of
information that was provided during the initial contact. This is done to refocus the
presentation, refresh the memory of the client, and introduce the concept to those present,
who did not have the benefit of the initial contact.
After the introduction, staff collects detailed information about the client's circumstances
so that staff can assess the client's situation and create a twelve-page report about reverse
mortgages directly tailored to the client's circumstances. Staff gives examples of how the
plans could work for the client, explaining the costs and benefits and the impact upon the
client and his/her estate. Staff provides fmancial examples that show the client how
much money he/she can receive, the costs (such as fees and interest rates), tax
implications, effect on government benefits, and other related matters.
If the client is interested in proceeding further, staff provides websites with names of the
6
'1;4 C1 f 10 t.f
reverse mortgages lenders. Staff explains what to expect when they speak to the lender
and tell them how to deal with the lender.
Some clients or their representatives are able to grasp the information very well via
telephone and do not need a face-to-face meeting. If staff feels that they can grasp the
complicated concepts through telephone counseling, staff will proceed by telephone if the
client wishes. Staff provides precisely the same in-depth counseling that is provided in
the client's home.
Often there is the necessity to have contact with the client or take action in his/her behalf
after the in-depth counseling session. The follow-up contact can take a vilriety of forms
and differing amounts of time. Some examples follow:
· The client may request to meet with us after he/she has met with the lender (this is
advisable in most cases);
. The client may call us for a phone consultation to clarify some points about the
reverse mortgage;
. We may need to assist the client in resolving some matters before the reverse
mortgage can be closed, i.e., title problems, tax. or insurance problems.
Outreach - Group presentations to seniors at public senior centers, churches, and social
service agencies . Group presentations to social service agencies that serve seniors such
as discharge planners and social' workers at hospitals, veteran's groups, and city officials.
Use of media: public service announcements on radio and a new releases to local
newspapers.
The Reverse Mortgage Counseling program coordinates its services and networks and
links with such agencies as the American Association of Retired Persons for technical
assistance and support, the Area Agency on Aging as an aging-issues resource and legal
support agency, Legal Assistance for Seniors to provide legal support to our clients, and
the Gray Panthers as a referral.source. We receive many referrals from lenders, financial
planners, service providers, and senior centers.
Need for Service
The Alameda County Needs Assessment Oversight Committee states that the priority
needs of older adults in Alameda County are "the need to maintain independence; the
need for economic security; ...the need for support to live at home; [and] the need for
access to services..." (planning for Tomorrow: A Profile of the Older Population of
Alameda County, 1994). Although the study was done nine years ago, the same is truer
today than ever before. '
The economy continues to increase home values, but at the same time erodes the buying
power of senior homeowners on fixed incomes. On a national level, the American
Association of Retired Persons estimates that 13 million seniors own their own homes.
Eighty percent (80%) own their homes free and clear. Eighty-five percent (85%) wish to
remain in their homes for the rest of their lives.
There are many low-income senior homeowners in Dublin who have struggled and
7
q5"t7!/04
worked hard all of their lives to be valuable and productive members of the community.
They find that no matter how hard they've worked, and no matter how much they've
planned for their "retirement" years, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to survive in
today's economy.
Many of our clients frequently experience considerable loss of income arising from the
loss of their spouses and are burdened with medical bills from the spouses' illnesses. In
other cases, the senior homeowner is laden with significantly increased financial needs
for medical care, in-home care, home and auto repair, and maintenance, while his/her
income barely meets the daily requirement for items such as food and utilities.
For some seniors, the equity they have accrued in their homes represents the single
largest investment in their lives. They are finding themselves faced with a condition of
being "house rich and cash poor". ECHO's Reverse Mortgage Counseling (or Home
Equity Conversion) program has provided many seniors with the counseling needed to
convert the equity in their homes into monthly income, a lump sum payment, or a line of
credit enabling them to retain their homes, their independence, and provide for expenses
of living. Reverse mortgages prevent institutionalization and homelessness for many
seniors.
ECHO Housing has been in existence for forty years serving the housing needs of
tenants, homeowners, and rentaJ. property owners in Alameda County. ECHO Housing
was founded. in 1964 as a fair housing agency. Since that time, ECHO has expanded its
service delivery to provide a more comprehensive approach to the housing counseling
needs of Alameda County residents. The ultimate goal of ECHO Housing is to promote
equal access in housing and provide support services, which would aid in the prevention
of homelessness and promote permanent housing conditions. Current services include:
Fair Housing, Tenant/Landlord, ReverseMortgage/Home Equity Conversion, Shared
Housing, Mortgage Default and Pre-Purchase, Rental Assistance through guarantees and
grants, and Homeseeking.
Location to Local Residents
ECHO Housing has an office at the City of Livermore's Multi-Service Center, located at
3311 Pacific Avenue. This program is accessible to local residents. In some instances
we provide counseling in the client's home.

1. Description of Program
The TenantlLandlord Counseling Program provides information to tenants and landlords
regarding their rights and responsibilities. We provide inforniation to renters regarding
evictions, deposits, harassment, retaliation, illegal entry, repairs, rent increases, and
leases and rental agreement. We inform them about qualification for BUD subsidies such
as Section 8 Voucher Program, provide referrals to Public Housing Authorities and to
BUD subsidized housing complexes.
Weare able to assist renters with mediation to remain in housing when termination of
rental agreements is threatened. Weare able to determine what type of assistance our
clients need in order to help refer them to the appropriate department within ECHO or to
resources outside our agency.
With the advent of the new year, tenants will be seriously impacted by a sunset provision
in Section 1946.1 of the California Civil Code. This section of the civil code deals
specifically with time required to terminate a tenancy. The pertinent segment of the civil
code have been bolded below:

his or her intention to terminate the tenancy, as provided in this
section.
(b) An owner of a residential dwelling giving notiCe pursuant to
this section shall give notice at least 60 days prior to the proposed

Need for Service
In the City of Dublin there are segments of the population that have special housing
needs such as the elderly, female-headed households, disabled, minorities, non-English

period for Notices to Vacate froJ,1130 days to 60 days. At the beginning of the new year,
California's renters will see a return to the 30 day notice period, which will adversely
impact tenants. It will place 1i:iillts on the time necessary to find another unit, and may,
without the aid of conciliation or mediation, cause the tenant to have negatively affect
their credit record.

Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center
City of Dublin
CDBG Application- December l, 2005
l) Narrative description of their program including complete name, justification of
services and need in Dublin, as well as locationls of access to local residents.
The Tri- Valley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC), a non-profit first time homebuyer
education center, is working regionally to promote affordable homeownership and rental
opportunities in the Tri- Valley region. In order to best understand the TVHOC, it is
important to understand the history of the development of this "clearinghouse,"
The Tri-Valley Affordable Housing Committee, (TV ARC) comprised of elected officials
and staff from the Town of Danville and the cities of Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and
San Ramon, and the Counties of Alameda and Contra Costa, was formed in 1992 to
collaborate and expand regional affordable housing opportunities.
One of the key priorities of the TV ARC has been to promote homeownership among low
and moderate income households in our area to enhance economic stability and social
well-being. Local governments have made significant individual efforts to develop
programs to assist low and moderate income first-time homebuyers. However, constantly
increasing market housing prices limit the effectiveness of many local programs.
Housing costs in the Tri- Valley area are among the highest in the nation (between 2004
and 2005, prices increased nearly 30% to a point where the average price for a single-
family home in the area now exceeds $700,000). Furthermore, persons seeking home
buying assistance must research each individual jurisdiction and frequently find
themselves in a confusing maze of small programs with vastly different restrictions and
requirements.
It became clear to the TV ARC that the two key ingredients to help promote
homeownership among low and moderate income households are: 1) improving access to
existing programs (both public and private sector), and 2) preparing prospective buyers
for homeownership (both intellectually and financially). Through its existing multi-
jurisdictional collaboration, the TV ARC developed the concept of a "clearinghouse." In
2004, with the support of our local congressional representatives, the collaborative
received an appropriation of$223,200 from the U.S, Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) Economic Development Initiatives grant program. [This funding
can only be used for capital expenses related to the establishment of the clearinghouse.]
Problems inherent in coordinating the seven distinct housing programs made it difficult to
effectively provide information to . the public about affordable housing opportunities. To
address this need, the TV ARC established the Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center
(TVHOC). The TVHOC opened on September 26, 2005 in Livermore, CA to serve the
residents of the Tri-Valley region by coordinating programs and services for persons
seeking homeownership opportunities in the Tri-Valley region. The key services
provided by the TVHOC include first-time home buyer training, financial training, and
RECEIVED

credit counseling.
In the past two months since its opening, the TVHOC has already provided general and
in-depth services to nearly 600 individuals, including individualized finanCial counseling
sessions and on-going case management. Although the top priority has been to begin
providing immediate services to our clients, our most important short-term goals are
related to establishing the components that will ensure the long-term financial well-being
and eventual independence of this new non-profit agency. One of the most important of
these is the identification of additional financial resources to sustain the agency through
the initial two to three years of operation until long-term financial support sources are
identified (e.g., permanent partnerships, fee-based services, etc.).
The TVHOC receives referrals from the City of Dublin as well as the Town of Danville
and the cities of Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon. We have also partnered with
the local real estate community to educate their organizations in order to best serve
homebuyers in the Tri- Valley region. These organizations refer their clients in need to
the TVHOC for in-depth homebuyer education.
The TVHOC offers approximately two orientations per month to provide general
information about our first time homebuyer education process. Our orientations are held
at our office in Livermore as well as the city offices in the Tri- Valley. On November 17,
2005 we held an orientation at the City of San Ramon and on January 25,2006 we will
offer our orientation at the City of Pleasant on. We plan to hold orientations at the City of
Dublin and the Town of Dublin by the second quarter of 2006.
