requesting the reallocation of$16,977 62 of Dublin's 2004-
2005 CDBG contribution toward the Housing Rehabilitation
Program to the 2006-2007 CDBG program to offset the
reductIon III CDBG funding to service provIders the City
experienced due to the approximately 10% federal cut in
funds and to augment funding for the City of Dublin's
SIdewalk Safety RepaIr Program,
(see discussion below)
DESCRIPTION:
On January 17, 2006, the City Council approved Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding
fur various services, organizations and City programs based on 2005-2006 allocations ($93,505), When
the County released the 2006-2007 CDBG allocatIOn, the amount was reduced from last year by
approximately 10% to $83,866 As authorized by the City Council, adjustments were therefore made to
the original amounts that the City Council had approved for each organization and program.
Following the City Council action of January 17,2006, the County of Alameda informed the City of
Dublin that the County has $16,977 62 in unused Dublin money from 2004-2005 This money was
designated by Alameda County HCD for housing rehabilitation for residents in the City of Dublin. The
funds, however, have not been used. Pursuant to the Urban County policy, the City must request that the
funds be reallocated 10 specific ('DBG approved projects and/or programs prior to twenty-four months
from the original allocatIOn, or June 30, 2006 Otherwise, the policy states that the Owner Rehabilitation
Entitlement Funds are reallocated to Urban County Contingency for use by any Urban County City

ITEM NO.~
According to HCD, the City could request that these unused rehabilitation funds be committed to another
eligible City of Dublin program. These programs could be either for the service organizations that the
City of Dublin currently funds each year, or the funds could be committed to Implement a Cily Capital
Improvement Project relating to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements or both.
Based on the excess rehabilitation funds noted in column D ofthe Chart below, Staff recommends that the
CDBG Apphcants who were not fully funded be fully funded using the excess monies in rehabilitatIOn for
FY 2004-2005 This would leave $10,200 62 III FY 2004-2005 rehabilitation monies that could be
reallocated to another program subject to CDnG guidelines.
Staff recommends that the $10,200 62 in excess CDnG rchabilitation monies be directed towards the City
of Dublin Sidewalk Safely Repair Program. Although only $8,388 was onginally requested, Public
Works Stalrindicate that the additional money would help to retrofit the many ramps that eXist III the
City

SDCctrum CommunilY Services - Meals on Wheels Program - $5.000

homebound low-income seniors in Dublin. CUn"ently an average of 23 seniors within Dublin are
receiving meals daily through this program,
CommunilY Resource for lndeDCndent Living (CRILl - $10,000
CRJL proposed to provide general services 1075 Dublin residenls and Case Management to 20 residents.
General services consiSI 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

persistent mental illness. The program includes educational and recreational activities that promote
independent living. The proposal provided indicates that the Center will provide this assistanee 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 Iypically 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 Project~
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 scrvice providers to provide Pair
Housing Services throughout the Urban Cities as well as the unincorporated county area. In Dublin the
Fair Housing Se.rvice Provider is currently ECRO 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
Afler the City Council deeides how the City's CDBG project funds will be distributed, the appropriate
applications must be submitted to the County RCD by February 3, 2005 It is necessary to apply for
CDBG funds for specific projects annually because the City participales in the Urban County CDBG
Page 4 of 8
Program under an annual agreement. Once the County HCD reviews and approves Dublin's project G"'OO \ 17
applications, a program agreement betwccn the City and the County HCD will be drafted, whieh the City
Council will need to authorize. The final City-Counly agreemenl will then be submitted to the federal
Housing and Urban Development Department in June of this year
CDBG Jurisdiction Improvement Proiects For Consideration
The orgamzations and projects requesting funding from the City of Dublin's 2006-2007 CDBG funds are
as follows:
City of Dublin - Sidewalk Access Ramps for Handicapoed Aceessibilitv - 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 Ihe demand for Dublin's CDBG funds from non-profit ageneies is
strong so in 2006-2007 Staff recommends reducing the amount from CDBG funds to $10,000, This
funding would provide approximatcly 5 handicapped ramps.
Citv Committed to $5,427
Staff Recommends $5,427
The Cily of Dublin entered into a PartIcIpating Jurisdiction Agreement with Livermore, Pleasanton and
the County of Alameda to pay hack money borrowed for the purchase and rehabilitation of Tri- Valley
Haven's Sojourner House Family Crisis Shelter (see Attachment 38). 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 Li vermore.
Citv of Livermore - Contribulion of Repayment of Section 108 Loan

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 contraclS
with Ihe City. In addition, this year services are being provided at the ncw Dublin Senior Center as well
as Ihe P!easanton Senior Center
Tri- Valley Haven - Domestic Violence Shelter/Homeless Shelter-
Reauestin2 $ 15.000
Staff Recommends $ 14,765

variou~ serviLe 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
organization also has a family crisis shelter, Sojourner House, in Livermore and two offices in Pleasa~~ II?
to better serve Dublin residents. Staff recommends funding at close to the requested amount.
S{JCctrum Community Services, Inc. - Meals on Wheels-
Requesting $ 5,601
Staff Recommends $ 5.000
Spectrum Communily 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 Cummunity S",rviccs plans to continue to deliver an average of at least 23 hot,
nutritious meals daily to Ihe homes of low-income frail, homebound elderly residents of Dublin. Meals
are individually packaged, eoumed 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 recommend~ that this
organization be funded again for 2006-2007 at close to the amount requested.
Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL)-.
Dublin IndelJCndent Livinl! Services
Reauestinl! $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. CRll.. will benefil 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.
OlJCn Heart Kitchen - Weekend Box Lunch
Requestinl! $10.000
Staff Recommends $10.000
Open Heart Kitchen requests funding tu conllllue distributing weekend lunch boxes to residents at Arroyo
Vista Housing Complex. Over 364 residents in Arroyo Vista are eligible for box lunehcs and could
benefit from consistent provision of weekend lunch boxes, Open Heart Kitchen currently provides 257
lunch boxes per weekend and would likc to eontinue doing so to Arroyo Vista residents. Staff
recommends funding in 2006-2007 at the amount requested.
Bav Area Communitv Services Valley Creative Living Center
ReQuestinl! $ 5.000
Staff Recommends $ 5.000
Bay Area Community Services is requesting $5,000 in funding to assist with Staff costs for their Valley
Crealive 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 adulls 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 und group
activities. Staff recommends funding in 2006-2007 at the amount requested,
Eden Council for Hope and OVPOTlunitv (ECHO) Rental Assistance Pro!rrllll1- 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 of8
ECHO has previously provided this service through 2001-2002 and at thaI time had limited succe1'/J It:?
finding households in Ihe 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 la.~t year yet there arc morc applieations this year requesting funding_
Eden Council for Hove and Oooortunity (ECHO) - Rcverse 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 wilh
reverse mortgage products, theyeounsel regarding loan produets 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 a~ailable to Dublin residents. The Center did assure Staff that loan product counseling is
available to all inlerested Dublin residents. Because the service being offered in this proposed program
would be duplicative, Staff recommends no funding for this program.
Eden Council for Hove and Opportunity (ECHO) - Tenant/Landlord Counseling - Reuuesting $6,810
New Application Staff Recommends $ 0
ECHO is requesting $6,810 to provide Tenant/Landlord 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 CDBO amount that the County of Alameda receives
from HUD. The Counly of Alameda, on bchalf of the fi ve eities mentioned, enters into a contract cvery
year for lenantllandlord 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 Cily of Dublin's CDBO funds and as this
tenant/landlord counseling is already available, Staff recommends no funding for this program.
TriVallev Housing OODortunitv Center - First Time Homebuver Education Reauesting $10,000
New Application Staff Recommends $ 0
The TriValley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC) was formed during this fiscal year to provide
housing services to the residents of the 5 TriVulley cities. The Center is established und located in
Livermore. It has been soliciting and receiving funds from various private parties sueh 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 classcs would be available to residcnts purehasing 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.
Staff reeommends no funding to this agency from CDBO 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 CDBO funds available for the upcoming fiscal ycar is very SfJ I {?
limited and therc are many existing ageneies requesting the funding to continue to providc serviees to
Dublin residents.
Staff has infonned Ihe TVHOC that it would be more beneficial if the Center sought the needed funds
through Ihe 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 Al!encles Proposinl! Non-Cltv Proiects
If Ihe City Council approves funding for Ihese various non-City projects, Dublin would need to enter into
a separate contract with each ageney for purposes of project administration and fund tracking,
All of the above projects meet the COBO program's national objectives of benefiting low and moderate
income persons or homeless or persons with disabilities and, they are all eligible uses of CDBO funds.

City of Dublin
Request for Proposal
July 2006-June 2007
1. Semor Support Program addresses the needs of the aging population in
our commumty, Chronic illnesses and the "wearing out" process can
prevent seniors from rnaintaimng 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
disal>ilities, simple tasks such as bathmg, dressing, cooking, shoppmg and
ltMufling finanCIal affarrs are extremely difficult, if not impossible. If left
alone, the senior's inability to perform these daily tasks neceSSitates
mstitutionalizatIon. The financial burden of institutionalization can quickly
deplete an entire lifebme of savings. When a senior no longer has the
resources to pay for care, society must bear the burden, as tax dollars
subsidize institutJOnahzation.
Senior Support Program of the Tn Valley staff has been providmg 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 servJ.ces, in~
home counseling, Partners in Safety, mformation 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. TIns assessment COnsiSts of an evaluation
of the senior's environment, their physical, mental and emotional status, and
their need for assistance with daily living activines. After tjIe imtial visit, a
care plan is formulated with the senior and their family. TIus plan mcludes
locatmg, arranging and overseeing ServIceS such as transportation, meals,
safety devices, and in~bome 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
applymg for Medi-Cal. food stamps and SS! and assistance with ~icare
and health insurances. The situation is monitored on an ongoing basis at
I / V r II.-' I
Z.!7~117
intervals appropriate to the individual needs of the senior, and care plans are
modified as necessary.
Another vital component of tlns program lS the provision of support and
educational services for the elder and their family. This support can be
CruCl.al. 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 staff works closely with the City of Dublin and the Dublin
Police Department, assisting semors 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 Sernor Center. This year we started a
relationship with The Tri- Valley Rotary providing them Wlth rerell als of
seniors who need home clean ups or minor home repair. Several Dublin
residents were mcluded in this project.
The Sernor Support program works actively with all local senior citizen
providers. The program staff provides consultatiOn services for the Dublin
Senior Center, and also coordinates services with Spectrum, Adult protectlve
services, Valley Volunteer Center, Legal Aid, Hope Hosplce, meals on
wheels, Valley Health Care System and Kaiser Health System as well as
many other groups, churches, and organizations.

1. Narrative description of program including complete Dame, justifieatioD of serviees and Deed in
Dublin, a8 weD 118 loeationls of aeeessto loeal residents
Since 1977, Tri,Valley Haven has provided shelter and eounseling for women and their children escaping
domestic violence in the Tri-Valley area. Today, Tri.Valley Haven operates a domestic violence program.
homeless program, and Rape Crisis Center. The Haven ereates homes safe from abuse and contributes to a
more peaceful society one person, one family, and one community at a time,
The domestic violence program consists ofa confidential emergeney 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 4S to 105 days. Upon entry into the program, clients are accepted for the initial
4S days. During this time, the women work with a ease 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 tnmsitional housing, and a CalWORKs Specialist who provides advocacy and
information regarding public benefits programs as well as employment preparation and job seareh assistance.
Individual and group counseling services are also available to non-Shiloh residents at our Community Building.
We also operate a satellite offiee in Pleasanton to better serve residents of Dublin and Pleasanton. A legal clinic
is offered twice a week, once in Livennore, 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 throughout toll.free Crisis Line, which is answered by staff
aDd trained volunteers 24 hours a day.
In 2002, Tri. Valley Haven added homeless services to its spectrum of care. Homeless serviees consist of an
emergency sheller, Food Pantry, and a mobile outreach unit called the HOPE <Homeless Outreach People
Empowerment) Van. The 16+bcd homeless shelter, Sojourner House, is illS-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 arldition to food
also provides clients with emergency motel vouchers, gas cards, and phone cards, as weIl as referrals to other
community services. The HOPE Van offers low-income and homeless individuals and families medical care
and case management services at various locations in Livennore and Pleasanton,
In operation since 1981, Tri"Valley Haven's Rape Crisis Center provides eommunity education presentations,
self.defense courses, individual and group eounseling, 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 Out 24 hour Crisis Line. Clients may also access
services in person, either by appointment or on II drop-in basis, at Out Community Building, Food Pantry, or
HOPE Van. Additionally, many other agencies and groups, sueh as the National Domestic Violenee Hotline,
local YeIlow Pages, law enforcements agencies, the courts,ehurehes, local hospitals, and mental health
2;Ub U)
agencies, provide referrals to Tri-Valley Haven services. Fliers are sent throughout the C()mmWlity as new
services are added.
The need. for services in the Tri_ V alley area is important for the following rellSOIlll, As the Tri- Valley area
population expands and shows ever-increasing affluence, the town 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 nuDnl.y in Oakland. It takes a minimum of one and l'l halfhoUl'S and two transfers to reach the
county seat ofO..kh.nd by public t.nulsportation. Tri-Valley Haven serves a rumlllDd suburban area that is
geographically isolated from other parts of Alameda County. B,",,'1I1oe of this geographic isolation, it is erlleial
that local services remain available. Regarding the need specifically in Dublin, during the 2004/05 fiscal year,
the Haven' 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 Prol!ram
Speetrum Community Serviees requests Community Development Block Grant funding
to sustam 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 admmisters federal Older American Act funds to Spectrum,
In Dublin, Spectrum eurrently 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~dellvered meal servlCt; 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 (ineluding income status and agc), 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 arc
reassessed quarterly b) the Home Delivery Coordinator
The monthly menu, whIch ]s prepared by a Registered Dlehtian, covers many therapeutic
diets; includIng diabetic, low-sodium, renal, mechanical soft, and can accommodate
vegelarians. Soups are provided weekly, and clients may request tortillas or nee.
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 paekaged 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 man) 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 e)(pected to increase by more than 75% from
1990 to 20 lOIn 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, I 56---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 pereent of Dublin 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 Jiving beeome 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 lIIcreased 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, metahohc function, energy, and balance.
A growing number of scniors 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 tor 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 nutl1tion 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.

Narrative Description of CRIL's Program
Independent Living seNices 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. " 1
Inherently, services to persons with disabilities are seNices to the most
impoverished members of our community. The 2003 American Community
SUNey 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 (551)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

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
~usinesses and nonprofit agencies that serve Dublin to help them be more
(- aCCessibJ.e to seniors and persons with disabilities, During the current
2006-2007fiscal year, CRIL has already served over 40 residents, helped
open-theunew Senior Center, and is creating a guidebook to accessible
transportation in the Tri-Valley
These are examples of CRIL's work.. activities that have been proven to improve
outcomes for persons living in the community6 and to reduce the risks for persons

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.

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 oersons with disabilities will receive one-an-one direct services
such that the maioritv of ~hem achieve one or more self-defined indeoendent livin!:!
ooal(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

regarding legislative issues that impact seniors and persons with disabilities,
In addition, CRIL will continue to orovide information and referral as well as
technical assistance to 25 families of seniors and persons with disabilities,
businesses and nonprofit aqencies servina the Dublin area.
Moreover, CRIL will disseminate its newly created Tri-Valley Transportation
guidebook and provide at least two Transoortation traininas durino the vear 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
CRIL prides 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 Mission: The mission of Open Heart Kitchen (OHK) is to provide nutritious
prepared meals to the needy people of the Tri Valley Area, wlthout charge or
requirements. Open Heart Kitchen is a non-profil501(c) (3) agency
Program Summary: The Weekend Box Lunch Program, operated by Open Heart
Kitehen, 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 Califomia. 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
luneh 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 thil TriNalley 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 benefrts 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 niled.
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.

Valley. Backed by a dedicated team of over 300 regular kitchen volunteel'll, committee

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.

minor and are paid for out of our general budgat The total budget for this project is

Need fol' 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 lock people out of the housing lll.lII:ket. Even those who have the funds
to pay transitional costs must wait for their fonner landlord to repay previously paid
deposits.
The United Way Needs Assessment of Alameda County, and the Alameda County Needs
Indicator Profile identifies the most sigDificant causes of homelessness as being the high
costs of housing, low vacancy rates, long waiting lists for subsidized housing combined
with diminishing federal subsidies, loss of affordable housing stoek, and rising poverty
impacting growing numbers oflow-ineome households in Alameda County
Through utilization of the Rental Assistanee Ptogram (RAP), affordable housing can be
attainable for low- to moderate-income households. Households who may otherwise be
displaced into emergency shelters or on the streets, are provided an additional option to
prevent their displacement. This project will serve Dublin residents on a eitywide basis.

tenants, homeoV\>Uers, and reJ,'1ta1 property owners in Alameda County ECHO Housing
was tounded.in 1964 as a fair housing agency Sinee that time, ECHO has expanded its
serviee delivery to provide a more comprehensive approach to the housing counseling
needs of Alameda County residents. The ultimate goal of ECHO Housing is tu promote
equal access in houSing and provide support services, whieQ. would aid in the prevention
of homelessness and promote permanent housing eonditions. Current services include:
Fair Housing, TenantlLandlord, Home Equity Conversion, Shared Housing, Mortgage
Default and Pre-Purchase, Rental Assistance through guarantees and grants, and

1. Description of l'l"ogram
ECHO's Reverse Mortgage Counseling Program provides valuable lI85istanee to
eCQuomieally 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 ineome, a credit line, or a lump sum of cash to pay
for major expenses. ECHO's Counselors help poor seniors sort through aU of the issues
relating to reverse mortgages and, in the process, direct them to other soeial 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 sueh 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 & Refel"r.l!s abaut Reverse Mart2a2e5 - 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 eharaeteristies of reverse mortgages. Staff also
sends clients written materials describing reverse mortgages. Staff gathers prelimiMl}'
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 ineome, home weatherization programs and utility service
discounts for seniors. These services are provided directly to seniors, their relatives or
representatives, social serviee agencies and lending institutions within the community
In-depth Reverse Marte:ae:e Counselinll: Session - 1bis .counseling occurs after the
client has received introduetory 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 introduee 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 ean assess the client's situation and ereate 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 hislher estate. Staff provides financial 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
-'11.--CJtJ \ I)
reverse mortgages lenders. Staff explains what to expect when they speak to the lender
md 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 em 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 elient's home.
Often there is the necessity to have contact with the client or take action in hislher behalf
after the in-depth counseling session. The follow-up contact can take a variety of forms
md differing amoWlts 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 II 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: publie service announcements on radio and a DeW releases to local
newspapers.
The Reverse Mortgage Counseling program coordinates its services and networks and
links with sueh agencies as the American Association of Retired Persons for technical
assistanee 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 s~or centers,

aeeess 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 ",conomy continues to increase hOlle 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-ineome senior homeowners in Dublin who have struggled and
7
'7
?13 06 117
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 e~perienee 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 Itunp sum payment, or a line of
credit enabling them to retam their homes, their independenee, and provide for expenses
of living. Reverse mortgages prevent institutionalization and homelessness for many
seruors.
ECHO Housing has been in existenee for forty years serving the housing needs of
tenants, homeowners, and rental 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 uf ECHO Housing is to promote

The Tenant/Landlord Counseling Program provides informabon to tenants and landlords
regarding their rights and responsibilities. We provide information to renters regarding
evictions, deposits, harassment, retaliation, illegal entry, repairs, rent Increases, and
leases and rental agreement. We inform them about qualification for HUD subsidies such
as Section 8 Voucher Program, provide referrals to Public Housing Authorities and to
HUD subsidized housing complexes.
We are 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
oode have been bolded below:
1946.1. (a) Nocwithstanding Section 1946, a hiring of residential
real property for a term nDt gpecified by the partieg, is deemed to

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
speaking immigrants, and the homeless. Of Dublin's population total of29,973, 5% are
elderly and of that number, 3% are in poverty. Nine percent are female-headed
households, 12% are disabled, 26% are minorities, and 11 % speak little or no English.
Of a total of 3,276 renter households, 37% of are spending more than 30% of their
incomes on housing.
As mentioned previously, Section 1946.1 of the California Civil Code extended the
period for Notices to Vacate from 30 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 limits 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.
ECHO Housing has been in existence for forty years serving the housing needs of
tenants, homeowners, and rental property owners in Alameda County ECHO Housing
was founded in 1964 as a fair housing agency Since that time, ECHO has expanded its

Tri-VaUey Housing Opportunity Center
City of Dublin
CDBG Application- December I, 200S
I) Nammve description of their prog1'/lm including complete name, ju$tiftcation of
senrees and need in Dublin, as well as locatioNs of access to local residents.
The Tri-ValleyHousing 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 Conunittee, (TV AHC) comprised of elected officials
and sta.fffrom the Town ofDanville 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 AHC 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 houaeholds 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, thc TV AHC 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 clearinghouae.]
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 A..HC established the Tn-Valley Housing Opportunity Center
(TVHOe). The TVHOC opened on September 26. 200S in Livermore, CA to serve the
residents of the Tn-Valley region by coordinating prograrn.s and services for persons
seeking homeownersh1p opportunities in the Tn-Valley region. The key services
provided by the TYROe include first-time home buyer training, financial training, and

credit counseling.
In th.e past two months since its opening, the TYROC has already provided general and
in-depth services to nearly 600 individuals, including individualized financial counseling
sessions and on-going case managem.ent. 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 independencCl 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- V alley region. These organizations refer their clients in need to
the TVHOC for in-depth homebuyer education.
The TVHoe offersapplOximately 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 ofPleasanton. We plan to hold orientations at the City of
Dublin and the Town of Dublin by the second quarter of 2006.
