FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
(see discussion below)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Background
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are provided by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). The City of Dublin works with Alameda County's Urban CDBG
Program to allocate funds and with HUD to assure that all CDBG-funded activities are in compliance with
federal regulations.
Every year the County will dedicate a percentage of each Urban County city's CDBG allocation of 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 County cities as well as the unincorporated County area. In Dublin, the Fair Housing Service
Provider is currently ECHO Housing.
The City of Dublin has participated in the Alameda County's Urban-County CDBG Program since 1982.
The City of Dublin, along with the cities of Albany, Emeryville, Newark and Piedmont, make up the
Urban County cities. During this current Fiscal Year (FY 2006-2007), the City received $83,866 in
CDBG funding, plus an additional $16,977.62 in excess rehabilitation funds that needed to be used by
June 30, 2007.
During this year's application cycle, the City of Dublin received 10 applications for the use of 2007 -2008
CDBG funds. In addition, the City has a 10- year commitment 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. This will be the 6th year of the City's lO-year
commitment to pay this amount to the City of Livermore.
Page 2 of 10
Staff has reviewed the proposed activities and past program performance of the service providers to
ensure activities are in compliance with CDBG guidelines. Based on the review, Staff is recommending
the request of funds for the non-profit agencies outlined in this report.
Following the City Council's action on how the City's CDBG project funds will be distributed, the
approved applications will be submitted to the Urban County CDBG Program. When the County reviews
and approves Dublin's project applications, a Program Agreement between the City and the County will
be drafted, which the City Council will be requested to authorize. The final City-County Program
Agreement will be submitted to HUD in June 2007.
ANALYSIS:
Fiscal Year 2007-2008 CDBG Allocations
The County of Alameda Housing and Community Development (HCD), the fiscal agent for the Urban
County CDBG Program, has not yet received the 2007-2008 CDBG funds allocation figure from HUD
for distribution to the Urban County cities. When the amount is unknown, for planning purposes, the
County typically uses the same amount that was allocated the previous year. At this time, it is anticipated
that the HUD budget for CDBG will be less than the amount allocated in Fiscal Year 2006-2007.
Should there be a decrease in CDBG funding, Staff recommends that the percentage decrease be
distributed evenly across all the programs that do not have mandatory set amounts. In the event there is an
increase in CDBG funding, Staff recommends that the increase amount be placed into the City's Sidewalk
Safety Repair and Curb Ramp Replacement Program.
The table below illustrates the following information regarding the CDBG Applications:
1) Original Funding 2006-2007- the amount that was originally approved by the City Council for
Fiscal Year 2006-2007 funds;
2) Reallocation Amount - the reallocation amount based on additional funds received from the
rehabilitation program;
3) Total amount funded for Fiscal Year 2006-2007;

The goal is to provide domestic violence services to 25 Dublin residents.
Homeless Services - The homeless services include a family crisis shelter, Sojourner House, in Livermore
and two offices in Pleasanton to better serve Dublin residents in addition to a food pantry. The overall

New Applications for Fiscal Year 2007-2008
Tri-Valley Housin2 Opportunity Center - First Time Homebuyer Education Requestin2 $10.000
New Application Staff Recommends $-0-
Program Goal- The Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC) was opened in September 2005 to
serve the residents of the Tri-Valley region by coordinating programs and services for persons seeking
homeownership and rental opportunities. The City of Dublin, along with other participating cities in the
Tri-Valley Area, provided start-up funding in the amount of $50,000 each to the TVHOC in Fiscal Year
2005-2006. The initial program services provided by the TVHOC included first-time home buyer
training, financial training, credit counseling and affordable rental referrals.
2007-2008 Request - The TVHOC is requesting funding for the introduction of a Financial
Literacy/Education Program to the Tri-Valley cities. The Program would provide an extensive eight-week
course on the development and maintenance of finance, sustaining housing and the creation of wealth.
The TVHOC is considered a "One Stop-Shop". It offers one-on-one counseling on private sector lender
programs, available funding sources, homebuyer pre and post purchase education, available affordable
homes for sale or rent, and other services associated with home purchasing.
Staff Recommendation - The TVHOC is requesting $10,000 to pay for staff salaries to support the efforts
of housing and financial literacy programs. Staff does not recommend funding through Community
Development Block Grant money in 2007-2008. Staff suggests that the City could use the Affordable
Housing In-Lieu Funds to pay for services on an as needed basis.
Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) - Homebuyer Education - Requestin2 $ 5.000
New Application Staff Recommends $ -0-
Program Goal - ECHO Housing is requesting funds to provide homebuyer education to assist potential
homeowners in the process of purchasing a home. This education includes two 4-hour classes on the
intricacies of the purchase process, in addition to, pre and post-purchase counseling which includes
Page 8 of 10
education in the areas of budgeting, credit repair, how to protect oneself from discriminatory behavior,
predatory lending, homeownership incentives and home-buying opportunities.
2007-2008 Request - $5,000 to fund the above Program.
Staff Recommendation - The City of Dublin currently is receiving this type of services for Dublin residents
from the Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC). Staff recommends not funding this Program.
Eden Council for Hope & Opportunity (ECHO) - Reverse Mort2a2e Counselin2 -Requestin2 5.120
New Application Staff Recommends $ -0-
Program Goal - ECHO Housing is requesting funds to provide reverse mortgage counseling to residents
in the City of Dublin. This Program provides assistance to economically disadvantaged elderly
homeowners on the benefits and risks of reverse mortgages. Reverse mortgages help seniors use the
equity in their homes to increase their monthly income to pay for major expenses. After the initial contact
with a client, ECHO Staff provides information on the general characteristics of reverse mortgages, sends
the client written materials and gathers preliminary information about the client's situation to determine if
the reverse mortgage is appropriate. Further counseling is offered, and if the client is interested, ECHO
Staff provides web sites with names of reverse mortgage lenders and explains what to expect and how to
deal with a lender.
2007-2008 Request - $5,120 to fund the above Program.
StafJ Recommendation - Staff recommends not funding this program and will work with the Tri-Valley
Housing Opportunity Center to see if this service can be provided in the future.
Valley Care Health System - Emer2enCy Department Expansion
New Applicatioll
- Requestin2 $25.000
Staff Recommends $ -0-
Program Goals - Valley Care Health System is requesting funds for the expansion and modernization of
the new Emergency Department at Valley Care Medical Center in Pleasanton. The new facility will
enhance the ability of its health professionals to provide high quality diagnosis and treatment services for
the growing number of sick and injured patients who require emergency care. The proposal states that
emergency care is available regardless of financial status; therefore, low and moderate income persons
will have access to services.
Because CDBG funds may only be used to provide services to households at or below 80% of the area
median, Staff asked the County HCD whether this type of request was eligible under the CDBG
guidelines. Michelle Starratt, the County's Housing Development Manager, stated that she spoke with
Steve Sachs, Regional 9 HUD Director and he recommended not funding this project for several reasons:
1) The question arises as to whether or not the hospital actually qualifies as a public facility. For instance,
if it is a privately held non profit (HMO hospital) then it does not qualify. In addition, if fees are charged
for the services, the fees must be "Nominal or reasonable", and more importantly, the service provider
would have to prove that the fees are "Nominal and reasonable" on an ongoing basis; 2) The process of
proving that the service provider is serving 51 % low and moderate clients will require that they collect
income data on everyone that comes into the hospital. Tracking those who are just Medicare or medical
recipients won't be enough; and 3) If any CDBG funds would be used for this project, the entire
expansion would be subject to Davis Bacon wages, thus extensive monitoring by Staff would be required.
Page 9 of 10
2007-2008 Request - $25,000 to fund the above activity.
Staff Recommendation - Based on the recommendation from HUD and the County, Staff recommends not
funding this project.
Contracts with A2encies Proposin2 Non-City Projects
If the City Council approves Staff s recommendations for funding for these various non-City proj ects, the
City of Dublin would need to enter into a separate contract with each agency for purposes of project
administration.
All of the recommended projects meet the CDBG program's national objectives of benefiting low and
moderate income persons, homeless persons or persons with disabilities and, they are all eligible uses of
CDBG funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Receive Staff presentation; 2) Direct Staff to submit
applications to the County HCD for $83,866 in CDBG funding for Fiscal Year 2007/2008 as outlined
below:
. Bay Area Community Services $ 5,000
. City Sidewalk Ramp Program $ 10,926
. Open Heart Kitchen $ 10,000
. Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley $ 10,476
. Spectrum Community Services -Meals on Wheels $ 5,578
. Tri- Valley Haven Domestic ViolencelHomeless Shelter $ 15,000
. Housing Rehabilitation (required by the County) $ 14,859
. Annual Contribution toward Sojourner House $ 5,427
. Program Administration $ 6,600
TOTAL: $ 83,866
and
3) Ifthere should be a decrease in funds allocated to the City of Dublin, direct Staff to distribute the
decrease evenly across all the programs that do not have mandatory set amounts. If there should be an
increase in funding, direct Staff to apply the funds to the City's Sidewalk Safety Repair and Curb Ramp
Replacement Program.

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.

Alameda County. Treatment contacts include, but are not limited to: Pleasanton Adult

1. Description of Program
Homebuyer Education assists potential homeowners, one-on-one, by educating them in
budgeting, selective buying, homeownership responsibilities, the Federal Housing
Administration (FHA), the California Housing Finance Agency (CFHA), and Mortgage Credit
Certificates (MCC), as well as conventional financing, HUD-mortgage insurance and assistance
programs, including interest subsidy programs; how to apply for HUD-insured mortgages;
purchase procedures, including closing costs, alternatives for financing the purchase; real estate
terms; budgeting, mortgages, down payments, and interest rates are reviewed and discussed.
In conjunction with one-to-one pre-purchase counseling, ECHO's Homebuyer Education staff
provides two 4-hour classes on the intricacies of the purchase process. Each series of classes (8
hours) provides aspiring homebuyers with credit counseling information, credit repair, how to
protect oneself from discriminatory behavior, homeownership incentives, home buying
opportunities, predatory lending; and presentations by realtors and lenders. After completion of
the series of classes, each potential homeowner is given a Certificate of Completion.
Please see Homebuyer Education course outlines following the narrative.
In addition to pre-purchase counseling and classes, ECHO staff provides post-purchase
counseling in the form of budgeting, repayment plans, resale information, and foreclosure
information. ECHO also assists defaulting homeowners in preserving their home ownership
and/or credit rating. The program helps families and individuals who are in jeopardy of losing
their homes due to foreclosure; identification of the causes of the default or delinquency; client's
motivation, resources, and ability to resolve the default or delinquency; arranging reinstatement
plans, including working with client's creditors; subsidy re-certifications; budgeting when in
default or delinquent; money management; referrals to other resources; locating alternative
housing; determination of amount and extent of default; identification of the cause of default;
determination whether the mortgagor, with the assistance of counseling agency, might bring the
account current within a time period and payment plan acceptable to mortgagee; follow-up
counseling with the mortgagor on an as-needed basis until the default is corrected or the
mortgagee completes foreclosure; foreclosure; alternatives to foreclosure - sale of property;
deed-in lieu; pre-foreclosure sale program.
Outreach - Use of media: public service announcements on radio and television and a new
release to local newspapers.
Need for Service
Alameda County is experiencing an affordable housing shortage, as vacancy rates dip below
2.5%. (Us. Census Bureau, 2000) At the height of the dot com boom, vacancy rates were
wavering between I % and 2%. Although the housing market has softened with the collapse of
the industry, the need for safe, decent, affordable housing is an ever-present concern. The
homeowner vacancy rate is 1.8% and the rental vacancy rate and the rental vacancy rate is 2.73%
per U.S. Census Bureau, 2000. The Tri-Valley Herald article, January 23,2000, occupancy rates
throughout the Bay Area are typically above 95% for all types of housing.
Recognizing that the high cost of housing presents a challenge to all first-time homebuyers,

especially those with low to moderate incomes, ECHO Housing is proposing to provide two 8-
hours homebuyer education workshops in the City of Dublin. Currently, ECHO provides
homebuyer education workshops once a quarter in the City of Pleasanton for the Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
ECHO Housing has been in existence for forty-one 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 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

1. Description of Program
ECHO's Reverse Mortgage Counseling Program provides valuable assistance to economically
disadvantaged elderly homeowners on the benefits and risks 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 Morte:ages - 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 preliminary information about the client
and hislher 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 Mort2a2e Counselin2 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 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 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
-6-

c~,1
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 variety 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 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.
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 twelve years ago, the same is truer today than ever before.
According to the Us. Census, Dublin's senior population has increased by 79% between 1990
and 2000. There are many low-income senior homeowners in Dublin who have struggled and
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. And, "according to the CHAS (Comprehensive
Housing Affordability Strategy) data there are 12,135 elderly homeowner households in the
Urban County area; of those households, close to 33% (3,971) were extremely low and low-
income households. The significant rehabilitation needs of the low and moderate-income

County, Urban County, Strategic Plan, 2005-2009
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-one 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 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, Homeseeking, and Rental Assistance through guarantees and grants.
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.

n ecencly, a letter
ft we received from
a former guest who I
-/ will call "Ed" touched
me and reminded me of the impact
that Open Heart Kitchen has on the
lives of our guests. In his letter, Ed
shares with us that as a teenager, he
was a guest at our Hot Meals
Program. Now ten years later, he is
gainfully employed as a Systems
Administrator with a local company.
He feels that good things should
come back to those who give them
and enclosed a generous donation to
Open Heart Kitchen.
It takes both time and money to
make a significant difference in our
community. In the past 11 years,
Open Heart Kitchen has served over
425,000 meals to low income
Tri-Valley families and people just
like Ed, thanks to the loving support
of individuals throughout our
community.
This fall, local corporations are
launching their giving campaigns.
Corporate leaders like Lawrence
Livermore National Labs, Sandia
National Labs, Chevron Corpora-
tion, Lennar Homes, Marcel Orth-
odontics, SBC, Sybase, Intuit, Wells
Fargo, Macys, and Nordstrom are
lending their time and money by
encouraging their employees to
volunteer during the work week at
Open Heart Kitchen, participate in
workplace giving campaigns, and
sponsor much needed food drives
through campaigns managed by Tri-
Valley Community Foundation and
United Way. The combined effort of
these organizations provided over
20% of the meals we served last year.
A heartfelt thanks to our corporate
sponsors!
I would like to extend an
invitation to all local businesses to
make a difference to those who are
in need in the Tri- Valley as the best
investment we can all make is in
our local community. One out of
four families in our area struggles
to make ends meet. Open Heart
Kitchen satisfies the basic need for
food and no other non-profit
agency addresses hunger in the Tri-
Valley area to the broad extent that
Open Heart Kitchen does.
Your support helps us make sure
low-income families in the Tri-
Valley have access to nutritious
meals. Your support helps children
like Ed learn and grow and the
health and well-being of our
children is a vital and enduring
benefit to our community.
Thanks again for all of your
help. .

Volunteer
Spotlight
he "heart" ofOHK is our volunteers. Whether those volunteers come to us on an indi-
vidual basis or join us as part of a corporate or faith-based group taking ownership of a
specific volunteer activity and shift time, OHK could not fled our guests without them. Below,
we profile two shift coordinators from two local churches and one long-time volunteer with
OHK If you are interested in volunteeringyour time, talent, and heart, please contact Mary
Poston at 925-580-1619 or mposton@openheartkitchen.org
Debra Mitchell,
a resident of
Pleasanton for 11
years and a wife
and a mother of
three, is on the
Public Affairs
Committee of the
Church ofJesus
Christ of Latter
Day Saints, and coordinates the
community service focus for that
committee. According to Debra,
Open Heart Kitchen was an easy
choice as she already was a volunteer
with the organization. "I learned
about OHK early on through the
newspaper and ended up coordinat-
ing volunteers for two years in its
early years for the then Pleasanton
location, Lynnwood United Method-
ist Church. OHK has been one of
my very, very favorites."
As a shift coordinator, Debra
recruits a team of volunteers to cover
the Prep Shift at Ridgeview Com-
mons Cafe once a week. "This is a
great opportunity for individual
church members to participate," she
explains. Debra recruits church
members by either email or phone
from five different congregations. "I
love cheerleading the organization,"
she adds.
What do her recruits think about
volunteering at OHK? "They love it!
It's something so worthwhile, the
feeling you get when doing some-
thing for a great cause. Many say,
'Please sign me up again!'" Can a
shift coordinator really make a
positive difference in the commu-
nity? As one regular volunteer told
Debra recently after being recruited
by her many years ago, "You're the
one that got me hooked up with
OHK."
Livermore resident Mary Fair has
been volunteering for OHK for
seven years working on a team before
becoming a shift coordinator from
St. Charles Bonomeo, which
contributes six groups a month at the
East Avenue site. "I feel like I'm a
little teeny part of what our commu-
nity does at OHK," she says. She
first heard ofOHK as a member of
her parish's Social Concerns Com-
mittee that decided to support OHK
as an active ministry. "It's a way to
just give back in gratitude for all of
God's blessings." A former deli and
catering business
owner, Mary
personally sup-
ported this minis-
try, "Because I got
to know these men
and women, and I
felt this need to
really help them."
Mary compares
the responsibilities of a shift coordi-
nator and team to that of any career
profession. "You work with a team,
meet deadlines together, complete
tasks, plus get instant feedback. If
you are a results type of person, you
really see them with meals done on
time and happy people." Mary finds
being a shift coordinator both
educational and entertaining. "It
gives you the opportunity to work as
a team, learn about cooking, gain
organization skills in preparing food,
and have fun at really doing some-
thing nice for the community."
At 94, Ethel Lee Chong knows
how to "play" and does it well.
According to the philosophy of
famous writer Mark Twain, "Work
consists of whatever a body is obliged
to do and Play consists of whatever a
body is not obliged to do." As a
volunteer at OHK, Ethel is "not
obliged" to volunteer, but does so
with a joy and positive energy that is
contagious to all who "play" with her.
A volunteer with
OHK since its
beginning in 1995,
Ethel remembers
that OHK was not
as busy as it is now,
serving up to 600
meals a day. "It was
a slow beginning
and very small," she
remembers. "We only had soup and
sandwiches and hardly anyone came.
So we invited some work men to
come have lunch." Now, Ethel and
her friends, Vange, Kathy, Michelle,
and Ron, share a morning shift at the
East Avenue site once a month. Her
volunteer duties vary from chopping
and preparing vegetables and other
menu items, to cooking the food,
preparing salads, and serving the
guests.
In 2002, Ethel was the recipient
of the San Francisco 4gers and the
National Football League's Commu-
nity Quarterback Award for "Out-
standing leadership, dedication, and
commitment to bettering the
community in which she lives."
When first told about the award she
says, "I was shocked; it was a happy
experience."
A Livermore resident since 1989,
Ethel was born in San Francisco,
raised in Stockton and has worked
various jobs throughout her life. She
was married in 1941, in Hawaii, to
Frank Chong and a month later
witnessed the bombing of Pearl
Harbor, "I saw the planes. It was a
Sunday morning." She has three
children, seven grandchildren, and
one great-grandchild. In addition to
spending time with family and
volunteering, she enjoys art classes
and Chinese Brush painting. "I
create cards for fun, and I don't have
a computer, so everything I do is an
original." .

match of all proceeds donated by the community! Last year, the Fund
collected over $75,000 for local charities, including OHK. The proceeds
from the 2005 Holiday Fund helped us to provide 5,000 meals to the
hungry in the Tri-Valley. Look for OHK's profile in an upcoming Pleasanton
Weekly issue, and the opportunity to have your donation doubled by the Tri-
Valley Community Foundation.
The Pleasanton Weekly is Pleasanton's community newspaper. The Tri-
Valley Community Foundation's purpose is strategic fundraising to address
critical, unmet needs of the Pleasanton, Livermore,
Dublin, Sunol, San
Ramon, Danville, and
Alamo communities. · 'W:EEK:I.Y

As OHK is a small organization
with a small operating budget, we
have many of the same day-to-day
needs as many of our guests ...
transportation, working kitchen
equipment, and of course, food. We
focus on providing the best meal
service we can to our clients while
remaining ever mindful of the
expenses we incur. The community
has really come through for us not
only in monetary donations and
volunteer hours, but also with
"donations-in-kind."
For example, OHK was using a
30-year old van to transport box
lunches for school children in
Livermore and families in Dublin.
With every month that went by,
something else went wrong with the
van! A plea went out to the commu-
nity, and the Holtz family of
Pleasanton donated their 1994
Suburban. The Suburban did its
duty as the "family car" for the
Holtz's and their five children for
many years; OHK handled all the
paperwork in transferring the vehicle.
Karen Holtz "hopes the Suburban
serves OHK well in the years ahead."
Big 0 Tires of Livermore recently
donated a new tire and labor!
The law firm of Fenwick and
West in San Francisco has been
providing OHK with pro-bono
services for matters related to our
internal policies, employment issues,
and the organization's by-laws. As we
grow as an organization, this assis-
tance is vital to ensure that we go
about doing things the right way, for
our staff, volunteers, and guests.
At no charge, a commercial
electrical firm in Pleasanton helped us
to upgrade part of the electrical
system at 460 North Livermore to
accommodate the increased load
placed by OHK using this location as
a serving site. Lennar Homes of San
Ramon donated several brand new
refrigerators from their model homes;
we sold them through Craig's List!
Finally, blessings of food are
always welcome as they allow us to
reduce our food costs and stretch our
donated dollars. The Farmer's
Market donations reported in the last
newsletter continue to roll in. The
Livermore HOGs (the local Harley
Davidson Chapter) donated 1,200
hams! At one of their monthly

Ms. Gaylene Burkett
Housing Assistant
City of Dublin
100 Civic Plaza
Dublin, CA 94568
Dear Ms. Burkett:
Thank you for your consideration of Open Heart Kitchen's (OHK) grant proposal. With so many
worthwhile organizations requesting funds, it must be very difficult to select the few you are able
to fund. We appreciate the opportunity to request your consideration for grant funding.
Serving the Tri-Valley community since 1995, Open Heart Kitchen serves nutritious lunches and
dinners to anyone who is hungry, without charge or qualification. Unlike typical urban soup
kitchens that cater to the homeless, most of our guests are low-income people who have jobs and
a place to live. They come from all walks of life. Single parent families, seniors on a fixed
income, men and women working two jobs, people who are unemployed or deeply in debt all find
that a free hot meal can help make ends meet. A small number of guests are homeless and find
comfort in the fellowship of other people as well as a nutritious meal. Guests are invited to dine
at the kitchen or are welcome to take meals home. A small percentage of the guests are
"regulars" who come every week. However, the majority of our guests come for a few visits who
then get back on their feet and move on.
OHK continues to be a refuge for people in crisis. The approach of serving delicious meals to
anyone without requirement is held in high regard amongst the over 800+ volunteers who lend
their time and talent yearly. Their passion and commitment is the "heart" of Open Heart Kitchen.
Open Heart Kitchen is fortunate to be located in an extremely generous community. Over 91 %
of every donated dollar goes directly to providing meals to people in need.
A generous grant of$10,000.00 from The City of Dublin would be used to purchase food and
supplies for the boxed lunches distributed to Arroyo Vista residents.
Please find enclosed all information requested to be submitted for your review. Thank you very
much for your consideration.

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 maintaining 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
disabilities, simple tasks such as bathing, dressing, cooking, shopping and
handling financial affairs are extremely difficult, if not impossible. If left
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, in-home reassurance
(friendly visiting), chore worker registry services, in-home counseling,
Partners in Safety, information and referral, nutrition and fitness programs,
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 the initial visit, a
care plan is formulated with the senior and their family. This plan includes
locating, arranging and overseeing services such as transportation, meals,
safety devices, 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 Medicare
and health insurances. The situation is monitored on an ongoing basis at
!.flu DO J /0
intervals 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. This 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. We are still very excited about working with
the staff at the Dublin Senior Center and providing information whenever it
is asked of us. Weare still working with the Tri- 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 all local senior citizen
providers. The program staff provides consultation services for the Dublin
Senior Center, and also coordinates services with Spectrum, Adult protective
services, Hope Hospice, meals on wheels, Valley Health Care System and
Kaiser Health System as well as many other groups, churches, and
organizations.

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 2007-2008, with this funding,
30 Dublin Seniors and their families will receive case
management services. Fifty seniors will receive one-time-
only services.
5. This work will be started in July 2007 and completed in June of 2008.
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 also work
with Seniors at the Dublin Senior Center and Whitlow. We are located at
the Pleasanton Senior Center, which is handicapped accessible.

Meals On Wheels for Dublin Residents
Spectrum Community Services, Inc.
NARRATIVE
Description of Pr02ram
Spectrum Community Services requests Community Development Block Grant funding
to sustain its Meals on Wheels delivery route in Dublin for fiscal year 2007 -2008. This
support will enable Spectrum to continue to deliver an average of 15 hot, nutritious meals
daily to the homes oflow-income, frail, homebound elderly residents in 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 3700 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 the 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 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 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 17 years.

Goals and Objectives
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 3720 meals to frail homebound seniors residing in the City
of Dublin (an average of at least 15 per day for 248 serving days) during the grant
period from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008.
2. During the same grant period, serve a minimum of 25 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 the week
prior to the needed day. During 2007 -2008, there will be a total of 248 Delivery days.
Timetable for Invoicin2
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.

Domestic Violence and Homeless Services

1. Narrative description of program including complete name, justification of services and need in
Dublin, as well as location/s of access to local residents
Tri-Valley Haven was established in 1977 to provide safe shelter for women and children escaping domestic
violence. We are now also the primary provider of services for homeless and low-to-extremely low income Tri-
Valley residents. Our major programs include a 24-hour Crisis Line, a Domestic Violence Shelter in a
confidential location, a Homeless Family Shelter, a Food Pantry, and a Rape Crisis Center. Additional services
such as individual and/or group counseling and restraining order clinics are provided at our Community
Building, and at a satellite office in Pleasanton which affords easier access to services for Dublin and
Pleasanton residents. Additionally, our community educators travel throughout the region to provide prevention
education to schools. businesses, service clubs and other groups. Our mission statement reads: Tri-Valley Haven
creates homes safefi'om abuse, contributes 10 a more peace fit! society, one person, one family, one community
at a time. Together we build a world ~without violence.
The core of our Domestic Violence Program is Shiloh, a 30 bed emergency shelter in a confidential location
where women and children may stay for up to 105 days. The initial 45 days of the program is Phase 1. During
this time, 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 needs additional time to
accomplish goals, she may apply for Phase II, an extension of up to 60 days. Each adult client attends
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 Job Readiness, Life Skills,
and Family Night. Children's individual counseling and support group are also available. A Ca1WORKS
Specialist provides advocacy and information regarding public benefits programs as well as employment
preparation and job search assistance. Shiloh also participates in Linkages, a subsidized housing program with
case management for clients who are \vorking toward self-sufficiency through job training or employment in an
entry-level position. Clients who are accepted into Linkages upon their exit from Shiloh may remain in that
program for up to 24 months. contingent upon their continuing to work toward their goals.
Counseling services are available to non-Shiloh residents at our Community Building and in Pleasanton.
Counseling for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault is an important component of the work we do.
Counseling assists victims to reccver emotionally from their traumatic experiences. Through the healing
process they are able to increase their level of self awareness, confidence, and functioning. Clients receive
individual and/or group counseling to specifically address the domestic violence cycle and dynamics for change
with successful outcomes. Individual counseling is also provided for children, along with family counseling for
families in crisis. In particular, the children receive therapeutic assistance in processing their emotions from
their difficult experiences. The help provided can range from a one time call to the crisis hotline to a counseling
relationship that can last for a significant time as the healing process takes place.
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 2.vailable through om toll-free Crisis Line, which is answered
around the clock by staff and volunteers who have completed a State approved 65-hour training.
Tri-Valley Haven's Rape Crisis Center has served the Valley since 1981. It was founded to provide advocacy
services for victims/survivors and their significant others. It provides immediate support to victims through the
Tri-Valley SART (Sexual Assault Response Team). Individual and group counseling is also provided, as are
community education presentations and seif-defense courses.

Tri- Valley Haven added a Homeless Shelter, Sojourner House, in 2002. Our Homeless Services inClude the 16-
bed emergency shelter, a Food Pantry that distributes food obtained from multiple sources, and the HOPE
(Homeless Outreach for People Empowerment) Van. a mobile outreach unit.
Sojourner House offers shelter and case management for up to six months to two-parent families, single
mothers and fathers with their children and single women. Sojourner House residents also receive individual
counseling, and group meetings which include Life Skills training, Family Night and Parenting. Tri-Valley
Haven's CalWORKs Specialist provides services to domestic violence survivors at the homeless shelter. A
Linkages case manager helps qualified clients obtain transitional housing upon exit from Sojourner.
The Food Pantry is located in Livermore. In addition 10 food. the pantry also provides emergency motel
vouchers, gas cards, and phone cards, as well as referrals to other community services.
The HOPE Van offers lmv-income and homeless individuals and families medical care, mental health care, drug
and alcohol counseling, and case management services at various locations in Livermore and Pleasanton.
All Tri-Valley Haven 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. 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 agencies, provide
referrals to Tri- Valley Haven services. Filers are sent throughout the community as new services are added.
The Tri- Valley Area has increased in population and affluence over recent years. However areas of the core
towns and rural areas contain growing pCh::kets of poverty. The high cost ofliving and current job market
squeezes the lower middle class to seek support services, along with those who are unemployed or working in
minimum wage positions. Most county services for Domestic Violence and Homelessness concentrate outside
the Tri-Valley Area. It takes a minimum of one and a half hours and two transfers to reach the county seat of
Oakland by public transportation. Tri,.VaHey Haven serves a rural and suburban area that is geographically
isolated from other parts of Alameda County. Because of this geographic isolation, it is crucial that local
services remain available.
We saw in increase in Dublin residents seeking services during the 2005/06 fiscal year. Tri-Valley Haven's
Crisis Line fielded 117 calls from Dublin residents, up from 89 Dublin resident calls in '04-'05. 248 Dublin
residents utilized our Food Pantry services in '05-'06. In just the first quarter of '06-'07,110 Dublin residents
have availed themselves of Food Pantry services, and 9 Dublin residents have received counseling services.

Tri- Valley Housing Opportunity Center
Community Development Block Grant Application

IDLe? j J LP
1) Narrative description of their program including complete name, justification of
services and need in Dublin, as well as location/s of access to local residents.
The Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity Center (TVHOC), a non-profit housing counseling
and education center, with a focus on low and moderate income, first time homebuyers.
The TVHOC is working regionally to promote affordable homeownership, rental
opportunities, and the stability of current homeowners and renters in the Tri-Valley
regIOn.
The Tri-Valley Housing Opportunity's establishment began through the vision of 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 the Tri-Valley region 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,
with constantly rising home prices, the effectiveness of many local programs is limited.
Furthermore, persons seeking home buying assistance must research each individual
jurisdiction and frequently find themselves in a confusing maze of affordable assistance
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 and rental opportunities in the Tri- Valley region. The initial
program services provided by the TVHOC included first-time home buyer training,
financial training, and credit counseling and affordable rental referral.
In the year since its opening, the TVHOC has provided 17 Program orientations to the
Tri-Valley region, hosted six, eight hour homebuyer workshops to 894 households and .'

provided one-on-one counseling to 308 individuals, including individualized financial
counseling sessions and on-going case management. One of the Center's greatest
achievement has been assisting 32 households achieve homeownership.
/0 :2, Db J llo
The City Dublin has one of the strongest tax bases in Alameda County, the population
and services have almost doubled since 1990. In the next ten years, the growth to the
Dublin community is anticipated to multiply by another 35%-40%; which brings more
job creation, and more demands on housing. It is clearly substantiated that one of the
largest concerns to an employer and/or business is employee retention; which is why
providing housing resources and having affordable housing available to those that work
in the community is imperative to the continued growth ofthe Dublin business
community.
The Center is providing valuable services to assist the City of Dublin and surrounding
regions, maneuver through the real estate process and provide resources that will assist
the Dublin community obtain housing in their place of work and/or worship.
To give perspective of housing costs and needs in the City of Dublin, the costs are among
the highest in the nation (between 2004 and 2005, prices increased nearly 81 %, to a point
where the average price for a single-family home in the area exceeded $800,000). As
home prices continue to climb, the income of approximately 75% of Dublin resident is
$50,000, with the median being $83,123 for a family of four. The published census data
reflects that even though households are earning a good, sustaining income, that still the
majority of households cannot afford purchase a home in Dublin. However, with the
assistance of the City, the Center has been successful in counseling and educating
potential buyers, and linking them with the City's Below Market Rate Units and down
payment/closing cost subsidies.
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 to their organizations in order to best serve
homebuyers in the Tri-Valley region. These organizations refer their clients in need to
the TVHOC for counseling and homebuyer education.
The TVHOC offers one orientation 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 in facilities that are located in the Tri- Valley region. TVHOC
hosted an orientation at the City of Dublin Library Community Room on September 27,
2006, where we had full class. We plan to hold orientations at the City of Dublin and the
Town of Dublin in the second quarter of2007.
In addition to housing services, another area of concentration for the Center is on the
service workers, low-low-income households, and youth. In 2007-2008, the Center will
be introducing a financial literacy/education program to the City of Dublin, Pleasanton,
and Livermore. The financial literacy program will provide an extensive eight-week
course on the development and maintaining of finance, sustaining housing, and the

creation of wealth (micro-business, homeownership, or higher education). The TVHOC
has been awarded funding from Associated Community Action Program to outreach and
educate the underserved and under privileged areas of the Tri -Valley.

In the City of Dublin the immigrant and ethnic base continue to grow, and unfortunately
many of these households find themselves a part of the communities which are
underserved and poor. The City of Dublin has 14% of Latin decent, 10% African
American, and 10% Asian, these percentages are growing rapidly, seeing almost a 30% in
the Asian community.

V ALLEYCARE HEALTH SYSTEM
EXP ANSION/MODERNIZATION PROJECT
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, V ALLEYCARE MEDICAL CENTER
BACKGROUND
ValleyCare Health System has developed plans to carry out an impOliant project to
improve the health and well-being of children and adults in communities throughout the
Tri-Valley. The Project will expand and modernize the Emergency Department at
Valley Care Medical Center in Pleasanton. The new facility will enhance the ability of our
health professionals to provide high quality diagnosis and treatment services for the
growing number of sick and injured patients who require emergency care.
In recent years V alleyCare' s two hospitals have been serving a growing number of patients,
a caseload that is likely to continue increasing in the years to come. The Emergency
Department, one of the busiest units, will accommodate more than 26,000 visitors this year,
double the number of cases in 1991. The current occupancy rate, 2,147 patients per bed per
year, is far higher than the accepted standard of 1,500-1,800 patients per bed. The
Department must add 3-6 beds to handle the current caseload; 17 new beds are needed to
accommodate the anticipated increase in patient visits during the next ten years.
After carefully considering the current caseload and the anticipated growth of the
Emergency Services program, the Board of Directors approved a $6.7 million project to
expand and modernize the Emergency Department at ValleyCare Medical Center in
Pleasanton. When completed the Department will occupy 10,000 sq. ft. of floor space,
more than twice the size of the current facility. It will include a second Triage Area, a 23-
bed Treatment Area (12 new beds), and a Waiting Area to accommodate 30 patients, triple
the current capacity.
The new Emergency Department will enable V alleyCare' s staff to maintain its long
tradition of providing quality emergency services for children and adults, regardless of
financial status. Our open-door policy, established with the opening of our first facility in
1961, assures the availability of care patients without regard to race, religion, ethnicity,
national origin or financial condition. ValleyCare, in fact, remains one of the foremost
philanthropic organizations in the area, with expenditures of $3-$6 million each year for
'community service', services to meet the health needs of uninsured and underinsur
persons.
