The PLHA program uses money for real estate transaction recordings to help cities address housing and homelessness issues, according to a city staff report. Pleasanton received $644,361 from 2019-2021, which it split between CityServe and Tri-Valley Haven. The city is now eligible to apply for $228,805 for 2022-23.
Those funds would help Tri-Valley Haven operate a temporary shelter while it rebuilds its former 30-bed shelter into a new 45-bed facility. Temporary shelters include motels and a rented home.
Pleasanton has already contributed $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds to the shelter rebuild project, with $240,205 from Dublin and $1.48 million from Livermore.
The funding will allow vulnerable families to be safely housed while the new shelter is built.
