ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
3.1 Public Comments – None
3.2 Presentation by Alameda County Sheriff’s Office
Paul Hess, Emergency Services Supervisor of Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, with the Office
of Homeland Security and Emergency Services presented information about how the Sheriff’s
Office collaborates with local social service agencies in emergency situations.
Mr. Hess mentioned that most cities have established emergency volunteer centers with an
organized group of people, trained to help at the time of an incident.
Chair Lockhart stated that these volunteers are referred to as disaster relief volunteers.
Amy Cunningham, Assistant to the City Manager, stated that the Neighborhood Resources Unit
in conjunction with Roger Bradley, Assistant to the City Manager, is coordinating that function
for the City of Dublin.
Chair Lockhart asked if block captains and the Neighborhood W atch Program is involved.
Mr. Hess confirmed the Neighborhood Watch Program is involved. He further stated that a
grant received this year is helping to establish a website for the emergency volunteer centers.
He added that the website has information for the public and for the volunteer centers to provide
continuing training and mentoring.
Chair Lockhart asked if Collaborating Agencies Responding to Disasters (CARD) is reaching out
to people where English is their second language. She explained that Dublin includes many
people in this demographic and expressed concern about the lack of disaster preparedness
information provided to these residents.
DRAFT HSC Meeting Minutes, July 24, 2014 Page 2 of 10
Mr. Hess stated that he was not sure if CARD is reaching out to other language groups, but will
check on that.
Vc. Brown asked what services the emergency volunteer centers provide.
Mr. Hess explained that the centers collect, analyze and categorize the skill level of each
volunteer and assign them to functions that best match their skill set.
Cm. McCormick asked if CARD is a government agency.
Mr. Hess explained that CARD is a not-for-profit organization that provides educational services
to people throughout Alameda County.
Cm. McCormick asked if Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) is similar to CARD.
Mr. Hess explained that VOAD is a nationwide program comprised of various agencies that
respond post disaster. VOAD volunteers have specific skills and functions. One, such group,
the Mennonite Church, rebuilds homes after a disaster. He also explained another function of
CARD is to train people that are economically challenged and agencies that can assist these
groups.
Ms. Cunningham explained that CARD spoke at the recent Faith Leaders Breakfast about
disaster preparedness and provided faith leaders with information about how their
congregations could prepare for disasters.
Terry Langdon with the Office of Emergency Services explained that VOAD is a national
program. Alameda County has had its own VOAD program for three years. She added that the
Alameda County VOAD is currently identifying church and volunteer organizations that can be
used post disaster. She encouraged any group to contact them to be added to the VOAD list.
Vc. Brown asked how the HSC and other Commissions can help with pre/post disaster needs.
Mr. Hess suggested the Commission identify the top ten human services needs that could
surface in Dublin post disaster. He then recommended the Commissioners support the City
through information and preparedness. He encouraged the Commissioners to think about
people with special needs including single moms and the elderly who may need extra
assistance post disaster.
Chair Lockhart asked who determines if an organization’s facility, whether public or privately
owned, can be used for feeding or shelter post disaster.
DRAFT HSC Meeting Minutes, July 24, 2014 Page 3 of 10
Mr. Hess explained that in emergencies the Operations group, those staff working in the field
(fire, police, public works, emergency services), will advise the Logistics staff that a facility is
needed.
Chair Lockhart suggested that the HSC put together a plan to identify facilities that might be
needed. She felt that, if possible, organizations should be consulted prior to a disaster about
the use of their facilities.
Ms. Cunningham explained that Roger Bradley has a data base that includes organizations and
businesses the City works with in the event of an emergency.
Chair Lockhart asked if the Shannon Center is the only volunteer center and voiced concern that
it may be problematic getting across town in a post disaster situation.
Ms. Cunningham explained that multiple sites throughout the City have been identified for use
as volunteer centers and shelters, including the Office of Emergency Services, which is located
by the Santa Rita Jail.
Chair Lockhart asked how Camp Parks military base will be used during a disaster.
Vc. Brown explained that Camp Parks practices various scenarios for preparedness, such as
setting up a shelter and a morgue unit. He explained that Camp Parks responds and reports to
the Department of Defense about how the facility will be used. He then mentioned that
education and communication is the most important role the HSC can have. He suggested the
core focus be on the Neighborhood W atch program.
Ms. Langdon reminded the HSC that a shelter in place during criminal activity or during
explosions is also a type of mini-disaster. She then added that neighborhood training is
paramount to successfully handling the smaller disasters. These events prepare neighborhoods
for larger disasters.
Ms. Cunningham stated that Dublin’s police officers and fire department are contracted through
Alameda County. These relationships provide for greater support in disasters. When faced with
a disaster Dublin has many amenities available.
Chair Lockhart stated that the HSC should establish priorities as to whether the Commission will
be more effective focusing on everyday human service needs or disasters. She emphasized
education as the common denominator for both.

NEW BUSINESS
8.1 Joint Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton Human Services Commission
Workshop held June 10, 2014
Ms. Cunningham opened the discussion by summarizing the joint Human Services Commission
workshop as presented in the staff report. She stated that Pleasanton was unable to pick their
representatives for the subcommittee due to a lack of a quorum for their last meeting. She
added that they expect to choose two or three representatives at their next meeting in late
August.
Cm. McCormick thought the joint meeting was a valuable exercise in learning how other
commissions approach the needs in their communities. She noted that some commissions take
a hands-on approach by raising money, designing a community plan and identifying agencies to
fund that fill their priority needs.
Ms. Cunningham highlighted that the other two cities have a much larger population and are
eligible for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding as entitlement cities, whereas
Dublin mainly uses General Fund money in granting funds.
Cm. Wakamoto Lee noted that Livermore is collaborative within the region.
Ms. Cunningham stated that Livermore and Pleasanton commissions are excited that Dublin
has a formal HSC as this creates opportunities for more regional collaboration.
Vc. Brown suggested establishing a HSC task force to assist in the recruitment of volunteers to
help with the HSC’s educational piece. He explained that task forces have been used by other
commissions and may provide the hands-on approach the HSC is looking for.
Cm. McCormick stated she would also like to see a more proactive approach either through a
task force or through a design plan with the assistance of a consultant who can identify funding
needs.
Ms. Cunningham explained that grant funding centers on the City Council’s priorities. She then
outlined progressive steps taken regionally and locally addressing human services needs in the
Tri-Valley.
Vc. Brown emphasized the importance of knowing the demographics of those in need, including:
age, gender, race and economic status. He explained that this would assist in targeting
services to existing and emerging needs.
DRAFT HSC Meeting Minutes, July 24, 2014 Page 5 of 10
Cm. McCormick asked if demographic statistics appear in Eastern Alameda County Human
Services Needs Assessment (Needs Assessment).
Ms. Cunningham stated that the Needs Assessment does contain some demographic data, but
it may be too dated and general to use. She suggested getting more current data.
Chair Lockhart elaborated that Scott Haggerty of Alameda County Board of Supervisors may
have this information. She suggested having Josh Thurman, Deputy Chief of Staff, from Scott
Haggerty’s Office speak to the HSC regarding the demographics of Dublin residents and their
needs.
Vc. Brown suggested obtaining demographics from Eden I & R.
Ms. Cunningham explained that the demographics obtained from Eden I & R are provided
voluntarily by the participants and may not be conclusive.
Chair Lockhart suggested obtaining a broader range of demographics: age, number of children
and single parent households. She stated these statistics may be obtained through The Young
Men’s Christian Association, Eden Housing or the Groves at Dublin Ranch.
Cm. Wakamoto-Lee stated that Axis Community Health may be able to provide statistics. She
also suggested capturing English as a second language data. She noted that Eden I & R may
record this statistic when translation services are used.
Ms. Cunningham asked if the HSC would prefer: 1.Staff to compile data; or 2. to have service
providers come in and speak; or 3. Staff can compile a list and the Commission can choose a
few providers from the list to come in and speak.
Chair Lockhart stated choosing from a list would be helpful.
Cm. Muetterties asked if the HSC can make a request from the City Council to meet monthly.
Ms. Cunningham explained the process to increase the frequency of meetings would be initiated
through the strategic planning process. It would require additional funding and staff resources.
Chair Lockhart stated that for the HSC to be effective, they would need to meet more often. She
further explained that to educate the public it would be easier for them to remember a monthly
meeting, rather than quarterly.
Cm. Wakamoto-Lee added that the HSC should identify an effective way to provide
communication, either through a meeting or reading materials.
Chair Lockhart stated that some education can be provided through the Neighborhood Watch
captains.
DRAFT HSC Meeting Minutes, July 24, 2014 Page 6 of 10
Cm. Muetterties asked how often block captains meet.
Ms. Cunningham answered that it is up to each neighborhood to decide how often they would
like or need to meet.
Cm. Muetterties suggested the HSC represent at National Night Out.
Chair Lockhart stated that it is up to the City Council to decide if the HSC should attend National
Night Out.
Ms. Cunningham clarified, as individuals the Commissioners could attend National Night Out
gatherings and discuss regional priorities with community members.
Chair Lockhart suggested the HSC focus on the local need of mental health. She explained this
regional priority does not get addressed often. Understanding and acceptance must exist for
organizations to effectively assist these people in successfully living on their own in the
community.
Ms. Cunningham suggested the Commissioners focus on what the majority of residents need.
Vc. Brown stated that behavioral health is a recognized need and suggested bringing in
organizations that can discuss the topic with the HSC.
Chair Lockhart suggested seeking data to determine if Dublin residents have unmet mental
health needs.
Cm. Wakamoto-Lee explained that behavioral health is hard to identify and unless you see a
person in a particular behavior, it may go unnoticed.
Ms. Cunningham suggested having Josh Thurman speak at the next HSC meeting to identify
behavioral health and other County services provided to residents in Dublin.
Cm. Wakamoto-Lee stated that Dublin broke the barrier with what low income housing looks
like. She would like to see Dublin do the same with mental health, by taking out the stigma and
adding compassion.
Chair Lockhart stated that mental health has been silently calling for help but the HSC would
need City leadership support before it can be tackled. She related to her fellow Commissioners
that as a Commission, their role is to advise the Council.
Ms. Cunningham suggested that the HSC could identify the top needs and recommended
actions for the City Council to consider through the strategic planning process.
DRAFT HSC Meeting Minutes, July 24, 2014 Page 7 of 10
The HSC discussed whether to focus on the top three regional issues as decided upon at the
joint HSC workshop.
Cm. Muetterties asked if Josh Thurman could help the HSC identify the most critical need out of
the top three.
Ms. Cunningham stated that Josh can pull data relating to the top three needs. She asked for
consensus from the Commissioners that they want to focus on the top three regional needs and
not any of the other eleven needs identified in the Needs Assessment.
The HSC agreed to focus on the top three needs decided upon at the joint Human
Services Commission workshop: 1. behavioral health; 2. health care (including dental
care); and 3. senior services.
Ms. Cunningham stated that all three cities are currently doing a lot to help meet the need for
medical services through the joint funding agreement with Axis Community Health (Axis). The
funding will assist with construction of the new facility.
Vc. Brown asked if Axis has a behavior health unit.
Ms. Cunningham stated yes. She explained counseling services are provided in addition to
referrals to other agencies that might have resources to address mental health needs.
Vc. Brown reiterated how the Commission can go forward with a plan: 1. get data; and 2. review
the data to determine a priority; and 3. write it down.
The HSC discussed how they can write it down through a work session, an identified timeline,
and a work plan.
Ms. Cunningham reiterated that at the next HSC meeting Josh Thurman from Scott
Haggerty’s Office will be invited to speak. He could provide the County’s perspective on
what the needs are as it relates to the three regional priorities and suggest ways the HSC
can move forward locally. Once the information is presented the HSC can discuss the
results and draft a work plan.
Chair Lockhart asked if the HSC can be informed of the new strategic planning process so that
more meeting opportunities for the Commission can be requested.
Ms. Cunningham explained that the strategic planning process starts after the new City Council
is seated.
8.2 Human Services Commissioners Term of Office and Reappointment Process
DRAFT HSC Meeting Minutes, July 24, 2014 Page 8 of 10
Ms. Darensburg presented the term of office for each Commissioner and explained the
reappointment process. She advised that the process will begin in the latter part of October or
beginning of November.
Ms. Cunningham encouraged the Commissioners to outreach to residents interested in human
services and encourage them to apply. She explained that the HSC appointment process will
be aligned with the other commissions starting next year.
OTHER BUSINESS
9.0 Brief INFORMATION ONLY reports from the Human Services Commission
and / or Staff related to meetings attended at City Expense (AB 1234).
Cm. Muetterties shared information about an event in Pleasanton, Kids Against Hunger.
Volunteers packed food that was then shipped to Haiti.
Cm. McCormick invited the Commissioners to the McCormick Rose Garden dedication
ceremony at Emerald Glen Park on August 7, 2014, 5:30 PM.
Ms. Darensburg stated that the City of Dublin received notification from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that the City has reached the population threshold to
become an entitlement City. She explained that the City has already entered into a cooperative
agreement with Alameda County for the next three-year cycle and that will remain in place.
Over the next several months, the City will evaluate whether to become an entitlement City as of
June 2018.
Chair Lockhart asked if HUD requires a three-year agreement.
Ms. Darensburg confirmed that HUD does mandate a three-year agreement.
Ms. Cunningham explained that this will give the City time to study and determine if it makes
sense to become an entitlement City or stay with the County.
Ms. Darensburg explained that one of the big concerns is funding. Currently the City is able to
use approximately 55 percent of its CDBG funding for public services. She explained that as an
entitlement City, that amount would be reduced to 15 percent.
Chair Lockhart asked if contract services for fire and police services are paid out of the General
Fund.
Ms. Cunningham confirmed that public services for fire and police services are primarily paid out
of the General Fund.
Ms. Darensburg clarified that in this case not-for-profit organizations/grant recipients are
referred to as public services.
Ms. Cunningham further explained that public services is a CDBG funding category and
includes the not-for-profit programing.
Ms. Darensburg explained that as an entitlement city, the City is eligible to receive more CDBG
funding, however specific funding categories are capped. She explained that currently CDBG
DRAFT HSC Meeting Minutes, July 24, 2014 Page 9 of 10
public services are funded at $46,000 and as an entitlement city only $18,000-$20,000 could be
used towards public services.
Chair Lockhart stated that the City would receive additional funds in other areas.
Ms. Darensburg agreed that other funds would be received; however the use of those funds is
limited because of stringent requirements, such as providing curb cuts in low income areas.
She further explained that HUD allocates money according to factors including population, age
of housing, low income census tracts, and community income.
Ms. Cunningham explained that HUD estimates the City would receive $155,000 in CDBG
funding with $15,000 to $18,000 available to not-for-profit organizations for program and
operational purposes.
Chair Lockhart asked how the not-for-profit organizations get served by Dublin’s neighboring
cities.
Ms. Darensburg explained that other cities receive more CDBG funding than Dublin and are
also limited in the way they can spend monies received from HUD.
Ms. Cunningham reiterated neighboring cities are capped at 15 percent also; however they
receive more money so the actual dollar figure they are able to allocate to public services is
higher. She also stated that entitlement would require more administrative work and staff time.
She explained that it is Staff’s perception that the HSC and City Council are interested in
retaining the ability to give as much funding as possible directly to not-for-profit programing.
Currently the City gives more than the 15 percent cap because some of the agencies in the
County’s pool do not use their funding for public services. This allows the City of Dublin to
access more funds for public services.
Ms. Darensburg stated that Staff will ask the City Council to reactivate the Ad Hoc CDBG
Subcommittee to re-evaluate the CDBG program. She stated that the grant process is starting
again and post cards will be sent to the grant recipients informing them of the mandatory grant
workshop.
Ms. Cunningham explained that funding for the arts programs has been reviewed by the Parks
and Heritage and Cultural Arts Commissions as suggested by the HSC. In August/September
Staff will present recommendations to the City Council about how to allocate funding to arts in
the future.

HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION
DATE: October 23, 2014
TO: Human Services Commission
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Community Grant Program: Grant Recipient Year-End Reports
Prepared by Amy Cunningham, Assistant to the City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Human Services Commission will be presented with the Fiscal Year 2013-2014
Community Grant Program year-end summary reports submitted by grant recipients.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None.
RECOMMENDATION: Receive Report.
DESCRIPTION:
The City of Dublin Community Grant Program was created by the City Council to provide financial support to local not-
for-profit organizations serving the Dublin community. The program is supported through several funding sources
including the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and the City’s General Fund and Affordable
Housing Fund (as appropriate). Each year, the City Council awards funding to organizations that best meet the
community’s needs in support of the City’s adopted Mission, Vision and Values (see City of Dublin website for more
information: http://www.dublin.ca.gov/index.aspx?nid=72) and the needs identified in the 2011 Tri-Valley Needs
Assessment (link available at: http://www.dublin.ca.gov/index.aspx?NID=1347).
One of the annual funding requirements is the completion of a year-end report. The report summarizes how the City’s
funding was used, what results were achieved, and if the organization met the goals outlined in the initial application
proposal and funding agreement. The attached documents provide a summary of the funding awards for Fiscal Year
2013-2014 (Attachment 1) and the outcomes/impacts each agency achieved as a result of the City’s funding
(Attachment 2). This information is provided to assist the HSC in making future grant funding recommendations to the
City Council.
Prior to the Fiscal Year 2014-2015 grant cycle, a City Council Grants Program Subcommittee provided grant funding
recommendations to the City Council for consideration. That responsibility shifted to the Human Services Commission
(HSC) when it was formed in 2013. All organizations submitted their reports by the deadline. Upon review by staff, the
organizations were deemed to have met their funding obligations for the funding cycle.

How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
Report 5
This program assists low-income residents in accessing medical care through enrollment in public insurance
programs. This improves health outcomes for individuals and the community as a whole. The objective of this
project is to enroll low-income Dublin residents in health care plans that provide them with immediate access to
medical care. Axis's enrollment service is an ongoing program in place at our clinic sites as well as public
libraries. A total 329 low-income Dublin residents received enrollment assistance during the project year, which
represents 109% of the project goal of 300. The number of people seeking care at our clinical sites continues to
grow and we are enrolling nearly 400 people each month at our clinics. Those who come to Axis who do not have
medical insurance meet on a one-on-one basis with an enrollment specialist who provides assistance in enrolling
them in a health plan that is applicable to the individual's circumstances and medical needs. Because most public
plans require the completion of re-enrollment documents at six- and 12-month intervals, our enrollment staff also
provides assistance in maintaining enrollment. As a result of this service, low-income residents have access to
medical care and are able to maintain optimal health.

participants are Dublin residents?

Report 5
Axis's enrollment services reach out to uninsured families to assist them in accessing medical care by enrolling in
publicly-funded health insurance programs. Axis is the sole provider of medical services for low income and
uninsured Dublin residents and the only provider of enrollment assistance in the Tri-Valley. This grant supported
the salary costs of a 0.25 FTE enrollment specialist who assisted a total of 329 Dublin residents in enrolling in
health insurance plans. All project funds were expended in support of this service during this project year.

Report 5
A total of 578 Dublin residents received enrollment services during the project year, of which 329 were enrolled in
a health insurance plan with the support of the City of Dublin Community Grant. The Affordable Care Act began
this year which expanded Medi-Cal and affordable health care coverage for thousands of newly eligible residents
in the Tri-Valley. Axis is a Certified Enrollment Entity (CEE) for Covered CA, and the only Covered CA entity in
the Tri-Valley. Our Enrollment Specialists are trained Covered CA Certified Enrollment Counselors who provide
in-person enrollment assistance to residents seeking health care coverage for health plans through Covered CA.
Our Enrollment Specialists are also trained to assist in Medi-Cal, HealthPAC and all other forms of public
insurance enrollment. Key strategies that have contributed to the success of our enrollment efforts include
outreach and education activities such as interactive presentations, one-on-one meetings, flyers, and
e-newsletters to inform the community about affordable health insurance, and determine appropriate health plans
and subsidy eligibility. As a result of our enrollment services, residents were able to access primary medical care.

Axis enrolled a total of 578 Dublin residents during this project period, of which 329 (109% of the project goal)
received enrollment assistance with the support of the City of Dublin Community Grant. Success was measured
through the evaluation of the number of persons served. We also conduct a comprehensive quality assurance
program on an ongoing basis which tracks patient outcomes. Data demonstrated clinical improvement in patient
outcomes for chronically ill patients, increased mammogram rates for women over the age of forty, increased
immunization rates for children and excellent outcomes for prenatal patients and their newborns. Axis's clinical
data demonstrates that our patient outcomes consistently meet federal health standards.

How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
Report 4
Axis Community Health has outgrown its medical clinic space and must increase facility capacity in order to serve
increasing numbers of patients. This pre-development project enables Axis to pursue the goal of constructing a
new facility that will open in FY 14/15 and service an estimated 7,000 Dublin residents. As the sole provider of
quality, affordable primary care in the Tri-Valley, this project is critical to Axis having the capacity to meet the
rapidly rising numbers of low-income and uninsured Dublin residents and those in surrounding communities. This
project supports the services of a project/finance consultant, architectural design, fundraising consultant, and
legal services which are necessary pre-development tasks leading up to the construction phase.

up-to-date information regarding state, county and federal health reform regulations. We worked with Capital
Incubator to update project timelines and identify project support necessary to each phase. We worked with our
fundraising consultant (Laura McCrea and Associates) and capital campaign committee to begin campaign
activities. These included meeting with potential contributors and holding a donor cultivation event. The project
has been both efficient and effective in that we are on-target for opening the new facility in the anticipated
timeframe which will enable us to meet the rising need for affordable care.

The program continues to benefit from the ongoing support of the agency, the community and the participants
who are actively involved in the program on the whole. The largest barrier is the lack of referral sources for the
program and the limited number of new referrals to the program. This is a ongoing conversation with the county to
open u the width of the referral possibilities for the program. The goal is to serve the communities which are
served by the behavioral health care agency and to support them to make positive changes in their lives within
the scope of wellness and recovery principles.

How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
Report 4
CALICO is the only child advocacy center that aids children abused in Alameda County and the only local
nonprofit partner that works collaboratively with Dublin Police Services (DPS) and Alameda County Department
of Children and Family Services to conduct forensic interviews of young victims. DPS detectives and prosecutors
rely on children’s testimony obtained at CALICO to investigate and prosecute violent crimes against Dublin
children, and child welfare workers and attorneys from Alameda County Counsel use that information to
determine if a child is safe at home or needs to be taken into protective custody. If CALICO services did not exist,
Dublin child-abuse victims would be forced to go back to telling their stories in unsuitable environments by people
insufficiently trained to talk to children, evidence would be lost, and many offenders who victimize children would
not be prosecuted.
CALICO’s partnership increases the safety, health and well-being of Dublin children who have suffered abuse
and children at risk of abuse. Based on the testimony of a child at CALICO, detectives can determine if a crime
was committed and apprehend offenders. With offenders in custody, they can no longer harm the victim-child or
any other child in the home or community. Consequently the security of all Dublin children is increased. In
addition, CALICO’s support services are offered at a critical moment when families are most receptive to
assistance. If this moment is not seized, then families may miss the opportunity to begin the path to healing. In
that case, behavioral and medical health problems may surface later that require substantially more community
assistance and resources long term.

During FY13-14, CALICO also used other funding to provide on-site and follow-up support services to five Dublin
caregivers whose income levels were moderate or above.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the original purpose for which the funds were granted. If applicable,
explain why your agency did not spend the entire grant.
Report 4
The purpose of the Dublin Child Abuse Intervention project was as follows:
(1) To conduct forensic interviews with a total of 10 Dublin children (including 4 funded through the City of Dublin
grants program) who were sexually abused, physically hurt, severely neglected or witnessed a homicide or
severe violence in their home;
(2) To provide on-site and follow-up support services to approximately 8 caregivers of the Dublin children
(including 3 funded through the City of Dublin grants program); and
(3) To facilitate a multi-agency response to child abuse allegations that involves Dublin Police Services, child
protective services, the District Attorney’s Office and other professional partners.
All funds were expended.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the accomplishments of the program funded. Provide detail on how
the program responded to needs within the community. Describe any new and creative methods the agency
implemented to meet community needs.
Report 4
CALICO exceeded our overall goals for the project. We conducted 18 forensic interviews with 15 unduplicated
Dublin children, whereas we projected interviewing 10 victims. In addition, we provided on-site and follow-up
support services to 13 unduplicated caregivers (including 8 low-income caregivers) of the Dublin children
interviewed, whereas we projected providing services to 8 caregivers.
CALICO continues to enhance its services to be more responsive to the children, families and professionals who
rely on us. In FY13-14, we made updates to the Alameda Co. Child Abuse Protocol as recommended by CALICO
and discussed with our Program Advisory Committee. For example, with the guidance of experts on disabilities,
CALICO tailored the Protocol to be more responsive to the needs of child and adult victims with developmental
disabilities. A new section is added on scheduling related interviews including gathering information upfront about
the victim’s diagnosis, communicative abilities and daily routine, whenever possible. In addition, the Protocol now
allows Adult Protective Services to schedule, attend and view forensic interviews related to their clients.
Another significant change for CALICO has been the launch of our prevention education services for families. Our
aim is to educate parents and other adult caregivers of young children (typically pre-K through 3rd grade) about
situations that put children at risk of sexual abuse and about behaviors of adults and older youth that may indicate
the individual intends to sexually offend against a child. This training emphasizes that it is the responsibility of
adults to protect children and that most individuals who offend against children are known and trusted by the
child. With funds from Kaiser, we piloted and began to implement the training and trained 40 School Resource
Officers countywide on how to co-facilitate the training. We also integrated messages from those trainings into
Page 16 of 992013-2014 Community Grants Program

other aspects of our work.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Does the agency feel this program was a success? How do you measure the
success of the program? Did it meet or exceed the goals and outcomes described in the performance measures
in the original application? If not, wh
Report 4
CALICO feels the program was a success. We carefully tracked demographic and outcome data using a robust
Microsoft Access database. As noted in Q8 above, CALICO exceeded nearly all of the goals and outcomes on
this project. The one area in which the specific outcome was not met was the percentage of children enrolled in
counseling at the time caregivers were contacted for a follow up call. While the percentage enrolled in counseling
is unusually low, when examining the details of each child’s case, it appears that appropriate interventions
occurred in all situations.
Of the 12 Dublin children whose caregivers reported they were not in counseling or on a waiting list, nine were
determined by CALICO staff not to need counseling. That figure is higher than usual, but in those cases, the child
was either unlikely to have been abused, s/he was solicited online (but no physical contact made) and the
situation did not warrant a clinical intervention, or there was appropriate support in other ways given the nature of
the allegation. In addition, one child’s caregiver was in counseling, which is often an important first step toward
healing for the whole family – a caregiver needs to receive appropriate clinical support in order to offer full and
appropriate support to his/her child.
The three remaining children comprise one family. In that case, the family was in crisis at CALICO, dealing with
domestic violence and other emergency issues. The CALICO Family Resource Specialist (FRS) followed up 5
times by phone and met with the family twice in-person to help the mother deal with urgent concerns to help
stabilize the family. The case was discussed in-depth at CALICO case review, and a child welfare worker (CWW)
from Alameda County Children and Family Services was providing ongoing support; referrals to Tri-Valley Haven
were provided. The FRS has left a message with the CWW to get an update of the case.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe any problems/delays encountered with the project. How were they
handled? What effects were there on project costs? Describe any changes that made the project successful or
will make it successful in future yea
Report 4
We did not encounter any problems or delays with the project. However, we do have two staff – one interviewer
and one Family Resource Specialist (FRS) – out on family leave for four months. In the meantime, we were able
to hire a temporary FRS to fill in – Mercedes Aguirre Sullivan, MSW. In addition, we expanded our interviewing
team and added a sixth part-time interviewer, Holly Fleming. This addition was essential, as CALICO’s
interviewing services have grown significantly in the past year. We conducted 775 interviews countywide in
calendar year 2013, which is 10% higher than any year prior in our 17-year existence.
CALICO’s Program Advisory Committee discussed one policy concern this reporting period that could, depending
on the resolution, require more attention to ensure that CALICO and our multi-disciplinary team are able to use
the CALICO DVDs fully to minimize the times child abuse victims need to testify in dependency hearings. In a
recent appeal of a dependency case, the appellate court issued an order mandating that Alameda County
Counsel’s Office create a transcript of a CALICO DVD that the office entered into evidence. Prior to this ruling,
County Counsel had not been required to produce a transcript in these situations. Due to the time necessary and
costs involved preparing transcripts, this ruling could have an impact on County Counsel’s ability to use CALICO
DVDs in dependency hearings. If the DVD is not introduced, that could mean more children having to testify.
However, there exists an option for judges to offer a good cause exception, in which case the Office of the County
Counsel would not have to prepare the transcript; the office is requesting such a ruling when CALICO DVDs are
introduced. The issue is not yet resolved.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: List agencies you collaborated with on this project. Describe the nature of the
collaboration.
Report 4
CALICO collaborated with multiple agencies on this project, as follows:
Detectives from Dublin Police Services (DPS) were the primary source of referrals of Dublin children. They also
observed interviews and participated in monthly case review meetings. Sgt. Rafael Alvarez is the DPS
representative on CALICO’s Program Advisory Committee (PAC).
Child Welfare Workers from Alameda County Children and Family Services (CFS) also referred Dublin children to
Page 17 of 992013-2014 Community Grants Program

CALICO, observed interviews, and participated in case review. The CFS Program Manager who oversees the
Emergency Response Unit (ERU) serves on PAC and an ERU Supervisor serves on Case Review.
Briggitte Lowe is the on-site District Attorney Liaison from the District Attorney’s Office. She observes interviews,
consults with other DAs, facilitates case review, serves on PAC, and co-facilitates trainings with CALICO’s
Training Coordinator
Staff from Children’s and Highland Hospital conducted forensic medical examinations of Dublin children and
adolescents interviewed at CALICO, and children and families were referred to Children’s Hospital Center for
Child Protection for mental health services. Representatives from both agencies participate in case review and
PAC.
Other agency partners include the following Alameda County Departments: Probation, Behavioral Health Care,
and County Counsel. Representatives from Probation and Behavioral Health Care participate in monthly case
review meetings, and all three agencies are represented on PAC.
CALICO’s Family Resource Specialists also make referrals to a range of community-based organizations in the
tri-valley area (e.g., Horizon’s, Tri-Valley Haven) and other organizations that serve all of Alameda County.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Did you obtain other funding sources for this particular project? If so, list
sources and amounts.
Report 4
CALICO was able to fully fund the Dublin Child Abuse Intervention Project in FY13-14, as described below.
$3,750 was received from Dublin Police Services
A FY13-14 contract in the amount of $71,400 for countywide services was received from Alameda County Social
Services Agency, Department of Children and Family Services (Child Abuse Trust Fund); a portion of those funds
(approximately 2%) were applied to services for Dublin families
A two-year contract (FY13-15) in the amount of $119,000 was received from Alameda County First 5; a portion of
the year 1 funds (approximately 2% of half of the contract amount) was used to support services to Dublin
caregivers with children under five years of age in the household
Approximately $1,500 out of the total generated through CALICO’s participation in the Oakland Running Festival
and general operating donations received in FY13-14 from individual donors was used to support Dublin families
The salary and benefits of a full-time Executive Director were also provided in-kind through the District Attorney’s
Office. The office also assigns a full-time District Attorney Liaison to CALICO.

How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
Report 5
As previous unemployment rates indicated in previous Labor Market Information (LMI) reporting nadir in 2010 at
7%, and though subsequent improvement has occurred, at just below 6% during the first seven months of 2012
and continuing to improve during the 2013 and first two quarters of 2014, the community continues to suffer in
this area as the economy struggles toward recovery. Project Dublin provides coordinated services between Las
Positas College and the Tri-Valley One-Stop Career Center that combine to offer Dublin residents who are
unemployed or underemployed opportunities to improve their economic situations, and does so with a depth and
breadth unavailable through any other combined community resource. At the College, for an affordable cost (or,
for those financially challenged, at no cost), residents can take day, evening, and weekend classes to enhance
their marketability. At the One-Stop Career Center, they can connect with available job announcements,
employers recruiting on-site for new employees, self-directed resources including books, DVDs, and Internet use
for employment searching, career counselors and job developers with whom to consult on career-path choices,
workshops teaching effective re-employment skills, and federal programs that can finance vocational certification
and licensure programs aimed at adding skill sets to make residents more competitive in this challenging job
market. The Project also provides regular job search workshops, resume reviews, and career counseling at the
Dublin Library to make these services even more conveniently accessible to Dublin residents. In short, Project
Dublin likely represents the single most comprehensive provider of services to residents currently unemployed, or
in need of better employment, available to the City during these continuing economically challenging times.

The goals outlined in the application were met in the last year, and we expect to meet them once again in the
coming year should the Project be re-approved. The Project has annually served the City of Dublin effectively for
several years running. Due to the longevity and experience of the Project leadership and key staff, its efficiency
has never been better, despite difficult economic conditions that make seeking and realizing re-employment for
those in need highly challenging in such a competitive area market. Though Las Positas College suffered
budgetary difficulties, we served a higher number of Dublin residents in the recent fiscal year than previously. The
$10,000.00 contribution received from the City was applied directly to Dublin residents seeking re-training in
federal programs specifically designed to enhance their employability, and to those Dublin residents already
deemed employment-ready in resume reviews, counseling sessions, and weekly workshops specifically designed
to teach effective work search strategies. Dublin residents were successfully tracked via a new Virtual One-Stop
(VOS) tracking software system to provide even more accurate records of participation. More participants took
part in the workshops and resume review/counseling sessions offered regularly at the Dublin Library than at any
time in the past. Those participating in specific training programs designed to enhance individual skill sets to
upgrade marketability were tracked carefully through certificate or licensure attainment and subsequent return to
the workforce. Documentation/data/records to support the above have been submitted in supplemental portions

The original purpose of the grant was to provide workforce development activities to Dublin citizens categorically
classified as job seekers, laid off workers/displaced workers, youth, new entrants to the workforce, veterans,
persons with disabilities, ex-offenders and services for employers. We spent the entire grant.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the accomplishments of the program funded. Provide detail on how
the program responded to needs within the community. Describe any new and creative methods the agency
implemented to meet community needs.
Report 5
The project has been a success for several years and the present year is not the exception.
As previously mentioned, the $10,000.00 contribution from the City was applied directly to Dublin residents
seeking re-training in federal programs specifically designed to enhance their employability, and to those Dublin
residents already deemed employment-ready in resume reviews, counseling sessions, and weekly workshops
specifically designed to teach effective work search strategies. Furthermore, there was an increase of participants
taken part in the workshops and resume review/counseling sessions offered regularly at the Dublin Library than at
any time in the past.
In regards to the needs of the community, as previously mentioned the community continues to suffer in as the
economy struggles toward recovery. Project Dublin provided coordinated services offering Dublin residents who
were unemployed or underemployed opportunities to improve their economic situations.
In regards to attempting creative methods, our agency has coordinated workshops at the Federal Correction
Institution in Dublin and continues to provide resume and interviewing skills workshops as well as participating in
mock job fairs.

How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
Report 5
Parents were invited to attend training on various child development training topics including communication,
brain development, challenging behavior and behavioral expectations. Developing parenting skills and increasing
effective communication between parents and children fostered positive relationships and healthier families.
Family home child care and center based providers received free professional development and training
opportunities that allowed them to create and maintain quality early childhood programs. Offering free trainings
and resources eased the economic burden of paying for professional growth development at institutions of higher
education.
The Annual Rate Survey provided Dublin residents with information about the supply, demand and average
program fees for child care services. The survey provided parents with information about the availability of child
care and average child care program fees in their surrounding neighborhood. The survey also helped child care
providers determine gaps in service and average child care program fees in their surrounding neighborhoods.
Let’s Move, “Move It”, provided opportunities for residents to participate in group and individual games and
exercises that highlighted the importance of good nutrition in building a healthy lifestyle. Activities were designed
to encourage an hour of physical activity every day.
Residents were provided with an opportunity to ensure their child restraint (car seat) was properly installed and
that their child fit into the restraint appropriately. Parents were unclear about when to switch a young child from
rear to forward facing and how long school-age children need to remain in a booster seat. Motor vehicle crashes
are the leading cause of death for children ages 1-12 years. Clearing up misunderstandings about the installation
and proper use of child restraints increased the health and well-being of Dublin’s youngest residents.

Child Care Links served a total of 235 unduplicated Dublin residents through technical assistance, professional
development, training opportunities, car seat checks, Let's Move "Move it" activities and the 14th Annual Tri-
Valley Preschool Fair. The City of Dublin also received the Annual Child Care Rate Survey. The survey
documented child care supply, demand and average program fees in the City of Dublin.
Child Care Links served an estimated 470+ duplicated Dublin residents through other agency-wide funded
programs such as subsidized child care programs, child care referrals, Community Care Licensing Orientations
and local community events.
The Early Childhood Education Grant served a total of 578 program participants from Dublin, Livermore,
Pleasanton and Sunol.
Child Care Links is very appreciative of the 2013-2014 grant monies that helped make this project a success.
Thank you.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the original purpose for which the funds were granted. If applicable,
explain why your agency did not spend the entire grant.
Report 5
All Dublin grant funds were expended during this reporting period to provide these originally proposed services:
• Provide trainings and technical assistance to family child care providers, center based staff and parents of the
Tri-Valley community. Topics included child development, business practices, health and safety and serving
children with special needs.
• Implement car seat safety checks, allowing the community to have their child’s car seat inspected by a trained
technician
• Implement “Move It” curriculum including facilitated exercise. Staff will visit children and providers at their child
care sites to educate on the importance of health, nutrition and how to effectively foster environments to support
healthy choices for children.
• Produce the 14th annual Tri-Valley Preschool Fair in spring 2014. This event presented an opportunity for
parents to visit and meet with a variety of Preschool programs in the Tri-Valley in one central location. The variety
of programs available helped parents choose the best program for their child.
• Produce an Annual Child Care Rate Survey for the City of Dublin, and document any changes in child care
supply and demand; this will aid the city in planning for the community’s child care needs.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the accomplishments of the program funded. Provide detail on how
the program responded to needs within the community. Describe any new and creative methods the agency
implemented to meet community needs.
Report 5
A total of 24 trainings were implemented between July 2013 and June 2014. Child Care Links surveyed parents,
family home child care and center based providers throughout the program year to receive feedback regarding
un-met training needs in the Tri-Valley Area. Topics included effective communication, nutrition, business
practices, behavior expectation and management and communication.
Twenty three Dublin families participated in car seat checks. According to the Alameda County Public Health
Department, over 95% of all car seats are installed improperly. These car seat checks increased the health and
safety of Dublin’s most vulnerable citizens.
Eight Let's Move "Move It" activities were offered on-site at Child Care Links and at child care programs as
requested. Parents, children and child care providers participated in these activities. 53 Dublin residents learned
about the importance of daily water intake, sun safety, choosing quality foods and portion control. They also
participated in group and individual games and exercises designed to encourage an hour of physical activity
every day.
The Tri-Valley Preschool Fair took place in February 2014 at the Dublin Senior Center. Parents met with a variety
of Preschool programs in the Tri-Valley, in one central location, and learned about the different options available.
Child care programs who participated in the Preschool Fair had the opportunity to speak with many families, learn
more about what families are looking for in care and other child care services being offered in the Tri-Valley area.
To be competitive, providers need to be aware of the rates being charged in their service area, however, state
and federal laws limited child care providers from discussing their rates (price fixing). The Annual Rate Survey

The 2013-2014 Early Childhood Education grant was a success. Examples include:
• Child Care Links exceeded its participant goals for the program year
• Child Care Links exceeded the number of unduplicated residents who attended training in 2012-2013
• Early Childhood Education Grant activities aligned with the City of Dublin’s mission to “support a high quality of
life which ensures a safe and secure environment that fosters new opportunities for children”
• Dublin residents reported limited opportunities to schedule car seat checks with AAA or the local CHP offices
due to congested schedules and staffing shortages. Residents would have had to travel outside of the area if
Child Care Links did not provide car seat checks.
• Child Care providers networking at the 2014 Preschool Fair arranged to refer families to each other’s program.
Short and simple networking opportunities like these can be quite impactful to the long term success of small
business in the City of Dublin.
• Identifying and maintaining quality child care programs helps Dublin residents maintain employment. When
residents maintain stable employment, due to reliable and quality child care, they are able to financially contribute
to the City of Dublin’s economy.

bi-monthly breakfasts; Easter Seals Kaleidoscope through monthly cleaning service not covered in their budget;
Camp Parks through Welcome bags for newly arriving military families, connecting chaplain Noble to the Dublin
Pride committee, and providing desserts at the Christmas dinner; community awareness of faith based programs
such as Divorce Care, Grief Ministry, JobLink, budgeting/financial training, and respite care for the special needs
community. We compiled a comprehensive list of all food pantries, the only list that includes both church and non-
profit resources. We teamed with Dublin Rotary to provide assistance to needy Dublin families at Christmas as
identified by Dublin School District staff and responded to individual family needs, such as bus tickets,
mattresses, household goods and transportation. We expanded the scope of the monthly CityServe newsletter
and launched the CityServe Youth newsletter. We futher expanded the CityServe website to be a more
comprehensive list of resources, focused specifically on the Tri-Valley. Our CityServe community meetings are a
place where representatives from non-profits, churches, government agencies, and school districts come together
to collaborate and learn about solutions to human service needs. Meetings also build alliances and provide a
forum for the sharing of common needs leading to solutions. Under CityServe leadership, nine Tri-Valley
churches plus the chaplains from Camp Parks provided an affordable 4 day camp experience (City Blast) for 194
children ages 6-12 at Emerald Glen Park. And CityServe presented the 1st Annual Tri-Valley Prayer Breakfast

6. How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
Dublin Grant funds were used to help support the costs of providing the Tri-Valley branch office's Housing & IL
Program services and training administered by CRIL's Tri-Valley Service Coordinator. Funds primarily covered 15% of
the salary and benefits of the Service Coordinator, with a small amount for shared indirect costs associated with
necessary program and office operations (e.g., telephone, supplies, insurance, etc.). Thus the Dublin Community
Grant funds now more than ever support maintaining CRIL's local presence in the Tri-Valley.
CRIL is the only Tri-Valley full-service provider for persons with disabilities. This past year CRIL added two new
services: Travel Training and the Community Leadership Academy.

8. Please evaluate the success of your PROJECT/PROGRAM. Were the goals outlined in the application met?

Yes, CRIL exceeded our targeted goal for the 2013-2014 by 200% (18 as opposed to 6 consumers served). We
continue to be a full-service disability office. Our mission is to provide advocacy and resources for people with
disabilities to improve lives and make communities fully accessible. This FY 2013-14, CRIL added two new programs:
Travel Training and the Community Leadership Academy and began to once again provide services for WIPA.
Each consumer who seeks CRIL services works with a service coordinator to develop an Independent Living Plan
(ILP) with goals and activities to achieve their overall objective. Dublin consumers with disabilities set 20 goals last
year and met 2 (10%) of them. Please note that 40% of CRIL's new consumers set housing goals. These housing
goals are longer term, such as locating affordable, accessible housing, achieving economic self-sufficiency or
acquiring disability benefits. Longer-term goals often take more than one year to complete

21. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the original purpose for which the funds were granted. If
applicable, explain why your agency did not spend the entire grant.
CRIL’s funding request was to provide Independent Living (IL) and Housing Services to low- and very low-income
Pleasanton residents with disabilities and seniors with functional limitations.
CRIL's Housing & IL Program promotes and supports a high quality of life and ensures a safe, diverse and
economically balanced community within the City by providing support services and direct intervention to help low
income people with disabilities who are at risk of losing their housing maintain it, and those who need to secure
affordable housing obtain it. Since the City values a strong, open and responsive government that addresses the
needs of all residents and businesses, CRIL's Housing & IL Program supports meeting this goal by the City investing
in a community service that reaches out to its most vulnerable and growing population of older seniors with disabling
conditions as well as very low income residents of all ages with disabilities.
Lastly, the City strives to ensure aesthetic downtown appeal, environmental sustainability and provide public access.
CRIL encourages new low-income senior, disability or multi-family housing that is developed in Dublin, and CRIL
supports Dublin's lower income residents in understanding themselves as a welcomed and valued part of the
community. Additionally, an integrated, multifaceted and ethnically diverse population allows for a more vibrant,
dynamic and innovative city, one which values creating a quality life for each resident and neighborhood.
22. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the accomplishments of the program funded. Provide detail on
how the program responded to needs within the community. Describe any new and creative methods the
agency implemented to meet community needs.
In January of 2014, CRIL hired a new full-time Independent Living/Travel Training Coordinator for the Tri-Valley
Office. CRIL now has 1.7FTE at the Tri-Valley Office. This past year, CRIL added a new Travel Training Program, as
well as, a Community Leadership Academy which encourages and supports leadership development among our
consumers. The additional staff and new programs have added to CRIL's effectiveness in the Tri-Valley.
18 Dublin residents with disabilities were provided direct housing assistance or independent living services during the
2013-14 year. Independent Living Services included: Benefits counseling, Advocacy, Assistive Technology services
and AT device loans, IL Skills training, Peer counseling, Personal Assistance Services, Employment services, ADA
assistance, and Information & Referra, Travel Teaining and Leadership Development.
Seven (4) or 39% of the 18 Dublin consumers who were provided with 1:1 assistance chose Housing as their primary
or secondary goal. Finding affordable and, often accessible, housing frequently takes more than one year. CRIL
continues to work with these 7 housing consumers to meet their long-range goal of moving into permanent, low-cost
housing. CRIL service coordinators continue to work with the consumers who have ongoing goals that have yet to be
met.
CRIL also transported 50 consumers, some of whom live in Dublin, to the 2014 Disability Capitol Action Day in
Sacramento. This annual event attracts 2,000 people with disabilities from all over California, and offers both a
celebratory disability pride experience as well as an opportunity to meet with state legislators to discuss issues of
importance to members of the disability community.
23. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Does the agency feel this program was a success? How do you measure
the success of the program? Did it meet or exceed the goals and outcomes described in the performance
measures in the original application? If not, wh
CRIL exceeded our goal of 6 unduplicated Dublin consumers by 12. CRIL has noticed an increase in the number of
consumers county-wide who have multiple service needs and require additional assistance in meeting their goals.
Those requesting multiple or long-range services have increased; therefore, our duplicated consumer numbers are
also up.
CRIL’s consumers are empowered to self-assess their success in meeting their individual goals through creating an
Independent Living Plan. 100% of Dublin consumers created an ILP and a set goals in such areas as Self-Advocacy,
Housing, Vocational, Healthcare access and Assistive Technology. Two met their long-term Housing goal - a
tremendous accomplishment especially since long-term housing goals often take two or more years to meet due to
the lack of enough affordable, accessible housing for extremely low-income residents. CRIL’s Service Coordinators
will continue to work with these consumers during the 2014-15 year in assisting them with meeting their independent
living goals.
24. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe any problems/delays encountered with the project. How were
they handled? What effects were there on project costs? Describe any changes that made the project
successful or will make it successful in future yea
In January of 2014, CRIL hired a new full-time Independent Living/Travel Training Coordinator for the Tri-Valley
Office. CRIL now has 1.7FTE at the Tri-Valley Office. This past year, CRIL added a new Travel Training Program, as
well as, a Community Leadership Academy which encourages and supports leadership development among our
consumers. The additional staff and new programs have added to CRIL's effectiveness in the Tri-Valley.
The difficulty in finding affordable and accessible housing in the Tri-Valley (and the entire Bay Area) poses a
tremendous challenge to persons with disabilities and seniors with functional limitations. An increase in funding will
help CRIL in assisting our consumers who seek to lead full and independent lives.
25. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: List agencies you collaborated with on this project. Describe the nature
of the collaboration.
CRIL collaborates with a number of agencies in the Tri-Valley. We are located in a multi-service center which helps
provide comprehensive & rapid service delivery.

8. Please evaluate the success of your PROJECT/PROGRAM. Were the goals outlined in the application

These operational grant funds were used to keep our office open each day from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm, Monday
through Friday, year-around. The grant helps maintain three (3) regular, part-time employees who fund raise, create
and administer programs for students throughout the school district, create partnerships between the business and
educational community, and represent the education foundation with the business community in Dublin and the Tri-
Valley region. It is also used to help keep our office equipment and supplies in working order. Also, since beginning
our Enrichment Academy in 2011, DPIE pays monthly rent and utilities for our office space so as to solidify our
status as an independent, private organization. Efficiently operating a private Enrichment Academy also requires
specialized computer programs, which are very expensive. Running our office independently requires the support of
our community to remain operational. Although our Academy grew by 50% in 2013, because we had not received
our WASC-accreditation status prior to last summer's Academy, our enrollment was lower than anticipated. Since
then, we have obtained our status as an accredited Academy. This year, DPIE created a part-time position of
Enrichment Academy Superintendent to focus solely on the planning and administration of our newly WASC-
accredited program so that it can grow and earn funds at a much quicker pace.

measure the success of the program? Did it meet or exceed the goals and outcomes described in the
performance measures in the original application? If not, wh
Our annual goals are based on our Four Pillars of Service.
1. Career Exploration for Students - Signature program is Professional Pathways which includes Career Days at
Middle and High schools, as well as Health and Trade Classes along with Inside Dublin at Valley High.
2. Arts Education: Signature Program - After school Art program at the Middle Schools, Guest Artist classroom
visits, Art Supply Donations, and Common- Core Arts Integration Certification for Two Teachers at each elementary
school.
3. Resources for Educators: Signature Program- New Teacher Welcome Grants, as well as local business in-kind
donations and subject expert speakers for classrooms
4. Educational Support: Signature Program - STEM-based, WASC-accredited Summer Enrichment Academy, which
provides for -credit enrichment and advanced math and science classes for high school students, as well as
enrichment classes for middle school students. We also collect and disburse school supplies for low income
families.
Our strategies for tracking program success are evaluation of money spent, surveys and progress counted through
the administration of the programs by DPIE's Governance Committee.
We define success in our programs by typical school measurements such as State Testing Scores and the support
we develop in the business community to not only fund our programs but to provide hands-on service in our
classrooms. As evidenced by the increase in state testing scores at all levels of education in Dublin, we feel that our
programs have produced direct support to improvement at our schools. Both our collaborations with the business
community and our volunteer force have increased. With the growth of the Dublin Unified School District to exceed
9000 students this coming school year, we know that DPIE will be able to assist the District when we are asked and
able.
24. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe any problems/delays encountered with the project. How were
they handled? What effects were there on project costs? Describe any changes that made the project
successful or will make it successful in future yea
DPIE had to move their offices again this year - to Wells Middle School. The move did not effect any of our
efficiency in completing our mission and our core goals but as with any move extra expenses arise.
With the growth of Dublin and the Tri-Valley we have experienced many new possible alliances and opportunities to
better serve the Dublin Unified School District and the program that they are unable to fund.. A few of these include
the beginning stages of the GearUp Workforce program at Valley High, the Wente Arts Foundation regional
collaboration for the Arts, the Dublin Walk for Education and the StopWaste initiative.
25. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: List agencies you collaborated with on this project. Describe the
nature of the collaboration.
High Parent Faculty and Student organization. Most recently, the DPIE Board took action that would allow staff to
partner with the middle school PFCs for their assistance in marketing our afterschool art classes in order to fill them
to capacity. As a result of this partnership, DPIE will donate to them all proceeds from the class registration fees.
While maintaining our separate organizations, our goal is to support the needs of each of these groups, as well as
the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and various other businesses in our community and the surrounding area.
Specifically, we work with the Administration office of City government on preparing opportunities for the City to
share with students with the Inside Dublin program, which educates students on the various local government
career opportunities and pathways. The Fire Department and Police Services departments are both valuable
partners with DPIE and provide ongoing educational programs for our students and the community. We also partner
with other non-profit organizations such as School of Imagination, who have loaned us their bus for field trips for
DUSD students. This year, DPIE promoted the City's holiday "Shop Dublin" campaign through our Facebook page.
Another non-profit we partner with is the Tri- Valley Non-Profit Alliance. We hope to hope to further expand and
strengthen a partnership with the City of Dublin regarding their "Shop Dublin" campaign through promotions on our
website, newsletter and Facebook page. We are currently in the process of developing and promoting On the
Border, Barons and Jersey Mikes. This partnership which will not only benefit DPIE's business sector stakeholders,
but our city and residents, as a whole. We also partner with the Dublin Rotary for the Dictionary project.
26. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Did you obtain other funding sources for this particular project? If so,
list sources and amounts.
DPIE is able to request funding from a variety of businesses to support our extensive and critically needed
programs, but no funding to stay in operation. We have to pay for rent, insurance, supplies, and the general cost of
doing business so that we can obtain funding to complete our programs. This Grant has allowed us to use
fundraising dollars to meet the needs of the community.

How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
Report 5
Yes our program has addressed the community need to improve the quality of life for Dublin residents. During this
reporting period the participants from all three of our groups, (Community Integration, Teen and Youth Groups)
have volunteered their time in community clean ups, social skills, life skills and recreation/leisure activities. The
Lead Teachers of these groups work with the parents and schools to establish goals, then create calendars to
work on said goals. Within this reporting period, Easter Seals Kaleidoscope hosted an Art & Sound Festival at
Kaleidoscope in which every participant entered a piece of art work to be on display and also had given their input
on what they would like to have as an outcome of the event. The participants from all groups, created flyers and
walked the surrounding neighborhoods to hand out invites door to door.

Goals outlined within this application have been met. Our participants have been working on the volunteering,
social skills, and life skills. Kaleidoscope has created an environment that is all inclusive for every student that

helping them learn life skills that will be necessary beyond the influences of Kaleidoscope. We have also created
an environment where our students with disabilities have learned to trust and rely on one another, deep
friendships have been built between students, and we have seen an increased awareness in community
involvement. More and more, our students have come to own a part of Kaleidoscope, have become more
involved in planning and implementing activities, and have gained a valuable sense of accomplishment working
with their fellow friends.

Dublin Grant funds will help to support the salaries of our three (3) Lead Teachers. Lead Teachers are
responsible for creating curriculum for each of our groups, youth, teen, and community integration altogether
serving 31 students. 5 of which are Dublin residents. Lead Teachers help to improve the experiences of all our
students enrolled at Kaleidoscope.
Support of these staffing costs is even more critical as the Kaleidoscope program continues to grow as the
strongest behavioral program in Alameda County. As a result of continually high success rate of our program, the
Regional Center of the East Bay is referring high numbers of youth who require Intensive Behavioral and Social
Skills (IBSS) training at a 1:1 student/teacher ratio. While youth requiring 1:1 ratio are the most resource intensive
students we serve, the growth and development outcomes for these students are the most impressive. Almost all
of these students who exit the program require only a 1:3 or 1:5 ratio. This means that youth are now able to be
contributing members of their families and communities.

How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
Report 5
The quality of life for Dublin residents is improved by providing 24 hours a day, seven days a week access to
2-1-1 Alameda County, providing a full range of information related to personal and economic self-sufficiency.
2-1-1 was available to all Dublin residents and employees in multiple languages by either dialing the three-digit
number, or 1 (888) 886-9660. 2-1-1 Resources Specialists conducted in-depth assessments with callers to
determine the full breadth of their circumstances and to gauge their personal skills and strengths. Once that was
determined, Resource Specialists utilized complex relational databases to locate services and/or housing that is
most appropriate for the caller’s needs.
Through Eden I&R’s ongoing partnerships with the Office of Emergency Services, Red Cross, and other local
public and nonprofit responders, 2-1-1 was prepared to respond if local disasters occurred.

Report 5
Eden I&R/2-1-1 Alameda County was granted these funds to continue operating the free, easily accessible,
multilingual phone service 24/7, specifically with the goal to assist 500 Dublin callers. The agency expended the
full grant. It is not possible to discern whether all callers are repeat or new because callers often are rushed and
only share their city of residency and don't provide additional identifying information. Though 180 unduplicated
Dublin callers were served in FY14, the agency has no way of knowing how many of the 283 "general" calls
handled from Dublin were unduplicated.
The agency's online resource directory was heavily used throughout the year, receiving 1542,326 hits from
159,963 visitors, which represents a more than 30% increase over FY 2013.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the accomplishments of the program funded. Provide detail on how
the program responded to needs within the community. Describe any new and creative methods the agency
implemented to meet community needs.
Report 5
-Fiscal Year 2014, 2-1-1 Resource Specialists handled 104,070 calls and these callers were provided 162,027
health, housing and human service referrals.
-All 14 cities are once again financially supporting 2-1-1. We welcomed back the three cities that, due to
economic hardships in the past, were unable to sustain 2-1-1 funding. With the beginning of government
departments rebounding from the worst of the recession, and the acknowledgement that 2-1-1 has sustained and
grown over the past few years, we are grateful and proud that all Alameda County cities understand and support
2-1-1’s role in the fragile health, housing, and human services safety net.
-Eden I&R continued its partnership with 2-1-1 San Diego to conduct outreach to eligible individuals and families
about the CalFresh food assistance program. For the second year in a row, 2-1-1 Alameda County Phone
Resource Specialists significantly increased their proactive outreach to callers about the CalFresh program.
Outreach/pre-screenings occurred in 12,229 calls to 2-1-1 during FY 2014, a 70% increase over the previous
fiscal year! This partnership is a great example of how 2-1-1 Resource Specialists are trained to conduct a
comprehensive assessment with callers whenever possible. Based on the information provided, the caller
receives referrals to critical programs they may not have been aware of, such as CalFresh.
-2-1-1 again provided referrals to a number of resources throughout the county for holiday food baskets and toys
for needy families. 2-1-1 handled 775 calls requesting information about holiday programs and provided 1,054
referrals.
-During tax season, once again Eden I&R provided assistance for low-income people and those on active military
duty. 2-1-1 Resource Specialists pre-screened and referred 774 callers eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit.

We made a concerted and sustained effort to increase outreach in the Tri-Valley in FY 2014. However, with only
one dedicated Development/Marketing Officer, it posed a challenge. Eden I&R is considering ways to expand our
volunteer presence in the Tri-Valley communities so that more contacts can be made and number of clients and
call volume can be sustained. While call volume was lower this year, 2-1-1 met or exceeded all other outcomes

set forth in the grant application (see question 22). As it has the last several years, 2-1-1 handled more than
100,000 calls (104,070). These callers were provided 162,027 health, housing and human service referrals. At
the conclusion of each call to 2-1-1, callers are asked two questions: "Is this information better than what you've
gotten elsewhere?" and "Have you received enough information to help you with your search?" 99% of callers
indicated in the affirmative to both questions in FY 2014. Other methods used to evaluate the program include
messages left on the anonymous caller feedback line; analysis of various quantitative and qualitative data; and
follow-up calls placed to a select number of 2-1-1 callers within a couple of weeks of their original call to assess
their customer service experience and the impact the referrals they were provided had.

The biggest challenge that continues to face Eden I&R/2-1-1 Alameda County is funding. Despite the high
number of calls handled by 2-1-1, we still miss nearly 1,000 calls a month simply because we cannot afford to
hire enough staff to field them all. The Marketing/Development Officer and other management staff are constantly
working to try and increase our funding stream from diverse sources.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: List agencies you collaborated with on this project. Describe the nature of the
collaboration.
Report 5
Eden I&R collaborates with various community agencies and organizations, as well as government departments,
on a number of programs designed to empower vulnerable populations and increase economic achievement.
In addition, the agency maintains longstanding partnerships with approximately 2,850 property owners/managers
and over 1,000 agencies to maintain its databases. For example, the agency is one of nine Bay Area 2-1-1s
partnering to develop mutual support systems and data sharing agreements; is an active member/participant of
emergency preparedness and planning groups with the County's Office of Emergency Services and the Public
Health Department, among others; staff participates in the Tri-Valley Scholarship meetings; is involved in
Everyone Home Ending Homelessness in Alameda County; and was a member of the East County's Needs
Assessment Steering Committee. Specific collaborations in the Tri-Valley include a partnership with CityServe
whose volunteers conduct 2-1-1 outreach; Tri-Valley One Stop Career Centers; Rental Housing Association; and
Dublin, Livermore & Pleasanton Libraries and Senior Centers.

Dublin residents?
The Grief Support Center offers high quality grief counseling provided by trained professionals for children, teens and
adults. These services include telephone guidance and when needed, referrals to professionals in the community. The
services offered by the Center are individual and group counseling, educational classes and an annual memorial
service to assist grieving people to heal the pain of their grief after the death of a loved one. This program provides
compassionate and expert grief counseling not only for the family members of Hope Hospice patients but also for
members of the community, including counseling for people whose loved one died suddenly or tragically or has
experienced the death of a companion animal. Hope Hospice is the only non-denominational, non-profit organization
in Dublin that offers a comprehensive grief support program for the community.

21. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the original purpose for which the funds were granted. If

The funds granted through the City of Dublin were used specifically to pay wages for Grief Support Center staff. Our
highly trained and experienced grief support providers are key to our ability to offer the quality and variety of grief
support services we provide to our complex and diverse community. The services offered through the Grief Support
Center require many hours of planning, preparation, participation and follow up, regardless of the number of clients
who benefit from the scheduled activity. The services include one-on-one grief support sessions, unique group
sessions designed specifically for adults and children, community-based seminars and workshops on grief-related
topics, and a library of resource material. A drop-in Pet Loss Support Group was established in 2012. It is our privilege
to make these services available at no cost to our hospice families and to members of the Dublin community who
have experienced the loss of a love one for any reason.
22. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the accomplishments of the program funded. Provide detail on
how the program responded to needs within the community. Describe any new and creative methods the
agency implemented to meet community needs.
The Hope Hospice Grief Support Center is well known in the community for providing services to people whose loved
one died as a hospice or hospital patient or died accidentally, tragically and/or by suicide. Many medical and mental
health professionals are aware of the services we provide for the community and refer their patients and clients to us.
The Grief Support Center is also contacted by various organizations in the community to provide educational
programs about grief and coping strategies.
Grief may manifest mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. In mid-2013, the Grief Support Center staff
developed a program called "Stress Reduction: A Path to Peace." This program includes a 2-hour class about how to
use the breath to decrease stress and 1/2-hour individual Healing Touch sessions with a master Healing Touch
practitioner. This service is offered once a quarter. The Grief Support Providers are also using expressive art to help
people process their grief and it is facilitated by a Certified Art Therapist.

There were no problems or delays encountered with the project.
25. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: List agencies you collaborated with on this project. Describe the nature
of the collaboration.
For the past two years, the Grief Support Center collaborated with The City of Dublin to host the Hope Hospice Annual
Service of Remembrance in the Library Community Room. This space provided a sanctuary for our clients to honor
and remember their loved ones and reconnect with Hope Hospice clinical staff. This service consists of inspirational
poetry, music, candle-lighting and supportive interaction between the staff and participants over refreshments.
We also collaborated with the Valley Humane Society to launch our Pet Loss support group. VHS has been very
supportive by referring grieving pet owners to this group.
The Animal Rescue Foundation provides our children's grief groups with volunteer therapy dogs to provide a calming
presence and comfort for the children. In addition, the Art For Life organization brings volunteers, ceramic objects and
paint to the last children's grief group to support the children and their parents in the creation of a memory object to
honor their deceased loved one.

LVO met with the school administration and followed their advice to visit Fredrickson and Donlon schools. We

upper grades. I am happy to report that Frederiksen served as the pilot school for this kind of program.

on how the program responded to needs within the community. Describe any new and creative methods the
agency implemented to meet community needs.
630 students at Frederiksen and 600 at Murray Elementary were provided an introduction to opera by professional
and skilled singers. Flyers were distributed inviting students and parents to the Student Performance. Relatively few
student came to this, just as few came from Pleasanton in the initial year. This number grows larger after time. This
project addresses the need to provide music education in the elementary grades. The creative method was to create
an engaging program which could be age appropriate from 1 through 8 grades. Then two assemblies were
scheduled on the same day. That made it efficient for the singers to travel and perform for a fee LVO could afford.
23. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Does the agency feel this program was a success? How do you
measure the success of the program? Did it meet or exceed the goals and outcomes described in the
performance measures in the original application? If not, why?
The program was a success. Besides exceeding the stated goals, LVO received favorable feedback from teachers
and administrators.
24. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe any problems/delays encountered with the project. How were
they handled? What effects were there on project costs? Describe any changes that made the project
successful or will make it successful in future yea
Since a new assembly program was developed, and a new team was formed, the program was late in starting in the
fall of 2013. That will not be problem in the future.
25. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: List agencies you collaborated with on this project. Describe the nature
of the collaboration.
Meetings were held with the Dublin Unified School District. We were given encouragement, advice, and contacts for
the schools to be scheduled.
26. FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Did you obtain other funding sources for this particular project? If so,
list sources and amounts.
No other funding sources for Dublin residents were received. All grants for the Student Education program restrict
expenditures to their students.

Dublin grant funds have helped cover the staff and travel costs of one Meals On Wheels delivery route in Dublin.
Specifically, grant funds covered 1) the mileage for that route, estimated to be 6,144 miles a year at a
reimbursement rate of $0.555 per mile, 2) grant funds were also used to cover the part-time salary and benefits
for the Meals On Wheels Delivery Driver who covers that route, a full time equivalent of 25%.

How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
Report 5
The case management program successfully responds to unmet community needs by serving as a one-stop-
resource shop. With the addition of senior housing in Dublin, our case managers have received more and more
requests for services. To accommodate for the Mandarin/Cantonese-speaking populations in Dublin, we also
have a staff member and volunteers who translate. Case management cases also continue to become more
complex. For example, Ms. C is a 62-year-old, low-income Dublin resident without family or friends in the area. A
neighbor who received Farmer's Market coupons from a Senior Support case manager suggested Ms. C contact
Senior Support for assistance. Ms. C's case manager discovered she was off her depression medication, since
she was struggling to financially make ends meet and did not have health insurance. The case manager enrolled
Ms. C in Medicare, helped Ms. C apply and receive a Wiesner grant to pay her rent for 2 months, signed Ms. C up
for a Kaiser plan, and helped organize her finances. Shortly after insurance approval, Ms. C had a couple of UTIs
and was able to receive the medical care she needed. Ms. C is relieved she has medical coverage and can fill her
prescriptions; she is feeling optimistic about the future and has even scheduled meetings with a psychologist.
This is one example of how case managers' ability to help coordinate services can lead to overall improvements
in health.

Report 5
Our case managers continue to make a difference in the lives of the seniors we serve. Senior Support (SSPTV)
continues to provide greatly needed services to older adults in our community. Our seniors' needs continue to
grow as they age in our community. SSPTV case managers served 33 new seniors this year along with 30
seniors with one-time-serves; we provided information and referral to approximately 351 Dublin residents and
provided 359 visits.
Success in case management is defined by improvements in the quality of life for the seniors who have received
our services. This improvement may be evident in a cleaner living environment or simply in the relationship forged
between the case manager and senior client. Case management is all about small successes. Our primary
function is to provide seniors the tools and support that will enable them to make the choices necessary to
maintain their independence, improve their quality of life and ensure their safety and well being with dignity.
This program’s success can be measured by the fact that all seniors served this quarter were provided with one
or more services to assist them in remaining independent.

We are so grateful for your continued support of aging services! Funding has allowed us to provide essential case
management services to Dublin seniors. We are also thankful for Dublin Pride Week; during this time, we were
able to provide many of our seniors with volunteers to complete special projects, such as flipping mattresses and
cleaning windows, they would otherwise not be able to do. We also enjoyed collaborating with the City of Dublin
and Alameda County Fire Department for the Wishes to Warm the Winter Chill holiday gift program. Seniors, who
otherwise would not have received a gift during the holidays, thoroughly enjoyed receiving a beautifully wrapped
package; this was a special treat for our seniors. These events bring so much joy to the seniors; they not only
love the projects, but they love the volunteers who visit with them.
Please note since this is the final report we have used the year totals instead of the quarterly.

Report 5
The original purpose for the case management program was to deliver free, comprehensive services to seniors
aged 60 and older in Dublin to foster independence, promote safety and well-being, preserve dignity, and improve
quality of life. With our case management department and support from over 125 volunteers, we are able to carry
out this goal.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the accomplishments of the program funded. Provide detail on how
the program responded to needs within the community. Describe any new and creative methods the agency
implemented to meet community needs.
Report 5
Senior Support’s case management team has helped coordinate several volunteer events. For instance, the
Dublin Rotary project helped seniors with tasks they could not safely accomplish on their own. Various
companies, church groups, and other generous community members volunteered their time to assist with
household tasks. From cleaning windows and gutters to removing weeds from a hilly backyard, these events
successfully responded to older adults’ needs. Connecting seniors to resources within their community is one way
we help meet their needs.
Additionally, our case management team must come up with creative assistance methods customized for each
seniors. For example, Ms. B felt anxious about many aspects of her life, including her finances, diet, and overall
health. Her case manager was able to to break down one large set of worries into manageable tasks. The case
manager set up nutrition appointments with Senior Support's registered dietitian to review dietary guidelines to
manage Ms. B's diabetes and counseling appointments to help understand . The case manager helped Ms. B sort
her mail, which she stored in bags, missing important bills. Even holding a piece of mail made Ms. B shake with
anxiety. After the case manager went through the mail with her, Ms. B is now caught up on her bills and feels
prepared to sort mail as it comes in. The coordination of services has been key to mitigating Ms. B's anxiety, and
she now has a friend, her case manager, to help her navigate any obstacles that come her way.

Report 5
Senior Support feels the case management program is a great success, as the goals outlined on the application
were met and exceeded. We measure success by tracking progress thorough pre/post and annual assessments,
in conjunction with vital observations. In-home visits are key in helping case managers assess needs and
progress. As case managers work with seniors through telephone consultations and repeat in-home visits,
improvements in activities of daily living (ADLs) and indirect activities of daily living (IADLs) are seen. Progress is
evident in various ways, such as when a senior: remains independent in their home, no longer makes frequent
calls to emergency services, and has a cleaner living environment. These quality of life improvements confirm our
program’s success.

From over 32 years of experience as an organization, we realize the importance of coordinating as a team to
deliver services older adults need most. We have relationships with numerous senior housing facilities, Kaiser,
Valley Care, Tri-Valley senior centers, Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, Open Heart Kitchen, Dial-a-Ride,
Paratransit, community churches, Meals-on-Wheels, community food banks, and Tri-Valley emergency
responders. While we often receive referrals from these agencies, we also rely on these relationships to serve as
valuable resources for our seniors. Overall, these partnerships help us better understand the unique challenges
seniors face and deliver services addressing the whole person.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Did you obtain other funding sources for this particular project? If so, list
sources and amounts.
Report 5
Our program fortunately received a small grant from the Area Agency on Aging and private donations to serve
Tri-Valley seniors; however, we rely on support from Tri-Valley cities to fund this program. We continually seek
additional funding, but grants funding case management services for older adults are scarce. The Eastern
Alameda County Needs Assessment confirms there is a misconception that the Tri-Valley is generally
prosperous, and there is no need to expand behavioral health services. In reality, the majority of seniors we serve
are considered "near poor," meaning they do not qualify for federal assistance but are not able to make ends
meet.
We have seen so many improvements through Senior Support's case management program and recognize the
need for these services to continue. On behalf of Senior Support's board, staff, volunteers, and seniors, thank you
so much for your support; you have truly helped us make a difference in the lives of so many seniors.

6. How has the PROJECT/PROGRAM addressed an unmet community need & improved the qualify of life for
Dublin residents?
The project addresses three Dublin Areas of Concern: Domestic Violence, Homelessness and Food and Nutrition.
Domestic Violence is the primary cause of homelessness for women in the US. Shiloh provides a confidential shelter
and supportive case management, educational therapeutic and support groups and individual counseling to assist
survivors of domestic violence and their children in preparing to establish a new household free from abuse. While in
our domestic violence shelter, residents utilize the Haven Pantry to obtain free groceries during their stay, enabling
them to save more money. Our Life Skills groups provide information about nutrition and meal planning to shelter
residents. Our Crisis Line provides crisis counseling and safety planning and links survivors who do not require shelter
with other Haven programs such as counseling, legal assistance or the food pantry.

Report 5
The TVHOC served 76 Dublin households during the recent grant year (July 2013 through June 2014) with
extensive housing related services totaling approximately 300 hours of dedicated staff time. The primary services
offered were: pre-purchase first time home buyer education, pre-purchase counseling, default and delinquency
counseling, financial education (Understanding Credit and Budgeting),and free tax preparation assistance. The
TVHOC provided a total of 6, 8-hour HUD-approved home buyer education courses at Las Positas College; 13
Dublin households attended home buyer education services through the TVHOC. The TVHOC supported 5
additional first time home buyers in the purchase of their first home. The services provided by the TVHOC clearly
supports first time home buyers in navigating the complex system of purchasing a home. By effectively pre-
screening BMR candidates, the TVHOC saves Dublin city employees valuable time in the screening process for
BMR candidates. The TVHOC collaborated with other housing agencies in the area and community partners to
provide essential financial education skills to senior and low income populations. These classes were offered on
site to households and with additional live translation services as well (ie. Mandarin). An additional 35 households
were supported through phone calls from residents that reached out to the Center in order to gain support around
rental housing and legal assistance. Six (6) Dublin households walked in to the Center to gather supportive
information about affordable housing options within the Tri-Valley. This highlights the need for additional
supportive services and resources for those families that are currently renting, and may not be financially viable to
purchase, or may not qualify for affordable home ownership opportunities offered through the City of Dublin.

The TVHOC provided home buyer education to 13 new Dublin households throughout the year.
A total of 43 new households received financial education.
One new Dublin household received pre-purchase counseling.
Foreclosure/ mortgage delinquency counseling to 1 new Dublin households throughout the year, suggesting that
Dublin residents have a smaller percentage of homeowners that are struggling to stay in their homes.
The TVHOC provided free tax preparation services to 17 new Dublin households.
The TVHOC fielded over 35 phone calls from new Dublin households inquiring about rental resources, legal
services, and default/ delinquency support and supported 6 walk- in households looking for housing/ shelter
support.
The numbers reflected in this report illustrate that Dublin residents are for the most part primarily seeking
homebuyer/ homeownership opportunities within the Tri-Valley and that the TVHOC is a recognized resource in
helping them to achieve these goals.

readiness, teach money and credit management, mortgage loan products, avoiding predatory lending and post-
purchase education to maintain your home; aimed at creating sustainable housing situations and educating
clients on protecting home investments. Outreach to low-income, limited English speaking households,
traditionally besieged by predatory lending practices, will be specifically targeted. The TVHOC works with clients
to address challenges such as credit and savings requirements, and increase the number of qualified applicants
for the housing programs in Dublin.

The Center believes that the Community Stabilization Program was successful. This is supported by the fact that
first time home buyers receiving education and one on one counseling have remained in their homes have
continued to make payments on their mortgages. The Center supported first time home buyers in avoiding
questionable loan products (such as adjustable rate mortgages or interest-only payment structured loans. The
number of Dublin households that received financial education was substantially more than the targeted goal for
this fiscal year. Of the households that received mortgage default counseling, none of the households counseled
were foreclosed upon. Through one on one counseling, homeowners received unbiased information regarding
their various options with regards to their mortgages/ homes, and either worked with their lenders to modify their
loan or develop a strategy to exit the property gracefully and secure sustainable housing.

To date, we have been most successful in two areas listed in our initial proposal:
1. Provide families with connections to appropriate community resources.
2. Provide parents with education and support to more effectively parent their children.
The 3rd goal was a focus on education on healthy living (nutrition classes, wellness activities, and events, etc).
Throughout the year, we had a lot more success in these areas through the curriculum we were able to provide to

FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the original purpose for which the funds were granted. If applicable,
explain why your agency did not spend the entire grant.
Report 5
This grant was intended to be used for 50% of a FTE staff person to oversee family engagement at Emerald
Vista. While it wasn't fully funded, we were still able to put several staff members in charge of this project on a
part time basis.
All of the funds were used.

FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe the accomplishments of the program funded. Provide detail on how
the program responded to needs within the community. Describe any new and creative methods the agency
implemented to meet community needs.
Report 5
This program greatly affected the families at Emerald Vista, and helped us to leverage our work there to build
outside partnerships. Not only were we able to bring in resources to teach the kids about healthy nutrition and
active lifestyle, but we were also able to bring in outside resources for families.
We had a PT Case Manager who referred families to resources in the community when they needed them the
most. In addition to this, we were able to distribute donations that the Y received to various families in our
program there.
Finally, our staff were able to create behavior plans with our Case Manager, and share some of these techniques
with the families we were working with. This allowed these adults to more effectively parent their children.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Does the agency feel this program was a success? How do you measure the
success of the program? Did it meet or exceed the goals and outcomes described in the performance measures
in the original application? If not, wh
Report 5
Yes we do! We definitely had to learn how to meet these parents where they were at, and had to overcome
hurdles working with Eden Housing; however, we feel that our leanings have not only allowed us to serve these
families, but will also give us the opportunity to have a greater impact on their lives in the future.
We were right on par with our expectations, and have barely exceeded the goal number of residents that we
hoped to serve. Our staff did not do as well of a job measuring the outcome measures that we had originally
listed, due to staff turnover. That being said, we are confident in the number of families we served with the parent
education/support, healthy living advice, and connection to local services.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Describe any problems/delays encountered with the project. How were they
handled? What effects were there on project costs? Describe any changes that made the project successful or
will make it successful in future yea
Report 5
We had a few challenges, but no problems or delays.
This is a tough population to serve, and it's hard to get the parents' complete buy-in. To overcome this, we
worked with Eden Housing to survey the parents and get a sense from them on what they really wanted/needed.
This worked out well for us, but came much later in the year. This information will be invaluable in the upcoming
fiscal year.
Another challenge was turnover on our staff, as the Branch Operations Director and on-site recreation workers
changed over halfway through the year. While this affected some of the record keeping of the outcome measures,
we were still able to keep track of the number of residents we served, and know that we were very close to hitting
all of the measures we listed.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: List agencies you collaborated with on this project. Describe the nature of the
collaboration.
Report 5
We work closely with Eden Housing, since this is their property. We also collaborated with Dublin Unified School
District, CityServe of the Tri-Valley and the LDS Church.
FOR THE FINAL REPORT ONLY: Did you obtain other funding sources for this particular project? If so, list
sources and amounts.
Report 5
No we did not.
That being said, we are using our successes from this past year to leverage additional funding from other
partners. We believe that Kaiser will be supplementing our healthy living initiative at Emerald Vista with a $10,000
grant for the upcoming fiscal year.

Grant funds were used to hire professional, trained staff to work with the special needs children at camp. This
additional staffing allowed for lower staff to camper ratios. In addition, we were able to implement
developmentally appropriate curriculum modifications to meet the specific needs of the campers. Additional staff
allowed for more intensive behavioral guidance for the special needs children which will included observations
and behavior plans.

Report 4
Yes, the project was a success!
Y-Camp provided children with a community of caring adults, who nurture experiential education that results in
self-respect and appreciation for human value. We have seen a dramatic increase in the number of children with
special needs attending the Y summer day camp program (Y-Camp). This grant funding allowed us to hire
additional trained staff to ensure that those with special needs received the care and attention they require.
All of our outcomes -- self-identity, self-worth, self-esteem, leadership, and self-respect -- built personal
competencies in our campers.
In terms of numbers, we exceeded our stated goal by 25% - this was VERY encouraging to us!

Yes we did. We received a grant from the City of Pleasanton in the amount of $6,500.
We also conducted a significant amount of fundraising here at the Y to provide camp scholarships to some of
these families that had children with special needs, and nowhere else for their kids to grow and thrive in the
summer.
