JURISDICTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECT STATUS FOR CURRENT FISCAL YEAR
City of Dublin - Handicap Sidewalk Ramps
The City will be constructing 10 concrete handicap ramps at various curb returns within the residential
areas of Dublino The City will be going out to bid for this project this month. The bid opening will occur
in mid-March and construction of the ramps is proposed for April.
Dublin Housing Authority - Arroyo Vista Improvements
The Dublin Housing Authority received CDBG funds for this fiscal year to repair and/or replace leaking
and damaged roofs' in approximately 7 Arroyo Vista residential buildings. With additional funding
assistance from the City of Pleasanton, Arroyo Vista will be re-roofing a total of 12 buildings. The goals
and objectives of this project are to maintain a useful life of the Arroyo Vista property through repairing
leaking and damaged roofs that have occurred from prior leaks, and to provide employment opportunities
for public housing residents through federal construction contract requirements.
The Dublin Housing Authority has identified trees that need to be pruned or removed before roof work
can commence. The Authority entered into a contract for tree pruning services. The re-roof project has
gone out to bid.
Allied Housing, Inc. - Tri-Valley Housing Scholarship Program (TVHSP)
Allied Housing has been working extensively with three Dublin residents offering case management
services. These services involve personal counseling; housing information; and job training linkage,
which would enable participating low-income families to obtain full-time employment and become self-
sufficient. All clients are full-time students preparing for full-time employment.
One of these Dublin clients has been approved for rental subsidies and the remaining two are prospective
clients for housing. In order to implement the rental subsidy portion of the TVHSP, additional funds are
necessary, and they cannot be CDBG funds. The funding sources for providing rental subsidies can be
HOME funds, the City' s in-lieu funds, or other City funding sources. Since the last HOME funding cycle
for Fy 00-01 was inadvertently missed, Allied Housing, Inc. is requesting an allocation of $36,000 in
housing in-lieu funds from the City for providing rental subsidies (see letter, Attachment 3). This request
is discussed under a separate City Council agenda item.
Valley Community Health Center - Senior Support Services
The Valley Community Health Center is currently providing case management services for seniors in
Dublin. A total of 15 seniors will be assisted through this program by the end of this Fiscal year.
FINAL FISCAL YEAR 2001/2002 CDBG ALLOCATION
Dublin's CDBG allocation for Fiscal year 2001/2002 is $ 92,057 (see Exhibit A). The Alameda County
Housing and Community Development Department - Urban County staff (County HCD) uses a formula
for determining the amount of funds that must be used for certain project categories. The CDBG funds
for next Fiscal year may be spent as follows:
Jurisdiction Improvement Projects
$ 69,023
Housing Rehabilitation
$16,434
General Administration
$ 6,600
TOTAL $ 92,057
The City has flexibility in the distribution of the Jurisdiction Improvement Projects category and in the
General Administration funds. The funds allocated for Housing Rehabilitation must be reserved at the
level assigned by the County.
~he Planning Department received four project applications, which fall under the Jurisdiction
Improvement Projects category. The projects for City Council's review include one City of Dublin
project (Sidewalk Access Ramps); one Dublin Housing Authority project (Arroyo Vista Roof Repair); and
two additional outside agency projects: Allied Housing Inc.'s Tri-Valley Affordable Housing Scholarship
Program; and Valley Community Health Center's Senior Support Services Program.
After the City Council decides how the City's CDBG project funds will be distributed, the appropriate
applications must be submitted to the County HCD by February 9, 2001. Because the City participates in
the Urban County CDBG Program under an annual agreement, it will be necessary to re-apply for CDBG
funds for the 2001/2002 program year. Once the County HCD reviews and approves DUblin' s project
applications, a program agreement between the City and the County HCD will be drafted, which the City
Council will need to authorize in May of this year. The final City-County agreement will then be
submitted to the federal Housing and Urban Development Department in June of this year.
CDBG JURISDICTION IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR CONSIDERATION
City of Dublin - Sidewalk Access Ramps for Handicapped Accessibility
As part of the City of Dublin Sidewalk Program, the Public Works Department is requesting $ 68,400 in
CDBG funds to install approximately 57 concrete handicap ramps at various curb returns within the
residential areas of Dublin (see Attachment 2A). Each ramp would cost approximately $1,200, which
includes construction and administrative costs. The goals and objectives of this project are to comply
with the Americans with Disabilities Act and meet the needs of handicapped residents in the City of
Dublin.
The project would be initiated early next year and completed inthe Spring of 2002. Even after the
construction of 57 ramps is completed, there would still be a need to construct 99 ramps throughout the
City.
This project qualifies for CDBG funding under "Removal of Architectural Barriers."
Dublin Housing Authority - Public Facilities and Improvements
The Dublin Housing Authority has requested $ 42,000 in CDBG funds to cover the costs of
repairing/replacing leaking and damaged roofs on approximately 7 additional buildings at the Arroyo
Vista housing complex (see Attachment 2B)o The Alameda County Housing Authority has also applied
for $32,500 of the City of Pleasanton's CDBG funds for replacing additional roofs at Arroyo Vista.
To date, 43 roofs have been repaired at Arroyo Vista, which includes the recreation hall. Twelve roofs are
expected to be completed this Fiscal Year, which will bring the total number of roofs 'that will be
completed by the end of this Fiscal Year to fifty-five.
The' Arroyo Vista 150-unit subsidized housing complex provides much needed housing for very low
income families within the City of Dublin. The goals and objectives of the improvement project would be
to maintain a useful life of the Arroyo Vista property through repairing and/or replacing leaking roofs and
damaged roof members that have occurred from prior leaks, and to provide employment opportunities for
public housing residents through federal construction contract requirements.
This project qualifies for CDBG funding under "Public Housing Mo/:leruization."
Allied Housing, Inc. - Tri-Valley Housing Scholarship Program
Allied Housing, Inc. has requested $ 20,000 in CDBG funds to cover the cost of case management
services for 3 Dublin households as part of the Tri-Valley Housing Scholarship Program (TVHSP). The
services proposed include outreach, assessment~ assistance with vocational training, housing, and referrals
to employment for low-income individuals and families. The goal of this program is to assist low-income
individuals and families that are in a housing crisis and cannot afford market-rate rents while completing
job training and/or educational programs at local schools, to become employed and eventually become
self-sufficient.
Case management services can be paid with CDBG funds. The rental subsidy portion can only be paid
with HOME funds or the City' s in-lieu funds. The amount of funds required for the rental subsidy portion
of the TVHSP is $36,000. Three Dublin clients can be served with the $10,000 in case management and
$36,000 for housing subsidies.
4
Most of the program's students are on welfare and due to high rental costs in the Tri-Valley, are unable to
afford rents unless they drop out of school and go to work prematurely. Allied Housing, Inc. provides
rental subsidies to qualified students and works with rental property owners in having them provide
substantially below market rents.
This project qualifies for CDBG funding under "Public Services - General."
Valley Community Health Center (VCHC) - Senior Support Services
The VCHC has requested $ 7,500 in CDBG funds to provide case management services to 15 new seniors
and their families in Dublin. Case management services involve making an initial assessment of a
senior' s living situation and needs. The assessment consists of an evaluation of the senior' s physical,
mental and emotional status, and an assessment of the needs for assistance with daily living activities.
This project qualifies for CDBG funding under "Senior Services."
CONTRACTS WITH AGENCIES PROPOSING NON-CITY PROJECTS
If the Council approves funding for the Dublin Housing Authority; Allied Housing, Inc., and VCHC
projects (all non-city project), Dublin would need to enter into a separate contract with each agency for
purposes of project administration and fund tracking purposes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
All of the above projects meet the CDBG program's national objectives of benefiting low and moderate
income persons (Arroyo Vista Roof Repair Project; Tri-Valley Housing Scholarship Program; VCHC
Senior Support Program) and persons with physical disabilities (City's Handicap Ramp project) and they
are all eligible uses of CDBG funds. However, the total amount requested for all projects exceeds
Dublin's total CDBG funding allocation.
The City Council may allocate CDBG funds among eligible Jurisdiction Improvement Projects as they
choose, and they may consider other eligible projects that have not yet been proposed. The City also has
the flexibility in the distribution of Jurisdiction Improvement and General Administration funds.
Staff recommends that the City fully fund the Dublin Housing Authority Roof Repair project ($ 42,000)
and the VCHC Senior Support program ($ 7,500). Staff recommends partial funding of the Allied
Housing Inco Tri-Valley Housing Scholarship Program ($10,000). Staff concluded that this amount is
more proportional to the amount of Dublin students targeted for case management services compared to
the amount of students targeted for the cities of Pleasanton and Livermore. The remaining funds
($ 9,523 - 8 sidewalks) would be used for the City's Access Ramp project. Staff also recommends that
the full General Administration amount of $ 6,600 remain the same. If there are any remaining General
Administration funds at the end of Fiscal year 2001/2002, these funds can be allocated to City projects
approved for the following Fiscal year.
Funding the construction of approximately 8 sidewalks for handicapped accessibility would show the
City' s good faith compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This Act requires that facilities
and programs that receive public funds be accessible and useable by people with disabilities.
The City would benefit from any physical improvements that are made at the Arroyo Vista community.
CDBG funds used for repairing/replacing leaking or damaged roofs would help the City with deferred
maintenance costs at the Arroyo Vista complex. The City of Dublin has very limited low income housing.
The Dublin Housing Authority' s project furthers the City' s housing goals for retaining any existing
subsidized housing for very low-income individuals and families. With these physical improvements, the
Arroyo Vista community will become 'more attractive and livable, where residents will be able to take
pride in their Dublin community.
Allied Housing Inc. 's Tri-Valley Housing Scholarship Program would benefit Dublin students that are in
need of below market rate housing. This would give students the opportunity to complete their vocational
training and/or educational programs so that they can secure employment and become self-sufficient to a
point where they would no longer need housing assistance. This is a very pro-active program, that
promotes self-sufficiency and less reliance on public assistance, which would help relieve a jurisdiction' s
responsibility for providing affordable housing and social services. This program would assist the City in
accomplishing its goals as part of the City Housing Element.
The VCHC Senior Support project would highly benefit Dublin seniors in need of support services, such
as needed medical assistance and/or assistance with daily living activities. This program also assists the
families of the seniors.

Dear Ms. Cerelli:
Allied Housing is pleased to submit an application for CDBG funds for the Tri-
Valley Housing Scholarship Program. The funds will be used for the program
coordination and the case-management services that will support housing assistance
that benefit Dublin residents.
Most current Tri-Valley Housing Scholarship recipients receive their vocational
training from the
Chabot-Las-Positas Community College District. Most of these recipients are head
of households, finding a way to upgrade their skills while managing a very-low
income budget. The Housing Scholarship program provides relief So those family
providers can stay in school and obtain the skills necessary to support their families.
Due to the dramatic increases in rent, low-income families have struggled to stay in
their communities. The Housing Scholarship Program does not meet the vast need
for affordable housing, but it does support some families that are committed to the
hard work it takes to become self-sufficient.
The City of Pleasanton and the City of Livermore have enthusiastically supported the
Housing Scholarship program, now in its third year. We hope that the City of
Dublin can continue be apart of the Tri-Valley partnership, and help support Dublin
residents families that are striving to make a difference.
We look forward to working with you and appreciate your support.

Re: Community Development Block Grant Application
Thank you for the oppommity to summit the enclosed application for the
Community block grant year 2001-2002
Valley Community Health Center Senior Support Program addresses the
needs of the aging-population in our community. Chronic illnesses and the
"wearing ,out" process can prevent seniors from maintaining an independent
life. The common practice of rapid discharge from hospitals compounds the
problem, as seniors are routinely discharged long before fully convalescing.
They are in enormous need of assistance. For these seniors, as well as many
others who have disabilities, simple tasks such as bathing, dressing, cooking,
shopping and handling financial affairs are extremely difficult, if not
impossible. If left alone, the seniors inability to perform these daily tusks
necessitates institutionalization. The financial' burden of gtutionalization
can quickly deplete an entire lifetime of savings. When a senior no longer has
the resources to pay for care, society must bear the burden, as tax dollars
subsidize instimtionalization.
Valley Community Health Center's Senior SuppOrt Program has been.
providing services for Dublin seniors since 1981. Services offered through
this program include senior health screening, case management, elder abuse
prevention, in-home reassurance (friendly visiting), choreworker registry
services, in-home counseling, and information and referral services.

· The Senior Support Program is seeking funding to provide greatly needed
case management services in the Dublin area. Through the case management
service, seniors are visited in their homes and an initial assessment is made of
the living situation and needs. This assessment consists of an evaluation of
the senior' s physical, mental and emotional status, as well as their need for
assistance with daily living activities. After the initial visit, a care plan is
formulated with the senior and their. family. This plan includes locating,
arranging and overseeing services such as transportation, meals, safety
devices, and in-home companions and workers. Referrals are made and
services are coordinated with physicians, home health nurses, social workers,
attorney and other professionals. Assistance is provided in applying for
Medi-Cal, food stamps and SSI and in handling Medicare and health
insurance billing. The situation is monitored on an ongoing basis at intervals
appropriate to .the individual needs of the senior, and care plans are modified
as necessary.
Another vital component of this program is the provision of support and
educational services for the elder and their family. This support can be
crucial when decisions of whether the eider should remain at home or not
arise. Our case managers help to make the transitions easier on the families.
Once again, thank you for your past support and the oppommity to apply in
this funding cycle. If you have any questions I can be reached at 93 1-5378.

January 31,2001
Dear Ms. Cirelli,
The Dublin City Council unanimously approved to use $10,000 in
CDBG money for case management for Dublin participants in the Tri-
Valley Housing Scholarship Program for the fiscal year 2000-2001.
We have entered into an agreement with the city for CDBG funds, but
still need funds for rent subsidies for the clients. There are limited
resources to pay rent subsidies for the Housing Scholarship Program.
Two sources identified include HOME Funds (which are currently used
in Livermore and Pleasanton) and "in-lieu" funds. Our plan is to work
with the city when Dublin applies for HOME funds for fiscal year
2001-2002. For this fiscal year, 2000-2001, we are asking that "in-lieu"
funds be utilized to provide a $6,500 rental subsidy for one Dublin
resident with whom the TVHS program has' closely worked. This
amount will be utilized to cover the estimated security deposit of
$2,500 and a rental subsidy of up to $1000 per month for March 2001
through June 2001.
Our goal is to help support families who want to stay in the City of
Dublin and support a strategy for reducing their housing cost to income
ratio so that they can manage their family needs.
We anticipate that Allied Housing will serve three (3) families from
Dublin, and project needing $36,000 for rent subsidies for the
2001/2002 Fiscal Year. Our average annual rent subsidy cost per family
is $12,000 for market rents between $720 and $1300. A CDBG
application for the case-management portion for services and program
operations'has been submitted for this fiscal year. The "in lieu" and/or
HOME funds will only be used for rental subsidies and deposits for
Attachment 3
City of Dublin residents. For the entire Tri-Valley area, including Dublin,
we intend to service 12 families during the next fiscal year. Students
approved for the program are in progressive job skill classes at Las Positas
College, Chabot, Western Career College, and Hayward Adult School.
The Housing Scholarship model is only successful with a commitment for
tenant subsidies and case management working together. Dublin can make a
difference in helping our families at poverty level who are trying to better
themselves. We respectfully request that "in-lieu" funds be approved for
rental subsidies for this program,
