Staff Report
DATE: March 12, 2014
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Patrick O’Keeffe, Economic & Community Development Consultant
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2014-2015 ONE YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council hear public testimony on the City's housing,
community, and economic development needs for the 2014-2015 One Year Action Plan and
provide direction to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Subcommittee
regarding funding priorities.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires local jurisdictions to
prepare a One Year Action Plan (“Action Plan”) in order to receive funds through the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. As part of the development of the Action Plan, the City
is required to hold two public hearings.
The purpose of the March 12, 2014 public hearing is to obtain citizens’ views on housing,
community, and economic development needs which will inform the Action Plan. Additionally, for
those nonprofit organizations seeking CDBG funds, they may use the public hearing to make brief
comments to City Council regarding their programs. The City Council may take this opportunity to
ask the nonprofit organizations questions regarding their proposed activities and to give direction to
the CDBG Subcommittee on priorities for funding. This public hearing was announced in the San
Mateo County Times on February 24, 2014. The second public hearing, planned for April 23, 2014 is
to adopt the Action Plan and make final allocations for CDBG funding.
FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR FY 14-15
The City has not yet received notification from HUD of its entitlement amount for FY 14-15
however the City anticipates a 5% reduction from the prior year (FY 13-14) or approximately
$400,233 for FY 14-15. Staff also recommends budgeting $200,000 in prior years uncommitted
funds /program income along with an estimated $35,000 in program income estimated to be received
during FY 14-15. This gives the City an estimated CDBG budget of $635,233 for FY 14-15, which is
Staff Report
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 2014-2015 ONE YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Page No 2
$236,065 less than the FY 13-14 budget. Additionally, staff will provide the City Council with a
more definitive budget once HUD makes the allocation announcement which is expected to occur on
March 15, 2014. For further information please see Exhibit A.
Pursuant to federal spending limitations, a total of 15% of the entitlement amount plus 15% of prior
year program income (from FY 13-14) may be allocated to nonprofit organizations for public service
activities. The City anticipates the total spending limit for public services (entitlement plus program
income) to be $67,050 for next year. Last year, the City allocated $77,898 for public service
activities.
CDBG administration costs (City staff time to administer the grant) also have a mandated spending
limitation of 20% of the entitlement amount plus 20% of estimated current year program income
(from FY 14-15). The approximate spending limitation for administrative costs is $87,047, a
reduction from last year’s $94,260 administration allocation. These spending limits are mandated by
congressional statute and may not be exceeded with CDBG funds.
PROPOSED ACTIVITIES
The City issued a request for proposals (RFP), with a grant minimum of $10,000, for FY 14-15
CDBG funds for public services, fair housing, minor home repair programs, housing activities, and
public facility improvement projects on December 13, 2013. The applications were made available
online from December 13, 2013 to January 24, 2014. Additionally, an invitation to submit proposals
was published in the San Mateo County Times on December 13, 2014 and an email notification was
sent to the City’s community service providers list. Please see Exhibits B through E for further
application information.
• Public Service Activities
The City received sixteen (16) applications from non-profits for public service funding this
year. In addition to the $10,000 grant minimum, the City also follows a two-year funding
cycle for public service activities. The second year funding is contingent upon available
resources and contract compliance. Project proposals and budgets reflect a one-year program
that would renew the same goals and objectives for the following year. FY 14-15 is the start
of a new two year cycle. As mentioned above, there is a spending limitation for public
services and the City anticipates $67,050 available for next year.
• Housing Activities
The City received zero (0) applications for larger-scale housing activities (e.g. acquisition,
multi-family housing rehabilitation) however the City did receive four (4) applications for
minor home repair programs and will be implementing the City-Sponsored Housing
Rehabilitation Program, which is not included in the RFP process.
Minor Home Repair Programs
The City received four (4) applications for minor home repair programs. Like the
public service activities, minor home repair programs follow a two-year funding
cycle. However, unlike public services there are no federal spending limits on minor
home repair programs. Staff recommends budgeting $60,000 for minor home repair

programs which is an increase of $16,500 from the prior year.
City-Sponsored Housing Rehabilitation Program
The City's Housing Rehabilitation Program assists low and moderate-income
homeowners with housing loans and/or grants to rehabilitate their homes. This
program includes the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program, Debris Box Voucher
Program, and Emergency Home Repair Voucher Program. Staff is requesting
$220,000 for this program which is $55,000 decrease from the prior year due to a
decrease in funding available.
• Public Facility Improvement Projects
The City also received zero (0) applications for non-profit-owned public facility
improvement projects (e.g. Boys & Girls Club Project). However, the Parks and Recreation
Department has requested funding for ADA improvements at city-owned parks. In the last
few years, a significant amount of CDBG funding has been used for ADA improvement
projects such as the picnic/BBQ upgrades at Buri Buri Park, the Magnolia Senior Center
elevator refurbishment, and the safety surfacing at the City Hall Tot Lot. Pursuant to the
February 19, 2014 City Council Study Session on economic development, the City Council
has decided to shift its CDBG priorities towards revitalizing the Downtown instead of city-
owned facility improvement projects.
• Downtown Public Right of Way (ROW) Improvement Projects
As discussed at the February 19, 2014 City Council Study Session, staff has proposed that
the City Council allocate CDBG funding towards Public Right of Way (ROW)
Improvements in the Downtown. This funding is to include the reallocation of funding
historically designated for the City-Sponsored Commercial Rehabilitation Program (i.e.
Downtown Façade Improvement Program), which is recommended to be funded by General
Fund dollars instead in FY 14-15. If approved by the City Council as part of the FY 14-15
operating budget, the City will allocate $200,000 in CDBG funding to prioritize and
implement ROW projects identified in the Downtown Station Area Plan (DSAP), which is to
be reviewed by City Council in summer 2014 for adoption.
HOME ADMINISTRATIVE FUNDS/FAIR HOUSING
The County of San Mateo (“County”) HOME Consortium provides the City one percent (1%) of its
federal HOME entitlement amount on a yearly basis for administration costs. The City has targeted
these funds to fair housing activities since the CDBG regulations require the City to affirmatively
further fair housing and fair housing activities can only be funded from administration or public
service funds. The County has not notified the City of its FY 14-15 HOME entitlement amount.
However, the City anticipates its FY 14-15 HOME allocation to be $8,569; this is a reduction of
approximately 5% from its FY 13-14 allocation of $9,020.
In FY 12-13 the HOME Administrative funds were allocated to Project Sentinel, a non-profit fair
housing provider, for a two-year cycle. Project Sentinel has submitted an application for the
upcoming two-year cycle and is the only applicant to submit an application for fair housing.

Acceptable*Not funded in FY 13‐14 however funded in FY 12‐13 and exceeded proposed goalAcceptable*HIP's proposed goals represent number of people screened for the home sharing program, goals do not reflect number of people actually placed into homesharing. Staff recommends that, if funded, HIP provide proposed goals of people matched not screened as this better represents the service being provided.

Unlike other programs that provide accessibility modifications, CID has an occupational therapist that assesses each client's assessbility needs

Bay Area Legal Aid’s mission is to expand equal access to the civil justice system through quality legal assistance
regardless of a client’s location, language or disability. As an organization, BayLegal’s objective is to help improve
the lives of its clients and ensure that they are able to live safely, securely, and with the benefits and protections to
which they are entitled.
Key Priorities: As the largest provider of civil legal services to low-income Bay Area residents, BayLegal improves
the lives of thousands by focusing on five areas of law identified by the low-income community as their most
pressing and unmet legal needs: the prevention of homelessness and the preservation of affordable housing;
stopping domestic violence; securing access to health care; preserving consumer rights, and maintaining economic
stability.
BayLegal has offices in six counties, operates the largest general legal advice and intake hotline in the state of
California, and provides assistance through advice, counsel and referral, legal representation, public policy
development and improvement, trainings, and education and outreach. Services are provided free of charge and in
multiple languages. BayLegal serves residents with incomes up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (or
approximately 42% of San Mateo County AMI).
Program Overview: Each of the CDBG funding jurisdictions has identified victims of domestic violence as a “special
needs population” requiring a distinct set of services in order to escape their abusive living situation. Victims of
domestic violence and their families have unique needs, including involvement with either the civil or criminal
justice system. To meet their basic human need for safety, victims require legal assistance, access to safe and
stable housing, specialized counseling, childcare and job training assistance. Domestic violence victims with
children also need to ensure their children have access to adequate food supply, health care, and a more stabilized
educational and social environment.
An effective way of reducing domestic violence in a community is to increase the availability of legal services to
survivors. The availability of legal services in the county of residence has been shown to significantly reduce the
likelihood that an individual woman is battered.(1)
Because domestic violence can be an immediate cause of homelessness, especially for women and children,
domestic violence victims are best served by enacting existing legal protections designed to keep them and their
children housed and financially stable. BayLegal’s assistance helps victims and their families stay in the family
home, resulting in a decrease in homelessness and less demand for limited shelter beds. Restraining orders, in
particular, are powerful tools for helping to maintain housing for victims. However, going to court and asking for a
restraining order is not an easy task. It is a lengthy legal process that victims, including low-income or limited
English proficient, are unlikely to complete successfully without access to some form of legal assistance.
Restraining orders have provisions available to: order the batterer out of the home (vacate order), obviating the
need for the survivor to find alternate shelter; order the batterer to make rental or mortgage payments, avoiding the
loss of the home; grant spousal or child support payments, giving the survivor the financial independence to keep
their housing stable and financial resources to feed and clothe her family; keep the batterer from causing problems
at the survivor’s place of employment, preventing the loss of self-support; and more. These orders are a crucial first
step in stopping further abuse and preventing homelessness for domestic violence survivors and their children.
The services provided by BayLegal’s Domestic Violence Legal Safety Net Project help increase the safety, self-
sufficiency, and housing stability of hundreds of San Mateo County domestic violence victims each year (many of
whom have little or no income, particularly in difficult economic times) by providing free multi-lingual legal

assistance, with an emphasis on restraining order assistance.
Program Objectives: The goal of BayLegal’s Domestic Violence Legal Safety Net Project is to increase the safety
and self-sufficiency of low-income domestic violence survivors and their children by providing them with free
domestic violence-related legal assistance. With the help of BayLegal’s services, victims are able to transition from
being in dependent, abusive relationships to living safely and securely, both physically and economically.
The main objectives of this project include:
• Increase physical safety for low-income victims of domestic violence;
• Secure legal immigration status for low-income immigrant victims of domestic violence;
• Enact legal protections to enable domestic violence survivors to achieve long-term safety and self-sufficiency;
• Empower low-income victims of domestic violence by educating them on their rights and the services available to
help them escape abuse.
BayLegal's Domestic Violence Legal Safety Net Project will achieve these objectives in the 2014-2015 program
year by providing legal assistance to a minimum of 70 residents of the City of San Mateo, 70 residents of the City
of South San Francisco, 100 residents of the City of Redwood City, and 150 residents of San Mateo County Urban
County.
The outcome of the services provided by BayLegal's Domestic Violence Legal Safety Net Project is securing an
individual’s or family’s safe escape from domestic violence and/or sexual assault. By stopping current violence and
preventing future violence, the project’s services help arrest the cycle of abuse and the social problems that result
from it. In San Mateo County, the creation of BayLegal’s Domestic Violence Restraining Order Clinic, a critical
component of this project, led to a 24% increase in the number of restraining orders requested in the County.
Studies have shown that when victims of domestic violence receive legal assistance with restraining orders, the
number of orders approved by the court increases. Thus, the services provided through BayLegal's Clinic alone
increases the rate at which victims who have a real and urgent need for safety are able to escape abuse.
In 2013 alone, BayLegal’s Domestic Violence Restraining Order Clinic helped over 390 victims of domestic
violence file temporary restraining order requests, of which approximately 323 (83%) were granted. BayLegal’s
staff also completed 247 cases where direct legal assistance, including advice and counsel, brief services, and/or
legal representation, was provided to victims and their children. Twenty-eight cases involved contested litigation
and 136 involved immigrant victims of domestic violence who now have a path to legal status. In 2013,
approximately 78% of people receiving assistance through the Domestic Violence Legal Safety Net Project had
children in the home, with an average of three people helped per household. Based on the total number of
household members served through the project in 2013, including Restraining Order Clinic participants and in-
office clients, approximately 1,610 people benefitted from BayLegal’s services last year. Also through this work,
approximately $1.2 million in child and/or spousal support and property distribution was awarded to the clients
served.
Project Activities: BayLegal’s Domestic Violence Legal Safety Net Project provides comprehensive legal
assistance, including referrals, options counseling, safety planning, legal advice and counsel, brief services, pro per
assistance with restraining orders, and legal representation to low-income victims of domestic violence. Victims can
access to the project’s services through BayLegal’s regional legal hotline, the Legal Advice Line (LAL), and its San
Mateo County regional office and Restraining Order Clinic located in Redwood City. The client’s safety and
emergency legal needs are assessed at the time of the client’s initial visit or phone call. Clients are given referrals
to other supportive programs to meet their need for shelter (CORA), food (CalFresh), health care, and counseling
or mental health services, as appropriate.
Initial client intake and case assessment is typically conducted through BayLegal’s LAL, with follow-up services
scheduled at BayLegal’s Redwood City office for clients who require assistance beyond advice, counsel and
referrals. The LAL, BayLegal’s centralized intake and advice system, connects clients to immediate, effective legal
advice and counsel. Staffed by seven highly-trained expert public interest attorneys and advocates, the LAL
increases access to justice for non-English speaking clients, who can receive services in seven languages:
Spanish, English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Hindi, and Japanese (additional language services are also
available through translators). The LAL reduces geographic and transportation barriers for rural and disabled
clients, and increases safety for domestic violence victims, who are able to receive potentially life-saving
information over the phone.
The legal assistance provided by the project includes:
• Advice, counsel, and brief legal services (including restraining order assistance): Project attorneys provide legal
advice and counsel, brief services, and appropriate referrals for low-income San Mateo County victims of domestic
violence. Advice and brief services are provided through BayLegal’s Legal Advice Line or in person at the
Redwood City office.
Restraining order assistance is provided to domestic violence victims living in San Mateo County through
BayLegal’s Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining Order Clinic. Established in 2005 with support from the State
Bar of California and the San Mateo County Superior Court, BayLegal’s Clinic is dedicated to serving the needs of
low-income survivors who cannot afford to pay for attorney services when seeking temporary restraining orders.
Working collaboratively with Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse (CORA) and the San Mateo County
Superior Court, the Clinic provides assistance to self-represented (pro per) domestic violence victims seeking to

apply for a temporary restraining order, move out orders, and/or emergency child and spousal support. Services
provided include: education on the restraining order process; assistance on pro per forms completion; directions on
submitting and filing of forms; preparing for representing oneself at a court hearing; Restraining Order After Hearing
preparation at the dedicated DVPA court calendars; and referrals to other social and legal service providers.
The need for clinic services has grown since the recession, with the San Mateo County Superior Court reducing the
Family Law Facilitator’s Office staff from six to two. In making those cuts, the Court also lost their only two Spanish-
speaking facilitators, leaving BayLegal’s clinic as the primary restraining order resource for San Mateo’s low-
income victims of domestic violence. BayLegal provides assistance in both English and Spanish.
• Legal representation: Through the project’s holistic legal services practice, victims receive legal assistance with
family law issues (restraining orders, dissolution, support, custody and visitation orders), immigration (VAWA
petitions, U-Visas, and battered spouse waivers), securing safe and affordable housing, public benefits, access to
health care and consumer related issues. This combination of free legal services and expertise in the areas of law
most needed by victims is essential to helping clients meet their basic human need for safety and ensuring that
they will be supported in their life away from the abuser.
• Outreach and education: Project staff will conduct outreach and education sessions to victims to inform them of
their rights and services available under this project. Sessions will be conducted throughout San Mateo County at
public events, shelters, and local domestic violence community organizations.
• Pro Bono case placement: With BayLegal's help, most of the domestic violence survivors who receive support at
BayLegal's Restraining Order Clinic are able to go to court on their own and successfully represent themselves at
the hearing where the judge determines whether or not a restraining order is warranted. However, survivors who do
not speak English, or who have been traumatized by particularly violent abuse, are often not able to effectively
present their own case. For these survivors, BayLegal, CORA and the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County
operate the Domestic Violence Collaborative Project. The project recruits, trains and matches pro bono attorneys
with abuse survivors who would not be able to adequately represent themselves in court. Attorneys are recruited
from large law firms who receive free continuing legal education (CLE) training from the collaborating agencies,
other experienced attorneys and judicial officers. Each attorney participant also receives an extensive practice
manual and sample pleadings. Pro bono attorneys sign up in advance for specific hearing dates and are assigned
an experienced family law attorney as a mentor throughout their representation.
Throughout the four CDBG jurisdictions, BayLegal's Domestic Violence Legal Safety Net Project provides victims
with the long-term solutions they need to attain safety, gain independence, and access supportive networks and
financial safety nets for themselves and their children. Here is the story of one San Mateo County resident for
whom access to civil legal aid had a profound effect:
Lori* shared an apartment with her boyfriend and one of his friends. Lori's boyfriend was verbally and emotionally
abusive, and eventually things became violent. The violence escalated and on at least one occasion included
sexual assault. The breaking point came one night when their roommate was away and Lori's boyfriend attacked
her. He held her hostage in their apartment, screaming at her and kicking her while she lay on the ground; he hit
her and dragged her around the apartment, threatened to kill her, and attempted to suffocate her. Lori finally made
her escape in the early hours of the morning, when her abuser took a moment to sit down. Lori grabbed her keys
and cell phone and ran for the door. She ran outside to her truck and drove to the nearest open business, a donut
shop.
The police came as soon as Lori called them from the safety of the donut shop. They helped her obtain an
Emergency Protective Order and went with her back to her apartment, where they arrested her boyfriend and took
him to jail.
Lori came to BayLegal when she fell behind on her rent because her boyfriend refused to contribute to the rent
from jail and the roommate refused to pay rent because he accused her of having his friend wrongly arrested. After
receiving an Unlawful Detainer notice, Lori realized that her housing was in jeopardy and worried about becoming
homeless. Lori's BayLegal attorney called her landlord to see if she could negotiate. While the landlord was
sympathetic to Lori's situation, he said his hands were tied because she was behind on the rent. Lori's attorney
hoped to get Lori out of her living situation as quickly and smoothly as possible, but advised her that she didn't
qualify for early lease termination because her rent wasn't paid in full.
After some negotiations, Lori's attorney was able to strike a deal with the landlord. The landlord agreed to accept
Lori's security deposit of $1,300 as partial payment for the back rent of $1,430. In addition, since it was already the
12th of the month, the attorney negotiated that Lori could pay the remaining $130 if the landlord agreed to accept a
12-day deficiency on a standard 30-day notice to vacate. More importantly, Lori was able to avoid having an
eviction on her tenancy record, which meant that she was able to move to a safe, affordable single apartment
without problems. Thanks to BayLegal's help, Lori is grateful to be free from her abusive ex-boyfriend and to finally
have a safe and stable place to live.

13A. Assessment of Need - Redwood City: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for
each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Statistics show that, even before the economic downturn and despite the ongoing efforts to combat it, domestic
violence is and has been an undeniable problem in San Mateo County. In 2012, San Mateo County reported 2,571
domestic violence related calls to law enforcement. (1) This number becomes even more troublesome when low
reporting rates are taken into consideration - according to the National Violence Against Women Survey, only 27%
of women and 14% of men who are victims of domestic violence end up reporting their assault to law enforcement.
(2)
In addition to the individual traumas of domestic violence, there are also economic and societal consequences of
these crimes. As reported by the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, violence against women is a
leading cause of homelessness nationwide.(3) About 28% of U.S. cities surveyed in 2008 reported that domestic
violence was a primary cause of homelessness. In the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Title VI entitled
“Housing Opportunities and Safety for Battered Women and Children”, Public Law 109-162 Title VI., Congress
made a number of specific finding about the intersection between housing and domestic violence. These findings
include: 44% of homeless women identified the primary cause of their homelessness as domestic violence, and
92% of homeless women have experienced severe physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lives.(4)
Many domestic violence victims, and in particular those with little to no income, often have to choose between
staying in an abusive household and becoming homeless. Many of those who have the courage to flee will, in fact,
become homeless, either by choosing to leave or by being evicted by a landlord for reasons related to the abuse,
such as police involvement or property damage. As abusers often control finances to maintain control in the
relationship, survivors may lack steady income, landlord references, and good credit, all of which are necessary to
find new housing. Furthermore, statistics show that a lack of affordable housing and housing assistance further
limits the options available to victims.(5)
Victims of violence usually have complex, interrelated legal needs. Legal aid can address those interrelated issues
and help to achieve and maintain survivor safety, including: obtaining restraining orders and sole custody of
children (nationally, more than half of female victims of violence have children under the age of 12 in the home – a
number that is even greater among BayLegal's client population); securing child and spousal support payments;
finding safe housing or fighting evictions caused by the batterer; and maintaining employment when the abuse
interferes with the victim’s ability to work. (6)
While there are four agencies providing limited legal representation to low-income victims of domestic violence in
San Mateo County (CORA, Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, APILO, and Community Legal Services of
East Palo Alto), until BayLegal’s Restraining Order Clinic was established, none of these agencies had the
resources to provide broad-based assistance to victims applying in pro per for a restraining order. While there is
some assistance available through the Court Clerk and Family Law Facilitator's offices, it is not sufficient to meet
the specific needs of self-represented domestic violence survivors. BayLegal’s project is also the only one in the
county able to provide direct legal assistance to victims in the areas outside of family law including housing, health
access and economic security.
Funding from the City of Redwood City will enable the project to meet victims’ needs by providing free and effective
legal assistance, information, education, and support services that assist low-income survivors of all ages,
ethnicities and languages throughout Redwood City. Financial support will help BayLegal to serve domestic
violence survivors in obtaining restraining orders, immigration relief, custody, dissolutions, child and spousal
support; to secure safe and affordable housing; access health care; and receive assistance with income
maintenance and welfare-to-work plans. Access to high quality, comprehensive legal assistance and advocacy—a
legal safety net—is crucial for victims of domestic violence in order to access the protections that can help stop the
violence and create lasting stability.
BayLegal’s project addresses the following Public Service priority areas identified in the City of Redwood City's
2010-2015 Consolidated Plan: Human Services Objectives HS‐5 (increase self‐sufficiency and independence), and
HS‐6 (reduce the need for the use of emergency services). BayLegal's services meet these objectives through the
identified strategies of: 'Crisis Intervention (HS-6): Support crisis intervention services including those that serve
victims of domestic violence, the elderly, and youth. This includes counseling and referral.' and 'Domestic Violence
Prevention (HS-5, 6): Support services that prevent domestic violence through counseling and education.'
The target population for the portion of the project to be funded by the City of Redwood City is Redwood City
residents who are victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault. BayLegal focuses its resources on
traditionally underserved groups including immigrants, limited English proficient (LEP) victims, and the disabled.
Eligible victims will have incomes at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. (7) In 2013, survivors served from
Redwood City were approximately 71% Hispanic, 17% Caucasian, 4% Asian/Pacific Islander, 4% African
American, 1% Native American, and 4% Other/Multi-racial. Approximately 50% of Redwood City residents seeking
BayLegal’s services spoke Spanish as their primary language.

for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Statistics show that, even before the economic downturn and despite the ongoing efforts to combat it, domestic
violence is and has been an undeniable problem in San Mateo County. In 2012, San Mateo County reported 2,571
domestic violence related calls to law enforcement. (1) This number becomes even more troublesome when low
reporting rates are taken into consideration - according to the National Violence Against Women Survey, only 27%
of women and 14% of men who are victims of domestic violence end up reporting their assault to law enforcement.
(2)
In addition to the individual traumas of domestic violence, there are also economic and societal consequences of
these crimes. As reported by the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, violence against women is a
leading cause of homelessness nationwide.(3) About 28% of U.S. cities surveyed in 2008 reported that domestic
violence was a primary cause of homelessness. In the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Title VI entitled
“Housing Opportunities and Safety for Battered Women and Children”, Public Law 109-162 Title VI., Congress
made a number of specific finding about the intersection between housing and domestic violence. These findings
include: 44% of homeless women identified the primary cause of their homelessness as domestic violence, and
92% of homeless women have experienced severe physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lives.(4)
Many domestic violence victims, and in particular those with little to no income, often have to choose between
staying in an abusive household and becoming homeless. Many of those who have the courage to flee will, in fact,
become homeless, either by choosing to leave or by being evicted by a landlord for reasons related to the abuse,
such as police involvement or property damage. As abusers often control finances to maintain control in the
relationship, survivors may lack steady income, landlord references, and good credit, all of which are necessary to
find new housing. Furthermore, statistics show that a lack of affordable housing and housing assistance further
limits the options available to victims.(5)
Victims of violence usually have complex, interrelated legal needs. Legal aid can address those interrelated issues
and help to achieve and maintain survivor safety, including: obtaining restraining orders and sole custody of
children (nationally, more than half of female victims of violence have children under the age of 12 in the home – a
number that is even greater among BayLegal's client population); securing child and spousal support payments;
finding safe housing or fighting evictions caused by the batterer; and maintaining employment when the abuse
interferes with the victim’s ability to work. (6)
While there are four agencies providing limited legal representation to low-income victims of domestic violence in
San Mateo County (CORA, Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, APILO, and Community Legal Services of
East Palo Alto), until BayLegal’s Restraining Order Clinic was established, none of these agencies had the
resources to provide broad-based assistance to victims applying in pro per for a restraining order. While there is
some assistance available through the Court Clerk and Family Law Facilitator's offices, it is not sufficient to meet
the specific needs of self-represented domestic violence survivors. BayLegal’s project is also the only one in the
county able to provide direct legal assistance to victims in the areas outside of family law including housing, health
access and economic security.
Funding from the City of San Mateo will enable the project to meet victims’ needs by providing free and effective
legal assistance, information, education, and support services that assist low-income survivors of all ages,
ethnicities and languages throughout San Mateo. Financial support will help BayLegal to serve domestic violence
survivors in obtaining restraining orders, immigration relief, custody, dissolutions, child and spousal support; to
secure safe and affordable housing; access health care; and receive assistance with income maintenance and

welfare-to-work plans. Access to high quality, comprehensive legal assistance and advocacy—a legal safety
net—is crucial for victims of domestic violence in order to access the protections that can help stop the violence
and create lasting stability.
BayLegal’s project addresses the following priority area identified in the City of San Mateo in its 2013-2014 Action
Plan: Provide social services to help people reach self-sufficiency. BayLegal provides holistic legal services that
include securing a domestic violence victim's safe escape from harm, as well as important stabilizing steps such as
securing child and spousal support orders, accessing needed healthcare and public benefits, and ensuring safe
and stable housing. By providing civil legal assistance to address each individual client and their family's respective
needs, the Domestic Violence Safety Net Project helps abuse survivors to move from dangerous, dependent
relationships to self-sufficiency and stability.
The target population for the portion of the project to be funded by the City of San Mateo is low-income San Mateo
residents who are victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault. BayLegal focuses its resources on
traditionally underserved groups including immigrants, limited English proficient (LEP) victims, and the disabled.
Eligible victims will have incomes at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. (7) In 2013, survivors served from
the City of San Mateo were approximately 45% Hispanic, 32% Caucasian, 14% Asian/Pacific Islander, 3% African
American, 1% Native American, and 5% Other/Multi-racial. Approximately 27% of San Mateo residents seeking
BayLegal’s services spoke Spanish as their primary language.

In the County of San Mateo's FY 2013-14 - FY 2017-18 Consolidated Plan, the County identifies victims/survivors
of domestic violence as a special needs population (pg. 55). Further, according to the Consolidated plan, 'the
County estimates that domestic violence affects more than 10,000 individuals in San Mateo County each year, '
and identifies the need for 'access to legal services, and education about legal rights' amongst domestic violence
survivors (pg. 57).

The City of South San Francisco Five Year Consolidated Plan FY2013-2014 – FY2017-2018 identifies a need for
Safety Net Services, including domestic violence services, and states that 'these types of service are essential in
helping the homeless and those at risk of homelessness.' (pg. 25) In the past year, BayLegal has helped partner
agency Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach create a temporary restraining order clinic at the South San
Francisco Courthouse, helping to expand the pro per legal assistance available to domestic abuse victims in South
City. However, the need is still great for South City domestic violence survivors. For example, in 2012, South San
Francisco residents made 625 domestic violence assistance calls to law enforcement, a disproportionately high
rate compared to other CDBG jurisdictions in the County.(7)
The target population for the portion of the project to be funded by the City of South San Francisco is low-income
South San Francisco residents who are victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault. BayLegal focuses its

14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
BayLegal's Domestic Violence Legal Safety Net Project is a current, ongoing project. BayLegal will sucessfully
meet the first annual goals as set out in this application by 6/30/2015. BayLegal has a long history of administering
CDBG funding throughout various Bay Area counties and closely monitors the provision of services and related
expenses on an ongoing basis to ensure timely expenditure of CDBG funds.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
BayLegal uses both quantitative and qualitative data to evaluate project performance. Staff collects extensive
statistical data, including: number of clients assisted; number of services requested/ provided; number of
restraining orders prepared and granted; demographic data such as gender, ethnicity, language, age, income,
children in the home, disability, relationship to the batterer, and citizenship; time spent on each case; and case
outcome. Staff also collects client satisfaction and feedback surveys and conducts periodic focus groups. All data is
analyzed and used to make changes and improvements to the program. The Managing Attorney of BayLegal's San
Mateo County Office also monitors and evaluates all cases at weekly staff case review meetings.
In the 2012-2013 program year, BayLegal achieved 140% of annual goal for its San Mateo County CDBG grant
and 97% of annual goal for its South San Francisco CDBG grant. Outcomes for clients in the 2012-2013 grant year
were life-changing, and included: securing needed protective orders for domestic violence/sexual assault/stalking
survivors, securing child custody to keep children with the safe and stable parent, preserving parental rights,
securing child and spousal support orders to ensure financial stability for families, obtaining divorces to terminate
dangerous relationships, obtaining U-visas/work permits/green cards for immigrant abuse survivors, increased
access to health and public benefits to ensure families' stability and well-being, stopped debt collection harassment
associated with domestic financial abuse, and more. Staff also received extensive positive feedback for the
Domestic Violence Restraining Order Clinic in 2012-2013. To date, in the 2013-2014 program year, BayLegal is at
71% of annual goal for San Mateo County CDBG and 41% of goal for South San Francisco CDBG.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
BayLegal collaborates with many local agencies to streamline services and best meet the comprehensive needs of
its clients. BayLegal co-counsels and maintains cross-referral relationships with local legal aid programs including
Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach, Legal Aid Society of San Mateo, Community Legal Services of East Palo
Alto, and CORA. BayLegal also works with local county social service providers including transitional housing
programs, counseling agencies, food banks, community service centers, the Court, the County Sheriffs Office,
Family Court Services, Child Protective Services, the Probation Department, and the District Attorneys office to
strengthen the network of services and resources available to assist victims of domestic violence.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
CDBG funding from the four jurisdictions will enable BayLegal to leverage its other project funding and provide
consistent services for domestic violence victims throughout the county. Without CDBG funding, and continued
support from its other grants, BayLegal may need to reduce both direct legal services and the services available
through the Clinic. BayLegal invests a significant portion of its unrestricted revenues to support the proposed
project. However, with cuts in federal, state and local grants, should BayLegal not receive CDBG funding, the
organization will be forced to re-examine the feasibility of maintaining the project at current service levels.
18. Project Beneficiaries/Quantifiable Measurement: Indicate the expected number of beneficiaries to be served
by the program. For each response below please indicate both the number of households and number of
individuals. Refer to the San Mateo County Income Limits.

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative
outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
In light of each jurisdiction's population statistics versus BayLegal's client service data, the project could increase
services to members of the Asian community. BayLegal will continue to target outreach towards organizations
serving the Asian and South Asian communities. Select brochures and information have already been translated
into Chinese and Vietnamese, in response to the needs of the larger Asian populations in the county.
BayLegal does not specifically target outreach to the Caucasian community, as all outreach materials are provided
in English, among other languages, and all staff speak English.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
BayLegal's development team has a successful track record of securing grant dollars to support the Domestic
Violence Legal Safety Net Project. BayLegal is seeking funding support from all four open CDBG jurisdictions in
order to maintain services for the target population. Funding from each individual CDBG jurisdiction helps show
private and public funders in the region that the community supports the provision of legal services to DV survivors
and understands how important these services are in helping abuse victims establish safety and stability. Additional
secured sources of revenue for the project include federal DOJ funding through a sub-grant with the County
Sheriff's Office, the Superior Court of San Mateo County, the Kaiser Permanente Foundation, Verizon Wireless,
and unrestricted funding from the Legal Services Corporation. BayLegal will also be submitting requests for funding
of the project to several private regional funders.

3. Program Outcomes: In what ways has your program made a difference in the lives of the people you serve?
Please provide at least one concrete example from the people served in FY/13:
Magdalena* is a monolingual Spanish-speaker, whose Multiple Sclerosis has advanced to the point where she is
wheelchair-bound and can only speak single syllable words such as 'si' or 'no'. She has been virtually homebound
since 2010, with her MS worsening significantly in the past few years. For years, Magdalena was reliant on her
abusive husband for care. Her abuser was physically violent to Magdalena, in addition to being medically
negligent by not taking her to see her doctors. Not long ago, Magdalena finally ended her marriage to the abuser
and moved into her mother's house.

Magdalena soon learned that ending abusive relationships can be extremely difficult and dangerous. Her ex-
husband showed up at her mother's house demanding something that he claimed he had left there. Magdalena's
abuser pulled out a gun and aimed it at her mother, declaring that he would kill both her mother and her dog if he
didn't get his papers. After threatening them at gunpoint and promising to be back, he finally left.
Magdalena and her mother were scared for their lives and came to Bay Area Legal Aid's Domestic Violence
Restraining Order Clinic the next day. Through the Clinic, Magdalena successfully filed for and received a
restraining order to keep herself and her mother safe from harm. Magdalena and her mother are relieved to be
free from the threat of violence, and able to focus on Magdalena's health going forward.

This proposal requests continued support for CORA's emergency shelters serving survivors of domestic violence
and their children. CORA’s emergency shelters are part of the agency’s overall effort to progressively engage
clients at risk of homelessness. From hotel vouchers through 3-year housing vouchers, CORA prevents
homelessness, providing customized levels of assistance that preserve the most expensive interventions for
households with the most severe barriers to housing success.
Emergency levels of engagement at CORA include emergency hotel vouchers and emergency shelters that
provide up to two months and up to six months of shelter. Beyond emergency levels of engagement, CORA has a
contract with HUD for two years of subsidized housing, a three year contract with the Department of Justice for
transitional housing, and a contract with the County for permanent housing for CORA clients through three year
housing vouchers (much like Section Eight housing).
In between, the initial phone call, shelter/hotel/transitional housing placement and exit, case managers assist
clients as needed by providing: safety resources, emotional support related to trauma, lists of rental vacancies, tips
about how to find an apartment, help negotiating with landlords or friends or family members a person could live
with, and connections to safety net organizations that provide financial assistance for application fees, deposits,
and more.
Through its system of progressive engagement (in which emergency shelter is a key part) CORA is able to place
clients based on their individual needs and provide tailored resources for those who have longer term needs AND
those who have shorter term needs. This is particularly important in addressing the unique and different levels of
need and resources with which each client comes to CORA. By having a richer continuum of options, CORA can
ensure more survivors of domestic violence are effectively AND efficiently served, as clients who will benefit from
longer terms of service will have such an option and those who do not will have access to CORA’s shorter-term
levels of care. This approach ensures CORA can maximize the use of each funding source while clients have the
best opportunity and support they need to rebuild their lives and become self-sufficient.
CDBG grants will support CORA’s shelter staff who provide clients with the support and opportunities they need to
set and attain their goals. A primary goal of CORA's Emergency Shelter staff is to help clients build into their lives
safety and self-sufficiency so they are less likely to need emergency services. Toward this end, all CORA staff use
a trauma-informed model of service, which means incorporating an understanding of the impact of trauma into all
aspects of service. Using a trauma-informed approach provides a proven framework for assisting survivors in
strengthening their own psychological capacities so they can rebuild their lives.

Once clients are in the shelter they have access to a range of services. Together with their CORA client advocate,
clients can choose from a menu of CORA’s services/activities, including:
-Emergency shelter.
-Case Management: short and long-term goal setting with clients.
-Crisis intervention: support & stabilization for victims of domestic violence.
-Systems advocacy: helping clients access services (i.e. housing, health, legal, education, benefits, &
employment).
-Parenting Support: education and information on parenting including one-on-one meetings.
-Individual counseling or group counseling: therapeutic counseling designed to help clients cope with the trauma of
domestic violence and address mental health issues.
-Legal Advocacy and Representation: safety net of legal services to help victims with filing restraining orders and
related family law matters; provide court accompaniment, advocacy and representation; and make referrals where
appropriate. CORA’s legal team also operates the Legal Hotline, which provides domestic violence related legal
advice.
-Child Watch: child watch provided so parents can attend their on-site groups, counseling and individual case
management appointments.
-Food program: food, grocery gift certificates, assistance with connecting to food programs that stretch limited
funds (i.e., CalFresh, CalWORKs, CAP, GA, the produce truck through Samaritan House and Second Harvest),
assistance with filling out relevant forms and making referrals to access such programs.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
--90% of CORA's Emergency Shelter Program clients will receive referrals to services that will help them achieve
greater self-sufficiency.
--90% of clients served through the shelter will exit with safety plans so they know how to keep themselves and
their families safe.
--80% of clients that complete the shelter program will transition to safe, alternative housing.
13A. Assessment of Need - Redwood City: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for
each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Our target population to be served are victims and survivors of domestic violence, including the children of those
who have been subjected to domestic violence. Our clients are San Mateo County residents. Domestic violence
continues to be a pervasive social problem impacting all social, economic, and cultural groups and has life-
changing consequences in the lives of victims and their families. One way CORA determines the need by
City/Jurisdiction is through its most recent data on requests for service. For example, during the program year
2012-13, CORA received more than 11,547 calls for domestic violence assistance from San Mateo County
residents, including through our local police departments and legal hotline. Among clients, 12.4% came from
Redwood City. The actual number of residents from specific cities that will ultimately be housed in a CORA shelter
in any given year is dependent on a number of factors outside of CORA's control, including the willingness of the
survivor to leave his/her home for CORA's emergency shelters, openings in the CORA shelters when a resident
from a particular city calls, and the clients need for a CORA shelter. We also look at historical trends at the agency;
understanding the shelter statistics vary from year-to-year, estimates for services are based on a reasonable
assessment of these factors. The results of these considerations are listed in our answer to question 18.

plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
CORA has operated its Emergency Shelter continuously since 1978, therefore the program will continue into the
new CDBG program year without interruption. As we requested significantly less funding than what it costs to serve
each jurisdiction, we anticipate invoicing for funds within the first two to three quarters for each jurisdiction.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
In general, CORA's goal is to make sure that when someone calls in need, CORA is able to provide appropriate
services. Success is determined by assessing how clients are able to commit to the self-sufficiency and safety plan
they develop with shelter staff and are able to access appropriate resources to move into a safe and secure
environment. Assessments are taken during the intake and when clients exit from the shelter to assess how they
are able to transition to other housing. Relative to the CDBG contracts, we will track the populations served as
listed in our answer to question 18 through our agency's database. CORA's database is an industry standard client
database specifically designed for domestic violence and sexual assault agencies. The program was put into use in
January of 2011 and has improved and simplified the job of collecting and reporting data on the work we do with
our clients. We will track client progress through this database and at least quarterly.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Operating from a desire to provide the best possible support for its clients, CORA works closely with individuals,
other non-profits, government entities, the private sector and coalitions to increase the effectiveness and impact of
its work with clients in the shelter. Highlights of these collaborative efforts include:
COORDINATION WITH OTHER PROVIDERS/COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS: CORA has developed ongoing
partnerships with other agencies, including: local law enforcement (which calls CORA for assistance with every
domestic violence call in the County – many of which result in a direct referral to CORA’s emergency shelter);
Samaritan House (EITC tax preparation, safety net services, medical and dental services); Second Harvest Food
Bank (weekly/monthly food assistance, depending on need); Victim Services of San Mateo County (e.g.,
emergency financial assistance); Job Train (i.e., adult vocational training, after school vocational training);

Consumer Credit Counseling of San Francisco (many victims of domestic violence have been subjected to financial
abuse and are in need of assistance to either establish or rehabilitate their credit record); San Mateo Credit Union
(financial education classes on-site, incentives to participate). All of these collaborative efforts help clients to build
self-sufficiency and to heal from the trauma of domestic violence, which makes the shelter a place where healing
and progress for clients begin.
VOLUNTEERS: The volunteer program recruits, trains and supports about 75 volunteers each year.
IN-KIND DONATIONS: CORA receives a variety of in-kind donations for clients, including food, clothing, household
items (for starting up a new home), tickets to local sporting/theater events, and even community service groups that
have helped put on special small events for clients and have landscaped our new community office in San Mateo.
PARTICIPATION WITH COALITIONS: CORA is part of a larger network of domestic violence agencies named the
California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (CPEDV). In fact, our Director of Programs, Cori Manthorne,
serves on the board of directors for CPEDV. CORA staff also represent us on various County committees
including: the Domestic Violence Council, the Death Review Team, the Legislative Committee, the Legal Process
Committee, Coordinated Response Committee, and the Continuum of Care Steering Committee. CORA is also part
of the County’s “Continuum of Care” group that works on issues related to housing homeless.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
Clients coming to CORA for services since 2008 have exhibited a higher degree of need than previously, such as
requiring more mental health services for post-traumatic stress. With five years of this trend completed -- and
barring any unforeseen large-scale and enduring improvements to the economy -- it seems we are experiencing
the “new normal.” Many clients report they have chosen to stay in homes where they were subjected to domestic
violence due to financial considerations (e.g., needing two salaries to make ends meet or not being able to secure
a job in this economic climate.) Consequently, by the time they come to CORA for services, they are in dire
circumstances that require quicker responses, longer term services and a more complex array of services.
Without receiving these CDBG funds, consequences could include reducing shelter staff hours for services such as
on-site mental health counseling. Given the impact of the continuing financial challenges in the public and private
sectors, the demand for CORA's services continues to exceed the agency’s capacity to provide beds for all who
request it while funding has become more difficult to secure and in some cases has decreased. In addition, we
have heard from certain foundations of their intention to reduce funding levels for safety net services as they have
given at a rate higher than they can sustain and must now return to a lower level of giving. The combination of
decreased foundation funding, threatened cuts in other government contracts and a void created by a potential loss
or reduction of CDBG funding could trigger cuts at CORA that would pose an obstacle for the agency to provide
comprehensive crisis intervention services that result in a family’s ability to attain self-sufficiency.

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative
outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
CORA uses a range of outreach strategies to reach the diverse population of San Mateo County including
distributing and/or displaying pamphlets/posters in public places such as bus stops, community centers, doctors'
offices, courthouses, and legal aide agencies. CORA's community education team conducts presentations,
workshops, and tables events in a variety of community settings around the County. CORA's bilingual website
provides resources and contact information to its bilingual support groups and other programs.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
CORA depends upon a broad base of support from a variety of city and county agencies, grants from foundations
and corporations, and individual donations to maintain its services, including CORA’s Client Services Program.
Several CORA funders require a local match to qualify for grants. In addition, we partner with several state and
federal agencies to cover costs of our programs. CORA has been successful in the past at leveraging funds from

the County of San Mateo, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and the Department of Justice. We expect
continued support from these sources. Local support is critical to CORA to qualify for other government and private
support. About half of the funding CORA requires for this program is already committed for 2014-15. About another
third of the funding needed is out for consideration – including this request – and is expected to yield needed
support. The balance of funds are still to be raised.
Concerning CORA’s fundraising efforts, the agency has recently retooled its Development Department to now
include a full-time Director of Development and Communications, Grants & Contracts Officer, Development Officer
and Development & Communications Associate. Our Director of Development is responsible for the overall
functioning of the Development Department and also carries responsibility for identifying and cultivating major
donors (i.e., $5,000 and up) and corporate donors. Our Development Officer is responsible for annual appeals,
house parties, donor “membership club”, in-kind donations, and donations from service and faith based
organizations. Our Development & Communications Associate is responsible for marketing, social networking
tools, collateral materials, events and new donor acquisition. Our Grants & Contracts Officer is responsible for
researching and writing all grant proposals and related reports for funders. Working with the Finance Department,
Finance Committee of the Board and Development Committee of the Board, the Development Department sets the
overall annual fundraising goals and sets the strategy to reach those goals, given the agency’s resources. Together
with the Development Department, active Board of Directors and in liaison with the Executive Director all engage in
diverse fundraising activities to raise funds from a variety of sources including foundations, corporations, individual
donors, special events, state and local government agencies, and through in-kind donations of goods and services.

HOM-2: Support existing emergency shelter facilities and programs.
2. Marketing/Advertising
a. Check all of the following methods your agency utilizes to promote and advertise your programs and services:
Flyers/brochures
Website
CIP (Handbook/Database)
Outreach presentations to service providers
Outreach presentations to public
b. Which of the above marketing/advertising materials are available in multi-langual form and which languages are
they available in?
Our flyers/brochures and outreach presentations to service providers and the public are provided in both Spanish
and English. The presentations are provided in English or Spanish, depending on the needs of the group
requesting our presentation.
c. How and where are the materials distributed?
Materials are distributed through CORA’s family of partners (some of whom are identified above in our answer to
question 16.) Another main way of distributing materials is through San Mateo County's Kaiser facilities. As Kaiser
is committed to ending domestic violence, it stocks CORA’s brochures in its facilities and partners very closely
with CORA in providing outreach to its staff about domestic violence and CORA’s services.
3. Program Outcomes: In what ways has your program made a difference in the lives of the people you serve?
Please provide at least one concrete example from the people served in FY/13:
The first time Sandy* called our Hotline it was after an altercation with her spouse; she needed a safe place to
stay for the night to decide what to do. CORA provided a hotel for night, however Sandy decided she wanted to
give her relationship another try and keep her family intact, so she declined and returned to her home.
The second time Sandy contacted us she was afraid for her safety and needed a safe place. She moved into the
shelter but was still not sure if she made the right choice. She reported she “did not want to deprive her children
from seeing their father.” After being with CORA for a few weeks she decided to go back home. Her Client
Advocate created a safety plan and assured her CORA would continue to be here to provide support via hotline
and mental health services. If she ever felt the need for a safe place to stay she could always return to the shelter.
A few weeks later Sandy contacted CORA a third time. Another violent incident resulted in her spouse being
arrested. Sandy worked diligently with her advocate to secure other means of income, childcare, and housing.
Sandy was also able to get mental health support to deal with her trauma symptoms. Sandy stayed at CORA for 8
weeks before securing a transitional housing opportunity. Sandy has shown the decision to leave an abusive
relationship is a difficult one and having a supportive Advocate can help begin the process of becoming self-
sufficient and self-reliant.

CDBG National Objective Eligibility - How are you serving low income populations?
Service to low income clients verified through income documentation.
Income Verification: Describe how you obtain, verify, and maintain proof of income and presumed benefit status.
Third party documentation or client signatures on the certification forms must be available on file for review at all
times.
The question is how do we know if the person is eligible. On the permission forms we ask for the parents to
provide their insurance information. We verify with their insurance carrier if they are still enrolled. If not, and if they
are otherwise eligible, our accompanying support staff can assist the family in the re/enrollment process. If no
insurance alternatives are available only then we would then use the City or County CDBG funds to cover the
procedures. To verify income we will use the appropriate City or County Verification Forms to determine eligibility
forms while concurrently helping them enroll in an appropriate insurance program These materials will be available
to review at any time.

12. Project Specific Narrative: Provide a narrative description of the specific activities to be carried out with the
requested funds. This should also include program objectives and key priorities for each specific jurisdiction.
Summary: Health Mobile provides dental services at school sites through a self-contained, state-of-the art, full-
service dental clinic in a specially made 40-foot motor home. Health Mobile pre-screens students to determine their
dental needs. Health Mobile provides follow-up services on the students who
were screened. Patients will receive dental cleaning, preventive dental procedures, x-rays, and oral hygiene
instructions. Dental procedures will include, as
necessary, fillings, root canal treatments, extractions, crowns, sealants, bridges, partials, oral surgery, space
maintainers, and sports guards. Health Mobile staff will
emphasize prevention techniques and schedule patients for preventive treatment every six months until they
graduate from the school. Parents will sign a consent
form and complete a medical history form on their children prior to treatment. Services will be available to
uninsured students and their family members.
Therefore the Health Mobile proposes to serve 980 children who lack dental insurance coverage. Of these children
210 will be residents of Redwood City; 210, residents of the City of San Mateo; 210, residents of the City of South
San Francisco; and the remaining 350, residents of unincorporated areas of the County or residing in non-
entitlement cities. Leveraging other funds we will be able to serve a total of 4,900 children in our county.
To accomplish this effort the Health Mobile has a fleet of 7 mobile clinics—the largest fleet in California.
These proposals are modeled after the program we currently operate in South San Francisco. A similar proposal
will be submitted to Daly City next year during their funding cycle. If successful in pursuing these respective grants
the Health Mobile will be able to provide mobile dental service to the entire county's low-income areas.
These projects that Redwood City, San Mateo City, South San Francisco and San Mateo County are being asked
to fund will increase access to and provide high quality oral health services, and help connect eligible populations
to available local, state and federal resources --in particular government funded/subsidized insurance programs.
We will do extensive outreach to our target populations to provide the children the oral health services--made
accessible by serving children right at school.
The services the Health Mobile provides for this grant are listed below
1. Dental Check up of children including Dental Exam and X-rays.
2. Development of treatment plans.
3. Preventative Dental Treatments: Provide comprehensive dental care, including preventative services such as
sealant, prophylaxis, cleaning, oral hygiene, and nutrition oral health education.
4. Restorative Dental Treatments: Based on the diagnostic care, provide restorative treatments such as fillings,
extractions, root canals and crowns. Emergency appointments would be available.
Expected outcomes:
1. 95% of students will experience no tooth decay as measured by clinical records
2. 90% of students will establish a healthy oral hygiene routine as measured by self-reporting and clinical records.
3. Each student’s visit to the Health Mobile will produce increased self-worth, a bright smile, and an increased
sense of self-esteem as measured by questionnaires and direct observation-we expect a 90% positive rating on
these factors.
Our efforts are concentrated at schools throughout the region and we usually are present at a school from 9 AM to
3 PM and up to 5 PM with after-patient care tasks. We work with all levels of students attending pre-K schools,

elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and alternative education high schools. Within the high schools
we usually start with the senior class and those students who are at most risk of dropping out. Most of these
schools are classified as Title I schools (schools with a high-level of poverty as indicated by parental
socioeconomic levels and student levels of eligibility for free or reduced lunches).
To save travel time back and forth, we stay in a neighborhood (usually a week or two up to a month at a time) until
the patient population is served.
Discussion concerning specific jurisdictions
City of Redwood City: Over the past thirteen years the Health Mobile (formerly known as the Tooth Mobile) have
been screening and treating children at Redwood City Elementary School District schools—putting a smile on their
faces! Many of these visits have been in collaboration with the Region I Migrant Office of Education. The regional
office’s staff help identify students for whom we should provide dental interventions. These interventions are most
often at the district’s Title I schools. Many of our school visits involve children whose families live in North Fair
Oaks.
City of San Mateo: In the past we have received funds from California First 5 to serve children ages 2-5 at state-
subsidized child care facilities in your city. For this proposal our target group is children residing in designated high
poverty areas as shown in the city planning maps, notably along the Delaware Street Corridor near Martin Luther
King and Gateway Parks (though some of the children may attend schools outside the mapped area, such as San
Mateo High School). We will obtain the addresses of the children and match them to the target area as per city
instructions on this matter as concerns grant requirements.
City of South San Francisco: The Health Mobile has been visiting schools throughout the South San Francisco
Unified School District since 2003. With our current CDBG funding to cover treatments for the uninsured we were
able to serve many more of the Denti-Cal eligible children who would otherwise not have any access to dental care.
San Mateo County: Since the early 2000’s the Health Mobile has provided dental to children and other family
members living in Brisbane/Bayview. Pacifica, San Bruno, Half Moon Bay, Pescadero, North Fair Oaks, La Honda,
East Palo Alto, and East Menlo Park. Service sites include schools and community centers in these communities.
One of our most interesting collaborations with the medical team from Stanford that used a mobile clinic
(affectionately called the “Mommy Bus”) to provide care to pregnant women and mothers living in East Palo Alto
and the eastern parts of Menlo Park. Health Mobile would park next to their clinic and treat any oral health
conditions the women might have based on the MD’s referral.
13A. Assessment of Need - Redwood City: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for
each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
To briefly restate for the City of Redwood City: Over the past thirteen years the Health Mobile (formerly known as
the Tooth Mobile) have been screening and treating children at Redwood City Elementary School District
schools—putting a smile on their faces! Many of these visits have been in collaboration with the Region I Migrant
Office of Education. The regional office’s staff help identify students for whom we should provide dental
interventions. These interventions are most often at the district’s Title I schools. Many of our school visits involve
children whose families live in North Fair Oaks.
The need for dental services among low-income children in Redwood City parallels the need across the State.
According to a 1999 U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, California has the highest percentage of children without
dental insurance in the country. A report of the Dental Health Foundation highlights what happens to children
without access to dental care: “Among school-age children in the U.S., 25% experience 75% of the tooth decay.
That 25% typically represents children who are from economically or socially disadvantaged families, children who
have some type of disabling condition, or children who experience other barriers to preventive and treatment
services.”
Lack of preventive dental care can lead to more serious oral health problems in the future, cause severe pain that
leads to school absences, and contribute to poor self-esteem. We have successfully treated thousands of children
and their families. Here is a testimonial:
“I want to share the story of Angelina with you…Angelina was in a first grade classroom and was struggling socially
and academically…Angelina had several teeth, which had rotted off, and nothing was left except the roots. Dr. P.
proceeded to “fix” Angelina’s mouth and eliminate the on-going pain … Now, Angelina has improved a year and a
half since her visits to Dr. P. …If a child is without pain, we can nurture and teach them.' – D. Esheman. Principal,

Founded in 1999, the Health Mobile’s mission is to relieve pain and suffering from dental and medical ailments, to
increase access to affordable, comprehensive health care; and to increase awareness and preventive education for
underserved populations. We operate 7 mobile health units. Our mobile units provide care at schools, community
centers, and migrant camps throughout Northern California wherever the underserved live and congregate. Each of

our mobile units is a 40’ long clinic on wheels with two fully functional operatory dental chairs and one medical
examination room. More than one mobile unit can serve the cities at one time given the flexibility of our fleet. Not
only do these units serve as our clinics, they are huge billboards that attract a great deal of attention—displaying
our logo and those of our sponsors (such as your city)!
Up until 2008, most of our services were provided to children of the underserved with therapeutic oral health and
prevention. Since then we have provided onsite medical and dental services and provided referrals to local
providers for treatment of more complex conditions. Hence the name change from Tooth Mobile to Health Mobile
A preliminary assessment of students at a San Mateo County school district (South San Francisco) indicated that
most of the young people had never seen a dentist. Of the 164 students pre-screened for this survey, 100%
required follow-up dental care. For example, 89% needed four or more fillings, 16% needed root canals (because
cavities have not been filled), and 12% needed at least one extraction. According to information released by the
Coalition for Oral Health, based on a Center for Disease Control report, every dollar invested in preventive dental
care saves between $8 and $50 in more costly care. Therefore, the dollar impact of a $15,000 CDBG grant will
range from $120,000 to $750,000.
For the City of Redwood City we will be collaborating with the Redwood City Elementary School District and
Sequoia UHSD. We have an existing MOU in place with the District. The schools in the greatest need are in the
areas identified by the respective cities through their planning and community input processes—in the case of
Redwood City, students mostly residing near the CalTrain line and south into the North Fair Oaks area. A major
indicator is if a school is classifed as a Title I school, In the District, 13 of the 17 schools in the district are Title I,
some of which are under Program Improvement mandates.
* Accessibility is only second to affordability for low-income families in utilizing the health care system. Indeed an
annual report by Delta Dental indicates, that of all the children that have government sponsored dental insurance
only 11% see a dentist. This very low utilization rate is due primarily to lack of transportation. That leaves 89% of
government insured children untreated.
* Health Disparities: Most of the health care providers do not provide care for low-income students due to low fee
reimbursements and high overhead costs (management salaries, rents) and cancellation (non-billable expenses).
Local health care providers also face expensive costs of living. Moreover, there are plenty of insured patients with
PPO and other high pay private insurance. Most importantly for profit organizations are set up to make more
money and more profit. Health Mobile enjoys low overhead and by providing care at school sites we have virtually
no cancellations, thus we can provide professional health care for less and manage to keep the doors open.
* Based on interviews of district officials the status of need for dental services within the District—most notably at
Kennedy Middle School and McKinley Institute of Technology (middle school). We could easily meet our quota for
this grant from these two schools alone.
• About 10-20 percent of the students have no access to insurance
• For those students who have access to insurance such, as Denti-Cal, there are few dentists in the who take
individuals with that type of insurance. Only 4 dentists in Redwood City are taking new patients who have Denti-
Cal. This is a county-wide problem. In addition, families look for a dentist regardless of jurisdiction boundaries.
Hence the following discussion concerning the county as a whole:
Accessing a dentist if you have Medi-Cal’s version of dental insurance, Denti-Cal, can be a challenge. You need to
find dentist who will accept your insurance plan.
How many dentists are available for new patients in San Mateo County? Nineteen. This is the distribution of the 19
dentists accepting new patients with Denti-Cal insurance who practice “General Dentistry” by city: Daly City = 4,
Foster City = 1, Half Moon Bay = 1, Menlo Park = 2, Redwood City = 4, South San Francisco = 3, San Carlos = 1,
San Mateo = 3. In comparison in 2013 the number of dentists taking new pateints was 20, and in 2011 the total
was 27. This represents a 30 % decrease in available dentists in 3 years! By adding our staff to the list Health
Mobile increases the number of dentists taking Denti-Cal county-wide by 10%.
Sources http://www.denti-cal.ca.gov/provreferral/SanMateo.pdf Dated 5/21/2011, 4/6/2013, and 1/18/2014
The reason for the decline may be because of two factors 1) The high cost of operating a dental practice in this
county, and 2) with an improving economy a dentist can find plenty of patients who have private PPO insurance
and thus no need to seek Denti-Cal patients.

San Mateo County CDBG References Concerning the Need for Health Care Services:
This need for health care services is discussed in the 2012 San Mateo County “Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice: for the Jurisdictions of the County of San Mateo and the Cities of Daly City, South San Francisco,
San Mateo, and Redwood City; Volume I Draft Report for Pubic Review and Comment” November 13, 2012 the
following points are relevant for these grant applications to the three cities and the county (Cited by page of the
report):
* Impediment 6: Unequal access to public services such as public transit, health care, and employment services.
The existence of this impediment was suggested in responses to the 2012 Fair Housing Survey and other sources.
2012 Fair Housing Survey respondents indicated that employment services were limited and difficult to access with
public transportation, and geographic analysis of transit routes showed limited availability in some areas. Page 12

* Renters with a severe cost burden are at risk of homelessness. Cost-burdened renters who experience one
financial setback often must choose between rent and food or rent and health care for their families. Similarly,
homeowners with a mortgage who have just one unforeseen financial constraint—such as temporary illness,
divorce, or the loss of employment—may face foreclosure or bankruptcy. Page 61
* Adequate provision of neighborhood services is one element of fair housing choice, in that fair housing options
are increased when desirable services such as good schools or health care are available to all persons, in many
kinds of neighborhoods. Page 107
* In addition, employment and health care services were mentioned as needing additional support; respondents
commented that these services may not be available to many residents due to their location and hours of service.
Page 147
The Health Mobile through its on-site services addresses these issues about access to affordable dental care in the
neighborhoods where children in need reside.
Other services in the community:
San Mateo Medical Center operates several dental clinics in the community (Fair Oaks, Willow, Daly City and San
Mateo). However these fixed site dental clinics pose the same convenience questions as any other fixed site
location. That is the parents must still transport the child to an off-campus location. The County's mobile clinic is
targeted to individuals in the homeless community. Western Dental opened a new clinic at 4100 S El Camino Real
in San Mateoand still operates a clinic in Redwood City.
In some school districts a for-profit organization called 'Big Smiles' serves Medi-Cal eligible students. However the
Health Mobile also serves the uninsured which 'Big Smiles' does not (as indicated by their website). We have
arrangements with some school districts where more than one moblie service operates that minimize overlap.
13B. Assessment of Need - City of San Mateo: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program
for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
To briefly restate for the City of San Mateo: In the past we have received funds from California First 5 to serve
children ages 2-5 at state-subsidized child care facilities in your city. For this proposal our target group is children
residing in designated high poverty areas as shown in the city planning maps, notably along the Delaware Street
Corridor near Martin Luther King and Gateway Parks (though some of the children may attend schools outside the
mapped area, such as San Mateo High School). We will obtain the addresses of the children and match them to
the target area as per city instructions on this matter as concerns grant requirements.

Health Mobile also serves the uninsured which 'Big Smiles' does not (as indicated by their website). We have
arrangements with some school districts where more than one moblie service operates that minimize overlap.
13D. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
To briefly restate for the City of South San Francisco: The Health Mobile has been visiting schools throughout the
South San Francisco Unified School District since 2003. With our current CDBG funding to cover treatments for the
uninsured we were able to serve many more of the Denti-Cal eligible children who would otherwise not have any
access to dental care.
The need for dental services among low-income children in parallels the need across the State. According to a
1999 U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, California has the highest percentage of children without dental insurance in
the country. A report of the Dental Health Foundation highlights what happens to children without access to dental
care: “Among school-age children in the U.S., 25% experience 75% of the tooth decay. That 25% typically
represents children who are from economically or socially disadvantaged families, children who have some type of
disabling condition, or children who experience other barriers to preventive and treatment services.” Lack of
preventive dental care can lead to more serious oral health problems in the future, cause severe pain that leads to
school absences, and contribute to poor self-esteem. We have successfully treated thousands of children and their
families. Here is a testimonial:
“I want to share the story of Angelina with you…Angelina was in a first grade classroom and was struggling socially
and academically…Angelina had several teeth, which had rotted off, and nothing was left except the roots. Dr. P.
proceeded to “fix” Angelina’s mouth and eliminate the on-going pain … Now, Angelina has improved a year and a
half since her visits to Dr. P. …If a child is without pain, we can nurture and teach them.' – D. Esheman. Principal,
Covillaud ES, Marysville JUSD
Founded in 1999, the Health Mobile’s mission is to relieve pain and suffering from dental and medical ailments, to
increase access to affordable, comprehensive health care; and to increase awareness and preventive education for
underserved populations. We operate 7 mobile health units. Our mobile units provide care at schools, community
centers, and migrant camps throughout Northern California wherever the underserved live and congregate. Each of
our mobile units is a 40’ long clinic on wheels with two fully functional operatory dental chairs and one medical
examination room. More than one mobile unit can serve the cities at one time given the flexibility of our fleet. Not
only do these units serve as our clinics, they are huge billboards that attract a great deal of attention—displaying
our logo and those of our sponsors (such as your city)!
Up until 2008, most of our services were provided to children of the underserved with therapeutic oral health and
prevention. Since then we have provided onsite medical and dental services and provided referrals to local
providers for treatment of more complex conditions. Hence the name change from Tooth Mobile to Health Mobile
A preliminary assessment of students at South San Francisco Unified indicated that most of the young people had
never seen a dentist. Of the 164 students pre-screened for this survey, 100% required follow-up dental care. For
example, 89% needed four or more fillings, 16% needed root canals (because cavities have not been filled), and
12% needed at least one extraction.
According to information released by the Coalition for Oral Health, based on a Center for Disease Control report,
every dollar invested in preventive dental care saves between $8 and $50 in more costly care. Therefore, the dollar
impact of a $15,000 CDBG grant will range from $120,000 to $750,000.
For South San Francisco our collaborative partner will be South San Francisco USD. Over the years we have
visited every school in the District—and look to continue that realtionship.
* Accessibility is only second to affordability for low-income families in utilizing the health care system. Indeed an
annual report by Delta Dental indicates, that of all the children that have government sponsored dental insurance
only 11% see a dentist. This very low utilization rate is due primarily to lack of transportation. That leaves 89% of
government insured children untreated.
* Health Disparities: Most of the health care providers do not provide care for low-income students due to low fee
reimbursements and high overhead costs (management salaries, rents) and cancellation (non-billable expenses).
Local health care providers also face expensive costs of living. Moreover, there are plenty of insured patients with
PPO and other high pay private insurance. Most importantly for profit organizations are set up to make more
money and more profit. Health Mobile enjoys low overhead and by providing care at school sites we have virtually
no cancellations, thus we can provide professional health care for less and manage to keep the doors open.
* Based on interviews of district officials the status of need for dental services within the districts:
• About 10-20 percent of the students have no access to insurance
• For those students who have access to insurance such, as Denti-Cal, there are few dentists in South San
Francisco take individuals with that type of insurance.
Only 3 dentists in South San Francisco are taking new patients who have Denti-Cal. This is a county-wide problem.
In addition, families look for a dentist regardless of jurisdiction boundaries. Hence the following discussion
concerning the county as a whole:
Accessing a dentist if you have Medi-Cal’s version of dental insurance, Denti-Cal, can be a challenge. You need to

find dentist who will accept your insurance plan.
How many dentists are available for new patients in San Mateo County? Nineteen. This is the distribution of the 19
dentists accepting new patients with Denti-Cal insurance who practice “General Dentistry” by city: Daly City = 4,
Foster City = 1, Half Moon Bay = 1, Menlo Park = 2, Redwood City = 4, South San Francisco = 3, San Carlos = 1,
San Mateo = 3. In comparison in 2013 the number of dentists taking new pateints was 20, and in 2011 the total
was 27. This represents a 30 % decrease in available dentists in 3 years! By adding our staff to the list Health
Mobile increases the number of dentists taking Denti-Cal county-wide by 10%. The reason for the decline may be
because of two factors 1) The high cost of operating a dental practice in this county, and 2) with an improving
economy a dentist can find plenty of patients who have private PPO insurance and thus no need to seek Denti-Cal
patients.

San Mateo County CDBG References Concerning the Need for Health Care Services:
This need for health care services is discussed in the 2012 San Mateo County “Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing Choice: for the Jurisdictions of the County of San Mateo and the Cities of Daly City, South San Francisco,
San Mateo, and Redwood City; Volume I Draft Report for Pubic Review and Comment” November 13, 2012 the
following points are relevant for these grant applications to the three cities and the county (Cited by page of the
report):
* Impediment 6: Unequal access to public services such as public transit, health care, and employment services.
The existence of this impediment was suggested in responses to the 2012 Fair Housing Survey and other sources.
2012 Fair Housing Survey respondents indicated that employment services were limited and difficult to access with
public transportation, and geographic analysis of transit routes showed limited availability in some areas. Page 12
* Renters with a severe cost burden are at risk of homelessness. Cost-burdened renters who experience one
financial setback often must choose between rent and food or rent and health care for their families. Similarly,
homeowners with a mortgage who have just one unforeseen financial constraint—such as temporary illness,
divorce, or the loss of employment—may face foreclosure or bankruptcy. Page 61
* Adequate provision of neighborhood services is one element of fair housing choice, in that fair housing options
are increased when desirable services such as good schools or health care are available to all persons, in many
kinds of neighborhoods. Page 107
* In addition, employment and health care services were mentioned as needing additional support; respondents
commented that these services may not be available to many residents due to their location and hours of service.
Page 147
The Health Mobile through its on-site services addresses these issues about access to affordable dental care in the
neighborhoods where children in need reside.
Other services in the community:
San Mateo Medical Center operates several dental clinics in the community (Daly City, Fair Oaks, Willow and San
Mateo). However these fixed site dental clinics pose the same convenience questions as any other fixed site
location. That is the parents must still transport the child to an off-campus location. The County's mobile clinic is
targeted to individuals in the homeless community. Western Dental opened a new clinic in San Mateo and also has
offices in San Francisco.
In some school districts a for-profit organization called 'Big Smiles' serves Medi-Cal eligible students. However the
Health Mobile also serves the uninsured which 'Big Smiles' does not (as indicated by their website). We have
arrangements with some school districts where more than one moblie service operates that minimize overlap.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
Our program is a collaborative effort between participating schools and our team.
July-September 2014 Meet with districts and schools to determine school site visits for the academic year. Review
and update/modify MOUs as required
September-November 2014:Dental assessment of students
November-December,2014:Dental Treatment
Feb.-June 2015 Dental Treatment and six month follow-up dental check-ups,
Specific school site visits depend on district and specific school vacation, testing and other variable.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Evaluation
1. Following Health Mobile services, students will experience no tooth decay.
2. Each student will establish a healthy oral hygiene routine.
3. Although not as easily measurable, each student’s visit to the Health Mobile will produce increased self-worth, a

bright smile, and an increased sense of self-esteem.
Evaluation measures include:
• Analysis of patient’s progress, data from this analysis will show how many patients follow oral hygiene instructions
and are free of tooth decay. Health Mobile will evaluate oral hygiene every six months. The data source is
• Follow up surveys: Staff conducts six-month follow up surveys of patients who have received dental treatment.
• There will be presentations of the “analysis of patient’s progress” and “follow up surveys” at staff meetings.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
We are a member of the San Mateo County Oral Health Care Initiative, which is made up of major providers, the
San Mateo Dental Society, San Mateo Medical Center's Dental Clinics, School District representatives, First 5 and
others. We have worked with the school districts we plan to serve with these grants on prior projects as well as with
the Region I Office of Migrant Education, California First 5, and others. We partner with the various school districts
and schools within the districts. As needed we enter in MOU’s with each district and customize our procedures to
meet the unique requirements of each district. As needed, we redo MOU’s and other agreements as district or
school requirements evolve.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
As the Affordable Care Act comes into full operation, more families will have insurance and the option to purchase
affordable dental insurance. Depending on how eligibility requirements, deductions and provider payment models
are structured this change in insurance availability could reduce the number of uninsured children and therefore the
need for these CDBG funds in future years.
We will provide dental care to low-income children of Redwood City, South San Francisco, San Mateo, and San
Mateo County without which we are not able to provide for them.
If we did not have these funds we could still offer fee-for-service programs at the schools and provide some limited
support for the uninsured.
Untreated dental disease can lead to other complications--ncluding heart disease and death from infection.

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative
outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
Since this program targets children in families living in or close to poverty conditions, all our outreach efforts are
structured with this goal in mind. For outreach we prefer employ parents or other local community groups and
leaders to help put the word out—especially in hard to reach communities. People in and of the community are
best!
Much as we prefer working with community volunteers, current health care regulations can make using volunteers
exclusively rather complicated.
For initial stages of recruiting children for the dental treatments, the outreach effort can be by community
volunteers. However, once the child “enters” our system of care, typically when the parent signs the permission
from and fills out the child’s health information, HIPAA privacy rules come into effect. Because of th HIPAA
requirements, the outreach person either needs to be employed by the district or the Health Mobile and have had
training on the law’s requirements.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.

Health Mobile is very well received by individuals, community, public and private organizations. As such we
receive financial support from local and national foundations and government agencies. State of California is our
major financial supporter.
For example CVS Foundation gave us funds to purchase the two portable dental units that will used on this project.
If a child is in a wheelchair we can set up the unit and treat the child without leaving her or his chair.
The other leverage is from the fee-for-service payments for children (not covered by this grant) who have insurance
but cannot find a dentist to treat their oral health issues. We contact the insurer (usually Denti-Cal) for approval of
the proposed dental procedures. We go to the school and perform the dental procedures (fillings, root canal, etc.).
Typically the children are treated on a class by class basis and not “separated” by insurance coverage or otherwise
“singled-out.” We collect after the service is performed.
As about 80% of the children have some type of dental insurance coverage the funds generated would likely total 3
to 4 times the amount pulled from the grant or approximately $50,000 to $70,000 per each city (South SF,
Redwood City, and San Mateo) and $75,000 to $100,000 per the County proposal. This assumes funding at the full
proposed amount.

Please provide at least one concrete example from the people served in FY/13:
In 2012 (Part of FY 12/13) we served 2,506 clients seeking dental treatments, who visited us 5,700 times, during
which visits we performed at least 5,700 separate procedures. All procedures were “charted” into our Electronic
Health Record System and are subject to review by appropriate State and Federal regulators, subject to
constraints of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and.
Accountability Act (HIPAA). The outcome for the child is relief from pain and suffering, better health, likely better
grades, and a happy smile. (See the 2012 Audit for these numbers.)

HIP Housing serves families and individuals all over San Mateo County which includes the Cities of Daly City,
Redwood City, South San Francisco, San Mateo and the County of San Mateo. The agency was founded in 1972
with the mission to invest in human potential by improving the housing and lives of people in our community. The
Home Sharing Program began in 1979 and since then has matched thousands of people in decent, stable,
affordable housing throughout San Mateo County.
To meet the housing needs of San Mateo County’s low income residents, seniors on fixed incomes, persons with
disabilities and single parents with children, HIP Housing’s Home Sharing Program provides access to permanent,
affordable housing. The program matches people with housing to share (providers) with those seeking housing
(seekers), thus reducing the costs for both parties and preventing homelessness. The program also promotes
independence and added security for participants, and enables the workforce to establish sustainable residency in
San Mateo County.
The Home Sharing program utilizes the existing inventory of homes in the area to provide the low-income residents
with safe, permanent, affordable housing. It has proven to be an extremely effective way to address the increased
need for housing within the community.
To accomplish its goals, the Home Sharing Program’s specific activities include:
- Interviewing, screening, and processing of client applications
- Providing housemate referrals, connection to community, and other housing resources
- Matching clients in home sharing arrangements
- Bilingual services including English, Spanish, Cantonese, German, and Tagalog
- Home visits to homebound or hospital bound seniors and persons with disabilities
- Maintain weekly office hours in San Mateo, Redwood City, South San Francisco, and Daly City
- Sign language interpretation facilitated through the Center for the Independence of the Disabled
- Facilitation of Living Together Agreements
- Follow up support with home sharing matched clients including mediation as needed
- Community outreach to raise awareness of the program
- Collaborate with service providers throughout San Mateo County
- Invite home sharing clients to financial literacy workshops conducted by HIP Housing staff
- Referral to HIP Housing’s Self Sufficiency Program and/or Property Development waiting list
Objectives for Fiscal Year 14-15 are as follows:

HIP Housing provides the only Home Sharing Program in San Mateo County, making it both unique and
indispensable. The program is highly respected and has been nationally recognized. It serves as a model for home
sharing programs throughout California, in other States within the U.S. and Internationally. The Home Sharing
Program does not duplicate services offered by other nonprofits but instead leverages its impact by collaborating
with local agencies. The Home Sharing Program provides residents who are seeking affordable housing resources
with a practical long-term solution.

San Mateo County remains one of the nation’s least affordable rental markets, according to Out of Reach, a
nationwide study that determines how much money a household must earn to afford to rent a modest home.
Compiled by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the data reports that a San Mateo County worker would
need to earn $34.52 an hour, or nearly $72,000 annually, to afford the rent for a typical two-bedroom apartment in
the County, putting it out of reach for 57% of the renting population.
The Sustainable San Mateo Report released in 2013 sites that the average rent in San Mateo County increased
sharply in the last two years: +19% for a one-bedroom unit and +21% for a two-bedroom unit.
This is devastating news for anyone looking for affordable rental housing and comes on the heels of other
unsettling trend data for the County. United Way’s 211 referral line for San Mateo County reports taking
significantly more calls for housing related services than for any other service. Additionally, according to the
County’s new Health and Human Services Agency report on homelessness, the County’s homeless rate has risen
12% since 2011.
Unfortunately, with a 97% occupancy rate, inventory for rental housing in San Mateo County has never been lower.
As a result, for those living on a low income, finding affordable housing is virtually impossible.
Families and seniors come to HIP Housing for a variety of reasons, some of the reasons include: 1) trying to find a
less expensive place to live (they are unable to afford their rent); 2) income loss due to divorce; 3) income loss due
to loss of job; 4) job relocation; 5) owner selling the home they are renting a room in; 6) transitional shelter housing
ending; 7) very long commute – seeking housing closer to work; 8) eviction; 9) overcrowded housing; 10) loss of
home due to fire; 11) unreasonable rent increases; 12) poor credit; 13) reduction of income because of retirement
and 14) reduction of income due to new disability.
The people turning to HIP Housing’s Home Sharing program have reached the end of their road with simply
nowhere else to turn. Home Sharing is currently one of the few viable options to seniors and families living in San
Mateo County. The program provides residents who are seeking affordable housing resources with a practical
long-term solution.
The Dire Situation in Redwood City:
The Sustainable San Mateo Report released in 2013 sites that in the City of Redwood City, 45 – 48% of residents
spend more than 30% of their income toward housing. This means that almost 50% of households living in
Redwood City pay at least $3,100 for housing each month. This is especially important because 46% of Redwood
City’s housing are occupied by renters.
The average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in Redwood City is $2,079 (Source: Craigslist, 1/15/14). This is
beyond the means of many residents, especially seniors living on a fixed income, low-income individuals and
families, and persons with disabilities. Unless these community members have an affordable housing option, they
are at risk of becoming homeless, or of being forced to move far from their place of work, creating potentially
serious commuting problems for those who rely on public transportation. The Home Sharing Program enables
people to live near their work, helping to sustain a healthy and stable workforce in the community.

HIP Housing's Home Sharing Program helps City of Redwood City residents find or remain in existing affordable
housing because Home Sharing reduces the cost of housing for both the home provider and the home seeker.
Furthermore, Home Sharing promotes independence, provides security, and increases the availability of affordable
housing in the City of Redwood City. Participants in the Home Sharing Program pay average rents of $650 per
month versus the average rent of $2,079 for a one bedroom apartment in the City of Redwood City. The Home
Sharing Program also arranges service exchanges, in which one person provides services, such as cooking,
cleaning, and companionship, for seniors and/or persons with disabilities, in exchange for lower or no rent.
How Home Sharing Benefits Redwood City Residents:
During FY 2012-2013, 316 Redwood City residents contacted HIP Housing to inquire about housing and housing
services. Telephone counseling was conducted and callers were provided information and resources to develop a
plan to address their housing needs as well as obstacles that made it difficult for them to obtain housing.
Also during FY 2012-2013, 221 Redwood City Households in identified census tracks were interviewed and
provided with housing information, home sharing referrals, and community resource information. These clients
were personally interviewed by a HIP Housing Home Sharing Coordinator either in their home or at one of HIP
Housing’s offices. An application was completed and processed for the clients. 85% percent were homeless or at-
risk of homelessness, 44% were disabled and 69% had incomes at or below poverty level.
During the last Fiscal Year, HIP Housing reported the placement of 18 low-income, census eligible Redwood City
households in identified census tracks in housing arrangements. Of these households, 67% had incomes at or
below poverty, 56% were female heads of households, and 39% were disabled, and 39% were seniors. The
Redwood City seekers matched in shared housing had an average income of $17,697. Before home sharing, they
were spending 57% of their incomes on housing. After being matched through the home sharing program, they
spent 40% of their income on housing.
The Redwood City Providers matched in shared housing had an average income of $30,784. Prior to home
sharing, the Home Providers were spending about 70% of their incomes on housing costs. After finding a
housemate, they spent 40% of their incomes on housing.
HIP Housing's Home Sharing Program addresses the priorities of the City of Redwood City by providing low and
moderate income people with housing, and meets a critical need during these harsh financial times. The Program
is one of the only resources for access to permanent affordable housing for Redwood City residents.
Assists in the Rapid Re-Housing Initiatives:
58% of the clients seeking housing who were matched in home sharing Countywide in FY 2012-2013 were
homeless or at-risk of homelessness. HIP Housing’s Home Sharing program has all the mechanisms in place to
assist with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Rapid Re-housing Program. HUD’s
efforts to provide short- and medium-term assistance, relocation, and stabilization services to prevent at-risk
residents from becoming homeless and those who are experiencing homelessness to be re-housed and stabilized
is complemented by the Home Sharing Program’s services which aim to provide affordable housing through
creating home sharing matches.
Furthermore, Home Sharing counselors also provide extra services that help with reducing a client’s housing costs
and allow them to avoid homelessness or allow homeless clients to be re-housed. These include: 1) refer clients to
resources to assist them with moving costs and paying back rent, if needed; 2) distribute applications for PG&E
CARE Program to reduce energy costs; and 3) provide clients with financial literacy workshops that coach
individuals on money management, increasing savings, using credit wisely, and careful budgeting.

The Dire Situation in The City of San Mateo:
The Sustainable San Mateo Report released in 2013 sites that in the City of San Mateo, 37 – 41% of residents
spend more than 30% of their income toward housing. This means that almost 41% of households living in San
Mateo pay at least $3,542 for housing each month.
The average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in San Mateo is $1,947 (Source: Craigslist, 1/15/14). This is beyond
the means of many residents, especially seniors living on a fixed income, low-income individuals and families, and
persons with disabilities. Unless these community members have an affordable housing option, they are at risk of

Program also arranges service exchanges, in which one person provides services, such as cooking, cleaning, and
companionship, for seniors and/or persons with disabilities, in exchange for lower or no rent.
How Home Sharing Benefits City of San Mateo Residents:
In FY 2012-2013, 364 San Mateo residents contacted HIP Housing to receive information about housing programs
and resources. 347 residents representing 252 households from San Mateo were interviewed, screened and
provided housing case management and community resource support. The number of residents applying to the
program from FY 11-12 to FY 12-13 increased by 8%. There were an additional 76 households interviewed for the
program who were employed by companies based in San Mateo.
The goal was to place 50 residents in home sharing arrangements in FY 12-13. The goal was exceeded as 58
residents were placed in housing through the program. There were an additional 123 San Mateo residents who
remained in home sharing arrangements during the fiscal who were placed in housing before July 1, 2012.
The average income of San Mateo Home Providers who matched in the program during the fiscal year was
$34,250. Before home sharing, these clients were spending roughly 62% of their incomes on housing costs. After
finding a housemate, they ended up spending 38% of their income on housing.
The average income of San Mateo Home Seekers who were placed with a Home Provider was $31,400. Before
home sharing, these clients were spending 30% of their income on housing costs but after finding a shared housing
arrangement, they ended up spending 28% of their income on housing.
Sixty-six percent of the residents matched in home sharing were homeless or at-risk of homelessness. Twenty-
seven percent of the matched clients were also disabled and 50% were seniors.
HIP Housing's Home Sharing Program addresses the priorities of the City of San Mateo by providing low and
moderate income people with housing, and meets a critical need during these harsh financial times. The Program
is one of the only resources for access to permanent affordable housing for San Mateo residents.
An example of the need of a target population in the City of San Mateo is illustrated by data from the City of San
Mateo’s 5 year Strategic Plan, which sites seniors’ need for affordable housing. The Strategic Plan states (page
36): “Of the more than 3,600 extremely low income households, more than 50% are seniors… these seniors have
high rates of housing problems: overall 68% of these households have some kind of burden, primarily cost burden.”
Therefore, unless these seniors and other community members have an affordable housing option, they are at risk
of becoming homeless, or of being forced to relocate far from their workplace and/or family, friends, and long-term
support networks. Residents who are integral to our communities, such as teachers, service workers, and many
others, are being forced to live in outlying areas and commute long distances to work. The Home Sharing Program

How Home Sharing Benefits the Residents of San Mateo County
During the Fiscal Year 2012-2013, 3,073 calls were received Countywide by residents who needed information
about housing programs and resources. 489 households residents representing 622 County residents were
interviewed, screened, and provided housing case management and community resource support. The number of
residents applying to the program from FY 11-12 to FY 12-13 increased by 10%.
106 income eligible County residents were placed in home sharing during the fiscal year. 31% were retired; 56%
employed; 8% disabled; 5% had incomes from financial aid, rental income or family support. 170 residents placed
in previous fiscal years remained in their shared housing living arrangements.
The average income of County Home Providers who matched in the program during the fiscal year was $29,553.
Before home sharing they spent an average of 44% of their incomes on housing costs. After matching in home
sharing, they spent 23% of income on housing costs.
The average income of County Home Seekers who were placed with a Home Provider was $27,762. Before home

is one of the only resources for access to permanent affordable housing for San Mateo County residents.
Assists in Rapid Re-Housing Initiatives:
58% of the clients seeking housing who were matched in home sharing Countywide in FY 2012-2013 were
homeless or at-risk of homelessness. HIP Housing’s Home Sharing program has all the mechanisms in place to
assist with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Rapid Re-housing Program. HUD’s
efforts to provide short- and medium-term assistance, relocation, and stabilization services to prevent at-risk
residents from becoming homeless and those who are experiencing homelessness to be re-housed and stabilized
is complemented by the Home Sharing Program’s services which aim to provide affordable housing through
creating home sharing matches.
Furthermore, Home Sharing counselors also provide extra services that help with reducing a client’s housing costs
and allow them to avoid homelessness or allow homeless clients to be re-housed. These include: 1) refer clients to
resources to assist them with moving costs and paying back rent, if needed; 2) distribute applications for PG&E
CARE Program to reduce energy costs; and 3) provide clients with financial literacy workshops that coach
individuals on money management, increasing savings, using credit wisely, and careful budgeting.
13D. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
San Mateo County remains one of the nation’s least affordable rental markets, according to Out of Reach, a
nationwide study that determines how much money a household must earn to afford to rent a modest home.
Compiled by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, the data reports that a San Mateo County worker would
need to earn $34.52 an hour, or nearly $72,000 annually, to afford the rent for a typical two-bedroom apartment in
the County, putting it out of reach for 57% of the renting population.
The Sustainable San Mateo Report released in 2013 sites that the average rent in San Mateo County increased
sharply in the last two years: +19% for a one-bedroom unit and +21% for a two-bedroom unit.
This is devastating news for anyone looking for affordable rental housing and comes on the heels of other
unsettling trend data for the County. United Way’s 211 referral line for San Mateo County reports taking
significantly more calls for housing related services than for any other service. Additionally, according to the
County’s new Health and Human Services Agency report on homelessness, the County’s homeless rate has risen
12% since 2011.
Unfortunately, with a 97% occupancy rate, inventory for rental housing in San Mateo County has never been lower.
As a result, for those living on a low income, finding affordable housing is virtually impossible.
Families and seniors come to HIP Housing for varied reasons, some of the reasons include: 1) trying to find a less
expensive place to live (they are unable to afford their rent); 2) income loss due to divorce; 3) income loss due to
loss of job; 4) job relocation; 5) owner selling the home they are renting a room in; 6) transitional shelter housing
ending; 7) very long commute – seeking housing closer to work; 8) eviction; 9) overcrowded housing; 10) loss of
home due to fire; 11) unreasonable rent increases; 12) poor credit; 13) reduction of income because of retirement
and 14) reduction of income due to new disability.
The people turning to HIP Housing’s Home Sharing program have reached the end of their road with simply
nowhere else to turn. Home Sharing is currently one of the few viable options to seniors and families living in San
Mateo County. The program provides residents who are seeking affordable housing resources with a practical
long-term solution.
The Dire Situation in South San Francisco:
The Sustainable San Mateo Report released in 2013 sites that in the City of South San Francisco, 41 – 45% of
residents spend more than 30% of their income toward housing. This means that almost 45% of households living
in South San Francisco pay at least $3,084 for housing each month.
The average cost of a one-bedroom apartment in South San Francisco is $2,008 (Source: Craigslist, 1/15/14). This
is beyond the means of many residents, especially seniors living on a fixed income, low-income individuals and
families, and persons with disabilities. Unless these community members have an affordable housing option, they
are at risk of becoming homeless, or of being forced to move far from their place of work, creating potentially
serious commuting problems for those who rely on public transportation. The Home Sharing Program enables
people to live near their work, helping to sustain a healthy and stable workforce in the community.
HIP Housing's Home Sharing Program helps South San Francisco residents find or remain in existing affordable
housing because Home Sharing reduces the cost of housing for both the home provider and the home seeker.

Furthermore, Home Sharing promotes independence, provides security, and increases the availability of affordable
housing in the City of South San Francisco. Participants in the Home Sharing Program pay average rents of $650
per month versus the average rent of $2,008 for a one bedroom apartment in the City of South San Francisco. The
Home Sharing Program also arranges service exchanges, in which one person provides services, such as cooking,
cleaning, and companionship, for seniors and/or persons with disabilities, in exchange for lower or no rent.
In Fiscal Year 2012-2013, 142 South San Francisco residents contacted HIP Housing to receive information about
housing programs and resources. 144 representing 108 households from South San Francisco were interviewed,
screened, and provided housing case management and community resources. The number of residents applying to
the program from FY 2011-2012 to FY 2012-2013 increased by 46%. There were an additional 24 households
interviewed for the program who were employed by companies based in South San Francisco. 15% of clients were
underemployed, 45% employed, 17% received disability income, and 23% were receiving social security retirement
benefits. 72% of clients who applied for the Home Sharing program had incomes below or at the poverty level.
The goal was to place 12 residents in home sharing arrangements in FY 2012-2013. The goal was exceeded as 14
residents were placed in housing through the program. An additional 38 South San Francisco residents remained
in home sharing arrangements during the fiscal year who were placed in housing before July 1, 2012.
The average income of a South San Francisco Home Providers who was matched in the program during FY 2012-
2013 was $25,717. Before home sharing, these clients spent roughly 64% of their incomes on housing costs. After
finding a housemate, they would end up spending 36% of their income on housing. The average income of a South
San Francisco home seeker placed with a home provider is $19,557.
67% of residents matched in home sharing were homeless or at-risk of homelessness. Three percent of the
matched clients were also disabled, and 42% were seniors.

15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Goals to date:
The evaluation of the Home Sharing program is based on the following criteria:
1. Total number of households interviewed for Home Sharing
2. Total numbers of households placed in housing
3. Housing affordability (measured by the percentage of income spent on rent before and after the Home Sharing
matched is placed)
4. The duration of the home sharing arrangement
To ensure program success, we track all program information using a database of all clients served and placed in
housing. We also collect demographical info, details on income, and other relevant information. Phone follow-ups
are conducted every three months after a home sharing match is completed, particularly for those involving seniors
and elderly clients.
To date, we have met the following goals:

The following story illustrates how the lives of three San Mateo County residents were significantly affected by HIP
Housing's Home Sharing Program. We have seen many success stories like these replicated throughout the
County. Attached is a copy of some recent stories from Redwood City, South San Francisco, and other
jurisdictions.
Roy and Jane have lived in their San Mateo apartment for over 35 years, when they realized that they could no
longer afford the rent and was in danger of becoming homeless. The owner of the apartment died and his estate
sold the apartment to new owners who raised the rent significantly. To make matters worse, Jane’s brother and
housemate passed away suddenly. The disabled couple started relying on the generosity of friends, organizations
and family to pay the difference of their $1,695 rent and their Social Security benefits, and even help pay for their
food and medication.
When Roy and Jane were first introduced to HIP Housing over a year ago, they were not ready to home share. The
unit needed cleaning and Jane was not ready to let her brother’s things go. Also, the couple did not have the funds
to clean the unit so resources were provided to assist them but it still wasn't enough. Since they had never lived
with others besides their family, they were initially reluctant to home share. HIP Housing's counselor offered to
assist them to apply for units through the Lesley Foundation however they did not want to leave their home of over
35 years. After a period of time, especially after all available avenues to help them offset their housing costs dried
up, they finally decided to find a housemate through the program.
Marc, a Pacifica resident had to quickly look for a place to live since his landlord was selling the home he was
sharing. He also needed to be closer to his job at a home improvement store in Redwood City. Upon meeting Roy
and Jane, Marc had an instant liking to the couple and quickly assured them that he would be able to help. As
promised, Marc was able to find friends and colleagues to volunteer to clear out unwanted items, and clean the
carpet and other areas of the apartment that badly need attention.
In June 2013, Marc moved in. Now, Marc pays $565 a month, saves on transportation costs since he has a shorter
commute to work and pays less than what he was paying before he moved in with Roy and Jane. Roy and Jane
significantly reduced their housing expenses and now have left over funds for food and other personal and medical
needs. Quarterly follow-up calls from their HIP Housing Home Sharing Counselor indicate that Roy and Jane feel
like Marc is a member of their family. He has helped them feel less isolated and stressed about their finances. They
now don't have to worry about losing their home.

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative
outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
HIP Housing’s Home Sharing staff are able to communicate in several languages including Spanish, Tagalog,
Cantonese, and German. Outreach materials are translated into languages common in San Mateo County’s ethnic
communities - namely, Spanish, Tagalog, and Cantonese.
HIP Housing also participates on many networking groups targeting multicultural clients such as the Older Adults
Multicultural Committee, Coastside Collaborative, and Redwood City Interagency Forum. HIP Housing also
conducts Spanish and English presentations at Redwood Family House and Haven House. All of the interns HIP
Housing has hired through the collaboration with Eastside Prep have been Spanish-speaking which enables the
agency to further outreach efforts. Staff also attends multicultural resource events such as through ALLICE
(Alliance for Community Empowerment), Department of Rehabilitation Spanish Resource Fair and other networking
events.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
Due to the elimination of Redevelopment Agencies, the primary funder of affordable housing in the state, cities in
San Mateo County have decreased their contributions to HIP Housing dramatically. In addition, the Silicon Valley
Community Foundation, recently announced that they will be eliminating all funding to their Safety Net Service
granting program after this year. This will be a devastating blow for housing and shelter providers, including HIP
Housing.
To shore up the loss in funding, HIP Housing devised a long-range strategy which includes developing new
revenue streams, reinforcing our individual giving operation, and reducing costs. We have implemented the Fair
Share Campaign which goal is to secure funding from every city in San Mateo County whose residents benefit from
HIP Housing’s program. This year, we are implementing a Moves Management campaign that will strengthen the
process of managing major donor relationships and change people's attitudes so they want to give.
Our unique funding model continues to use earned revenue from property development to cover the organization’s
overhead costs ensuring that every dollar donated to the organization goes directly to programs.

Angie heard about the home sharing program from a friend and she quickly met with a Home Sharing Counselor
who helped her find the perfect housemate. A few weeks later, she met Alan, another senior who also lives on a
fixed income of Social Security. He had been renting a room for some three years but his landlord decided to
move and rent the entire house. Alan was given 60 days to move – Angie found him just in time!
Alan pays Angie $550 a month in rent (which is 26% of his income) and $300 less than what he was paying. The
rent he pays Angie reduces her housing costs to and she now only pays 30% of her income toward housing.
Quarterly follow up calls to Angie and Alan indicate that the match is working out very well.

Service to low income clients verified through income documentation.
Income Verification: Describe how you obtain, verify, and maintain proof of income and presumed benefit status.
Third party documentation or client signatures on the certification forms must be available on file for review at all

We obtain and verify income by an initial screening and through a certification on client in-take forms. The initial
screening is either by phone or by another agency in completing a referral form. Over the phone, we ask for the
household income and the source of the income. Our screening includes questions about the type of employment
and the employer or the type and source of aid being received. Similarly, a referring agency such as a social
worker, headstart teacher, other agency director, school staff, teachers or principals must complete income
information on our referral form. If a potential client's income is within the guidelines, we will schedule an
appointment. Upon arriving for an appointment, a client must complete an intake form and certify his or her income.

11. HUD Activity: Choose the HUD activity that most closely matches your service:
05D - Youth Services
12. Project Specific Narrative: Provide a narrative description of the specific activities to be carried out with the
requested funds. This should also include program objectives and key priorities for each specific jurisdiction.
All funds received by John's Closet will be used to purchase new clothing for needy school children. We distribute
the clothing at our rent-free space at Ben Franklin Middle School. John's Closet is a 100% volunteer program, with
no salaries or fixed costs. All the work is done by about 30 volunteers, who answer the phones, schedule
appointments, assist children at the Closet, keep shelves organized and stocked, mend items, shop for needed
clothing not supplied by in-kind donations, account for documentation, maintain the books and prepare grant
requests.
13A. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
We are addressing the ever-growing needs of low-income families to provide clothing for their children. Our clients
range from single mothers living on TANF, elderly grandparents who have become primary caretakers of their
children's children, and intact families with parents earning very little. After these families pay rent, utilities,
transportation and food, there is very little money left for clothing. The high cost of living in San Mateo County
greatly impacts the number of families needing help to survive. John's Closet is the only program in the area to
provide NEW CLOTHING to needy children. We receive some in-kind donations of new clothes, but we must still
purchase a great deal. This is particularly true given that the GAP has greatly cut back on its donations. Jackets
and shoes are expensive items for families and for us to buy and the prices are going up. The source of our
information on who we serve comes from intake forms and a telephonic screening process we conduct prior to
setting an appointment.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
The money will be spent to purchase NEW CLOTHES as needed to distribute to needy children throughout the
school year. We are open from August through June. Our biggest demand is from August through December.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Our goal is to build self-esteem and to eliminate the alienation and discrimination children feel as school when they
are poorly dressed. Adequate clothing will make them all they belong and enable them to be full participants in the
academic experience. This participation will motivate them to stay in school and reach their full potential. Staying in
school is crucial to preventing involvement in the criminal justice system. Statistics show that 80% of those in jail
dropped out of school. An additional goal is to alleviate the economic pressure and subsequent emotional stress on
poor families by providing NEW CLOTHES for their children.

16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
John's Closet receives referrals from the schools, San Mateo County Health and Human Services Agency,
Headstart, Shelter Network, Edgewood Kinship Program, and various family resource centers.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
These funds are essential to allow us to purchase new clothing for kids. While we sometimes receive in-kind
donations from the GAP, the donations are infrequent and usually limited in size to certain sample sizes. We must
purchase all other sizes and all of the new shoes and new jackets that we distribute. Over one-third of our clients
come from South San Francisco.
18. Project Beneficiaries/Quantifiable Measurement: Indicate the expected number of beneficiaries to be served
by the program. For each response below please indicate both the number of households and number of

For 22 years we develop and use an innovative model including Cultural Affirmation and Restoration of Family
Traditions as key elements where the well-being of the person/family/community is central to the process to provide
bilingual/bicultural health and human services to the Latino Community and others, helping people improve their
quality of life and health.
We are a community-based non-profit health and human services agency which aims to improve the health status
of individuals and in turn improves the health of the community. Our major focus on substance use treatment
responds to the increasing demands of people in need with health and psychosocial issues in addition to those of
substance use disorders. These co-occurring disorders (COD) require comprehensive programs using highly-
trained professional staff to implement complex interventions. Some overall outcomes we expect to achieve each
year for all jurisdictions include:
• reduction in emergency room visits
• increased access and responsible use of health care system
• reduced need for behavioral / program sanctions
• reduction in psychiatric symptoms
• increased community profile of our programs and services
• increased knowledge base of community members
• reduction of mental health stigmas
Entre Familia Project brings together our Mental and Behavioral Health Services for Substance Use, with our
Outpatient Programs Services. Our Residential Recovery Housing facilities are in San Mateo, North Fair Oaks, and
San Bruno with our Outpatient Facility in South San Francisco. Counseling is offered one-on-one with our licensed
psychologist and future contracted MFT, or in a small family group, both at our housing facilities and outpatient
facility. A children case manager provides assistance to our moms and babies program in San Mateo. A medical
doctor will be contracted to help severe clients with prescription review and medication maintenance schedules.

Illness, disability, and premature death can be directly attributed to alcohol use. Use of alcohol also contributes in
many instances to other costs to society, including injuries, criminal activity, emergencies, and motor vehicle
crashes. Each year, the City of San Mateo realizes costs resulting from alcohol use, including the costs of providing
medical care for people with alcohol-related illness, treatment and prevention costs, costs to the law enforcement
system, costs resulting from alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes and other injuries, and the costs associated with
disability, diminished capacity, and premature death from alcohol-related causes.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has called alcohol consumption the third leading 'actual
cause of death,' or modifiable behavioral risk factor, in the United States, after tobacco and the combination of poor
diet and physical inactivity. Two-thirds of San Francisco Bay Area adults are current drinkers, compared with 55%

of United States adults. Several studies found that alcohol and drug use collectively increase the risk of people
returning to homelessness after housing placement by up to 32%. Many studies have shown a relationship
between alcoholism and homelessness both as a contributing cause to homelessness and an effect of
homelessness.
Similarly, Crane and colleagues (2005) found that among newly homeless adults 50 years of age or older,
substance abuse was a primary contributory cause to their homelessness. NIAAA data show that per capita
consumption in California has remained relatively constant over the last fifteen years. This suggests that alcohol
shipments to California increases each year, as the total population has been growing. More alcohol being shipped
corresponds to more alcohol being consumed each year.

Mitigation Fee, prepared for: City and County of San Francisco by The Lewin Group, Inc., dated June 30, 2010.

diet and physical inactivity. Two-thirds of San Francisco Bay Area adults are current drinkers, compared with 55%
of United States adults. Several studies found that alcohol and drug use collectively increase the risk of people
returning to homelessness after housing placement by up to 32%. Many studies have shown a relationship
between alcoholism and homelessness both as a contributing cause to homelessness and an effect of
homelessness.
Similarly, Crane and colleagues (2005) found that among newly homeless adults 50 years of age or older,
substance abuse was a primary contributory cause to their homelessness. NIAAA data show that per capita
consumption in California has remained relatively constant over the last fifteen years. This suggests that alcohol
shipments to California increases each year, as the total population has been growing. More alcohol being shipped
corresponds to more alcohol being consumed each year.

Outpatient Facility site: 301 Grand Avenue #301, (Grand and Linden) South San Francisco, CA: serving the largely
bi-lingual Spanish-speaking communities in South San Francisco. more then 85% are homeless and 75% are from
the justice system, requiring AOD recovery assistance. This population needs help with life-skills, financial
sustainability and job skills. The majority are bilingual Spanish speaking. 50% women 50% men.
Illness, disability, and premature death can be directly attributed to alcohol use. Use of alcohol also contributes in
many instances to other costs to society, including injuries, criminal activity, emergencies, and motor vehicle
crashes. Each year, the City of South San Francisco realizes costs resulting from alcohol use, including the costs
of providing medical care for people with alcohol-related illness, treatment and prevention costs, costs to the law

14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
- beginning July 1, 2014 the number of 1-1 counseling sessions with on-staff Psychologist and MFT increase by 25
additional sessions per month
- July and October 2014 Community Mental Health Forums will be offered at the College of San Mateo and Skyline
College
- beginning July 1, 2014, with contracted M.D., clients in North Fair Oaks and the SSF Outpatient Facility will
receive proper medication review and management to comply with their prescription regimen.
This project is annually budgeted. The cost of staffing and operations is needed throughout the year. Payroll is
every two weeks and cost of operations are paid monthly. All funding will be expended within the 2014-2015 fiscal
year.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
We implement a recovery program considering the following ‘Phases of Recovery’ (attached).
- Phase I. Genesis (beginning) [14-30 days] The orientation phase for new participants who are under close
supervision and are not allowed to make outside contact.
- Phase II. En-lak-etch (working as one) [30-60 days] Participants are challenged to examine personal feelings,
addictive behaviors, criminal thinking and short and long-term goals.
- Phase III. Floreciendo (blooming, transitioning) [60-90 days] The independence phase where emphasis is on
preparing participants for community reintegration, and family reunification.
- Phase IV. Ollin (Movement with balance and integrity) Residents graduate from the treatment program and
receive support to apply new skills for clean and sober living.
Our organization measures success in many ways, however the most useful indicators are the following, where we
far exceed all averages:
* Completion Rate: The number of people who start and complete the TLC substance abuse treatment program is
23% more than the national average. Last year we graduated 160 people nearly 70% of participants, compared to
the National average of 52%.
* Overall Recovery Rates: We monitor the number of people who retain their sobriety after their stay at our
facilities. With relapse prevention as a focus in our Outpatient Therapy Program we help graduates into full
recovery, maintaining their living environment and not returning to homelessness.
* Long-Term Success Rates: Our treatment program is effective in maintaining people’s sobriety on their own. We
foster lasting sobriety stability for people by involving their families!

16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
We have community partner agreement with Second Harvest Food Bank to provide food for our residential
facilities and pantries and will seek to increase donations to fill an emergency pantry in our South San Francisco
Outpatient Facility. Our Outpatient clients are willing and able to volunteer to help with future food distribution at the
Second Harvest and USDA Distribution sites through South San Francisco. We collaborate and refer to St. Vincent
de Paul. We refer current outpatient clients to Safe Harbor and Shelter Network when temporary housing is
needed. We coordinated outreach efforts with the North Peninsula Neighborhood Center over the past 2 years.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
CDBG funding will allow for additional counseling sessions to improve the mental health of both our clients and
their families. We will be able to add counseling sessions with a licensed MFT to improve family relations and in
many cases the reunification of families. Our Children Case Manager will improve the health and well-being of the
moms and babies in our program, and the children will be better prepared to enter school and perform. We will
increase our outreach efforts to address the stigmas associated with mental health in all communities. We will
increase the access to food for people in crisis, as we will offer an emergency food pantry in our Outpatient Facility.
We will also increase people's access to health insurance, as we will offer Covered California enrollment to our
clients and the general public using our 3 Certified Enrollment Counselors (2 are on-staff, 1 is a volunteer).

We received 3,000 inquiries last year requesting some type of information or assistance needed from a broad
range and highly diverse population. If needed, we mail the appropriate language materials, or deliver to
prospective clients when they attend an intake meeting. We also physically distribute at local shelters, public health
clinics and other ethnic specific programs. Our 50 member staff is bilingual bicultural, with 90% speaking both
English and Spanish. All materials are available in English and Spanish.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
We maintain multi-year contracts with the County of San Mateo - Behavioral Health Recovery Services, Families
and Children, and Criminal Justice System. We have additional contracts with HHS SNAP, the California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation-Bay Area Services Network, and the City/County of San Francisco -
Department of Public Health.
We receive significant contributions from private foundation and corporations such as the Fresno Regional
Foundation, the Latino Community Foundation, Mental Health Service Association, Hitachi, and from community
partners such as Second Harvest Food Bank, and St. Vincent de Paul.
.
We have received a $45,000 grant from Peninsula Health Care District to use towards this project for clients in our
houses in San Bruno and San Mateo.
We are also able to report a new and energized Board of Directors, who will be seeking additional private funds
through donor campaigns, special events and private foundation solicitations. Our goal is to begin reducing the
high need for public funding in all of our programs.

A range of services is provided to tenants through the Homesavers Program, from brief advice on specific legal
questions, to full-scale litigation of important disputed issues. Through three weekly intake clinics, more than 1000
households per year contact Legal Aid for some type of legal assistance related to housing.
Legal Aid holds housing clinics every week at the Daly City Community Services Center, the Fair Oaks Community
Center in Redwood City, and at the Superior Court building in Redwood City. All clinics are open to all low-income
tenants who reside in San Mateo County who need legal assistance with eviction defense, habitability, and general
landlord/tenant issues. Services are available by appointment and on a drop-in basis. During the intake process,
each tenant receives one-on-one legal counseling, and also screening for other possible services that Legal Aid or
other agencies might provide.
For households facing eviction proceedings, the clinic serves the important function of assisting with the legal
papers necessary to allow the tenants to contest the eviction case. Timely access to legal assistance can be critical
to preventing homelessness for these households. When a property owner seeks possession of a property by way
of the unlawful detainer process, the tenant has just five calendar days in which to submit a written response to the
Court. If this deadline is missed by even one day, the occupant may lose the case by default and be evicted just
one week later. Approximately half of all responses filed by tenants in eviction court proceedings in San Mateo
County in the past year were prepared at a Legal Aid clinic.
After intake and initial response preparation at the clinic, all eviction cases are reviewed by the Legal Aid staff for
potential representation by Legal Aid staff attorneys or pro bono placement with a collaborating law firm or other
legal services agency. Tenants in subsidized housing, rent-controlled housing, or post-foreclosure properties are
typically the clients selected for representation, but we also prioritize cases with unique legal issues or household
members with special vulnerabilities such as disability or language barriers. The volume of tenants and legal issues
that come through our intake process also provides Legal Aid with a wealth of information with which to assess
trends and emerging issues in San Mateo County rental housing. This data is useful in directing our choices of
impact litigation and helps us anticipate the information and materials needed in the tenant community.
Program Specific objectives are:
1. Prevent evictions that will result in homelessness;
2. Assist people through the eviction court process to give them their best opportunity to avoid becoming homeless;
3. Advocate on behalf of tenants living in substandard conditions to improve the conditions of the home;
4. Advise people with legal problems regarding the law, their options, and the consequences of their actions and
the actions of their landlords so they can make informed decisions; and
5. Enforce fair housing laws to prevent housing discrimination.
Through HomeSavers, Legal Aid expects to help 1100 extremely low, very low and low income households
throughout San Mateo County in FY 2014-15.
The key funding priorities for the five jurisdictions in San Mateo County include:
• Daly City: To benefit lower-income people in the area of Public Services.
• Redwood City: Funding Priority 2. Homeless Assistance Activities: provision of legal intervention to prevent
homelessness
• South San Francisco: Public Services; Housing-Related Services (e.g. home sharing, housing counseling)
• City of San Mateo: Community Funding Priority, Basic Human Needs; such as access to food, shelter, clothing,
legal services, etc.
• San Mateo County: Funding Priority B(3) – Public Services; Supportive services, including financial literacy
programs, which are aimed at keeping people in their homes, including fair housing services.
Providing public services to low income persons to keep them housed is the primary goal of the HomeSavers
program. Over 90% of the households we serve fall at or below the low income category as defined by HUD. Our
legal services often help a family avoid eviction altogether, and at a minimum almost always help the tenants gain
the additional time they need to find new housing and not end up in the shelters or on the streets.
The impact and range of our services are best illustrated by the case stories.

Redwood City: Julia rents a space for her mobile home at a mobile home park in Redwood City. She suffers from
anxiety and depression, but manages a part time job to pay the rent and take care of her three children. Julia was
shocked when her landlord served her with an eviction notice and took her to court complaining about the alleged
failure to maintain her space. Julia’s mobile home space looked the same as all of the other homes where the
maintenance rules were not strictly enforced. Because of her mental illness, Julia shut down rather than taking the
immediate action needed to clean up her home to satisfy the landlord’s threats. Julia’s doctor confirmed that the
arbitrary and ambiguous threat was harmful to Julia’s mental health and was the wrong way to seek a change in
her behavior. Julia came to Legal Aid for help with the eviction, and Legal Aid’s investigation led to the conclusion
that the mobile home park’s action against Julia was not just discriminatory but was vindictive and personal. Legal
Aid convinced the mobile home park to drop the attempt to evict her, give Julia a new lease agreement, stop
demanding a rent increase, and return her $500 deposit. Most importantly, Legal Aid made the park management
agree to apply the park rules evenly as to all residents and not single out Julia with threats. Julia and her three
children remain peacefully in their home now that it is, and always was, in the same condition as the homes of her
neighbors.
South San Francisco: Perry is a disabled senior veteran with a Section 8 voucher from the Veteran’s
Administration, who lives in an apartment in South San Francisco. His landlord filed an eviction case against Perry
alleging that his conduct had created a nuisance and violated the lease. However, this manager is known to many
of the residents of these apartments to have a drinking problem, to exaggerate and fabricate allegations against
tenants he does not like, and to hold unfounded grudges against certain tenants. Perry completely denied the
allegations, saying he is a disabled senior veteran who mostly keeps to himself and does not bother anyone. Perry
went to Legal Aid to fight back in the unlawful detainer (eviction case) and defend against the false charges. Legal
Aid’s attorneys used the court process to challenge the landlord to prove his claims against Perry. When
challenged to support the allegations, the landlord backed down and dismissed the case. These kinds of
allegations in an unlawful detainer are particularly risky for a tenant with a Section 8 voucher because it could
cause the tenant to lose that voucher forever. Perry was able to keep his home and his Section 8 voucher.
San Mateo County: Tom and Kate have lived for the past 19 years in a small rental home in the redwood forest of
La Honda on the San Mateo County coast. They have established themselves in a close-knit community where
they enjoy spending their retirement years. When the friends from whom they had been renting the house lost
ownership of the home in foreclosure, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (aka “Freddie Mac”) took over
the property. Tom and Kate received a letter from a real estate agent asking that they agree to move quickly in
exchange for a $2,000 payment. Unfortunately, by the time the letter arrived the date by which the agent wanted
the tenants to move was only ten days later. Because Kate’s physical disabilities required them to live in a home
accessible for Kate’s wheelchair, the couple knew they would not be able to find a suitable place so quickly, much
less pack and move 19 years’ worth of accumulated possessions. When Tom and Kate received an eviction notice
from Freddie Mac, they were panicked that they would be forced from their home before they were ready. They
came to a Legal Aid housing clinic in Half Moon Bay for advice. The volunteer attorney reviewed their paperwork
and prepared a written answer for filing at court to contest the eviction. Based on similar cases previously litigated
by Legal Aid, the attorney knew that the notice Freddie Mac had served to Tom and Kate was not in compliance
with the latest legal requirements for such notices under recent state law amendments. Legal Aid staff filed a
motion for summary judgment on behalf of Tom and Kate, asking the court to dismiss the case. After briefing and
argument of the issue, the court granted the motion and dismissed the case. This court victory meant that no
further eviction could proceed against Tom and Kate for a least three more months. Tom and Kate have secured a
new home in La Honda and are in the process of moving, with much more time than they expected.

Demand for help from the HomeSavers program is as high as ever. Approximately halfway through the current
program year, HomeSavers has already assisted more than 670 San Mateo County extremely low, very low, and
low income households, including 197 Redwood City households. Housing legal services, particularly related to
eviction, continue to be the most requested assistance by callers to the Legal Aid Society. On an average day,
more than 17 San Mateo County residents call Legal Aid requesting legal advice regarding housing.
According to the current National Low Income Housing Coalition report “Out of Reach
2013” (http://nlihc.org/sites/default/files/oor/2013_OOR.pdf), San Mateo County continues to top the list of least
affordable counties in the United States. The San Mateo County Department of Housing reports that between
September 2012 and September 2013, rental rates for a one bedroom unit increased 8.9% to an average market
rent of $2,095 per month, while rental rates for two bedroom units increased by 7.0% to an average market rent of
$2,365 per month. The vacancy rate for rental units has dipped to approximately 2%. Our clients struggling to
subsist on extremely low, very low, and low incomes have found it increasingly difficult to compete in such a
housing market, and are rarely able to secure suitable replacement housing if their current tenancy is terminated.
This has enhanced the need to keep such families in their current housing whenever possible.
Other housing advocates that work in the Redwood City community include Project Sentinel and Bay Area Legal
Aid. The services of each of these agencies is distinguished from but complementary to Legal Aid Society’s.
Project Sentinel, as a fair housing agency, is able to refer housing discrimination litigation matters related to current
tenancies to Legal Aid Society, and Legal Aid Society refers to Project Sentinel many pre-litigation fair housing
disputes and issues related to discriminatory refusal to rent. Bay Area Legal Aid provides comprehensive services

Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Demand for help from the HomeSavers program is as high as ever. Approximately halfway through the current
program year, Homesavers has already assisted more than 670 San Mateo County extremely low, very low, and
low income households, including 70 City of San Mateo households. That the number of City of San Mateo
households served in the first two quarters of 2013-14 is very similar to the 76 City of San Mateo households
served in the first two quarters of 2012-13 is an indicator that the need for tenants’ housing rights advocacy has not
diminished in the City of San Mateo. Housing legal services, particularly related to eviction, continue to be the most
requested assistance by callers to the Legal Aid Society. On an average day, more than 17 San Mateo County
residents call Legal Aid requesting legal advice regarding housing.
According to the current National Low Income Housing Coalition report “Out of Reach
2013” (http://nlihc.org/sites/default/files/oor/2013_OOR.pdf), San Mateo County continues to top the list of least
affordable counties in the United States. The San Mateo County Department of Housing reports that between
September 2012 and September 2013, rental rates for a one bedroom unit increased 8.9% to an average market
rent of $2,095 per month, while rental rates for two bedroom units increased by 7.0% to an average market rent of
$2,365 per month. The vacancy rate for rental units has dipped to approximately 2%. Our clients struggling to
subsist on extremely low, very low, and low incomes have found it increasingly difficult to compete in such a
housing market, and are rarely able to secure suitable replacement housing if their current tenancy is terminated.
This has enhanced the need to keep such families in their current housing whenever possible.
In the City of San Mateo, where at least 46% of the housing stock is occupied by renters and 61% of all very-low-
income households are renters, there is a tremendous overlap of very-low-income renters. These City of San
Mateo tenants suffer disproportionately severe cost burdens for their rental housing, spending more than 50% of
their income on housing cost. Many such households also suffer from overcrowding. Very-low-income tenants are
more vulnerable to eviction, because even the smallest financial setback can prevent timely rent payment and
result in termination of the tenancy. The same very-low-income households are the least able to relocate quickly,
because they lack the resources to finance a move and to successfully compete in the City of San Mateo housing
market. Legal services that extend the period in which the family can remain in the house, and in some instances
help the family resume their tenancy in the same home, are an essential part of the safety net services in the City
of San Mateo. This is particularly true of the tenants who rely on Section 8 vouchers to help pay their rent, since the
voucher can be lost after an eviction. In the past five years, the City of San Mateo has had the highest number of
households utilizing Section 8 vouchers in the county.
Other housing advocates that work in the City of San Mateo community include Project Sentinel and Bay Area

14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
The HomeSavers program is already well-established in the community and is currently running three direct
services clinics at capacity each week. The primary expense of this program is staffing, and the regular staff
salaries and benefits will result in timely expenditure of all funds by the end of the year.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Numbers of households and persons served in each jurisdiction are tracked in Legal Aid’s computerized case
management system. All staff time spent on any matter in any jurisdiction is also entered into a case activity log in
the same computerized case management system, so that the staff time attributable to work for any particular
jurisdiction can be tracked and reported precisely. Outcomes in individual cases will be evaluated through a pre-
and post-service structured case review. The attorney and the client determine a case goal at the outset of
representation. When the case is closed, the attorney reviews the outcome and determines whether the goal was
achieved. Cases are rated as having a favorable outcome if the client achieved their goal in seeking legal
consultation and either obtained a positive legal result or received legal counsel that was helpful in resolving the
situation. Legal Aid also tracks each matter by case type so that various special issues such as foreclosure and
subsidized housing can be analyzed separately.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Legal Aid continues to offer weekly housing clinics at the Daly City Community Center on Tuesday afternoons and
the Fair Oaks Community Center on Friday mornings, where attendance continues to stretch the limits of our
resources. In collaboration with the Self-Help Center of the San Mateo Superior Court, Legal Aid continues to hold
a Landlord/Tenant clinic at the main courthouse in Redwood City that started in July 2008. Legal Aid works with
each of the core service agencies and other providers of rental assistance to help clients obtain emergency rental
assistance grants to prevent eviction and homelessness. Legal Aid continues to refer Fair Housing matters that it
does not handle in-house to Project Sentinel.
We regularly exchange referrals with Housing and Economic Rights Advocates and Community Legal Services of
East Palo Alto, based on an established referral protocol. Legal Aid also works with the Stanford Community Law
Clinic to select several eviction cases each year for representation by certified law students. Legal Aid also hosts

quarterly housing advocate meetings that include staff from Project Sentinel, Housing and Economic Rights
Advocates, Community Legal Services of East Palo Alto, Stanford Community Law Clinic, and Bay Area Legal Aid.
Legal Aid staff members have been recent participants in the Housing Element Coalition with Housing Leadership
Council and other community organizations.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
The Legal Aid housing staff has been reduced, due to the conclusion of staff attorney Larisa Bowman's two-year
Skadden fellowship. Her departure and the end to the funding for her position has reduced our capacity for taking
on time-intensive litigation matters, and increased the case load for the remaining two housing attorneys. Other
multi-year grants previously received from the State Bar and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation to support
the HomeSavers program have now reached the end of their funding period, such that the future viability of the
HomeSavers program is more dependant than ever on CDBG funding. Without CDBG funding for 2014-15, we
would be unable to continue provision of any housing services at Legal Aid. We hope that in the near future funding
can be secured for housing-related litigation and the necessary staff hours so we can continue this important work
on a scale to meet the tremendous need.

3. Program Outcomes: In what ways has your program made a difference in the lives of the people you serve?
Please provide at least one concrete example from the people served in FY/13:
Tenants in the City of Redwood City have faced the misfortune of two major apartment fires in the past year. In
July 2013, when fire at the 72-unit Hallmark House apartment building displaced numerous low-income
households, many agencies answered the call to assist these tenants with emergency services, including Legal
Aid Society. Legal Aid staff set up consultations at the Red Cross service center so that tenants could assess their
legal rights regarding their tenancies, personal possessions, security deposits, and landlord’s liability. Over twenty
of the households displaced sought and received legal advice from Legal Aid staff in the days following the fire. In
October 2013, another apartment building on Woodside Road burned down, and again numerous low-income
households were displaced. During the process of recovering their personal property from the damaged building,
many of the residents became alarmed that the landlord was asking them to sign a general release of liability in
exchange for retrieval of their personal items. In collaboration with the staff of the Fair Oaks Community Center,
Legal Aid staff held an information session for these residents attended by 14 of the displaced households, and
spoke with the property manager on their behalf. Thanks to the advocacy of Legal Aid, the property management
company agreed to modify the release form, and Legal Aid worked with the management to alter the language of
the document to better protect the tenants.

12. Project Specific Narrative: Provide a narrative description of the specific activities to be carried out with the
requested funds. This should also include program objectives and key priorities for each specific jurisdiction.
The requested funds will be used to continue Parca's Family Support Services' one-on-one and family support,
information and referral services, advocacy and community outreach to South San Francisco families with one or
more members who are affected by developmental disabilities. These services are provided through one-on-one
and family meetings and advocacy/community outreach events.
Program goal #1 is to hold 20 individual and family meetings per year with South San Francisco families during
fiscal year 2014-2015 and 20 individual and family meetings per year during fiscal year 2015-2016. Program goal
#2 is to hold 20 advocacy/community outreach meetings and events to include South San Francisco families each
year during the two-year time period. These services are aligned with the identified needs within the county for
various supports concerning rights, education, housing, employment and recreation among affected, underserved
families.
Parca's Family Support Services program is unique in that its services are provided free of charge; all age groups
are served; and it offers professional speakers to inform, educate, and empower families, as well as inclusive
recreational opportunities to encourage socialization and community-building. The program is headed by a woman
who has an adult son with Down syndrome who is unrelenting in her efforts to help families like hers in South San
Francisco and throughout San Mateo County.
Family Support Services is currently serving 128 people in 31 households in South San Francisco. Of those
people, 123 are low-income and of those households, 30 are low-income.
13A. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Due to the lifelong, complex, and far-reaching effects of developmental disabilities, families of people who have
them are often overwhelmed by and ill-prepared for the challenges they face. In a world where it is difficult enough
to navigate health, education, housing, employment and support systems for those without disabilities, it can be
extremely stressful on the family when disabilities are involved. In fact, according to Lucile Packard Children's
Hospital, recent studies have shown that 57% of children with special needs have clinically-significant stress as
compared to just 8% of other parents.
Families need to understand their loved ones' unique life challenges; know their legal rights; plan for their futures

when parents are no longer able to provide for them; work with school districts to design special education
programs; find out what resources and supports are available; be aware of ongoing recreational, employment,
education and housing opportunities; and, perhaps most importantly, know they are not alone. Parca's Family
Support Services' distinct array of direct services was designed to offer a place for families to turn for advice, help
and comfort; it serves both the family and the affected individual within it. The program provides support groups,
networking, one-on-one family meetings, information and referral, community outreach, advocacy, a professional
speaker series, and inclusive recreational opportunities to people with developmental disabilites and their families.
The City of South San Francisco's web site puts the city's population at 63,632. According to the California State
Council on Developmental Disabilities, the number of people with developmental disabilities is .018% of any
population; therefore, 1,145 South San Franciscans are affected by one or more developmetnal disabilities and this
number is rapidly growing as autism cases are as high as 1 in 88 (CDC statistics). Our program offers assistance
to individuals and families in South San Francisco by a person who has firsthand experience in facing the
challenges of having a family member who is disabled. Family Support Services serves approximately 900 families
in San Mateo County, 31 of them in South San Francisco. All but one of those families are in the low, very low and
extremely low income categories per the County's Income Limits table for 2014 and our demographic information
provided by the families. Requested funds are needed to offset costs to enable the program to run for another two
years.
Developmental disabilities include mental retardation, Down syndrome, autism, epilepsy, cerebral palsy and other
neurological disorders. These are lifelong disabilities attributable to mental or physical impairments, manifested
prior to age 18. They affect daily functioning in three or more of the following areas: capacity for independent living,
economic self-sufficiency, learning, mobility, receptive and expressive language, self-care, and self-direction.
Developmental disabilities are usually classified as severe, profound, moderate or mild, as assessed by the
individual's need for supports, which may be lifelong.
Parca's Family Support Services program serves all of San Mateo County. Similar programs in the community
include Community Gatepath; however, they do not have a designated Family Support Services director who
provides services in clients' homes and acts on their behalf in legal and employment matters.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
Family Support Services is an ongoing, year-round program. Goals stated in #12 above will be achieved in fiscal
years 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 with grant funds from the City of South San Francisco directed toward program
support and expended in full during these fiscal years.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Evaluation is performed by means of grant reports, conversation logs, client records, client emails, program activity
calendars and surveys. If the client and his or her family does not express satisfaction with the services they have
received, changes are made to ensure the attainment of desired results.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Family Support Services collaborates with many other organizations and agencies in bringing its programs and
services to the community at large. Among them are:
Children's Collaborative Action Team of the San Mateo Child Abuse Council
Aging and Adult Commission
Child Care Coordinating Council (to work on the Peninsula Partnership for Children)
Youth and Families Child Care Action Team
Community Advisory Committee (to work on the Special Education Local Plan Area)
Mid-San Mateo Council Counselor Colelgial Sharing Group
Children and Families First Preemie Project

All of these collaborations focus on the health, well-being, security and stability of families dealing with members

17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
The CDC states that developmental disabilities are increasing in the US, indicating a serious health problem, and
suggesting that future research should focus on understanding risk factors, changes in acceptance and awareness
of conditions, and benefits of early intervention services. The main findings showed that about 1 in 6 children in the
U.S. had a DD in 2006–2008. The study underscores the increasing need for health, education and social services,
and more specialized health services for people with DDs.
Over the last 12 years, the:
•Prevalence of DDs has increased 17.1%—that's about 1.8 million more children with DDs in 2006–2008 compared
to a decade earlier;
•Prevalence of autism increased 289.5%;
•Prevalence of ADHD increased 33.0%; and,
In addition, data from this study showed:
•Males had twice the prevalence of any DD than females and more specifically had higher prevalence of ADHD,
autism, learning disabilities, stuttering/stammering and other DDs;
•Hispanic children had lower prevalence of several disorders compared to non-Hispanic white and non-Hispanic
black children, including ADHD and learning disabilities;
•Non-Hispanic black children had higher prevalence of stuttering/stammering than non-Hispanic white children;
•Children insured by Medicaid had a nearly two-fold higher prevalence of any DD compared to those with private
insurance; and,
•Children from families with income below the federal poverty level had a higher prevalence of DDs.
City funding would enable us to continue to meet the needs of the increasing numbers of families coming to us for
assistance in dealing with the challenges posed by developmental disabilities.
Grant funding from the City would allow us to offset operating costs for the upcoming two fiscal years while seeking
additional support from other grantors and individuals.

Leo J. Ryan Child Development Center was established in 1989 as part of Peninsula Family Service. It is located
on the campus of Sunshine Gardens Elementary School and is operated in partnership with the South San
Francisco Unified School District. The center has the capacity to accommodate 130 children. The program provides
opportunities for children to learn, explore and have fun in an exciting, creative and bilingual environment through
an innovative classroom curriculum. Our staff prepares 48 pre-schoolers (age 2.6 – 5 years old) for success in
kindergarten. The center’s philosophy emphasizes building positive self-image and fosters an appreciation for
diversity. Through our child development services, we promote school readiness for children and support working
families. We conduct an annual Parent Outcomes Survey, to measure desired outcomes for our child development
services. The survey is distributed to the parents of children enrolled at all ten of our child development centers.
The survey topics range from parents’ satisfaction with staff qualifications, classroom equipment and curriculum, to
the impact their child’s enrollment has had on their employment. Our findings from last year’s survey reveal that
89% of parents were able to keep their job as a result of services, while 57% were able to accept a better job; and
99% of parents reported feeling that their child is happy in the program.
13A. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Our program addresses the need for high quality child care for low-income, working families in the community. Leo
J. Ryan Child Development Center is one of two subsidized child care programs in South San Francisco providing
full day care, and the only one which accepts children ages 2.6 to 5 years old (Subsidized Child Care Programs in
San Mateo County, Child Care Coordinating Council, 2012). As indicated in the 2013 Community Assessment:
Health & Quality of Life in San Mateo County, 'The quality of childcare, including preschool, during a child's early
years influences socio-emotional and cognitive development, including language learning, problem solving, self
control, social skills and school readiness. Consistent, quality child care can be a stabilizing force for children and
their families during times of change... Further, child care is indispensable to the many families who need two
incomes to afford San Mateo County's high cost of living' (Community Assessment, 2013). Currently, licensed child

care is available for only 28% of San Mateo County children with parents in the labor force (2013 Child Care
Portfolio, California Child Care Resource & Referral Network). Access to subsidized child care is critical for low-
income families because of the high cost of care: 'for a family in California earning minimum wage ($14,040/year),
the combined costs of housing and child care add up to more than 200% of that family's annual
income' (Community Assessment, 2013). According to the 2013 Community Assessment, 'as governmental funding
for subsidies has decreased, families who meet very low income guidelines for subsidized care are not assured of
assistance, often remaining unserved for years ... Only 40% of the preschoolers and infants who need child care
subsidies actually get them' (Community Assessment, 2013).
Leo J. Ryan Child Development Center offers a vital service to the children and families of South San Francisco.
Our services are targeted to meet the needs of low-income, working families. We provide care on a sliding fee
scale to income-eligible families who are working or enrolled in school or vocational training. According to our client
demographics from 2012-2013, 54% of the families we serve earn less than $25,000 annually, and 9% earned less
than $10,000. The self-sufficiency standard to meet basic needs in San Mateo County for two adults with one
preschool age child is $73,348 annually, a standard which 0% of our families meet (Insight Center for Community
Economic Development, 2014). According to the 2009 Child Care Needs Assessment, 52% of income-eligible
families in South San Francisco do not receive subsidized child care due to a shortage of slots.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
Child development services are provided on an ongoing basis and with the requested funding from CDBG, we can
meet our goals. Our fiscal year runs from July 1 - June 30.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
To measure each child’s developmental progress, Peninsula Family Service uses the “Desired Results
Developmental Profile” (DRDP). The DRDP assessment tool was developed by the California Department of
Education to evaluate each child’s developmental progress and accomplishments. The profile is completed by the
child’s primary teacher and includes a parent survey component. Children under 36 months are assessed three
times a year, and our preschoolers (3-5 year olds), are assessed twice a year. By analyzing multiple individual
evaluations, our directors can get the most accurate readings for each child’s progress and provide measurable
outcomes of our program’s success. Our goal is to provide children with a strong foundation in preschool which will
enable them to be academically successful in elementary school and beyond.
As part of our state contract, Peninsula Family Service also engages in an environmental assessment utilizing the
Early Childhood Rating Scale (ECRS), a standardized instrument intended to assess the program's physical
environment, materials and interaction of teachers and children. ECRS evaluations are conducted annually and
submitted to the state. Any centers below 5 are placed on an improvement plan. Leo Ryan scored a 5.88 in the last
review.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Leo J. Ryan Child Development Center collaborates with a variety of partners in the community in order to better
serve our clients. The center is located on the campus of Sunshine Gardens Elementary School, which facilitates a
partnership between the two schools and provides parents the convenience of enrolling their young children in a
program located on the same site where their older children attend elementary school. One of the center's most
vocal partners is Congresswoman Jackie Speier. She was instrumental in helping Peninsula Family Service
acquire the program in 1989 and having it named after the late Congressman Leo J. Ryan. Congresswoman Speier
remains a strong advocate for the center. Leo J. Ryan CDC also benefits from the generosity of Genentech Inc.
employees who donate books and volunteer their time to read to the children. The center also collaborates with the
Raising A Reader program which provides a weekly lending library of books for families and training for parents on
'how to effectively share books to promote family literacy habits, language and literacy skills, and a love of
learning'. The staff at Leo J. Ryan were invited to participate in the San Mateo County Office of Education's EQuIP
program, which provides professional development opportunities to increase teachers' knowledge and improve
their skills. The center collaborates with the Child Care Coordinating Council of San Mateo County to provide
parents with alternative payment options like vouchers to help them pay for child care. Another key partner is the

refer families to Watch Me Grow if they observe any developmental delays and based on the results of the
screening, those families receive additional services as needed. Each of these partnerships amplifies the impact of
the services we provide at Leo J. Ryan Child Development Center, further benefiting the children and families of
South San Francisco.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
Due to decreased government funding for early childhood education, the current deficit for Leo J. Ryan Child
Development Center is over $110,000. CDBG funding would enable us to continue providing services at the same
level.

which indicates a much higher concentration of Hispanic population.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
Peninsula Family Service has a marketing and development team who works to fundraise for our organization. We
receive our funds from both foundations as well as individual donors. Our development team works to market our
services to our community while our grant writers work to identify foundations that meet our needs and to write
proposals for project funding. We actively solicit alternative funding on an ongoing basis to support child
development services at Leo J. Ryan Child Development Center. We have ongoing contracts with the California
Department of Education State Preschool Program for $379,856 and the Child Care Food Program for $40,794.

Grant Funded Programs:
We are applying for a Public Services Program
CDBG National Objective Eligibility - How are you serving low income populations?
Service to "presumed benefit" groups listed below (income verification not required, but verification of presumed
benefit status is required):
Abused children Homeless persons
Victims of domestic violence Illiterate adults
Elderly persons/seniors (age 62+) Persons living with AIDS
Severely disabled adults Migrant farm workers
Income Verification: Describe how you obtain, verify, and maintain proof of income and presumed benefit status.
Third party documentation or client signatures on the certification forms must be available on file for review at all
times.
The Sexual Abuse Services Program for Children and Youth provides direct services to child abuse survivors from
infancy through 17 years of age. As abused children is a 'presumed benefit' group income verification is not
required. RTS verifies the presumed benefit status by completing a Client Contact Data Form for each child served.
The form is used to collect detailed information about the types of trauma/abuse suffered, the services requested
and provided, follow-up services provided and the age, gender, and ethnicity of each survivor. Client Contact Data
forms are kept in a locked cabinet and RTS has kept all data forms from the beginning of the agency (19 years).
RTS reports by 'individuals' rather than 'households' as to comply with our legal responsibilities to confidentiality.
Due to legal restrictions, RTS is unable to actively seek and record information regarding personal affiliations
between clients; we are therefore unable to report victims who share living spaces as 'households' as to preserve
the confidentiality of all clients.

Support Group Counseling gives child and youth survivors the opportunity to continue the healing process with
others who have had similar experiences. Support groups can help break through the isolation that is common
among survivors. Examples of groups offered: Children's Group; Teen Girls Group; Teen Boys Group; Middle
School Peer Empowerment Group.
Advocacy & Accompaniment supports children and youth who report their assault/abuse to police. During medical
exams, police interviews, and court proceedings RTS provides children with emotional support, answers questions,
and makes sure young survivors understand what is happening and that their rights are protected under the law.
Counselors are specially trained to provide services to youth of all ages and support for any parents or loved ones
who are also present. RTS works with police to make sure victims and their families receive verbal and written
information about RTS services, including information about resources for survivors, with an emphasis on Victim of
Crime compensation assistance and availability of RTS follow-up.
Information, Referrals and Community Outreach: RTS responds to requests from survivors, the general public,
persons seeking services, and community agencies. RTS focuses on information such as low-cost services and
special cultural, language, or other needs to meet the requirements of our diverse population.
Program Objectives:
RTS aims to help child survivors learn the skills they need to heal from sexual abuse/trauma, prevent continued or
future abuse and develop the tools to be supportive of their own healing and the healing of others. RTS'
comprehensive program works with children and youth to develop these emotional skills so they can:
- Heal from the sexual abuse or assault(s) that they have experienced,
- Increase their ability to create an environment supportive of their own healing or that of others,
- Decrease the likelihood of developing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
- Use the same skills to overcome other past traumas like verbal or physical abuse, poverty, racism, etc.,
- Apply these skills to new situations; to become better able to cope with and heal from new traumas that may
occur,
- Decrease the likelihood of re-victimization,
- Understand and prevent their own acting out behaviors (alcohol/drug abuse, suicide, sexual risk-taking, etc.)
The primary goal of RTS is to ensure that when a child reaches out for help we are available to offer support.
Key Priorities:
Redwood City:
Public Services Activities related to health: RTS' program meets the basic human services needs of abused
children as outlined in Redwood City's Consolidated Plan (HS-1). We provide mental health services, advocacy
(HS-1, 2,4), information and referral and outreach (HS-1, 3), crisis intervention (HS-5) and violence prevention
through counseling and education (HS-5, 6) to the child survivors of sexual abuse.
The City of San Mateo:
Our program clearly matches many HUD activities. RTS provide mental health services to abused and neglected
children, provides crime awareness in the form of prevention and provides no-cost youth services. RTS' program
addresses core service needs, as defined by the CDBG program, within the City of San Mateo by addressing Basic
Human Needs and Youth Services. Program activities are provided to abused children within the city limits at local
high schools, community schools, the hospital, police station or wherever needed.
South San Francisco:
Our program clearly matches many HUD activities. RTS provide mental health services to abused and neglected
children, provides crime awareness in the form of prevention and provides no-cost youth services. RTS' program
addresses core service needs, as defined by the CDBG program, within the City of South San Francisco. Public
service activities are provided to abused children within the city limits at local high schools, community schools,
police station or wherever needed. Basic Human Needs and Youth Services are addressed through program
activities.

13A. Assessment of Need - Redwood City: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for
each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Following a two-year investigation, the Grand Jury of San Mateo County discovered “everyday, a child in San
Mateo County is sexually abused, and nearly half of the time the sexual abuse was inflicted by the child’s parent or
close relative.” According to the report, “over half of the reported sexually abused children are under 12 years old.”
Last year, Rape Trauma Services (the only Rape Crisis Center serving all of San Mateo County) provided crisis
intervention to a total of 433 children (male and female) ranging in age from infancy to 17 years.
In Redwood City, RTS provided crisis intervention, counseling and support to 28 at risk teens at city high schools;
on going individual or group counseling services to an additional 18 children living in Redwood City; and
accompaniment and advocacy services to 22 Redwood City youth. Funding allows us the opportunity to provide a
larger percentage of children with comprehensive ongoing services.
Children who are not afforded a chance to learn healing skills have a harder time developing socially and
emotionally. Children who are sexually abused often exhibit emotional, cognitive, and behavioral problems, such as
depression, suicidal behavior, difficulty in school, use of alcohol and drugs, and early sexual activity. Sexual abuse
contributes to teen pregnancy, by lowering the age of first voluntary intercourse and increasing sexual risk-taking
among young people. Victims of childhood sexual assault are 3 times as likely to become pregnant before 18.
Children who are abused are also more likely to repeat the cycle of violence by entering into violent relationships or
by abusing their own children.
Many sexually abused children also experience other traumas, such as physical and emotional abuse, exposure to
violence, and parental substance abuse. A recent study found that 22% of child trauma victims had experienced
four or more kinds of victimization in one year (Finkelhor D, Ormrod RI, and Turner HA. Child Abuse and Neglect.
2007). Early intervention is especially important for child and adolescent victims to prevent re-victimization over
their lifetimes.
According to statistics, every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. One-
in-3 females and 1-in-6 males will be sexually abused by the time they are 18 (National Crime Victimization
Survey). Sexual violence victimization starts very early in life. More than half of all rapes of women (54%) occur
before age 18; 22% of these rapes occur before age 12. For men, 75% of all rapes occur before age 18, and 48%
occur before age 12 (Tjaden and Thoennes, 2000). Men who experienced childhood sexual abuse are at much
greater risk than those who haven't for serious mental health problems, including: symptoms of post-traumatic
stress disorder and depression, alcoholism and drug abuse, suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, problems in
intimate relationships, and underachievement at school and at work (Dube, S.R., Anda, R.F., Whitfield, C.L., et al.
2005).
From these statistics we can see how sexual trauma, if left unhealed, leads to a dependence on acting out and
self-harming behaviors. Victims often do not have the emotional tools, role models, or social support to heal. RTS
is a place where survivors can find the much needed support they deserve. The ability to heal from past trauma is
fundamental to a child's safety and well-being. Indeed, not only would the lives of the children and youth that we
serve be starkly different, so would the social health of our community.
The target groups for Counseling and Advocacy are child victims of sexual abuse/assault. In Redwood City, At Risk
Teen Counseling and workshops are offered to the Sequoia and Redwood High School student body, specifically
to the Teen Age Parent Program (TAPP).

depression, suicidal behavior, difficulty in school, use of alcohol and drugs, and early sexual activity. Sexual abuse
contributes to teen pregnancy, by lowering the age of first voluntary intercourse and increasing sexual risk-taking
among young people. Victims of childhood sexual assault are 3 times as likely to become pregnant before 18.

Children who are abused are also more likely to repeat the cycle of violence by entering into violent relationships or
by abusing their own children.
Many sexually abused children also experience other traumas, such as physical and emotional abuse, exposure to
violence, and parental substance abuse. A recent study found that 22% of child trauma victims had experienced
four or more kinds of victimization in one year (Finkelhor D, Ormrod RI, and Turner HA. Child Abuse and Neglect.
2007). Early intervention is especially important for child and adolescent victims to prevent re-victimization over
their lifetimes.
According to statistics, every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. One-
in-3 females and 1-in-6 males will be sexually abused by the time they are 18 (National Crime Victimization
Survey). Sexual violence victimization starts very early in life. More than half of all rapes of women (54%) occur
before age 18; 22% of these rapes occur before age 12. For men, 75% of all rapes occur before age 18, and 48%
occur before age 12 (Tjaden and Thoennes, 2000). Men who experienced childhood sexual abuse are at much
greater risk than those who haven't for serious mental health problems, including: symptoms of post-traumatic
stress disorder and depression, alcoholism and drug abuse, suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, problems in
intimate relationships, and underachievement at school and at work (Dube, S.R., Anda, R.F., Whitfield, C.L., et al.
2005).
From these statistics we can see how sexual trauma, if left unhealed, leads to a dependence on acting out and
self-harming behaviors. Victims often do not have the emotional tools, role models, or social support to heal. RTS
is a place where survivors can find the much needed support they deserve. The ability to heal from past trauma is
fundamental to a child's safety and well-being. Indeed, not only would the lives of the children and youth that we
serve be starkly different, so would the social health of our community.
The target groups for Counseling and Advocacy are child victims of sexual abuse/assault. In South San Francisco,
At Risk Teen Counseling and workshops are offered to the El Camino and Baden High School student body.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
The Sexual Abuse Services Program for Children and Youth is an ongoing program in which individuals seek
needed services at any time throughout the year. Activities and staff are in place to implement all aspects of the
program.
By the end of the Fiscal Year, RTS will provide:
70 Child Abuse survivors in Redwood City with the following services -
20 children will receive in person counseling (individual or group)
30 children will receive Crisis Intervention, counseling and/or support services on their school campus
20 children will receive Advocacy and Accompaniment services
70 Child Abuse survivors in the City of San Mateo with the following services -
20 children will receive in person counseling (individual or group)
30 children will receive Crisis Intervention, counseling and/or support services on their school campus
20 children will receive Advocacy and Accompaniment services
50 Child Abuse survivors in the City of South San Francisco with the following services -
15 children will receive in person counseling (individual or group)
20 children will receive Crisis Intervention, counseling and/or support services on their school campus
15 children will receive Advocacy and Accompaniment services
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
A variety of measures are used to evaluate services. The Client Contact Data Form is completed for all clients. It
collects detailed information about the services requested and provided, types of trauma/abuse suffered,
demographics, and follow-up services provided. RTS holds weekly meetings to review individual cases, provide

assessment, and assign cases. This process allows us to track the number of services provided to city residents
and evaluate a client's ability to identify and address immediate and long-term trauma needs as well as gauge if a
client has gained skills needed for healing, an understanding of services, and/or received appropriate referral
information.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Children and teens who have suffered sexual trauma have a high likelihood of needing other services. RTS works
with organizations throughout the County to assure survivors receive all necessary services (teen pregnancy
prevention, substance abuse, housing needs, Child Protective Services). RTS is a member of the County Sexual
Assault Task Force & Multidisciplinary Interview Team to create better understanding regarding child victim issues,
provide trainings, and enhance the coordination and cooperation of all parties involved (law enforcement, medical
personnel, DA, and Victim Witness). RTS works with City and County Police Departments. We are called in during
an investigation to facilitate useful communication, supporting the creation of an environment that minimizes re-
traumatization. RTS' role is to provide basic legal-medical information and answer questions.
RTS addresses prevention by providing education programs in high schools. 40% of students reach out for further
information, advocacy, and/or counseling.
As a current recipient of the San Mateo County Human Service Agency Child Abuse Prevention Grant, RTS has
become an active member of the Children's Collaborative Action Team and attends monthly meetings to discuss
different issues of Child Abuse and Child Abuse Prevention throughout San Mateo County.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
Each year, new people reach out in need of victim services. Funding allows us to better meet this growing
demand. RTS continues to provide a large percentage of direct services to Hispanic children. We have continued
to implement our expanded counseling and advocacy to children by providing additional counseling groups. Our
numbers continue to indicate a high percentage of low-income clients. Additionally, funding allows RTS to provide
an intense outreach campaign to at-risk communities. Through our Programa Para Latinos, RTS focuses outreach
to underserved populations actively targeting people that have limited resources to receive services elsewhere.
Without funds, RTS would have to initiate a waiting list for counseling services, fewer school communities would
receive on campus services making it necessary for youth to travel to RTS’ Burlingame office, some child victims
may not receive accompaniment support during forensic interviews, and fewer residents would receive information
and referrals needed to make important and informed decisions.
An ongoing trend is the increasing number of children seeking services who are victims of CSEC (Commercial
Sexual Exploitation of Children). CSEC includes the prostitution of children, child pornography, child sex tourism
and other forms of transactional sex where a child engages in sexual activities to have key needs fulfilled, such as
food, shelter or access to education. Providing services to these children is often difficult, it is very time consuming
and often hard to coordinate due to the presence of the justice system.
This is the story of one such client: “Catherine” is a 14 year-old African-American girl who had been in and out of 9
different foster care homes before the age of 10; she was removed from the care of her biological mother after
experiencing sexual abuse and neglect as a very young child. As a six year old, a boy molested her in one of her
foster care placements. At the age of 14, she ran away and was missing for 4 months. Catherine disclosed that
while she was on the run, she met an adult male who “took pity on her” and promised her food and shelter. Feeling
that she had nowhere else to go, she began living with this man. The relationship quickly turned violent, in addition
to the physical violence she suffered, she was repeatedly raped and forced to have sex daily with several different
men who paid the man who held her captive. She was not allowed to leave the house or use the telephone. She
finally escaped through a window and contacted her foster mother who turned her into probation. An RTS
counselor accompanied her to the hospital and provided her with emotional support during a medical exam. During
the exam she learned that she had contracted Chlamydia and Herpes. While receiving counseling at RTS, she told
her counselor that for the first time in her life she truly feels safe and can talk about what has happened to her.

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative
outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
RTS is committed to making programs accessible by minimizing cultural, geographic, and economic barriers to
participation. Staff is trained to be culturally sensitive to the needs of individuals and groups that have experienced
oppression. Bilingual multicultural staff provides outreach to residents and specifically to the Latino immigrant
community. Presentations are given where there is a high likelihood of contact with survivors or potential victims.
Whites are underrepresented in RTS client pool because as a nonprofit agency with no cost counseling and
support services, low-income and other underserved communities (i.e., non-White populations) overwhelmingly
utilize RTS' programs due to a lack of resources to receive support elsewhere.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
RTS receives an ongoing Rape Crisis Grant from CalOES - the funding amount will be in the range of $115,000 for
the Sexual Abuse Services Program for Children and Youth. RTS is in the first year of a two-year grant from The
San Mateo County Human Service Agency for Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention. The funding amount is
$50,000 per year.
RTS has received current funding from Kaiser Permanente, The Junior League of Palo Alto Mid Peninsula, The
Lurie Foundation, and The Skolnick Foundation. We will re-apply to these sources for the upcoming fiscal year and
apply to additional Corporations and Foundations, including: The Intero Foundation, David B. Gold Foundation and
The Forever Young Foundation. A financial commitment from San Mateo, Redwood City, and South San Francisco
lends additional credibility to our requests from all types of funders. When approaching business owners and city
residents it has been helpful to discuss ongoing city support.
RTS has continued its Non-profit membership of the RWC/SM Chamber of Commerce and speaks to and receives
support from several service organizations (Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Soroptimist) throughout the county.

“John” is a 13-year-old resident of Redwood City. John disclosed to his parents that a member of his church
community had sexually abused him. John’s parents called the police, and an RTS counselor met them at the
Keller Center when John was brought in for a forensic interview (medical and legal). John shared with the
counselor that he had tried to keep his abuse a secret because he felt so embarrassed that a man had sexually
abused him. He was worried that his friends and family would judge him. He decided to tell his parents about the
abuse after he saw this man hanging around other children and feared for their safety. John and his parents are

30 years, Renaissance has played a vital role in the Bay Area, providing entrepreneurship training and support
services to over 23,500 extremely-low- to moderate-income women and men who in turn have started or grown
over 8,600 businesses. Our mission is to empower and increase the entrepreneurial capacities of socially and
economically diverse women and men and thereby strengthen our communities through the creation of new
sustainable businesses, new jobs and the promotion of financial self-sufficiency.
Renaissance’s comprehensive programs and services support entrepreneurs at every stage of business
development, from pre-start to launch, sustainability and growth, while at the same time directly addressing the
societal, economic and personal challenges lower-income individuals face as they strive to achieve economic
independence. As a result, Renaissance graduates are successfully establishing new businesses, creating
employment for themselves and other residents, achieving economic self-sufficiency, and contributing to local
economic development.
Each year, through our four Centers in South of Market and Bayview Hunters Point in San Francisco, East Palo
Alto, and San Rafael, and our programs in Daly City, Redwood City and Richmond, Renaissance serves over
1,700 women and men. Our clients reflect the diversity of the Bay Area: 84% are extremely-low- to moderate-
income, 72% are women, and 62% are people of color.
Renaissance Mid-Peninsula was founded in 2007 through the merger of Start Up, an East Palo Alto-based micro-
enterprise organization, and Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center, a San Francisco-based small business
development organization, dedicated to providing entrepreneurship training and support services to lower-income
women and men.
Track Record of Success: Renaissance’s work in supporting low-income entrepreneurial women and men to
achieve economic independence by starting and growing their own businesses has generated significant
recognition, most recently:
• In September 2013, Renaissance received a Diversability Award from The California State Department of
Rehabilitation for our work with persons with disabilities.
• In May 2013, Renaissance Marin became the Marin County US Small Business Administration Small Business
Development Center (SBDC).
• Sharon Miller, CEO, received a 2013 World of Difference 100 Award, presented by The International Alliance for
Women, which recognizes 100 people from around the world who have contributed to the economic empowerment
of women.
• In 2012 Renaissance was selected into the Social Impact Exchange's Social Impact 100, a group of 100 top-
performing, high impact organizations. The Social Impact Exchange is a cross-sector national membership
association for sharing knowledge and increasing investment in scaling effective social programs and solutions.
• Renaissance received the 2012 U.S. Bank/San Francisco African American Chamber of Commerce Juneteenth
Community Award.

Redwood City
Project Description: Since 2011, with the support of the City of Redwood City, Renaissance Mid-Peninsula has
delivered an English- and Spanish-language entrepreneurship training program for 158 very-low to moderate-
income Redwood City residents. In 2014-2015, Renaissance looks forward to continuing our vital work supporting
Redwood City women and men in building the skills, accessing the resources and developing the networks needed

Based on market analysis, operational plans, and financial projections, participants create practical written
Business Action Plans for the launch and growth of their own enterprises. A written Business Assessment is
required for individuals who are not yet in business to enroll in this class. Renaissance will offer 6 classes: 4 in
English and 2 in Spanish.
• Individual Consulting: Clients who are either already in business or in the process of implementing their Action
Plans will receive customized one-on-one consulting services on such topics as personal and business finance and
budgeting, credit building and credit repair, access to capital, sales, marketing and operations, etc. to assist them in
their business launch and growth.
• Workshops: Renaissance will offer 5 standalone skill-building and topical workshops, which increase business
knowledge and provide clients with networking opportunities, including:

assist clients in choosing a business entity, licensing, employment regulations, contracts, intellectual property and
general considerations and resources.
o Marketing/Branding: Topics include determining a business and personal “identity” creating logos, tag lines and
accompanying promotional materials to help businesses stand out among the competition.

Twitter and Facebook to reach target markets and teaches clients tools to develop a simple, effective, easy to
manage website.
• Business Mixers: These networking events bring together current and potential Renaissance clients, local
businesses, nonprofit organizations and government agencies, City officials, and our staff and consultants, to
discuss business ideas and goals, discover available resources, access potential customers, build networks, and
learn about local businesses. Renaissance will host 2 Business Mixers at the Redwood City Library.

City of South San Francisco
Project Description: Renaissance requests support to launch a new entrepreneurship program in partnership with
the City of South San Francisco to provide comprehensive small business training and support services to
extremely-low- to low-income English- and Spanish-speaking women and men in South San Francisco. Providing
services directly in South San Francisco will allow residents to receive customized, community-specific support that
will lead to the launch and growth of local businesses and the creation of new jobs.
Objectives: Renaissance’s objectives are to support the launch and growth of local small businesses, increase
economic development and create jobs for low-income South San Francisco women and men. Specifically, in FY
2014-15, the first year of the program, we will serve 35 English- and Spanish-speaking residents of South San
Francisco through our small business training classes and consulting services, who will launch and grow a
minimum of 5 small businesses and create 5 jobs for South San Francisco residents.
Program Activities: All services will be provided in both English and Spanish.

together local aspiring and established entrepreneurs to network, learn and be introduced to the products and
services of local businesses. It will include presentations and panel discussions with small business experts and
representatives from government agencies, financial institutions and nonprofit organizations. The Conference will
also feature an E2Pitch (Entrepreneur TWO Minute Pitch) Contest in which participating entrepreneurs will make
2-minute pitches to a panel of community leaders, small business experts and potential lenders/investors who will
provide feedback, advice and possible financing.
13A. Assessment of Need - Redwood City: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for
each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Business ownership is a key mechanism through which extremely-low- to low-income individuals facing barriers to
wage employment can achieve financial self-sufficiency, build assets for future generations and contribute to the
economic vitality of local communities. While the population of Redwood City includes 38.8% persons of Hispanic
descent, 50.2% women and 9.1% individuals living below the poverty line (US Census, 2010) these groups are
underrepresented in Redwood City’s small business community. For example, persons of Hispanic descent
represent just 14.9% of the business owners and only 29.1% of businesses are women-owned (US Census, 2010).
Renaissance recognizes that a lack of access to appropriate business training, capital and networks can hamper
individuals from under-served populations, such as low-income individuals, persons of color and women, in their
efforts to successfully start and grow competitive and sustainable businesses. Renaissance targets our work to
support motivated entrepreneurial women and men in Redwood City who do have access to traditional business
development resources and services. 78% of our Redwood City clients are Hispanic; 87% are people of color; 52%
are women, and 85% are extremely-low- to low-income. Our services provide the training and resources all
entrepreneurs need to succeed while directly addressing the societal, economic and personal barriers individuals
from under resourced communities face as they strive to achieve economic independence.
Cañada College in Redwood City and Skyline College in San Bruno both offer entrepreneurial training through
certificate programs, which are only available to their students. The San Mateo SBDC provides consulting services,
yet they are not targeted to specifically meet the needs of extremely-low to lower-income aspiring entrepreneurs.
We make cross referrals with these organizations when appropriate. Renaissance is the only organization offering
comprehensive entrepreneurship training and support services in English and Spanish specifically targeted to
extremely-low- to low-income residents of Redwood City.

13B. Assessment of Need - County of San Mateo: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Renaissance’s services in the County of San Mateo will focus on East Palo Alto (EPA) and the surrounding low-
income communities including East Menlo Park, Belle Haven, Pacifica and Half Moon Bay. Despite being located in
Silicon Valley, an area known for its successful high-tech companies and one of the most highly-educated resident
populations the country, 18% of the population in East Palo Alto lives below the poverty level, household income, at
$47,950, is the lowest in the county, and only 18% of residents over age 25 have a high school diploma (US
Census, 2010). In August 2013, the official unemployment rate was 13%, almost double the nation rate of 7.3%
(google.com/publicdata) with estimates of under- and unemployment at high as 25-35% in the most under-
resourced populations.
Business ownership is a key mechanism through which individuals facing barriers to wage employment can
achieve financial self-sufficiency and build assets. Small businesses are a growing force in the national economy;
in the United State, small businesses comprise 99.7% of the employer firms, employ over 50% of the working
population and created over 64% of the net new jobs from 2003-2011 (US SBA, September 2012). However, a lack
of access to training, capital, and networks can hamper women and men, especially those from underserved
communities, in their efforts to successfully start and develop competitive, sustainable businesses. With support
from San Mateo County, Renaissance will address these challenges by providing County residents with
appropriate, effective entrepreneurship training, financial education, and support services that directly address the
societal, economic, and personal barriers lower-income individuals face as they strive to achieve economic
independence through small business ownership.
Cañada College in Redwood City and Skyline College in San Bruno both offer entrepreneurial training through
certificate programs, which are only available to their students. The San Mateo SBDC provides consulting services,
yet they are not targeted to specifically meet the needs of extremely-low to lower-income aspiring entrepreneurs.

program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)

Business ownership is a key mechanism through which low-income individuals facing barriers to wage
employment can achieve financial self-sufficiency, build assets for future generations and contribute to the
economic vitality of our communities. The population of South San Francisco includes: 34% persons of Hispanic
descent, 50.6% women and 7% individuals living below the poverty line (US Census, 2010). However, these
groups are underrepresented in South San Francisco’s small business community. For example, persons of
Hispanic represent just 12.1% of the business owners and only 21.4% of businesses are women-owned (US
Census, 2010). A lack of access to business training, capital and networks can hamper individuals from under-
served populations, such as low-income individuals, persons of color and women, in their efforts to successfully
start and grow competitive and sustainable businesses. With the support of South San Francisco, Renaissance will
begin to address these disparities in the small business owner community by introducing small business training
and support services, directly targeting local under-resourced populations.
Cañada College in Redwood City and Skyline College in San Bruno both offer entrepreneurial training through

15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Renaissance evaluates our programs using both quantitative and qualitative measurements. Each client
completes an intake form upon entering Renaissance which provides baseline data on his/her work experience,
business status and goals, education level, household and personal income and other demographic data. We track
clients using Vista Share, a database designed for the Microenterprise Industry. We then conduct online, in person
and telephone surveys at six month intervals to determine client progress. Renaissance will continue to use these
methods to evaluate the impact of our programs and measure our results against our proposed deliverables in
Redwood City, the County of San Mateo and South San Francisco.
To determine effectiveness of our programs, we distribute surveys at the completion of each training class and
workshop to assess the value of the program based on clients' needs, the quality of program delivery and overall
client satisfaction. We then analyze this information to see where we are succeeding and where our programs may
need improvement.
Renaissance also participates in MicroTest, a national survey conducted by the Aspen Institute’s Fund for
Innovation, Education, Learning and Dissemination (FIELD) program, which evaluates clients on their experience
one year after they complete our training. According to our 2012 MicroTest survey:
• 98% of graduates who entered Renaissance with an existing business remain in business.
• 67% of clients who came to Renaissance in the pre-launch stage are now operating a business.
• The median gross revenues of our clients who have been in business full-time for one year is $60,656.
• 94% of Renaissance clients agreed that “It would not have been possible to start or sustain my business without
participation in Renaissance’s programs.”
Redwood City: In the first two quarters of FY 2013-2014 (July 1-December 31, 2013), Renaissance served 32
women and men who started and grew 8 small businesses and created 8 jobs. Renaissance is on track to reach
our goals of serving 60 women and men who will start and grow 15 businesses and create 15 jobs.
San Mateo County: In the first two quarters of FY 2013-2014 (July 1-December 31, 2013), Renaissance served 82
women and men who started and grew 20 small businesses and created 20 jobs. Renaissance has already
surpassed our goals of serving 80 women and men and we are on track to achieve our goal of 30 businesses
started and grown and 30 jobs created.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Renaissance conducts extensive community outreach and has developed relationships with multiple community-
serving organizations to both promote our services and to introduce our clients to their services. Renaissance

utilizes the facilities of the Redwood City Library and Sequoia Adult School to provide trainings and conduct
outreach to community members. We also partner with Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto (CLSEPA) and
Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights (LCCR) to offer legal support services. Renaissance partners with Community
Legal Services in East Palo Alto (CLSEPA), Samaritan House, Community Financial Resources (CFR), Project
WeHope, Nuestra Casa, the San Mateo Credit Union and Opportunity Fund to offer Secure Future$/Futuros
Seguro$ a financial education, skill-building and savings program. Additional organizations that Renaissance refers
clients to and receives client referrals from include Thrive Alliance, Phase2Careers, Score, Job Train, Cañada
College, Skyline College and the San Mateo SBDC.
Renaissance also recognizes that the needs of some community members go beyond entrepreneurship training.
To best serve these clients, we will develop a directory of available resources and will refer clients to organizations
that can best serve their personal needs for support such as housing assistance, language proficiency, substance
abuse, grief counseling, mental health, reentry, child care and other needs.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
A condition that continues to have dramatic impact on all the residents of San Mateo County, including Redwood
City, Daly City, and South San Francisco, is income inequality. These disparities are particularly pronounced
between racial groups and genders. Per capital incomes of Caucasian individuals in San Mateo County increased
by 4% between 2009-2011, while incomes of Hispanic and African American residents decreased by 5% and 18%,
respectively (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey). In 2011, the median income of women in San
Mateo County was $41,916, 20% lower than the median income of men, $52,437 (U.S. Census Bureau, American
Community Survey). Renaissance Mid-Peninsula will continue to target our services to people of color and women
to provide avenues for residents to achieve economic success, and build assets for future generations.
Without the support of the City of Redwood City, Renaissance would not be able to offer local services, tailored
specifically to Redwood City residents.
Without the support of the County of San Mateo, fewer County residents would have access to Renaissance Mid-
Peninsula’s small business training and support services.
New funds from the City of South San Francisco will allow Renaissance Mid-Peninsula to offer South San
Francisco women and men in-community services customized to meet the needs of South San Francisco
entrepreneurs.

3. Program Outcomes: In what ways has your program made a difference in the lives of the people you serve?
Please provide at least one concrete example from the people served in FY/13:
Renaissance’s programs and services have positively impacted the lives of the women and men we have served
in Redwood City. It is demonstrated by the businesses started and grown, the commercial vacancies filled, and
the residents who have been hired.
One example of an entrepreneur who has benefited from Renaissance’s services in Redwood City is Jorge
Madero, owner of Fantasy Marshmellows (fantasymarshmellows.com). Jorge first came to Renaissance Mid-
Peninsula in 2012; he took Start and Grow Smart and Business Preparation and in 2013 received individual
consulting to support him with the launch and growth of his new business. Jorge says, “I was clueless about
what… I was going to need to open my business. By fortune I found Renaissance. They offered me a lot of
support. They told me exactly… what to do in order to open my business and now, finally, I am so happy!”
Renaissance is proud to report that Jorge hosted the grand opening of Fantasy Marshmellows at 2853 El Camino
Real on December 7, 2013. The event was a great success, with local residents, potential customers and the then
Redwood City Mayor, Alicia A. Aguirre, in attendance.

12. Project Specific Narrative: Provide a narrative description of the specific activities to be carried out with the
requested funds. This should also include program objectives and key priorities for each specific jurisdiction.
The Rental Assistance Project will be administered through our Family Service Dept. that regularly assists low
income families in crisis with utility assistance (through the REACH Program), referrals, and seasonal assistance.
This rental assistance will be key to keeping families housed. In combination with the rental assistance families will
be required to attend a Financial Mentoring Program. This Program will be facilitated by the Corps Officer, Lt. Sean
O'Brien and he will use the curriculum created by the National Endowment for Financial Education for The
Salvation Army. The curriculum covers Budgeting, Reducing Debt, Saving, Credit, Banking, and Setting Financial
Goals. The objective of the program is twofold - to keep families housed and increase financial literacy. These two
objectives support the City's objective of reducing homelessness.
13A. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
The Family Service Worker who has been assisting low income families for many years reports that weekly she
has multiple families approach her for rental assistance. These families are behind one or two months and at the
third month face eviction. The families can be elderly couples or families with 6-7 young children. What they all
have in common is low fixed income and a hardship such as a medical emergency, loss of work, or loss of person
in the home. The families served are from South San Francisco. The source of the information is Marlina Molina,
Family Service Worker, South San Francisco, The Salvation Army. The date of information is January 21, 2013.
Marlina currently refers to St. Vincent De Paul for rental assistance in San Mateo County and the Daly City
Community Resource Center for Daly City and Colma.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
This project would begin July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. TSA would assist two or three families a month
integrating the Financial Education/Mentoring. The classes would be offered weekly to accommodate families
completing them within the time frame of receiving their assistance. Because the amount of money to be dispersed
will only serve 10-12 families there will be no problem expending the funds in a timely manner.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Success will be determined by the following:
10-12 families will be kept housed.
10-12 families will complete 2-3 financial education classes each for a total of 20-36 classes offered, taken, and
completed.
Eligible families will also receive REACH assistance.
Families will be referred to other services as needed.

The local bank Wells Fargo who has been involved already in providing Financial Education on site.
Other Service Providers dependent on family needs.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
These funds will allow our agency to provide rental assistance which we have not been able to do to date due to a
lack of funds.

by the program. For each response below please indicate both the number of households and number of

about this program will be made available to all demographics.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
We have an annual amount designated for South City San Francisco through the REACH Program with PG&E. In
addition the Corps does fundraising through bell ringing/ kettles and mail appeal. The development department at
divisional headquarters also does fundraising including planned giving and major gifts. All of this contributes to the
operating budget. At present there is no other money designated for rental assistance but the 2 staff involved will
be paid by TSA.

Safe Harbor Shelter is a 90 bed homeless shelter located in South San Francisco that provides both emergency
and transitional housing for homeless women and men 18 years and older from San Mateo County. Shelter
residents are permitted to enter the shelter by referral through a member of the Core Service Agency Network or
other agency.
Safe Harbor is San Mateo County’s only shelter where people who are homeless and under the influence have
access to the shelter without a sobriety requirement. Safe Harbor houses clients that are among the County’s most
vulnerable, many being dually diagnosed with both addiction and mental health disorder or addiction and physical
health disorder. Our goal is to meet the very complex needs of our residents.
Each day, 90 people receive safe and warm shelter at Safe Harbor as well as nutritious meals, on-site case
management, counseling, educational programming, daily transportation vouchers, access to benefits enrollment
and other supportive services. In addition, dinner is served daily. The program utilizes a tiered case management
model that is carried out by our dedicated Safe Harbor case management and intake team. Case managers act as
advocates for residents, connecting them with much needed community services, including referrals to housing
resources, mental health services, AOD programming, and employment resources. Participants are encouraged to
save 50% of their income and work closely with their case manager on a budgeting and housing plan. Safe Harbor
works with each client to develop an individual case plan that addresses any barriers to housing. 127 clients found
permanent housing during the last fiscal year ending 6/30/2013.
On-site services offered to clients include San Mateo County Mobile Public Health Clinic and Mobile Dental Clinic,
County Mental Health Services, housing workshops, plus budgeting and financial education workshops taught by
volunteers from the financial sector. Case managers work directly with the San Mateo Behavioral Health and
Recovery Services to treat clients who have a history of mental illness or who are identified through assessment to
exhibit symptoms associated with mental illness.
Residents are involved in the daily operations of the shelter. They are assigned, according to their abilities, duties

assisting with housekeeping, food service set-up and clean-up, and other basic chores. Safe Harbor clients are
required to make their beds daily and keep the area around their bed clean and tidy. To increase a sense of
community and connectedness, clients volunteer to decorate the shelter for holidays, and some volunteer to help at
the front desk answering phones.
We are particularly proud of our successful Safe Harbor for Health program, now funded by San Mateo Medical
Center’s Healthcare for the Homeless program, that provides health case management for a cohort of shelter
clients who have been identified with healthcare needs. As a lifeline for the county’s most chronically ill homeless
adults, Safe Harbor for Health continues to focus on increasing clients’ access to healthcare services through
tireless patient advocacy, helping clients navigate through an often difficult and complex healthcare system,
working with community partners to develop a diverse array of health awareness programming, and linking clients
to eligible benefits, including CareAdvantage, Medi-Cal and ACE. The health case manager’s commitment to
building meaningful collaborations with outside agencies to ensure continual quality care for clients in her caseload
and her active participation on numerous countywide advocacy committees and taskforces provides Safe Harbor
clients with a true advocate for their healthcare needs.
We are continuing our “Suportive Services for Veteran Families” program in partnership with InnVision Shelter
Network. This project provides additional services and resources for our veteran population at the shelter and
outside the shelter with homelessness prevention services. We also received new federal funding for fiscal year
2014 to provide rapid re-housing assistance for homeless individuals and families who reside at Safe Harbor and
other shelters and are ready to move to permanent housing but lack fiscal resources. This funding provides
financial assistance for moving costs, security deposits and first month’s rent to help clients move to permanent
housing.
Funding to support Safe Harbor under the CDBG program is integral to Safe Harbor’s continued success and
sustainability. Funding from the County of San Mateo, the City of Redwood City, and the City of South San
Francisco ensures ongoing and uninterrupted progress in residents’ case management plans to regain self-
sufficiency. To this end, CDBG funding benefits Safe Harbor Clients by ensuring continuous supportive services.
Our proposed program objectives below are provided within a framework that also outlines our proposed activities,
indicators and outcomes. All of these activities support the needs identified in this grant proposal while offering
opportunities for
Shelter clients to build self-sufficiency skills and resources in a safe and supportive environment.

13A. Assessment of Need - Redwood City: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for
each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
According to San Mateo County’s HOPE Plan (Housing Our People Effectively – the County’s ten-year plan to
address homelessness at its core), “due to the County's severe housing crisis, the need for more shelter beds is
greater than ever.” Safe Harbor addresses the identified client needs by providing a total of 90 emergency and
transitional beds every night for County residents who become homeless.
Safe Harbor Shelter is located in South San Francisco. Admission to Safe Harbor Shelter is accessed by obtaining
a referral from a core homeless service provider in San Mateo County. Safe Harbor primary referrals come through
the County Human Services Agency Office in South San Francisco that now manages the shelter waiting list of
men and women who have been screened for eligibility according to Safe Harbor individual eligibility requirements.
Residents are provided referrals for beds on a first come, first serve basis. Access to the shelter is dependent on
bed availability. Safe Harbor is open 365 days a year, seven days a week, twenty-four hours per day, and provides
over 30,200 nights of shelter every year. Residents are eligible to participate in the emergency housing program for
a maximum of 60 consecutive days and in the transitional housing program for a maximum of 180 consecutive
days.
Safe Harbor’s service plan is consistent with the second recommendation of the County's HOPE Plan, which is to
“Prevent and End Homelessness by Delivering Timely, Flexible Services to Support Stability and Independence.”
Identified Program Needs
The County of San Mateo determined the need for Safe Harbor. In early 1988, the County of San Mateo
approached Samaritan House to run the Armory as a winter shelter. In 1999, the County again approached
Samaritan House to expand services for the Shelter to year round services. Funding was raised and a new 90 bed
facility in South San Francisco opened in 2000 housing the County’s homeless with emergency and transitional
shelter services.
As with our other services, we determine the evolving needs for our program through a mix of experience, input
from collaborators, findings of local studies sponsored by task forces concerned with homelessness, and from the
clients themselves. Throughout all of these sources a common thread that runs through each is that the high cost
of living of San Mateo County, as well as the other jurisdictions within the County, masks significant pockets of
poverty.
Our request for funding responds to the City of Redwood City’s CDBG program goal “to support projects that
provide assistance to low and moderate income households” including “Homeless Assistance Activities” such as
“emergency shelter and transitional housing and related services for homeless and those at risk of homelessness,
youth and single persons.” Redwood City’s homeless population needs are documented in Redwood City’s
Consolidated Plan 2010 – 2015, the County’s HOPE Plan, and the 2011 and 2013 Homeless Censuses. Redwood
City has determined priority need services for the homeless, including: job training and education, mental health
services, routine and preventative health care, access to existing services, and utilization of entitlement programs.
All of these activities are offered as part of the continuum of services provided through Safe Harbor in house or
through our extensive referral network.
According to the May 2013 San Mateo County Homeless Census and Survey count, there were 645 total homeless
people and 307 unsheltered homeless persons counted in the City of Redwood City. 23.62% of all unsheltered
homeless persons in the County are residents of Redwood City, a 32% increase from the previous count.
Meanwhile, Redwood City residents comprise 10.69% of the County population, in general. Without shelter
facilities and supportive homeless services, most of these homeless individuals have little opportunity to find
employment or stable housing and are likely to further strain the city's resources.
Other Factors Determining Needs
Input we receive from homeless services providers who collaborate with us on sheltering the homeless indicates
the demand for emergency housing remains high. This is borne out by community needs data as well as shelter
census data and the 2013 San Mateo County Homeless Census and Survey. Results of the county’s biennial “one
night count” from May 2013 indicate:
--Overall, the 2013 homeless count of 2,281 total people represented a 6% increase compared to 2011. Looking at
the long-term trend, the total number of homeless people has been rising slowly since 2007.

--South San Francisco – the city in which Safe Harbor homeless shelter is situated – has the second highest
population of unsheltered people – 172; and
--A very high proportion of unsheltered homeless people in San Mateo County have been homeless repeatedly
and/or for long periods of time. The survey found that 65% were “chronically” homeless, meaning that they were
disabled and had been homeless for longer than 12 months or for 4 times in the past 3 years. This represented an
increase from 2011, when only 46% were chronically homeless.
High unemployment, rising rents and lack of affordable housing continue to be a factor in the rate of homelessness.
San Mateo County Department of Housing data shows that the average market rent for a one-bedroom apartment
in the county is now $2,053 a month — an 8.2 percent increase from last year. There was also a 9.7 percent
increase in renting a two-bedroom apartment, with an average of $2,337 rent price. Meanwhile, the county’s
homeless rate has risen 12 percent since 2011, according to a report from the county’s Human Services Agency. In
a July 31, 2013 article in the Daily Journal, Bill Lowell, director of the county’s Department of Housing, said that “it’s
a crisis to find places to rent in the county.” He said the “county’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is
not enough in this climate to help those struggling to pay rents in the area.”
Target Population
At Safe Harbor, Samaritan House serves homeless single adults over 18 years of age who face multiple and
serious barriers to achieving stability and permanent housing. Safe Harbor is San Mateo County’s only shelter
where people who are homeless and under the influence have access to the shelter without a sobriety requirement.
Safe Harbor houses clients that are among the County’s most vulnerable, many being dually diagnosed with both
addiction and mental health disorder or addiction and physical health disorder. All homeless clients served by Safe
Harbor are extremely low to very low income, and Samaritan House has a strict application and verification process
to document eligibility based on household income. Extremely Low-Income individuals have a maximum income of
30% of median family income (MFI). The Very-low income limit reflects 50% of MFI. Clients of Safe Harbor arrive
from all areas of San Mateo County, including Redwood City.
Similar Programs in the Community
In the North County (i.e. Daly City, Brisbane, South San Francisco, San Bruno) there are no other homeless
shelters. Instead, there are motel voucher programs through St. Vincent de Paul; transitional housing in Daly City
through Caminar (Eucalyptus House); and transitional housing for those with substance abuse issues through
Catholic Charities (San Bruno), and the Latino Commission (Brisbane & Daly City). Safe Harbor’s Admissions
Policy is to accept homeless individuals under the influence unless they are a danger to themselves or others. For
this reason, this program is unique in San Mateo County.

Our request for funding to the County responds to the County CDBG priority to Support Public Services Programs,
including “operational support for emergency shelters and transitional housing programs.” According to the County
of San Mateo Human Services Agency Neighbors in Need Report 2005: “San Mateo County and the low-income
population identify housing and homelessness as a significant problem.” (p. v) “When compared to other residents,
people with low incomes and HSA clients are two-to-three times as likely to have been displaced from their home
over the past two years. About one-in-twenty HSA clients have been homeless in the last two years. About seventy
percent of residents grade the availability of homeless shelters and programs as fair or poor.” (ibid, p. 11)

homeless rate has risen 12 percent since 2011, according to a report from the county’s Human Services Agency. In
a July 31, 2013 article in the Daily Journal, Bill Lowell, director of the county’s Department of Housing, said that “it’s
a crisis to find places to rent in the county.” He said the “county’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is
not enough in this climate to help those struggling to pay rents in the area.”
Target Population
At Safe Harbor, Samaritan House serves homeless single adults over 18 years of age who face multiple and
serious barriers to achieving stability and permanent housing. Safe Harbor is San Mateo County’s only shelter
where people who are homeless and under the influence have access to the shelter without a sobriety requirement.
Safe Harbor houses clients that are among the County’s most vulnerable, many being dually diagnosed with both
addiction and mental health disorder or addiction and physical health disorder. All homeless clients served by Safe
Harbor are extremely low to very low income, and Samaritan House has a strict application and verification process
to document eligibility based on household income. Extremely Low-Income individuals have a maximum income of
30% of median family income (MFI). The Very-low income limit reflects 50% of MFI. Clients of Safe Harbor arrive
from all areas of San Mateo County, including South San Francisco.
Similar Programs in the Community
In the North County (i.e. Daly City, Brisbane, South San Francisco, San Bruno) there are no other homeless
shelters. Instead, there are motel voucher programs through St. Vincent de Paul; transitional housing in Daly City
through Caminar (Eucalyptus House); and transitional housing for those with substance abuse issues through
Catholic Charities (San Bruno), and the Latino Commission (Brisbane & Daly City). Safe Harbor’s Admissions
Policy is to accept homeless individuals under the influence unless they are a danger to themselves or others. For
this reason, this program is unique in San Mateo County.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
Safe Harbor is an ongoing, continuing program, open to San Mateo County’s homeless population, 24 hours a
day, 7 days per week. Therefore, we do not foresee any obstacles to implementing our project workplan as
described, fully achieving our projected goals, and fully expending our contracted funds by the end of the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2015.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Samaritan House utilizes a mix of process and outcomes evaluation strategies to measure its program outcomes
and effectiveness. Safe Harbor tracks the number of clients who participate in support services and who achieve
successful milestones. Given the quantitative objectives we have set, evaluating our success is a fairly
straightforward process. Specifically, given the current year’s objectives, the process of determining whether or not
we were successful involves accounting for what percentage of shelter residents were referred to housing
assistance, received help with transportation, were connected to permanent housing, and were connected to job
training and placement. This data is shared with the various jurisdictions through regularly submitted contract
reports.
Accomplishments to date include: exceeded mid-year contract outcomes for the City of Redwood City and County
of San Mateo.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
To effectively work with the most challenging homeless population in the County, Samaritan House leverages its
resources and ensures timely and relevant services for its clients through close collaborations with local nonprofits
and government agencies. Main collaborators include the in-County shelter and housing system and social service
agencies. For example, Safe Harbor works with the Core Agencies and the County HSA office in South San
Francisco to ensure all county residents in need of shelter are aware of the shelter's services. To increase a client’s
chances of success, a number of social services are provided through agencies that are aligned with Safe Harbor
through formal linkages designed to address the root causes of homelessness (i.e., substance abuse, lack of
employment, health issues, mental health problems, and a lack of financial literacy.) Safe Harbor also partners with
InnVision Shelter Network and other shelters to form a continuum of care for the homeless.

17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
Safe Harbor clients continue to face challenges with respect to the lack of employment opportunities, which
exacerbates their ability to stay stably housed. While the job market has improved in certain sectors, especially for
professional and business services, these gains are not applicable to our clients who are generally employed in
retail trade and other low skilled occupations. Although several of our clients are able to secure employment, their
wages are often not enough to reach realistic housing goals, especially for our increasingly aging and disabled
adult population.
The lack of affordable housing in San Mateo County is a formidable obstacle that is increasingly preventing our
clients from locating permanent housing. As rents continue to rise in San Mateo County, many of our homeless
clients are increasingly unable to transition to permanent housing, even if they have received a three year HRP
housing voucher. The gap between what our clients can afford to pay and the average rental cost is increasingly
unmanageable. Recent data suggests that some 18 percent of San Mateo County residents live in poverty, almost
three times as many people as are considered poor by the federal government. According to county Housing
Department data, the average rental cost of a one-bedroom apartment in the county is $2,053 a month — an 8.2
percent increase over last year. The Housing Authority offers multiple 30 day extensions, which our clients have
had to request, because of the struggles they are facing finding rentals.
Given the economic trends that are adversely affecting our service population, our program would be tremendously
affected by any loss or decrease in CDBG funds that are an integral part of Safe Harbor Shelter’s budget. Without
these funds we cannot assure the same level of service we have historically provided to all of the County’s
homeless adults seeking our help.

Safe Harbor Homeless Shelter provides warmth, shelter, nutrition, and basic healthcare for the homeless in a
compassionate manner so they can meet their basic needs for shelter. The following client story demonstrates the
impact that Safe Harbor has made on the life of just one recent resident of the shelter.
Kate, a resident of Redwood City, is spending her fourth visit at Safe Harbor. She became homeless when her
spouse passed away, and she could no longer afford her rent. In her early seventies, Kate is a senior citizen with
history of substance abuse. She has two adult children who live in New York, but she has no contact with them
and unfortunately has no family in the immediate area. Her only income is Social Security, so she cannot afford
housing in San Mateo County. During a previous stay, Kate was placed on a waiting list for Gateway Properties,
through the San Mateo County Housing Authority. She was recently notified that space had opened up with a
monthly rental payment of one third of her monthly income and that she can move in as early as February.
Because Kate was showing signs of dementia and confusion, her case manager contacted Adult Protective
Services, and with the support of her physician, they have set up a Rep Payee through the County who will help
manage her finances, see that her bills are paid, and ensure that a representative from the county makes home
visits to check on her well being. All these arrangements will be made prior to he

Funds will enable us to provide lower fees to 17 clients, supporting them with fee grants ranging from $100 to $300
each, depending on where the client falls on our sliding fee scale. The funds will also help us cover the true cost of
providing treatment that is not covered by clients who are not able to pay the full fee. This additional support
provides fee grants ranging from $300 to $600 each, depending on where the client is on our sliding scale. Since
clients are not able to complete the program unless all of their fees are paid, we will be able to measure the
outcome of this program by the increased client completion rate in our programs. As a result:
75% of clients completing the program will report no alcohol or drug use in the prior 30 days.

13A. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
All San Mateo County residents are directly or indirectly affected by the negative impact of alcohol and other drug
abuse and/co-occurring disorders. The harmful affects are seen daily in our child welfare system, our hospital
emergency rooms, our jails and criminal justice system, our homeless population, and schools. According to the
U.S. Census Bureau, 707,161 people lived in San Mateo County in 2000. In 2006, there are approximately 57,000
people in the county who suffer directly from alcohol and other drug abuse and are in need of treatment including
approximately 52,105 adults and 4,556 youth ages 12 to 17 years old. In other words, approximately 1 in 12 San
Mateo County residents abuse alcohol or drugs. However, this does not quantify the collateral impact on the lives
of family members, friends and the community at large. Of the 57,000 people who suffer from alcohol and other
drug abuse, there are approximately 20,000 low-income people who would qualify for publicly funded treatment.
Unfortunately, in 2005-2006, San Mateo County was only able to provide alcohol and drug treatment to
approximately 3,790 people. (AOD Strategic Directions 2010 – Challenges & Choices)
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
Services are currently being provided and we are ready to continue services July 1, 2014.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Sitike interviews the clients with the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) evaluation a standard evaluation tool used in
California.
In addition we conduct “Feedback Week, twice per year. Our Program Manager visits each group and/or Clinical
Director and the clients are given an evaluation form to complete and a dialouge ensues about the client’s
experience.
Clients are encouraged to fill out a Client Feedback Form, at any time during their services. The form is also given
to the client when they receive their last individual counseling session and are asked to complete the form. The
responses are then reviewed with the clinical director and the counselor.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
We work closely with San Mateo County Behavioral Health & Recovery Services, San Mateo County Child
Protective Services and San Mateo County Adult Probation Department to provide services that the client is
mandated to attend.
We accept referrals from and make referrals to Pyramid Alternatives, Latino Commission, Asian American
Recovery Services, Goodwill, Catherine Center, Project Read and St. Vincent De Paul Society.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
The current economy has made it very difficult for clients to afford the full cost of providing services. We have seen
a marked increase in the number of unemployed clients requesting to pay no or drastically reduced fees.
Our contracts with County departments have remained flat while we have experienced an increase in the cost of
health insurance and workers compensation premiums.
Not receiving these funds adds an additional pressure to raise funds through other means such as Foundations
and private donors who are also experiencing an economic pressure and as a result are giving less than in years
before.

We are seeking funds for our Transitional Housing Placement Plus (THP+) program that serves emancipated
foster youth aged 18-25. The program serves approximately 18 youth each year (including parenting youth) with
safe and stable living accommodations for up to two years (cumulative) with, among other options, a three-unit
apartment complex in South San Francisco. Our counselors provide basic life skill building, consumer education
and instruction in budgeting, the use of credit, housekeeping, menu planning, food preparation and parenting skills;
educational opportunities such as GED preparation, post-secondary training and vocational education; assistance
in job preparation and attainment, career counseling and job placement; interpersonal skill building, to enhance
young peoples abilities to establish positive relationships with peers and adults, make decisions and manage
stress, and mental health and physical health care. Youth are provided with a matched savings account that they
receive upon completion; a stipend for groceries and transportation. We use a positive youth development
approach which has been proven to prevent risky behavior and give young people the chance to exercise
leadership, build skills and become involved in their communities.
13A. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Homeless and former foster youth have an elevated risk for a variety of mental health problems and a history of
foster care correlates with becoming homeless at an earlier age and remaining homeless for a longer period of
time. As victims of abuse or neglect, these youth cant return to their families but they are not equipped to live on
their own. They have to work to support themselves, often without having a high school degree. They have to seek
their own role models rather than leaning on parents. Many use drugs or participate in survival sex to stay fed and
alive. Our THP program serves emancipated foster youth aged 18-24 with safe and stable housing, independent
living skills training, financial education, a matched savings account and pairs them with caring adult mentors case
managers and therapists that help them stay in and complete high school, access health care, obtain job training,
fill out employment and college applications and provide mental health support. The programs break the cycle of
homelessness among these youth, connect youth to community resources and promote personal economic
stability. Research has shown that 82% of youth who enter transitional living programs like ours make the transition
to positive independent living rather than to the streets or homeless shelters. The Corporation for Supportive
Housing and the John Burton Foundation have established that supportive housing and independent living skills
training are effective and necessary in assisting homeless and former foster youth in making successful transitions
to positive self-sufficient living.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
The project is in existence and requires no implementation time. Goals will be achieved with individual clients
throughout their participation in the program as follows:80% of youth will transition to a positive living situation (live
in safe and appropriate setting, with relative or other adult role models; in shared housing with host families; or
stable alternative independent living situation)80% of youth who have not attained basic educational qualifications
will maintain enrollment in or complete an educational program such as high school or GED 80% of youth who
have graduated from high school will secure and maintain employment, volunteer placement or pursue post-

secondary or vocational training100% of youth with substance abuse issues referred to treatment. The project has
expenses that are consistent throughout the year and if awarded funding from the City of South San Francisco, our
Finance Department will draw down an amount necessary according to actual expenses.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
We are not currently receiving CDBG grant funds but did receive a general fund grant in 2012-2013. We submitted
quarterly reports describing our accomplishments, which included: Goal 1: The THP+ program is working with
emancipated foster youth to stabilize their housing situation. All residents are working towards their goals,
improving their independent living skills, and developing plans to transition to being self-sufficient and planning
toward their future goals.
Goal 2: 7 of the 10 residents were attending school and working with staff and other school resources to support
their
success.6 of those residents are in community colleges (5 at City College of SF, 1 at CSM, and 1 at Skyline) and 1
resident is
at a 4-year college, San Francisco State. The 3 residents who are not in school are planning on attending and
recently moved in. 2 of these new residents are in process of enrolling at Skyline and connected with the foster
youth liaison. The other youth is connecting with Baden College to work on his GED.
9 of the 10 residents are working. The residents are employed in a variety of jobs in the community. The one
resident not working is attending college full time and playing sports for her school. 6 of these youth are employed
by STEP. However, the one youth who remains unemployed was not able to start her STEP internship but was
hired. 3 of the other youth in STEP are working at other jobs as well. Goal 3: Measure 1- 100% (8) of the
participants in the program entered with a high school diploma or GED. This one youth is working toward his
diploma at City College while also obtaining college credits.Measures 2- 100% (8) of the participants in the
program were involved in educational or vocational programs.
Evaluation methods to measure success include pre and post youth development asset gains surveys; Ansel-
Casey Life Skills assessments; client self-evaluations and clinicians' assessments of client progress. Most of our
direct service measures are tracked through the national 'Runaway and Homeless Youth Management Information
System' (RHYMIS). We also evaluate success through our internal data monitoring and evaluation. Data on
participants' progress towards education and work goals are noted in individual case files and in our database for
tracking against annual goals. Client data is collected and stored in Efforts to Outcomes (ETO) software, developed
Social Solutions, a company founded by a former case manager with foster youth. ETO is a secure, web-based
performance management data base that is accessed for tracking and reporting purposes. Clients participate in
program evaluation by providing information during weekly group meetings.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Our transitional housing placement plus program is the only one of its kind in our County. We are forutnate to
collaborate with a number of noteworthy organizations. To support outreach to former foster youth, the program
partners with local high schools, as well as area community colleges. We also collaborates with JobTrain, which
provides low-income individuals with vocational skills and life skills development and with groups who give
presentations to our residents such as the Rape Crisis Center, Standing Against Global Exploitation project, which
works with youth traumatized by prostitution. Over the past two years, we have also collaborated with Narcotics
Anonymous and Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse (CORA) to provide presentations to residents
highlighting self respect, emotional balance and setting boundaries.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
In California, 65% of youth leaving foster care do so without a place to live. Former foster youth face
disproportionately higher rates of dependence on public assistance, incarceration, unemployment, substance
abuse and mental health disorders. Over 70% of all State Penitentiary inmates have spent time in foster care.
These youth make the transition to adulthood alone and un-served. They remain largely unclaimed, falling through
the cracks. Poverty is pervasive and families struggle to meet their basic needs. Because the cost of housing is so
high, families respond by doubling and tripling up in studio apartments or they seek shelter in substandard
dwellings such as garages and storage sheds. Youth stay away from home to avoid overcrowded conditions and
many describe lining up on whatever floor space is available to sleep at night. Funds would allow us to serve more

We use various strategies to ensure that we reach all ethnic backgrounds. This includes recruiting a diverse group
of student and adult volunteers; actively recruiting for bilingual and Spanish-speaking volunteers; maintaining
strong relationships with community-based workers; having materials available in Spanish as well as English; and
maintaining an up-to-date list of Spanish-speaking referral resources so that clients can receive services in their
own language. Many staff and volunteers are bilingual. We work with the Lifeline Spanish language network to
meet their requirements for sharing Bay Area calls and having a dedicated Spanish line. We have served the
community for the past 36 years by addressing issues that disproportionately affect the health and well-being of

children, youth and families in the lower socio-economic strata, those without insurance and those from
communities of color, which may be the reason we serve a lower percentage of Caucasian and Asian clients. In
addition, according to kidsdata.org, a majority of children in foster care in San Mateo County are African American,
Latino/a and Caucasian. The above statistics are taken from our most recently completed 12 months (2013) and
reflect that we did not serve Caucasian clients. However, in 2012, 16% of youth served were Caucasian. Our
population ethnicity fluctuates and generally is majority Latino/a, African American, Caucasian and Other/Multi
race.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
Funding already committed for 2013-2014 is $50,000 from the California Wellness Foundation; $20,000 from the
Stulsaft Foundation, $20,000 from the Genentech Foundation and $15,000 from the Cisco Foundation. The other
revenue sources listed in the proposed budget are all pending. They are included based on past approvals and
applications planned or under consideration. Our Youth Supportive Housing programs have been in existence for
over 30 years and we would continue to sustain the program after funding from the community foundation ends.
StarVista is a large multi-service agency with a diversified funding base and we have over 37 years of experience
in maintaining programs as grant sources change. We have had the opportunity to implement numerous grants
over the years, allowing an array of creative and effective services, including receiving consecutive years of federal
grants from the Family and Youth Services bureau.

We are submitting this proposal to redesign and continue providing our Spanish language Latino Parents’ Group in
South San Francisco. The goal of our parent’s group is to improve family functioning by providing parents with
effective parenting skills; and to specifically address issues in a cultural context associated with immigration,
acculturation, and generational differences between parents and children. Many of the parents who seek out the
group are dealing with the challenges of their pre-adolescent and adolescent children who are growing up in a
different cultural context and have associated trauma due to immigration and separation resulting from coming to
the United States. The most common issues are communication problems within the family, loss of cultural
systems, school performance, domestic violence, household substance abuse, deportation/legality issues, and
anxiety over how to prevent dangerous, risk-taking behaviors as their children get older. In some cases, they are
parents of youth who have been arrested for first-time offenses or are gang-involved. These issues usually affect
the entire family; even when the triggering issue is about an older child, there are often other siblings touched by
the crisis in the family system. Immigrant and Spanish-speaking parents are usually more isolated from services
that enable them to directly address and resolve critical issues. Therefore, we have designed the group to
empower parents to overcome barriers and see themselves as problem solvers in their families.
The Latino Parents’ group is a psycho education group facilitated by a mental health professional. Topics for
parenting groups will include but are not limited to: developing a family vision; teaching children to feel safe, strong,
and good about themselves; learning about children's emotional development; responding to difficult/challenging
behavior; helping children deal with separation and fear; communicating effectively; negotiating the educational
system; dealing with emotional issues of cultural dislocation and establishing new identities; identifying substance
use and abuse; identifying indicators of depression, anxiety and mental disorders; and, building a supportive
community. Parents will be involved in setting discussion agendas and proposing new topics for discussion.
Discussion topics and case reviews include: trauma associated with immigration; Latino family systems; identity
conflict among children and parents; culturally appropriate assessment, developing therapeutic alliances, making
referrals that “stick”; destigmatizing behavioral health, and connecting families to resources.
Despite the group being facilitated by a mental health professional, the group members are actively involved in
defining the issues they need to discuss. Many times, the activities presented by the therapist are altered as
needed, and over time, parents begin to claim the process of the group, taking over some facilitation. This means
that the therapist is carefully skilled at balancing the client-led process with opportunities for psycho-social
education and communications and problems-solving skills practice.

Changes to the Parents Group.
For over 15 years, this group has been led by Dr. Gloria Castro. For the first time, we will transfer the facilitation of
the Friday morning group to a new clinician. The transition and “warm hand-off” will take place between February
and March of 2014, before the new funding cycle. Dr. Castro will continue to work with our agency as a mental
health consultant and trainer for cultural and linguistically appropriate services for Latino and immigrant families as
we continue to expand our team to ten Spanish speaking clinicians.
Second, the location of the parents group moved in 2013 from Spruce Elementary School to the South San
Francisco Youth Service Bureau clinic at 1486 Huntington Avenue. We were required to move the group as a result
of policy changes at the South San Francisco School District that were cost prohibitive. This move did not reduce
the participation of the dedicated parents from that school. However, since this morning group has been focused
primarily on parenting issues associated with younger children and is conveniently scheduled from 8:30 – 10:00am
after parents drop their children for school, we will expand vigorously to attract parents from Martin and Los
Cerritos Elementary Schools, where we have YSB Counselors currently working on site.
Third, we will create a second parents group to meet in the afternoon at the South San Francisco Youth Service
Bureau that will be focused more strategically on parenting issues associated with middle and high school youth.
The meeting will run from 4:00 – 5:00, between the end of school and before dinner time. This new group will be
formed through two different community outreach efforts. The first is outreach in the middle schools in South San
Francisco through YSB counseling staff already providing on-site mental health services at Alta Loma, Parkway
and Westborough Middle Schools. (Additional outreach efforts listed below). In addition, we will offer the group to
the parents of all MediCal qualified families currently receiving clinic services or who are awaiting counseling
appointments at the YSB clinic. Since our demand is so high, we regularly have 10-15 families or individual youth
waiting for appointment openings. Since many of the participants in this group are anxious about engaging in family
therapy for the first time, we will integrate the topic of “what to expect in counseling” as a major theme of that
group.
Forty (40) parents per year will participate in a least 10 group sessions during each fiscal year. Thirty-six (36) of the
participants will qualify as low-income by CDBG standards.
The five components of the program are:
1. Initial mental heath assessment.
2. Weekly 1 to 1.5 hour parent support/education groups that each run for a duration of 15 weeks.
3. Information and referral service to community resources.
4. Crisis intervention and follow up services, when necessary.
5. Liaison service with schools and their ESL programs.
Goals and Objectives.
The goal of the program is to improve family functioning by providing effective parenting skills in a safe, supportive,
empowering environment. Our objectives are both quantitative and qualitative.
Quantitative: 40 parents will participate in at least ten sessions. 36 of them will qualify as low-income.
Qualitative: The mental health outcomes we seek are measured by outcomes and satisfaction surveys. We expect
80% of surveyed participants to strongly agree with the following outcomes:
1. The group helped them better understand their children's behavior and learn to set limits in an effective and
appropriate manner with their children.
2. Participating in a supportive group with other parents with similar challenges relieved some of the stress and
anxiety of parenting.
3. They feel that they can communicate better with their children and within the family.
4. They feel better equipped to support their children in school and more capable of communicating with their
child's school or teachers.
5. They feel better able to identify signs of and talk about drug and alcohol use and other risky behaviors with their
children as they get older.
6. They can seek out at least one person from the group they could call on for support.
7. They know where to go to find family or individual counseling if needed.
8. They feel more comfortable talking about mental health conditions and emotional issues than before participating
in the group.
9. They feel they are part of a supportive community that understands their problems and challenges.

10. They would recommend this program to other parents.
The Community Learning Center offers a Spanish-speaking parenting class on Friday nights. Our program is
distinguished by being part of a mental health clinic that attracts its own clientele who come for help with precisely
the issues our groups are designed to address. It also offers flexible options for morning hours and evening hours
with child care. More importantly, our program integrates mental health assessment, individual assistance, referrals
and crises intervention. Our close working relationship with schools, for example, enables us to help a parent
directly with school issues that may be caused by a cultural or language barrier or fear of the system. Since many
families are experiencing high levels of stress, we also provide referrals for community resources, assist with
language translation and intervene in crises as necessary. This includes an assessment of eligibility of any family
members for Medi-Cal and Healthy Kids, and assisting them through the enrollment process. Our groups are also
conducted registered Marriage and Family Therapists or Clinical Social Workers who bring a high level of expertise
in clinical practices as well as emotional issues associated with immigration. Dr. Castro, who will provide
consultation and training to the group clinicians, is embedded in the Latino community and the support service
complex of South San Francisco; she simply knows everyone and is instrumental in helping parents navigate this
community. She is bilingual and bicultural and is well-respected in the community from which many of the parents
come.
Agency background. Since 1976, the South San Francisco Youth Service Bureau (SSF YSB) has been providing
mental health and social services to low-income families in our clinic on Huntington Avenue and in numerous
schools. We have built a high-quality parent education and support program for low-income, limited-English
speaking and immigrant families that has met for several years at Spruce Elementary School. It represents one of
our signature programs that we provide free to low-income, isolated populations. Our goal is to keep the program
free and accessible.Overview of Agency. The mission of the Youth Service Bureaus is to support families in
nurturing and developing connected, healthy and productive youth. We do this by making mental health and social
services affordable and accessible to families, schools, and communities throughout San Mateo and San Francisco
Counties. Forty-one years ago, the YSBs opened their doors with AB 90 funds to keep young people out of juvenile
hall. Initial services were developed in close collaboration with the San Mateo Juvenile Probation Department, local
police departments, city and county leaders and local school districts. As times changed, the YSBs adapted to the
shifting trends in the community with a major emphasis on serving families through both intervention and treatment
in our clinics and in schools.We offer clinical counseling services in our three Youth Service Bureaus clinics in San
Mateo County on a sliding fee scale and free to Medi-Cal and Victims of Crime (VOC) recipients. We work in over
50 schools providing on-site counseling and assessment; crisis intervention, on-campus violence prevention, and
adolescent life skills/support groups.We support parents through both counseling programs and
education/therapeutic support groups.We mentor youth in our Building Futures program, matching youth with adult
mentors in year-long nurturing relationships.We work as a therapeutic partner with the San Mateo Department of
Probation providing diversion counseling for 1st-time juvenile offenders, alternatives to incarceration and re-entry
programs for youth in the juvenile justice system.We are a clinical training center for Trainees and Interns working
toward licensure in their professional fields of Social Work and Marriage & Family Therapy. All of our Counselors
and Case Managers are professional-level staff who are Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Marriage and Family
Therapists, and those with Masters degrees in Social Work or Counseling Psychology. Our highly-respected
Trainee program allows 20-25 graduate students each year to gain hours toward licensure while working in our
programs. YSB staff members are experienced in working with mandated, school-referred and self-referred clients
with a broad array of presenting problems and diagnosis. Our expertise includes working with youth and families
dealing with depression, anxiety, drugs/alcohol abuse, truancy, school challenges, neglect, abuse, and high-risk
youth behaviors, and juvenile law enforcement. Our agency's philosophy is to work from a family systems
perspective.
13A. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Targeted Community Need: The rising demand for mental health and family support services for low-income,
Spanish-speaking parents. The YSBs are committed to eliminating barriers to mental health and prevention
services through culturally competent and bi-lingual staff. We are adjusting our Latino Parent's Group in response
to escalating demand from low-income clients and financial pressure to keep this service accessible and free of
charge. The demand for family counseling, youth counseling and parent support groups from low-income clients
has skyrocketed since 2008. We are committed to serving the families who come to us and not turning clients away

for inability to pay. We are able to this by providing free services to Medi-Cal, Healthy Kids, and Victims of Crime
recipients, charging sliding scale fees, by raising funds through contracts, foundations and individual donors.While
the total number of clients at the YSB of SSF has remained consistent over the past two years, (380 per annum in
the clinic and 280 in schools), the number of clients covered by Medi-Cal has doubled since the 2011; and those
using the General Family Clinic through deeply reduced fees grew from 31 to 116 in 2010, and continues at that
rate now. Historically, 95% of all of the parents in the Latino Parent's Group qualify for Med-Cal. However, Medi-Cal
does not cover this service.) Our largest increase in demand is from Latino, Spanish-speaking families qualified for
Medi-Cal. In 2008- 2009, the percentage of Latino families enrolled in our services rose to 58%, or 387 clients and
remains steady at that percentage.
Most of these families come to us in crises that require timely intervention and support. These crises include
children's behavior and school problems, suicide or self-harm, parental or child anxiety and depression, a
household abuse crisis, or even a juvenile misdemeanor arrest in the family. Joining a group includes undergoing
our standard and mental health assessment. This enables us to move families more quickly into assessment and
case management and make referrals for support services complimentary to ours. We also screen for incidences of
child abuse or domestic violence that require a crisis response. The YSB of SSF will use a wider range of staff
Counselors and Social Workers to facilitate the groups. (Dr. Gloria Castro will still be the key leader of this program
and will help train new facilitators though her present the site.) Moving the group from Spruce Elementary to our
clinic has also given us more flexibility for parents to bring pre-school aged siblings to regular weekly group
sessions. And since we are not bound by the school calendar, we can continue to run the groups over the summer
as well.We are responding in other ways to address client demand. We are approaching long-time foundation
supporters for core financial support to enhance more wide ranging support for Latino families, such as these
parent groups and issue-based therapy groups for Latino youth. Both the Mills Peninsula Foundation and the
Atkinson Foundation have responded to help. We continue to screen families for public insurance eligibility (Medi-
Cal and Healthy Kids) and help them apply for coverage. We are increasing our marketing efforts to clients who
can pay full fees to subsidize the costs of other programs. We have recruited an auxiliary fund-raising board of
professionals connected to local corporations who can focus on longer-term infrastructure and technical needs.
Low-income parents need support groups. Parenting, for anyone, is difficult and challenging. Early preventative
parenting practices increase the likelihood that children will develop into successful young adults who are
productive members of the South San Francisco community. But how can parents create good family
communication, maintain healthy relationships and support their children in school when job stress, poverty, poor
housing, language barriers, and sometimes substance abuse, work against it? The families we work with in our
groups are economically stressed and have the least access to resources to get this type of preventative support.
Our parent groups give these parents a head start in establishing healthy patterns and structure that increase the
likelihood that their children can navigate the challenges of adolescence. By pursuing the community resources
recommended by and supported by our staff and by sharing their strategies with each other, they are better able to
reduce isolation and get the resource they need. And, keeping these groups free and accessible to those who need
it most is our primary objective.
The group represents our best work in the early phases of prevention and intervention where the success of young
children is tied inexorably to the supportive role of parents. Parents, particularly mothers, influence their children's
behavior more than anyone else. They are tasked with providing positive inputs that contribute to their children's
emotional and physical health, their ability to communicate, engage in healthy relationships and ultimately navigate
their world as productive adults. Yet many parents find this role stressful, confusing and frightening. New immigrant
families in South San Francisco, primarily from Mexico and Central America, face unique challenges and need
support groups where they can safely talk about personal issues. These parents, especially women, are often the
most economically impoverished as they try to re-establish their work and community life in the United States.
Many do not speak English and are cut off from their own families and cultural support systems. Research
indicates that immigrant women who are isolated, economically disadvantaged, and/or experience cultural conflicts
within their families are at risk for developing a range of social and psychological problems, including depression,
psychosomatic disorders, and sometimes psychosis. The immigrant mothers' access to emotional refueling through
their contact with members of similar groups and with friends outside their ethnic group can be a critical source of
support for their development as bicultural mothers. This has proven to be true as immigrant, Spanish-speaking
parents, both newly arrived and American-born, have sought out and benefited most from our group. Latino
Parent's Group has evolved organically to serve them. The parents in the group has developed a bilingual
curriculum that addresses not only parenting issues but the attendant issues of cultural dislocation, separation from
mother and motherland, and new identity formation. The Clinicians serve a pivotal role in the group, reflecting the
best practices of working within the Latino community on mental health issues. They know the community

resources and provide practical support in accessing them, making referrals to government and community
agencies and helping parents communicate with teachers and school personnel. They are Latino, speak Spanish
and reflect the mother's identity. And, should an individual or family require counseling in our clinic, the clinicians
can facilitate that process easily.
Profile of the Mental Health Needs of Low-Income Latino Population. As we have written before, there is still a
great need for mental health services for Latino Spanish-speaking families that is culturally and linguistically
appropriate, but more and more Latinos are seeking services. Economics. Latinos make up the fastest growing
ethnic community in South San Francisco. Thirty-two percent (32%) of the city population is Hispanic/Latino. Three
of the City's public elementary schools are predominantly Latino: Spruce, Los Cerritos, and Martin. Together, 75%
of the students are Latino; 58% are English learners; and, 71% are designated economically disadvantaged by the
school district. Latinos make up the largest recipient group in CALWORKS by more than double. In a survey
commissioned by the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health in 2007, 55% of Latino families said that
household income was adequate to meet only basic needs and 28% said it was not. The need for mental health
and prevention services, particularly for Latino adolescents and their parents, is high. While American-born Latinos
exhibit similar profiles as non-Latino groups for mental health diagnoses and treatment, Latinos are over-
represented in social problem areas, such as substance abuse, adolescent risk behaviors, involvement in the
juvenile probation system, school behavior and learning problems, child abuse, and gang activity. A report from the
Urban Institute in October 2007 indicates that roughly 20% - 40% of Latino enrollees in San Mateo Healthy Kids
have emotional or behavioral needs such as mood and anxiety conditions, developmental diagnoses, learning
issues, schizophrenia, and substance abuse. Some studies have found higher rates of depression and distress
among Latinos than American Whites, while the U.S. Surgeon General reports relatively high rates of substance
abuse among Latino men compared to other groups, especially among US-born Mexican Americans. According to
the 2007 San Mateo Children's Report, Latino/Hispanic children make up 45% of substantiated child abuse/neglect
cases in 2005, but they comprise only 31% of the child population (7.2 per 1,000 Latino Hispanic children versus
3.1 for Caucasian and 2.5 per Asian/Pacifica Islander children). The most recent surveys on adolescent health and
wellness indicate that Latino youth fare worse than other ethnic groups nationally. The 2007 National Youth Risk
Behavior Survey (YRBS) from the Centers for Disease Control showed overall improvement in health-related
issues among 14,000 youth ages 9-12 in public and private schools, except for Latinos. 'Latino students were more
likely than either black or whites to attempt suicide (11%), ride with a driver who had been drinking alcohol, or use
cocaine heroin or ecstasy. Latinos also most often drank alcohol on school property, were offered or sold drugs,
and occasionally skipped school because they feared for their safety.' In San Mateo, juvenile felony arrests are two
times higher for Latino youth than Caucasian youth. While studies show nationally that Latinos are less likely to
seek mental health services, we feel that is changing. In fact, our efforts over the last two years of targeted
outreach, enhancing Spanish-speaking staff and staff-wide cultural competency training, have produced a service
population that now challenges our capacity. However, cultural-specifics issues are still significant and we continue
to address them in our overall agency and through Latino Parent's Group. There is a dearth of Latino and Spanish-
speaking mental health professionals in the field of community mental health. According to the Surgeon General's
mental health report in 1999, only 1% of the licensed Psychologists who were also members of the American
Psychological Association are Hispanic, and there are 29 Hispanic mental health professionals for every 100,000
Hispanics in the United States - compared to 173 non-Hispanic white providers per 100,000. Cultural differences
between Latinos and traditional counseling and therapy are still common. In rolling out the San Mateo Mental
Health Services Act, the Health Department conducted a thorough community assessment with the Latino
community about mental health services. The responses mirror what studies from the Surgeon General have found
over the last decade. Stigma and embarrassment remain significant barriers to seeking services. However,
participants also said they lacked information and an understanding of mental illness, signs and symptoms and
where to go for help. Many participants asked for educational materials and called for a public health campaign.
Significantly, many did not view mental illness as a medical problem and said they often relied on home remedies
or prayer and are more likely to report emotional and stress problems to their doctors, teachers and other school
staff than to a mental health professional. Participants in the community assessment made recommendations
about how to deliver services most of which are reflected in Latino Parent's Group.Parents who join our Latino
Parent's Group will not to have to relinquish their spot on the waiting list for our Family or Individual Counseling
program. Nor we will limit access to those on the list, but continue our traditional outreach in the schools we have
targeted - Spruce, Los Cerritos & Martin Elementary Schools. And we will expand outreach in Alta Loma, Parkway
& Westborough Middle Schools.
The Youth Service Bureaus have also been working for 41 years to keep youth out of the Juvenile Justice system.
One of our largest efforts is our Juvenile Justice Diversion program that provides family therapy to first-time youth
offenders and their families in lieu of being booked through the system. Over 90% of the clients in diversion do not

re-offend. But we work to reduce this case load by building prevention programs. Our SSF Latino Parent's Group is
a key part of this effort, not only by including parents of offenders in the group, but by working to build family
resilience that reduces juvenile involvement in crime.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
July – August 2014. The existing Friday morning group will continue over the summer months. During the month of
May, we will have conducted vigorous outreach at Spruce, Martin and Los Cerritos elementary schools for new
participants in both the Friday morning, and at Alta Loma, Parkway and Westborough middle schools for the new
Wednesday evening group. Christina Cabrera, ASW and clinician for the new evening group, will personally call all
parents on the counseling waiting list to explain the purpose of the group and invite them to participate. We will
initiate a new cycle of both groups in September, January and April. At the conclusion of each group, we will have
participants fill out outcomes and satisfaction surveys and conduct one focus group to get feedback on what was
successful and what can be improved in the group activities. Outreach in collaboration with community partners will
continue throughout the year. We will repeat the process in July 2015-June 2016.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
We will track parent numbers enrolled in each group; frequency and consistency of parent participation, and
demographics. We will administer a survey at the end of 15-week session or at the last session of a participant
based on the outcomes articulated above. Parents will participate in an informal discussion to evaluate the program
two times a year during sessions in December and in May and fill out an anonymous satisfaction survey. Staff will
review this information to make appropriate changes for next year. The Latino Parent's Group shared how parents
became more aware and sensitive, deepening their understanding of and strengthening their emotional bond to
their children - thus enabling parents to respond rather than react to them. The ability to empathize was also
developed. In past years, both the qualitative evaluation revealed that the group helped parents have appropriate
parenting expectations, become mutually supportive, and provide feedback and advice to each other. Parents
developed skills to provide safety, protection, and comfort for their children as well as improve communication with
them. Among the most-cited benefits was being able to celebrate holidays in culturally appropriate ways and also
mourning the losses of family members and loved one, in some cases due to violence.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Collaboration is an integral part of the program's success. We accept referrals from Human Service Agency and
have an agreement with them that allows parents to come to the group on a voluntary basis rather than being
mandated. We recruit heavily in the South San Francisco schools by making our program known to counseling
staff, administration, teachers who work with English Learners and PTAs. We also have our won staff embedded in
those schools providing counseling and they communicate with parents regularly and encourage them to join the
group. We also work with public health nurses, the South San Francisco Police Department, the Medi-Cal /Healthy
Families program, legal services and community colleges. These agencies all work with the target population and
can assist families in participating in the program. We also serve parents from the child care center and preschool
run by the Peninsula YMCA on Gateway. We will also coordinate outreach and advertising with the following
agencies: the Boys & Girls Club, North Peninsula Family Neighborhood Services Center, Samaritan House, The
Latino Commission and the Community Learning Center. We will meet personally with staff at each agency to
educate them about the program and to design a strategy for them to make direct referrals through their case
management systems and to have flyers on hand for distribution at all times.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
In an effort to increase the number of parents benefiting from the group, we have made the following changes:
Created a second afternoon group targeted at parents of adolescent formed through outreach in middle and high
schools we work in and by offering the group to families on our counseling waiting list.
Increasing and coordinating outreach efforts with other community organization more strategically through planning

21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
We leverage resources for this program through two grants from local foundations, the Atkinson Foundation and
Wells Fargo Foundation. We are also able to leverage funds through fees that higher income clients who are not
MediCal eligible but pay for services on a sliding scale. We do not anticipate any changes to those secure funding
sources in the next two years.

Accessible, Affordable housing is a major concern for people with disabilities in San Mateo County. A recent
government report showed that San Mateo County ranks among the top 10 counties in the nation for highest
housing cost. The major emphasis in CID’s housing efforts is our Housing Accessibility Program (HAM). The
program puts in ramps, rails, grab bars, vertical lifts, and other modifications to make home accessibility. These
modifications assist people with disabilities to remain at home or move back into their home with greater
independence, and are not forced into skilled nursing or other institutional care. CID cooperates with cities and the
County housing agencies in San Mateo County to increase the number of accessible and affordable housing.

14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
Our Home Accessibility Modification (HAM) Program is monitored to make sure that projective time lines and
milestones are met throughout the fiscal year. In the beginning of each fiscal year we evaluate the amount of
funding that is allotted for each individual city and/or county to determine what goals were purposed in each grant.
We then determine monthly and quarterly milestones to be met in order to hit each specific target set forth. After
each monthly review we evaluate which cities/counties may be lacking in consumer request and schedule
outreaches in the target areas to enhance awareness to our program and organization. Structurally we intend to
achieve our projected goals in the time line allotted by having a list task in logical order to demonstrate feasible
work plans. We identify and evaluate all resources needed to preform proposed activities. All our HAM project
goals are set, achievable, measurable, time limited, and clearly stated on our work plans for each project.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
CID provides quality satisfaction surveys for all Home Accessibility Clients served in order to monitor the services
provided by the clients. We gauge our program success by our customer’s satisfactions, as well as reaching
milestones set in the grants stipulations; those include, the number of households and people served, modifications
provided, and diversification of consumers. Internally, one of our greatest accomplishments to date is cutting our
waiting list down by 50% from prior years. On a consumer stand point we are happy to report that we are getting
great feedback from our consumers and changing individuals lives by giving the more independence. We provide
that independence in simple ways by installing grab bars in their bathrooms so that they can shower without care
attendants, and or install ramps in their homes so that the can move in and out freely without assistance. This
essentially prevents them from having to be institutionalized and allows them to live more independent.

16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
We are currently collaborating with Mz.Shrilez – a non-profit agency that under their contractor license trains
individuals in the field in order to give individuals live skills and vocational training. Since they can provide the
services at cost, we are able to provide services for the Home Accessibility Modification (HAM) program at an
affordable rate, to serve more clients cost effectively.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
Trends show that the elderly and disabled population in San Mateo County could increase by 30-40% by 2020
(Lisa et al). As an independent living center for individuals of all ages and disabilities we are seeing an increase in
needs for our Home Accessibility program as well as our Assistive Technology Department (e.g stair lifts). Without
these funds there could be an increase of individuals ho will no longer be able to live independently in their homes,
and consequently stripped of their independence. It could also potentially put a financial strain on the individual
family, county, and sate due to high costs of institutionalization. As a Center, our HAM program is the most vital to
the San Mateo County Community and without these funds we would inevitably have to lay off staff and lose one of
our most valued and long standing programs in the community. ( Lisa, Alexcih, and el at, eds. Services Needs

Our program helps the lives in our community by modifying homes or using assistive technology (e.g. stair lifts).
These are just two of several related efforts that may assist us to maintain peoples independence, safety, while
fostering community integration. With our program, going to the grocery story, getting to work or to a doctor
becomes possible. One of the biggest impacts we have through this programs is helping individuals remain in their
homes as well as return home from institutional settings, by providing structural improvements that give power an
independence back to our consumers. Please see below examples from our consumers and the impact of the
HAM program has had on their lives:
Thank you for installing this grab bar in my shower. It has made bathing so much easier for me. When I requested
this item, the response was so prompt and the Occupational Therapist came out within a week.
I’ve been coming to CID for years and am so thankful for the work that the do. Thank you for working with me to
get a new scooter and helping with me with the grab rails in my bathroom. Thank you.
Dear CID – thank you so much for installing this ramp outside of my home – it has made my life so much easier
and allowing my mother to feel more free and not rely on us in and out of the home. We have seen a change in
her attitude and we are so grateful.

Grant Funded Programs:
We are applying for a Minor Home Repair Program
CDBG National Objective Eligibility - How are you serving low income populations?
Minor home repairs for low income households whose incomes are verified.
Income Verification: Describe how you obtain, verify, and maintain proof of income and presumed benefit status.
Third party documentation or client signatures on the certification forms must be available on file for review at all
times.
Income verification is a standard requirement for all ESCMC programs. The income thresholds for the PMHR
program are consistent with San Mateo County and entitlement cities standards. We require documented proof of
income for all programs, such as the Energy Savings Assistance program, which has strict qualification and income
verification requirements. For the PMHR program, we require the two most current proofs of income (pay check
stubs or proof of amount given to applicant by Social Security, Disability or unemployment). A proof of ownership
waiver needs to be signed by owner. Ownership of the home is verified by checking with the County Assessor's
office. If the name on this waiver is different than the name that the house is under, the application will not be
approved. Renters can apply but must have the property owner waiver signed by the owner of the house or
apartment. All documents collected go into customer files and are available for review at all times. Along with
maintaining appropriate documentation for new customers, the PMHR program will leverage existing documents on
file and in ESCMC's database to ensure appropriate income verification is documented and maintained for all
PMHR customers.

El Concilio of San Mateo County (ECSMC) is a 501C.3 nonprofit organization that uses a family centered,
community based, and culturally focused model to increase education, employment, and access to quality of life
services for underserved communities in San Mateo County. In support of this mission, ECSMC’s Peninsula Minor
Home Repair (PMHR) program provides home repair services to Extremely Low Income (ELI), Very Low Income
(VLI) and Low Income (LI) residents of San Mateo County and its entitlement cities, including those living on a fixed
income. The PMHR program meets the national CDBG objective of benefiting low income residents through limited
clientele activities. The PMHR program meets San Mateo County’s funding priority of housing repair and
modification programs operated by nonprofit agencies that provide cost-effective improvements focusing on health
and safety, housing quality standards, and/or access modifications. In conjunction with ECSMC’s Energy Savings
Assistance (ESA), Moderate Income Direct Install (MIDI), and Telecommunication programs, the PMHR program’s
key priority is helping provide minor home repairs to increase energy and water efficiency, conservation, and
savings for San Mateo County, City of San Mateo, Redwood City, and South San Francisco ELI/VLI/LI residents.
The PMHR program’s objectives for the jurisdictions of San Mateo County, City of San Mateo, City of Redwood
City, and the City of South San Francisco are to:
1) improve home safety through minor home repairs,
2) make more homes eligible for energy and weatherization improvements that would otherwise not be completed,
and
3) increase energy and water conservation among ELI/VLI/LI residents.
The PMHR target audience is San Mateo County, City of San Mateo, City of Redwood City, and the City of South
San Francisco ELI/VLI/LI households who:
1) need but are unaware of programs available to improve their homes through minor home repairs,
2) may be eligible for low-cost installation of energy and water conservation solutions, and
3) would benefit significantly from a 20% discount on utility bills and reducing their monthly energy and household
water expenses.
In conjunction with ECSMC’s Energy Savings Assistance (ESA), Moderate Income Direct Install (MIDI), and
Telecommunication programs, the PMHR program helps to address the needs of the community by assisting the
County in providing:
1) decent and affordable housing,
2) a suitable living environment,
3) increased energy conservation, and
4) economic opportunities for ELI/VLI/LI individuals.

Under the PMHR program, the services ECSMC Specialists provide to ELI/VLI/LI households include (but are not
limited to):
- Electrical work
- Attic insulation
- Water heater wrapping
- Carbon monoxide/fire alarm inspections and installation
- Repair/replace heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC)
- Natural gas appliance testing
- Refrigerator replacement
- Water leak testing
- Energy audits and concurrent energy education
- Quality control inspections
- Repair and replace doors, windows, and fences
- Weatherization
- Accessibility for disabled and elderly
The unique feature and benefit of the PMHR program is the holistic approach and considerable experience
ECSMC has in working with ELI/VLI/LI residents eligible for minor home repair through the ECSMC ESA, MIDI, and
Telecommunications programs. ECSMC’s team of ESA and MIDI Specialists has direct contact with ELI/VLI/LI
residents (including in their native language) as they verify income eligibility, assess the conditions of income
eligible housing units, and perform energy audits. Often, a resident may be eligible for the ESA program, but is
unable to participate fully because of an unmet minor home repair requirement. Minor home repairs such as broken
or moldy windows or faulty electrical work make these living environments unsuitable, especially for children or the
elderly. These ELI/VLI/LI households are unable to make these minor home repairs due to health conditions and/or
financial reasons, and do not have the means to perform this work without assistance, resulting in a lost opportunity
to receive energy and water conservation services. The PMHR program is a viable solution to this growing trend,
and is a way to offer holistic solutions that maximize access to available benefits for ELI/VLI/LI residents of San
Mateo County, City of San Mateo, City of Redwood City, and the City of South San Francisco.
As another example of the benefit to ECSMC’s holistic approach, an elderly resident may contact the PMHR
program to install a safety rail in their home. While completing the home repair as part of the PMHR service, since
the PMHR Specialist is already in their home, they will take the extra step of gas appliance testing and smoke
detector checks. There are times PMHR Specialists find high carbon monoxide readings and can help resolve the
issue via the ESA program. Instances like this where ECSMC programs overlap occur frequently, and through the
unique capability of ECSMC’s PMHR and Energy Specialists, ELI/VLI/LI households are able to become safer
while also realizing energy conservation and water savings because of the number of programs under ECSMC’s
umbrella that help ELI/VLI/LI residents. The energy and water saving measures installed through the PMHR
program yield savings in monthly utility bills, which in turn help to provide economic opportunities by providing
discretionary funds for families who are economically disadvantaged.
ECSMC is also a PG&E contractor for the Moderate Income Direct Install (MIDI) program, which only provides
lighting and water measures for working households. Many of these families meet County and entitlement cities
CDBG income requirements, but are not eligible for the PG&E ESA program. MIDI funds can only be used for
water and lighting measures, so the PMHR program helps to provide energy saving measures that these
households could not otherwise receive. By leveraging its different programs, ECSMC can provide expanded
services to ELI/VLI/LI San Mateo County households. For example, one VLI family in need could get their broken
windows and a fence replaced through the PMHR program. Since the family did not qualify for the ESA program,
they could also receive attic insulation through the PMHR program. That same family could also receive updated
faucets, showerheads, and energy efficient exterior lighting through the MIDI program. This VLI family could
contact ECSMC and receive all of these services through our organization’s different programs, helping to provide
decent housing and suitable living environments, while also setting these households up for increased energy and
water conservation and savings. We are not aware of any other CBO that has a holistic focus and approach to
minor home repair in the County.
ECSMC’s family centered, community based, and culturally focused model allows for the opportunity to leverage
well-established marketing and outreach efforts. ECSMC partners with governmental entities such as the San
Mateo County Energy Watch, performing outreach for the residential portion of the program and performing energy
audits and handles quality-control inspections. With outreach programs, such as the Diabetes Program, Promotor
Education and Employment Project, and Multi-Cultural Community Health Educator Program, ECSMC is a trusted
advocate for members of the community, making it in a turn a trusted service provider for community households
that would benefit from the PMHR program. The PMHR program allows ECSMC to expand its services to
households already in contact with ECSMC regarding the ESA, Moderate Income Direct Install (MIDI),
Telecommunication, and health and employment programs. Through word of mouth, these ELI/VLI/LI households
contact ECSMC because of the positive reputation the organization holds in the community. PMHR staff is
multilingual beyond English (Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Tongan, and Russian) and many come from households
with a limited income as well, which helps build a rapport with households that are often hesitant to contact non

community-based providers due to cultural and linguistic barriers, in addition to privacy concerns. PMHR provides
an opportunity to educate a captive audience on the importance of energy and water conservation, and the
opportunities available to ensure safe housing, energy conservation, and home weatherization using a culturally
appropriate outreach and service model. ECSMC’s holistic focus and approach to minor home repair is a unique,
resourceful, and effective solution for San Mateo County, City of San Mateo, Redwood City, and South San
Francisco ELI/VLI/LI households.
13A. Assessment of Need - Redwood City: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for
each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
ECSMC determined the need for the PMHR program based on our extensive experience as a contractor for
PG&E’s Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) program. The unique feature and benefit of the PMHR program is the
holistic approach and considerable experience ECSMC has in working with ELI/VLI/LI residents eligible for minor
home repair through the ESA program and more recently the Moderate Income Direct Install (MIDI) program.
ECSMC’s team of ESA and MIDI Specialists has direct contact with ELI/VLI/LI residents (including in their native
language) as they verify income eligibility and assess the conditions of income eligible housing units. Often, a
resident may be eligible for the ESA program, but is unable to participate fully because of an unmet minor home
repair requirement. Minor home repairs such as broken or moldy windows make these living environments
unsuitable and unsafe, especially for children or the elderly. These ELI/VLI/LI households are unable to make these
minor home repairs due to health conditions and/or financial reasons, and do not have the means to perform this
work without assistance. The PMHR program is a viable solution to this growing trend, and is a way to offer holistic
solutions that maximize access to available benefits for ELI/VLI/LI residents of Redwood City.
In addition to the housing units ECSMC already contacts through the ESA and MIDI programs, the PMHR program
also targets ELI/VLI/LI and fixed income Redwood City residents who:
1) need but are unaware of programs available to improve their homes through minor home repairs,
2) may be eligible for low-cost installation of energy conservation solutions, and
3) would benefit significantly from a 20% discount on utility bills and reducing their monthly energy expense.
Under the PMHR program, the services ECSMC Specialists provide to ELI/VLI/LI households include (but are not
limited to):
- Electrical work
- Attic insulation
- Water heater wrapping
- Carbon monoxide/fire alarm inspections and installation
- Repair/replace heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC)
- Natural gas appliance testing
- Refrigerator replacement
- Water leak testing
- Energy audits and concurrent energy education
- Quality control inspections
- Repair and replace doors, windows, and fences
- Weatherization
- Accessibility for disabled and elderly
The PMHR program’s minor home repair services are in line with many of Redwood City’s Housing and Human
Concerns Committee’s Consolidated Plan Funding Priorities. According to the Consolidated Plan, the PMHR
program meets the city’s Affordable Housing priority needs of preserving existing affordable rental housing and
improving the condition of existing housing (renter and owner). With 10.6% of Redwood City being persons over
the age of 65 (US Census 2012 estimate), the PMHR program also helps the special needs group of the elderly
and frail elderly, helping to meet the Special Needs Housing priority objective of improving housing accessibility
and safety (existing housing). In 2013, 57% of PMHR’s clients were elderly.
There are other agencies offering similar minor home repair services within Redwood City, including Rebuilding
Together Peninsula who works in conjunction with the City. However, this and other programs are limited to
specific jurisdictions and do not have the necessary resources to meet all of the needs within Redwood City. Based
on 2012 US Census estimates, in Redwood City there were 79,009 people, 27,953 households, with 9.1% persons
below poverty level. In line with Redwood City’s Safe at Home Minor Home Repair Program, ECSMC’s PMHR
program gives ELI/VLI/LI residents of Redwood City an opportunity to address minor repair needs before they
become serious safety or deferred maintenance issues. The PMHR program offers minor home repairs in addition
to several housing accessibility modifications, such as safety hand rails. ECSMC’s PMHR program provides
another much needed service provider for improving home safety through minor home repairs within Redwood
City, thus enabling more residents to realize Redwood City’s affordable housing and special needs funding
priorities in addition to making more homes eligible for energy and weatherization improvements that would
otherwise not be completed. The energy and water conservation measures installed through the PMHR program

yield savings in monthly utility bills, which in turn help to provide economic opportunities by providing discretionary
funds for families who are economically disadvantaged.
A unique feature of the ECSMC program is the multicultural staff. The ECSMC staff is multilingual beyond English
(Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Tongan and Russian) and many come from households with limited income levels as
well, which helps build a rapport with households that are often hesitant to contact non community-based providers
due to cultural and linguistic barriers, in addition to privacy concerns. In Redwood City, the percentage of
households where a language other than English is spoken is 44.9%, making PMHR’s multilingual staff a great
asset in reaching a broad customer base. ECSMC attributes its success to working with all ethnic groups within the
community to our organization’s use of a family centered, community based, and culturally focused model.
13B. Assessment of Need - City of San Mateo: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program
for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
ECSMC determined the need for the PMHR program based on our extensive experience as a contractor for
PG&E’s Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) program. The unique feature and benefit of the PMHR program is the
holistic approach and considerable experience ECSMC has in working with ELI/VLI/LI residents eligible for minor
home repair through the ESA program and more recently the Moderate Income Direct Install (MIDI) program.
ECSMC’s team of ESA and MIDI Specialists has direct contact with ELI/VLI/LI residents (including in their native
language) as they verify income eligibility and assess the conditions of income eligible housing units. Often, a
resident may be eligible for the ESA program, but is unable to participate fully because of an unmet minor home
repair requirement. Minor home repairs such as broken or moldy windows make these living environments
unsuitable and unsafe, especially for children or the elderly. These ELI/VLI/LI households are unable to make these
minor home repairs due to health conditions and/or financial reasons, and do not have the means to perform this
work without assistance. The PMHR program is a viable solution to this growing trend, and is a way to offer holistic
solutions that maximize access to available benefits for ELI/VLI/LI residents of the City of San Mateo.
In addition to the housing units ECSMC already contacts through the ESA and MIDI programs, the PMHR program
also targets ELI/VLI/LI and fixed income City of San Mateo residents who:
1) need but are unaware of programs available to improve their homes through minor home repairs,
2) may be eligible for low-cost installation of energy conservation solutions, and
3) would benefit significantly from a 20% discount on utility bills and reducing their monthly energy expense.
Under the PMHR program, the services ECSMC Specialists provide to ELI/VLI/LI households include (but are not
limited to):
- Electrical work
- Attic insulation
- Water heater wrapping
- Carbon monoxide/fire alarm inspections and installation
- Repair/replace heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC)
- Natural gas appliance testing
- Refrigerator replacement
- Water leak testing
- Energy audits and concurrent energy education
- Quality control inspections
- Repair and replace doors, windows, and fences
- Weatherization
- Accessibility for disabled and elderly
The PMHR program’s minor home repair services are in line with the City of San Mateo Community Funding
priority of Affordable Housing Services. The PMHR program meets Affordable Housing priority needs of preserving
existing affordable rental housing and improving the condition of existing housing. With 14.4% of City of San Mateo
being persons over the age of 65 (US Census 2012 estimate), the PMHR program also helps the special needs
group of the elderly, helping to meet the City of San Mateo Community Funding priority of Senior Services. In 2013,
57% of PMHR’s clients were elderly.
There are other agencies offering similar minor home repair services within the City of San Mateo, including
Rebuilding Together Peninsula who works in conjunction with the City. However, this and other programs are
limited to specific jurisdictions and do not have the necessary resources to meet all of the needs within San Mateo.
Based on 2012 US Census estimates, in San Mateo there were 99,670 people, 37,217 households, with 6.5%
persons below poverty level. In line with San Mateo’s Minor Home Repair Program, ECSMC’s PMHR program
gives ELI/VLI/LI residents of San Mateo an opportunity to address minor repair needs before they become serious
safety or deferred maintenance issues. The PMHR program offers minor home repairs in addition to several
housing accessibility modifications, such as safety hand rails. ECSMC’s PMHR program provides another much
needed service provider for improving home safety through minor home repairs within the City of San Mateo, thus

enabling more residents to realize the City’s affordable housing services and senior services funding priorities in
addition to making more homes eligible for energy and weatherization improvements that would otherwise not be
completed. The energy and water conservation measures installed through the PMHR program yield savings in
monthly utility bills, which in turn help to provide economic opportunities by providing discretionary funds for
families who are economically disadvantaged.
Since starting the PMHR program, ECSMC has collaborated with Rebuilding Together Peninsula (who works in
conjunction with the City of San Mateo) on several occasions in order to select and choose which types of repair
work each organization could provide to maximize ELI/VLI/LI household benefits. As the program continues,
ECSMC hopes to further partner with other community-based agencies and governmental agencies to help meet
the City’s goals. ECSMC also partners with governmental entities such as the San Mateo County Energy Watch,
performing outreach for the residential portion of the program and performing energy audits and handles quality-
control inspections.
A unique feature of the ECSMC program is the multicultural staff. The ECSMC staff is multilingual beyond English
(Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Tongan and Russian) and many come from households with limited income levels as
well, which helps build a rapport with households that are often hesitant to contact non community-based providers
due to cultural and linguistic barriers, in addition to privacy concerns. In the City of San Mateo, the percentage of
households where a language other than English is spoken is 43%, making ECSMC’s multilingual staff a great
asset in reaching a broad customer base. ECSMC attributes its success to working with all ethnic groups within the
community to our organization’s use of a family centered, community based, and culturally focused model.

Mateo County’s priority of housing development/housing repair and modification programs, and falls within the
Funding Category of Minor Home Repair Programs (Nonprofit administered). With 14% of County of San Mateo
being persons over the age of 65 (US Census 2012 estimate), the PMHR program also helps the County’s non-
homeless special needs group of the elderly or frail elderly. In 2013, 57% of PMHR’s clients were elderly.
There are other agencies offering similar minor home repair services within the County of San Mateo, including
Rebuilding Together Peninsula who works in conjunction with the City of San Mateo and other cities within the
County. However, this and other programs are limited to specific jurisdictions and do not have the necessary
resources to meet all of the needs within San Mateo County. A key provider, North Peninsula Neighborhood
Services Center, ended their home repair program this past year making the need for service providers even
greater. Based on 2012 US Census estimates, in San Mateo County there were 739,311 people, 257,369
households, with 7.4% persons below poverty level. San Mateo County’s Consolidated Plan 2013-14 – 2017-18
using Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (SHAS) data
identifies 1,048 lower income homeowners or tenants with substandard housing, which means they need of
improvements that focus on health and safety, housing quality standards and/or access modifications (pg 24).
ELI/VLI/LI households with a housing cost burden 30% totaled 36,797 (20,037 renter plus 16,760 owner).
ELI/VLI/LI households with a housing cost burden 50% totaled 22,939 (11,260 plus 11,679 owner). ECSMC’s
PMHR program gives San Mateo County‘s many ELI/VLI/LI residents an opportunity to address minor repair needs
before they become serious safety or deferred maintenance issues. The PMHR program offers minor home repairs
in addition to several housing accessibility modifications, such as safety hand rails. ECSMC’s PMHR program

Chinese, Tagalog, Tongan and Russian) and many come from households with limited income levels as well,
which helps build a rapport with households that are often hesitant to contact non community-based providers due
to cultural and linguistic barriers, in addition to privacy concerns. In the County of San Mateo, the percentage of

If the requested funding is received, the total number of units the PMHR program will target for FY2014-2015 is:
• San Mateo County: 65 households/families, benefiting 180 individuals within San Mateo County.
• City of San Mateo: 35 households/families, benefiting 90 individuals within San Mateo.
• Redwood City: 35 households/families, benefiting 95 individuals within Redwood City.
• South San Francisco: 35 households/families, benefiting 100 individuals within South San Francisco.
Progress towards meeting these goals will be assessed on a quarterly basis.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
PMHR program goals for FY14-15 are:
1) provide cost-effective home repair and improvements focusing on energy education, home safety, and energy
conservation through weatherization
2) increase awareness and participation of ELI/VLI/LI in low cost home improvement
3) provide further “Green Job” opportunities through job training, internships and placement of County residents in
PMHR related training and employment; hire at least 2 more adults and summer youth jobs from the community.
The success of PMHR will be measured by:
1) # of homes receiving repairs that will improve home safety and comfort
2) # of ELI/VLI/LI dwellings that did not qualify for ESA that became eligible as a result of minor home repairs being
completed through PMHR
3) # of trainees who learn skills that make them job ready or certification read
4) Ability to complete repairs within budget and timeline
In FY11-12 the PMHR program exceeded its goal, completing minor home repair services for 61 households,
making a positive difference in the lives of 148 County residents. Of the 61 households, 57% were single mother
households, 41% were elderly, and 16% were disabled households. In FY12-13 the PMHR program was able to
complete minor home repair services to 30 households, and had started work with two clients that could not be
completed by 6/30/2013 due to special order materials and customer schedules. Of the 30 households, 60% were
single mother households, 40% were elderly, and 17% were disabled households. The program did not meet its
projected 60 household units in FY12-13 due to a variety of factors. There were challenges with changes made in
on-line reporting, which delayed some services for residents and report submittals. Much communication with the
housing staff and City Data Services was the solution. There were also complications with a delay to our contract
starting after 11/4/13 resulting in many of the persons who signed up for PMHR in the first quarter declining service
when funding was finally available. Additional households were not served by the PMHR program because of
unforeseen materials/supplies, labor and contractor services. Excessive costs of $10,000 for two clients needing
County approved work.
So far during Quarters 1-2 of FY13-14, we have provided PMHR services to 14 households. There has been an
issue with some renters being declined by the County, resulting in 10 households not being able to have minor
home repairs to their homes. However, we are communicating with the County of San Mateo to clarify and resolve
these issues.
If the requested funding is received, the total number of units the PMHR program will target for FY2014-2015 is:
• San Mateo County: 65 households, benefiting 180 individuals.
• City of San Mateo: 35 households, benefiting 90 individuals.
• Redwood City: 35 households, benefiting 95 individuals.
• South San Francisco: 35 households, benefiting 100 individuals

16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
ECSMC’s mission is to increase education, employment, and access to quality of life services for underserved
communities in San Mateo County. In support of this mission, ECSMC has partnered with a number of community
based organizations (CBO’s) and government entities over the years, such as the Chicana Latina Foundation, San
Mateo County Behavioral Health and Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs program, One East Palo Alto, Free At
Last, Nuestra Casa, Ecumenical Hunger Project, For Youth By Youth, San Mateo County Health Services Agency,
JobTrain, Ravenswood Family Health Center, Voices of Recovery for collaborative services, Second Harvest for
food distribution along with other collaborations that serve the area to increase the visibility and access of needed
prevention and intervention services and resources. Through our work with these CBO’s, ECSMC leverages its
outreach efforts to maintain visibility of the PMHR program, along with its many other programs for ELI/VLI/LI
residents of San Mateo County, including the cities of San Mateo, South San Francisco, and Redwood City. For
example, ECSMC’s partnership with the San Mateo Medical Center and Clinics and Human Services Department
in providing access to healthcare education, health screenings and medical treatment to ELI/VLI/LI and fixed
income seniors, youth and families has helped in outreach efforts. ECSMC also partners with governmental entities
such as San Mateo County Energy Watch, performing outreach for the residential portion of the program and
performing energy audits and handles quality-control inspections. In conjunction with ECSMC’s numerous outreach
programs, its partnerships over the years have resulted in ECSMC being a trusted advocate for members of the
community, a trusted name as a service provider, and a large customer base for the PMHR program.
PG&E has contracted ECSMC for the past 10 years, providing us with extensive experience in reaching ELI/VLI/LI
and fixed income residents in the County and its entitlement cities, conducting energy usage assessments and
arranging to install energy conservation and weatherization solutions as part of the Energy Savings Assistance
Program. This 10 year partnership has helped ECSMC establish a positive reputation as an installation and repair
service provider to ELI/VLI/LI households and has helped build a large customer base within the community. Due
to ECSMC’s success running the ESA program, PG&E has contracted ECSMC for the past three years to manage
the Moderate Income Direct Install (MIDI) program, which provides lighting and water measures for working
households.
Since starting the PMHR program, ECSMC has collaborated with Rebuilding Together Peninsula on several
occasions in order to select and choose which types of repair work each organization could provide to maximize
ELI/VLI/LI household benefits. As the program continues, ECSMC hopes to further partner with other community-
based agencies and governmental agenci
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
Over the past three years, grant funding has helped underwrite the cost of PMHR program materials and labor, as
well as a portion of the administrative costs related to program administration and management. These funds will
allow ECSMC to continue providing minor home repairs to County residents whose homes do not initially meet the
eligibility requirements for energy conservation installments because of required minor home repairs. Minor home
repairs such as broken or moldy windows and faulty electrical work make these living environments unsuitable,
especially for children or the elderly. These ELI/VLI/LI households are unable to make these minor home repairs
due to health conditions and/or financial reasons, and do not have the means to perform this work without
assistance, resulting in a lost opportunity to receive energy conservation services. These funds will help ECSMC
provide minor home repairs to ELI/VLI/LI households of County of San Mateo, City of San Mateo, South San
Francisco, and Redwood City. These funds will also help ECSMC to continue helping homes to become qualified
for energy and water efficiencies, conservation, and savings for ELI/VLI/LI residents. Without these funds, ECSMC
would not be able to justify leveraging other limited funding and program resources to supplement the PMHR
program. Without these funds, ECSMC will be forced to discontinue the PMHR program, resulting in a lost
opportunity for ELI/VLI/LI and fixed income San Mateo County, City of San Mateo, South San Francisco, and
Redwood City residents who do not have the means to perform these minor home repairs without assistance,
along with lost opportunities to receive energy and water conservation services.

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative
outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
A unique feature of the ECSMC program is the multicultural staff. The ECSMC staff is multilingual beyond English
(Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Tongan and Russian) and many come from households with limited income levels as
well, which helps build a rapport with households that are often hesitant to contact non community-based providers
due to cultural and linguistic barriers, in addition to privacy concerns. In South San Francisco, the percentage of
households where a language other than English is spoken is 60.6%, in the County of San Mateo, 45.6%, in
Redwood City, 44.9%, and in the City of San Mateo, 43%, making PMHR’s multilingual staff a great asset in
reaching a broad customer base. ECSMC attributes its success to working with all ethnic groups within the
community to our organization’s use of a family centered, community based, and culturally focused model.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
1) $4.3 million dollar contract (already committed) with PG&E/Richard Heath & Associates for 2014 to provide
energy education, enrollment in 20% discount on energy bills and conservation solutions for 3,000 residents of San
Mateo County,
2) $250,000 contract (already committed) with PG&E/Richard Heath & Associates for 2014 to provide lighting and
water measures for working households of San Mateo County.
3) $60,000 contract (already committed) with Self-Help for the Elderly/CPUC to provide Outreach, Consumer
Education Workshops and Dispute Resolution with utility bills that we will leverage to meet the PMHR FY14-15
goals of:
1) provide cost-effective home repair and improvements focusing on energy education, home safety, and energy
conservation through weatherization
2) increase awareness and participation of ELI/VLI/LI in low cost home improvement, and
3) provide further “Green Job” opportunities through job training, internships and placement of County residents in
PMHR related training and employment. We plan to hire at least 2 more adults and summer youth jobs from the
community.

1. Increase the supply of Affordable Rental housing; preserve existing affordable rental housing, and improve the
condition of existing housing (renter and owner). This goal includes the provision of special needs housing:
AH-3: Improve the condition of existing housing (renter and owner)
2. Marketing/Advertising
a. Check all of the following methods your agency utilizes to promote and advertise your programs and services:
Flyers/brochures
Website
CIP (Handbook/Database)
Outreach presentations to service providers
Outreach presentations to public
PSA’s
b. Which of the above marketing/advertising materials are available in multi-langual form and which languages are

ECSMC currently has flyers available in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Tagalog. This year we plan on developing
PMHR flyers in a multilingual format.
c. How and where are the materials distributed?
ECSMC staff informs local agencies of our services including the PMHR program through site visits, meetings,
presentations and correspondence, as well as distributing the project brochure at outreach events. We conduct
monthly outreach efforts to help ensure community residents in need of assistance are aware of and know how to
access program services.
ECSMC is a collaborative partner and lead on issues impacting the quality of life in the communities we serve,
partnering with the SM County Behavioral Health and Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs program, One East Palo
Alto, Free At Last, Nuestra Casa, Ecumenical Hunger Project, For Youth By Youth, SM County Health Services
Agency, JobTrain, Ravenswood Family Health Center, Voices of Recovery, and Second Harvest, to increase
visibility and access to needed prevention and intervention resources. Through our work with CBO’s, we promote
awareness and maintain an extensive inter-agency referral system helping to promote the PMHR progr
3. Program Outcomes: In what ways has your program made a difference in the lives of the people you serve?
Please provide at least one concrete example from the people served in FY/13:
The PMHR program has made a significant difference in the lives of the people we have served. In FY13 Q2, a
disabled senior had a rotted stairway that was not safe to walk on. With pending surgery, she was unsure how she
was going to get down the steps in her even more fragile condition, or how how her caretakers would safely walk
on the steps. PMHR repaired this stairway in time for her return from surgery, enabling a safe walkway for her and
her caretakers throughout her recovery.
In January 2013, PMHR assisted an elderly couple in Colma living on a fixed income with significant healthcare
expenses. They went over a year without heat because they could not afford to replace their broken furnace. The

cold exacerbated the wife’s congestive heart problems. PMHR funded a new furnace, replaced broken windows
and weatherized the home stopping wind and rain from leaking in. After many months without a stove, PMHR
provided a new one. These Colma residents have repeatedly voiced their extreme gratitude to PMHR.
In FY13 Q4, a single mother on welfare contacted ECSMC in need of a lot of safety and comfort work done.
Through a combination of ECSMC programs, including PMHR, Specialists provided this single mother and her
children with combustible, vented rooms, a thermostat, attic insulation and weatherization measures. Now the
children can breathe better. With an energy efficient washer and dryer, this single mother is able to keep her
family clean while conserving energ

Rebuilding Together Peninsula (RTP) seeks to maintain and improve the supply of affordable housing for low-
income individuals and families so that they can live more independently in safer, cleaner and healthier
environments. To accomplish this goal, RTP requests funds from the County of San Mateo, the City of Daly City,
the City of Redwood City, the City of San Mateo, and the City of South San Francisco. Funds will be used to cover
building materials and supplies for National Rebuilding Day (NRD), April 25, 2015 and any additional projects
completed prior to the end of FY 2014-15.
RTP is different from other home repair agencies in that the majority of our work is completed by volunteers,
collaborating to achieve our mission to help people remain in their own homes, independently in safety and
warmth. Each year, on National Rebuilding Day, thousands of volunteers throughout the county--and across the
country--come together to complete necessary repair work such as interior and exterior painting, accessibility
modifications, debris removal, fencing, yard work, low-maintenance landscaping, weatherization and energy
efficiency measures. Their group effort is combined with volunteer project management, private and public funding,
donations of materials and partnerships with professionals in the construction trades who install furnaces, repair or
replace roofs, complete plumbing and electrical repairs, repair or replace windows and doors, install flooring, and
repair stucco. The net result is a near-complete home transformation on a very limited budget. Because of our
volunteer-based program, we are able to do more work for less money. Through this program we are limited to
accepting projects that directly tie to our mission and are appropriate for a group of volunteers. However, RTP
actively refers applicants who do not fit the NRD model to our Safe at Home Minor Home Repair Program and the
other agencies providing home repair within the County--El Concilio, CIID, and the jurisdictions' home rehab loan
programs.
In addition to work completed on homes, RTP also provides free repair work to community facilities serving low-
income residents of San Mateo County. Our work with other non-profit and public agencies allows us to impact
thousands of individuals. Past facilities in Redwood City include: Fair Oaks Elementary School, InnVision Shelter
Network, Hoover Elementary, Hope House, Kainos, Mental Health Association and Family Connections. Past
facilities in South San Francisco include: the Boys and Girls Club, Salvation Army, and child care facilities. Past
facilities in San Mateo include: Samaritan House, P90, and InnVision Shelter Network. Each year, thousands of
low-income individuals benefit from our work on community facilities.
RTP is requesting $32,000 to rehabilitate eight homes in San Mateo County, particularly on the coast; $20,000
from the City of Daly City to rehabilitate six homes; $20,000 from the City of Redwood City to rehabilitate five
homes; $25,000 from the City of San Mateo to rehabilitate 5 homes; and $12,000 from the City of South San
Francisco to rehabilitate between three homes. We anticipate at least one complete roof replacement in each
jurisdiction. For any two-year contract, RTP is requesting the same amount for the second year with the goal of
serving the same number of homes, at least. Funds will be used to reimburse the cost of materials and supplies, as
well as a portion of roofing costs, if applicable.

13A. Assessment of Need - Redwood City: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for
each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
RTP supports the City of Redwood City's Consolidated Plan Affordable Housing Priority objective to improve the
condition of existing housing, particularly aging housing owned by lower income households that is in need of
repair in order to preserve the housing.
RTP offers services throughout Redwood City and received 32 requests for service in 2013. While RTP, Center for
Independence of Individuals with Disabilities, El Concilio and the City's rehab loan program all work to meet the
demand for free/affordable home repair work, the need continues to grow as the housing stock and population
continue to age. By providing free repair work, RTP helps Redwood City residents remain safe, warm and
independent in their own homes. For many of our senior clients, our work allows them to age in place. RTP works
with many clients that fit within Redwood City's preferences for the term of the Consolidated Plan, such as those in
large households, those that are elderly, persons with disabilities as well as extremely low and very low income
households.
Additionally, because we conduct a site visit for all income-eligible applicants, we have a strong sense of the
housing stock and conditions in every jurisdiction.

and/or access modifications. RTP offers services throughout San Mateo County and received over 123 requests for
service in 2013.

This funding is essential to RTP's work in South San Francisco. In other areas of the county, RTP is able to secure
corporate/private funding to cover the majority of repair costs. Through the support of the City and this funding,
RTP has been able to increase the number of projects completed and homeowners served.
Additionally, because we conduct a site visit for all income-eligible applicants, we have a strong sense of the
housing stock and conditions in every jurisdiction.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
During the summer and fall, RTP focuses on client outreach. Site visits of all qualified applicants are conducted in
late fall early winter. During this time, RTP is simultaneously recruiting volunteer project managers or 'captains' and
soliciting funding for the program. As site visits are completed, RTP makes referrals to applicants better fit for other
programs in addition to or instead of National Rebuilding Day. Projects are selected in late January, and applicants
are notified of acceptance or denial by early-mid February. Volunteer project managers begin planning projects in
February, continuing through April. Heavier construction such as roofs begins at this time as well. The majority of
projects are completed the end of April with some carryover into May and June.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Our primary criteria for determining the success of our program is completing the most crucial repairs required to
help homeowners occupants remain safe and healthy in their homes. Furthermore, RTP requests post-project
surveys from homeowners, volunteer leaders and general volunteers. We also consider our program successful if
the time and resources of those involved are leveraged to have a considerable and positive impact. Additionally,
the RTP board and staff complete an in-depth critique of NRD every year, including reviewing feedback from
sponsors and captains. The program is evaluated financially and for its success in fulfilling RTP's mission.
RTP is currently receiving grant funds and we are meeting our goals at this time. We have reviewed the NRD
applications and have completed most site visits for qualified applicants. At the end of January, we are scheduled
to select projects, matching applicants' needs in line with our mission with funding and volunteers
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
RTP collaborates with many nonprofit and public agencies throughout San Mateo County making reciprocal
referrals, coordinating service implementation and leveraging funds. RTP works closely with El Concilio,
Community Resource Project, PG&E, Senior Coastsiders, Center for Independence of Individuals with Disabilities,
the Child Care Coordinating Council and the Housing and Community Development Departments of the different
jurisdictions. In 2009, RTP began hosting a biannual Energy Workgroup to ensure that all agencies providing
energy upgrades were familiar with each others' work and could partner and make appropriate referrals.
Additionally, RTP is the only agency that provides free community facility repairs with a broad scope ranging from
minor yard work to roof replacement. This means that by serving our partner agencies, we're able to help them to
better serve their clients.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
The economy has been challenging the past four years. During this time, we have seen several shifts in housing
rehab in San Mateo County. Some of the cities have modified or eliminated their programs, North Peninsula
Neighborhood Services ended their program, Community Action Agency went bankrupt, CIID has had major
personnel changes. El Concilio has moved into minor rehab in addition to their work for PG&E and the Federal
contract for weatherization has changed hands many times.
While people have been struggling due to the economy, the cost of living has not gone down. Housing, health care,
food and energy has all gotten more expensive, but for people living on fixed incomes their ability to pay for these
things has not kept pace. Because of this, home maintenance remains a cost that is frequently postponed.

Additionally, we've seen an increase in the number of multi-generational families living in the same household.
This funding allows RTP to increase the number of projects we complete in San Mateo County, Daly City,
Redwood City, City of San Mateo and South San Francisco. It also allows us to expand the scope of work
completed at some sites, incorporating the seven principles of Healthy Housing. Without this funding, we would not
be able to complete as many homes in these areas and our impact would be minimized.

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative
outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
The goal of RTP's outreach efforts is that any income-qualified homeowner in our service area in need of home
repairs is aware of our programs. If particular groups seem to be underserved, RTP will target outreach at lunch
events, food distribution events, senior health and wellness fairs and senior and community centers for those
groups, as well as partner with other nonprofit agencies to distribute information to clients, volunteers and
members.
NOTE: Numbers in tables above are listed in individuals served. Counts do NOT include individuals served through
facilities.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
RTP is able to significantly leverage financial contributions from corporate sponsors, individuals, foundations and
governmental entities with the enormous amount of donated labor, discounted and donated materials from
suppliers, support from the unions and dedicated volunteer project managers. As a result, limited dollars such as
those granted through the local jurisdictions are used extremely effectively by our organization. Other funds come
from RTP's direct mail appeals to individual donors, which are budgeted to raise $183,000, as well as corporate
sponsorships budgeted at $460,000, and foundation grants with an $120,000 goal. On average we are able to
leverage each dollar into $5 worth of repairs.
NOTE: The program budgets submitted below are a proposal for expenditures in one year; if the jurisdiction
requires a two-year contract, the same amounts would be requested for the second year.

The biggest impact our program has on people's lives is to improve their living environment by completing
essential home repairs. Because of our work people are able to remain more independently in their home. Our
work also has a significant impact on the health and safety of our clients. Two concrete examples from this past
year happen to both be code enforcement issues. The first in EPA was a family of seven. They were referred to us
because they had a dilapidated carport that had because an extreme fire and safety hazard. When we visited their
home, we discovered dry rot in the bathroom and kitchen and faulty electrical. We were able to make their home
safe. In addition we repaired the front yard fence and purchased a play set for the young children in the family to
have a safe and secure place to play. The second code case was in SSF. The family had completed an illegal
garage conversion when the homeowner's daughter was forced to move back in after a severe domestic violence
incident (she was shot by her husband). The volunteers were able to bring the conversion up to code, most
importantly, fixing a frightening electrical mess. The roof was also replaced making the home safe against further
deterioration.

Rebuilding Together Peninsula (RTP) seeks creative and innovative ways to maintain and improve the supply of
affordable housing for low-income individuals and families so that they can live more independently in safer,
cleaner and healthier environments. For 25 years we have provided free home repair services to low-income
homeowners (seniors, individuals with disabilities, and families with children). We have two primary programs –
National Rebuilding Day (NRD) and Safe at Home. NRD relies heavily on volunteer labor and inkind donations.
Because of this leverage we are able to complete near-complete transformations. Safe at Home focuses on smaller
repairs—accessibility, emergencies, preventative maintenance, health and safety. Between both programs we
complete work on approximately 175 homes. To accomplish our goals, RTP requests funds from the County of San
Mateo, the City of Daly City, the City of Redwood City and the City of South San Francisco. Funds will be used to
cover building materials and supplies, outreach, mileage and a portion of staff labor for our Safe at Home - Minor
Home Repair Program.
Safe at Home is our year-round minor home repair program that addresses minor repair needs before they become
more serious safety or deferred maintenance issues. RTP piloted this program in 2010 in partnership with Menlo
Park Presbyterian Church and the City of Redwood City. We found that the demand for minor home repairs was
not being completely met by the existing service providers and many of RTP's applicants were not appropriate
matches for our existing programs at the time. Additionally, we had many skilled volunteers interested in year-
round volunteer opportunities.
Safe at Home is the logical extension of RTP's work into year-round service to the community and volunteer
opportunities for skilled volunteers. Safe at Home will focus on minor home repairs costing between $500-$2,500,
including debris removal, fence repair, basic home maintenance, exterior painting, light yard work, minor plumbing,
minor electrical, heating repair, roof repair, window repair/replacement, door repair/replacement, energy efficiency
measures, and some accessibility modifications. Safe at Home projects will be completed with a combination of
skilled volunteer labor and RTP staff. When no appropriate volunteer is available, either RTP staff will complete the
repair work or we will subcontract with a local contractor.
The primary objective of RTP is to preserve affordable housing, keeping low-income homeowners safe, warm and
independent in their own homes by providing free home repair work. Our target population is low-income
homeowners, including the elderly, individuals with disabilities and families with children. However, the majority of
our homeowners are seniors with disabilities living on a fixed income. RTP serves all of San Mateo County and the
cities of Palo Alto, Mountain View and Sunnyvale. If an applicant meets the basic requirements of homeownership,
income eligibility and residence, we schedule a preview of their home. If the required work meets our mission of
safety, warmth, and independence, as well as the parameters of minor home repair, RTP staff will schedule a
volunteer work day or complete the work themselves.
RTP is requesting $126,000 to complete minor repairs for 62 homes in San Mateo County, $20,000 from the City of
Daly City to complete minor repairs for 10 homes, $25,000 from the City of South San Francisco to complete minor
repairs for 16 homes, $16,500 from the City of Redwood City for 18 homes, and $46,000 from the City of San
Mateo to complete repairs on 21 homes (including 2-4 paint projects) for one year of each contract. For any two-
year contract, RTP is requesting the same amount for the second year with the goal of serving the same number of
homes. Funds will be used to reimburse the cost of materials and supplies, as well as a portion of staff labor, and
some administrative costs. We are requesting a slightly higher reimbursement rate per project for this two-year
cycle because we have been completing the majority of repairs with staff and vendors, because of workers’
compensation rules, the hourly rate for our Safe at Home Technician increased significantly, and the additional
reporting requirements.

RTP supports the City of Redwood City's Consolidated Plan Affordable Housing Priority objective to improve the
condition of existing housing, particularly aging housing owned by lower income households that is in need of
repair in order to preserve the housing.
RTP offers services throughout Redwood City and received 32 requests for service in 2013. While RTP, Center for
Independence of Individuals with Disabilities, El Concilio and the City's rehab loan program all work to meet the
demand for free/affordable home repair work, the need continues to grow as the housing stock and population
continue to age. By providing free repair work, RTP helps Redwood City residents remain safe, warm and
independent in their own homes. For many of our senior clients, our work allows them to age in place. RTP works
with many clients that fit within Redwood City's preferences for the term of the Consolidated Plan, such as those in
large households, those that are elderly, persons with disabilities as well as extremely low and very low income
households.
Additionally, because we conduct a site visit for all income-eligible applicants, we have a strong sense of the
housing stock and conditions in every jurisdiction.

This funding is essential to RTP's work in South San Francisco. In other areas of the county, RTP is able to secure
corporate/private funding to cover the majority of repair costs. Through the support of the City and this funding,
RTP has been able to increase the number of projects completed and homeowners served.
Additionally, because we conduct a site visit for all income-eligible applicants, we have a strong sense of the
housing stock and conditions in every jurisdiction.

14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
Because this program operates year round, RTP will have a consistent focus on outreach once funding is secured,
utilizing existing means of outreach for RTP's other programs to include the Safe at Home - Minor Home Repair
Program where applicable. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, though homeowners will be encouraged
to submit applications prior to each quarterly application deadline. Review of applications and site assessments will
occur on a rolling basis. Once an application has been deemed an appropriate fit for Safe at Home, any necessary
paperwork/environmental reviews will be filed with the jurisdiction. At the same time, RTP will continually work to
match projects with the appropriate volunteers, staff or vendors. As part of the Safe at Home program for the
current year, we have been consistently working to grow our pool of skilled volunteers and sources of private
funding.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Our primary criteria for determining the success of our program is completing the most crucial repairs required to
help homeowners remain safe in their homes. Furthermore, RTP requests post-project surveys from homeowners,
volunteer leaders and general volunteers. We also consider our program successful if the time and resources of
those involved are leveraged to have a considerable and positive impact. Additionally, the RTP board and staff will
complete an in-depth critique of Safe at Home annually, including reviewing feedback from sponsors and captains.
The program is evaluated financially and for its success in fulfilling RTP's mission.
RTP is currently receiving grant funds and we are meeting our goals at this time. Applications continue to be
submitted and staff continues to review applications and match repair needs with volunteers accordingly.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
RTP collaborates with many nonprofit and public agencies throughout San Mateo County making reciprocal
referrals, coordinating service implementation and leveraging funds. RTP works closely with El Concilio,
Community Resource Project, PG&E, Senior Coastsiders, Center for Independence of Individuals with Disabilities,
the Child Care Coordinating Council and the Housing and Community Development Departments of the different
jurisdictions. In 2009, RTP began hosting a biannual Energy Workgroup to ensure that all agencies providing
energy upgrades were familiar with each others' work and could partner and make appropriate referrals. These
partnerships play a large part in making people aware of the Safe at Home - Minor Home Repair Program.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
The economy has been challenging the past four years. During this time, we have seen several shifts in housing
rehab in San Mateo County. Some of the cities have modified or eliminated their programs, North Peninsula
Neighborhood Services ended their program, Community Action Agency went bankrupt, CIID has had major
personnel changes. El Concilio has moved into minor rehab in addition to their work for PG&E and the Federal
contract for weatherization has changed hands many times.
While people have been struggling due to the economy, the cost of living has not gone down. Housing, health care,
food and energy has all gotten more expensive, but for people living on fixed incomes their ability to pay for these
things has not kept pace. Because of this, home maintenance remains a cost that is frequently postponed.
Additionally, we've seen an increase in the number of multi-generational families living in the same household.
At the same time that the need for services is increasing, the regulatory environment is tightening. This has made it
much more expensive and staff intensive to complete projects.
This funding allowed RTP to expand the Safe at Home Program and to increase the number of homeowners
served in San Mateo County, Daly City, Redwood City, the City of San Mateo, and South San Francisco. It also
allows us to provide more opportunities to engage skilled and general volunteers. Without this funding, we would
not be able to continue the Safe at Home Program in many of these areas.
18. Project Beneficiaries/Quantifiable Measurement: Indicate the expected number of beneficiaries to be served

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative
outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
The goal of RTP's outreach efforts is that any income qualified homeowner in our service area in need of home
repairs is aware of our programs. If particular groups seem to be underserved, RTP will target outreach at lunch
events, food distribution events, senior health and wellness fairs and senior and community centers for those
groups, as well as partner with other nonprofit agencies to distribute information to clients, volunteers and
members.
NOTE: Numbers in tables above are listed in individuals served.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
RTP is able to significantly leverage funding for the Safe at Home Program with volunteer labor, discounted and
donated materials from suppliers, dedicated volunteer project managers, and supplementing the program with
private funding. As a result, limited dollars such as those granted through the local jurisdictions are used extremely
effectively by our organization.

3. Program Outcomes: In what ways has your program made a difference in the lives of the people you serve?
Please provide at least one concrete example from the people served in FY/13:
The biggest impact our program has on people's lives is to improve their living environment by completing
essential home repairs. Because of our work people are able to remain more independently in their home. Our
work also has a significant impact on the health and safety of our clients. This year, two homeowners that we
worked with did not have a working water heater. The first homeowner, had not had hot water for several years.
We also replaced a broken toilet in a ground-floor bathroom, making her home more accessible. The other family
was a single mom with young children. She too had a broken water heater, but in addition to not having hot water,
the plumbing in her kitchen was broken. Replacing her water heater and fixing the plumbing completely changed
her life.

To combat illegal housing discrimination and ensure civil rights protection, Project Sentinel provides
comprehensive fair housing services of complaint investigation, consultation, information and referral, and
community outreach and education. Fair housing investigations that reveal evidence of illegal discrimination are
addressed through education, conciliation, HUD or DFEH filings, or litigation. Consultations address fair housing
questions that do not warrant an investigation. Information and referral services links a caller with a housing
problem to the most appropriate service provider(s). Education and outreach activities increase the targeted
population's and the public's awareness of the existence and benefits of fair housing.
These services are provided throughout the rental and homeownership process and are available to home seekers,
in-place residents, and housing providers. Provision of these services will help create and maintain healthy
communities and will assist San Mateo County, Redwood City and South San Francisco in meeting its CDBG
obligation to affirmatively further fair housing. Proposed services will be delivered from Project Sentinel's office in
Redwood City, Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4:30 PM, with telephone intake from 9 AM to 4 PM. 'After-
hours' work is scheduled as needed and by appointments.
Complaints are investigated by testing, interviews, surveys, and document review. The agency maintains a pool of
culturally and racially diverse testers. In its enforcement efforts, Project Sentinel processes approximately 120
cases and consultations a year throughout San Mateo county. Approximately 25 to 35 per cent of the investigations
reveal evidence substantiating the claim of discrimination. The majority of these meritorious complaints are
conciliated by staff with approximately 10 to 15 per cent being referred to a government enforcement office (HUD
or DFEH) or to a member of the private bar. Project Sentinel assists the balance of those cases that do not show
evidence of a violation by helping the complainant understand the other side of the scenario of their allegation or by
counseling on how the complainant can strengthen their home search or stabilize the tenancy.
Community outreach and education are accomplished through the use of mass media, public presentations,
training workshops and the distribution of multi-lingual educational material. The US Department of Housing and
Urban Development and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing also process complaints of
housing discrimination. They use the same types of investigation methods and often rely on the evidence produced
by Project Sentinel. Unique elements in our community outreach services include: an annual fair housing
symposium, 'Rent Watch' a question and answer newspaper column. transit posters, multi-lingual social service
agency presentations.
13A. Assessment of Need - Redwood City: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for
each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Fair and equal access to housing is a primary civil right of all people and is a requirement of HUD for the reciept of
federal funding. Fair housing services will serve those of protected status, producing integrated, healthy
communities for the benefit of all in Redwood City.
Victims of housing discrimination are often among the poorest and most underserved residents of our community.
Redwood City's demographics shows 31% of the population are Hispanics. The linguistic, cultural, mental, and
physical barriers that contribute to discrimination often prevent victims from perceiving, understanding, and
addressing discriminatory treatment. Project Sentinel will combat these barriers to fair housing by reaching out
directly to target populations. Continued education must be available to housing providers, home seekers, and the
community at large on the rights and responsibilities of developing and maintaining a balanced and integrated
community.
Low Income Renters: While the fair housing laws encompass all housing, rented or owner occupied, it is renters
that fall victim to discrimination. Redwood City is part of a geographic area where the rental housing market is
particularly volatile and challenging. According to American FactFinder, 31% of renters spend 30-34% of income on
rent. The shortage of decent low- and moderate- cost rental housing, remains despite the economic recession
where many homes have lost value and places people of protected status, most of whom are low income, at an
extreme disadvantage, compounding the effects of pervasive discrimination. Redwood City's 2010 Consolidated
Plan reflects a highly diverse ethnic population which serves as the basis for Project Sentinel's multilingual srevices
of culturally-sensitive counseling, and educational literature translated into Spanish and various Asian languages.
Those with Disabilities: Census 2000 shows twenty-four percent (24%) of the population of Redwood City had a
disability. `Discrimination against people with disabilities remains a real and chronic problem. Harmful myths and
stereotypes have shut the doors of housing opportunity for many people with disabilities in Redwood City and is the
protected category we receive the most calls about. Even when supportive or subsidized housing becomes

available to individuals with disabilities, often these individuals have difficulties getting reasonable accomodation for
their disabilities that would enable them to obtain or fully enjoy this housing. Fair housing services can assist in
securing this civil right.
13B. Assessment of Need - City of San Mateo: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program
for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.

Low Income Renters: Census 2010 shows 47.8% of the housing units in San Mateo City are renter occupied. While
the fair housing laws encompass all housing, rented or owner occupied, it is renters that fall victim to discrimination.
San Mateo is part of a geographic area where the rental housing market is particularly volatile and challenging. The
shortage of decent low- and moderate- cost rental housing, remains despite the economic recession where many
homes have lost value and places people of protected status, most of whom are low income, at an extreme
disadvantage, compounding the effects of pervasive discrimination. San Mateo's population is highly diverse,
consisting of 26% Hispanic. Of the non-Hispanic population, Asians comprise 18%. Forty-six percent of the
population speak a language other than English. These data serve as the basis for Project Sentinel's multilingual
srevices of culturally-sensitive counseling, and educational literature translated into Spanish and various Asian
languages.

13C. Assessment of Need - County of San Mateo: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your
program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s)
served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Fair and equal access to housing is a primary civil right of all people and is a requirement of HUD for the reciept of
federal funding. Fair housing services will serve those of protected status, producing integrated, healthy
communities for the benefit of all in San Mateo County.
Victims of housing discrimination are often among the poorest and most underserved residents of our community.
The linguistic, cultural, mental, and physical barriers that contribute to discrimination often prevent victims from
perceiving, understanding, and addressing discriminatory treatment. Project Sentinel will combat these barriers to
fair housing by reaching out directly to target populations. Continued education must be available to housing
providers, home seekers, and the community at large on the rights and responsibilities of developing and
maintaining a balanced and integrated community.
Low Income Renters: Forty percent of housing units in San Mateo County or renter-occupied. While the fair
housing laws encompass all housing, rented or owner occupied, it is renters that fall victim to discrimination in San
Mateo County. San Mateo County is part of a geographic area where the rental housing market is particularly
volatile and challenging. The shortage of decent low- and moderate- cost rental housing, remains despite the
economic recession where many homes have lost value and places people of protected status, most of whom are
low income, at an extreme disadvantage, compounding the effects of pervasive discrimination. San Mateo's
Consolidated Plan an AI Report reflect a highly diverse ethnic population consisting of 25% Hispanic. Of the non-
Hispanic, 24% are Asians. This serves as the basis for Project Sentinel's multilingual srevices of culturally-sensitive
counseling, and educational literature translated into Spanish and various Asian languages.
Those with Disabilities: ``Discrimination against people with disabilities remains a real and chronic problem.
Harmful myths and stereotypes have shut the doors of housing opportunity for many people with disabilities in San
Mateo County and is the protected category we receive the most calls about. Even when supportive or subsidized
housing becomes available to individuals with disabilities, often these individuals have difficulties getting
reasonable accomodation for their disabilities that would enable them to obtain or fully enjoy this housing. Fair
housing services can assist in securing this civil right.

Fair and equal access to housing is a primary civil right of all people and is a requirement of HUD for the receipt of
federal funding. Fair housing services will serve those of protected status, producing integrated, healthy
communities for the benefit of all in South San Francisco.
Victims of housing discrimination are often among the poorest and most underserved residents of our community.
South San Francisco's demographics shows 34% of the population are Hispanics, 36% Asian, 43% foreign born
and 60% speak a language other than English at home. The linguistic, cultural, mental, and physical barriers that
contribute to discrimination often prevent victims from perceiving, understanding, and addressing discriminatory
treatment. Project Sentinel will combat these barriers to fair housing by reaching out directly to target populations.
Continued education must be available to housing providers, home seekers, and the community at large on the
rights and responsibilities of developing and maintaining a balanced and integrated community.
Low Income Renters: While the fair housing laws encompass all housing, rented or owner occupied, it is renters
that fall victim to discrimination. South San Francisco is part of a geographic area where the rental housing market
is particularly challenging. According to American FactFinder, 43% of renters spend 35% or more of income on
rent. The shortage of decent low- and moderate- cost rental housing, remains despite the economic recession
where many homes have lost value and places people of protected status, most of whom are low income, at an
extreme disadvantage, compounding the effects of pervasive discrimination. South San Francisco's 2010
Consolidated Plan reflects the most diverse ethnic population in the County. It is this type of diversity which serves
as the basis for Project Sentinel's multilingual services of culturally-sensitive counseling, and educational literature
translated into Spanish and various Asian languages.
Those with Disabilities: Census 2000 shows thirty-six percent (36%) of the population 65 years old or older of
South San Francisco had a disability. `Discrimination against people with disabilities remains a real and chronic
problem. Harmful myths and stereotypes have shut the doors of housing opportunity for many people with
disabilities in South San Francisco and is the protected category we receive the most calls about. Even when
supportive or subsidized housing becomes available to individuals with disabilities, often these individuals have
difficulties getting reasonable accommodation that would enable them to obtain or fully enjoy this housing. Fair
housing services can assist in securing this civil right.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you
plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
All program services of I&R, consultations, complaint counseling and investigation, community outreach and
education are on-going. Reimbursement requests are based on direct service hours recorded on daily time sheets.
Staff time spent on any one jurisdiction will vary based on case load demands but can be controlled by increasing
or decreasing outreach to comply with budget requirements and timely draws. All Project Sentinel staff are acutely
aware of time management and the need to plan and track time expenditures and to achieve reasonable contract
goals:
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or
not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments
of goals to date.
Quantitative: Case files will confirm fair housing investigation assistance as well as tangeble outcomes. We follow
complaints beyond the investigation stage to final resolution. Phone logs will record information and referal services
as well as how callers learned of the service to help shape future outreach efforts. Participant sign-in sheets will
confirm attendance at outreach presentations.
Qualitative: Process surveys solicit feed back on educational presentations and pre/post tests demonstrate the
effectiveness of trainings and presentations by measuring whether the participants' knowledge was increased.
Information on enforcement activity as well as outreach and education work efforts are submitted to the jurisdiction
in quarterly reports
All goals have been met.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Project Sentinel collaborates with a wide range of groups and grassroots community organizations to promote fair
housing and to reach protected households and individuals. We believe it is important to educate 'front line'
providers on what fair housing is, how to recognize a complaint, and how to make an effective enforcement referral.
The more the staff at other service agencies understand what fair housing is, the better they can serve their
clientele with a referral to Project Sentinel. Collaborations for enhanced staff training for effective referrals
include:Shelter Network (education, referrals), Caminar (referrals), Center for Independence of the Disabled
(education, referrals)•Legal Aid of San Mateo (referrals), NAACP (education, referrals), AARP (education,
referrals), StarVista (education, referrals), Sunset Project (education, referrals) and Swords to Plowshares
(education referrals).
Project Sentinel is an active member in the San Mateo Housing Advocates Quarterly Meeting (SMHAQM). This
collaborative includes the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, the Stanford Law Clinic, and Community Legal
Services in East Palo Alto. We are working to coordinate our organizations’ services, as well as strategize about
housing equality as it relates to community planning. Project Sentinel fair housing coordinators also frequently
communicate informally about specific cases with housing rights attorneys in these agencies to decrease unlawful
evictions and homelessness. For instance, we have been working in collaboration with Legal Aid Society and

Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto to protect the housing rights of the tenants in the large complex
mentioned above in 'G.' We have worked as a team to further the investigation of fair housing and landlord/tenant
law violations..
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or
service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may
not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these
funds.
The loss of Federal FHIP funding for FY 1314 and the reduction of local. CDBG funding by 20% has severely
reduced our ability to provide as much staff support in San Mateo County as we would like to. Outreach and
networking are essential to any viable fair housing service yet, our resources are such that the one staff person
assigned to serve all of San Mateo County may not be able to make as many meetings and events as desired.
18. Project Beneficiaries/Quantifiable Measurement: Indicate the expected number of beneficiaries to be served
by the program. For each response below please indicate both the number of households and number of

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative
outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
Project Sentinel has developed and distributed a wide range of educational material in English, Spanish and
several Asian languages. We will continue to translate and distribute material. We plan to reach out to more service
groups for ethnic Asians, Africans, East Indians and those from the Middle East.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your
organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
Project Sentinel has historically been able to augment local CDBG funding for fair housing with separate federal
grants contributing approximately 30-35% of the agency’s annual fair housing budget. While we were not able to
secure additional federal funds for FY 1314 we fully expect to secure those funds in the future. We also provide fee
generating fair housing training to housing providers.

Project Specific Narrative:
As discussed at the February 19, 2014 City Council Study Session, staff has proposed that
the City Council allocate CDBG funding towards Public Right of Way (ROW)
Improvements in the Downtown. ROW projects provide a low cost option to make a visual
difference in the Downtown. If approved by City Council, the City will prioritize and
implement ROW projects identified in the Downtown Station Area Plan (DSAP), which is to
be reviewed by City Council in summer 2014. The DSAP calls for improving streets and
open spaces, supporting local business along Grand Avenue with new streetscape
improvements, and providing flexible open space for events. This funding is to include the
reallocation of funding historically designated for the City-Sponsored Commercial
Rehabilitation Program (i.e. Downtown Façade Improvement Program), which will be
funded by General Fund dollars instead in FY 14-15.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Michael Massoni, Public Safety Chief
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE RENEWAL OF THE AMENDED PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS FOR RED LIGHT

RECOMMENDATIOIV:
It is recommended that City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the renewal of the
amended agreement with American Traffic Solutions and approve Amendment Two for the
automated Red Light Enforcement Program in South San Francisco.
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION:
As Council is aware, the City of South San Francisco has had a Red Light Enforcement Program in place since
August of 2009. The City of South San Francisco entered into a contract with American Traffic Solutions ("ATS')
to provide the equipment and technology for this program. Currently, this program is in two locations within the
City, with one (1) location at the intersection of Chestnut AvenuelWestborough Boulevard and El Camino Real, as
well as the intersection of Hickey Boulevard and El Carnino Real.
The contract with ATS is for five (5) years, beginning from the first revenue-generating citation, which was August
13, 2009. Per the contract agreement terms, the contract will automatically renew on August 13, 2014 for an
additional five (5) years unless the City of South San Francisco notifies ATS by April 14,2014.
ACCIDENT DATA
Since 2005, with the integration of improved and more accurate records inanagement systems and procedures, the
City of South San Francisco has recorded a total of two hundred fifteen (21 5) collisions from both intersections
where red light cameras now operate. At those intersections, a total of twenty two (22) of those collisions
(approximately 10% of all collisions) have been attributed to red light violations. Those collisions resulted in minor
injuries to twenty seven (27) people and major injuries to thrce (3) people. 'lhe remaining ninety percent (90%) of
collisions at those intersections have been attributed to unsafe speeds, following too closely, unsafe lane changes,

Staff Report
Subject: Renewal and Amendment to Contract Between the City of South San Francisco and ATS
Date: March 12,20 14
Page: 4
Staff from the South San Francisco Police Department and the City Attorney's office have negotiated with
staff from ATS regarding the compensation paid for this service and the options for the City of South San
Francisco to opt out of this extension without cause with a six (6) month notice by either party.
Currently, the South San Francisco Police Department utilizes the assets from the Red Light Camera Program
to fund the "Every 15 Minute Program", a drunk driving prevention project which is presented annually at oiie
of the South San Francisco high schools. This cost is approximately twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00).
CONCLUSION:
Information gathered by Police Department staff indicates that the accident rate for the Hickey Blvd.
intersection has remained relatively the same, while the accident rate at the Westborough Blvd. intersection
has gone up. Both intersections have shown a reduction in the number of accidents attributed to red light
violations, and the number of injuries has gone down at both intersections. Citizens have contacted Police
Department staff regarding these cameras, stating that since the City of South San Francisco has installed the
cameras, they find themselves paying more attention when driving in all areas and not just in the area that the
cameras are installed. It is recommended that City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the renewal of the
contract with American Traffic Solutions and approve Amendment Two for the automated Red Light
Enforcement Program in South San Francisco.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council take one of the following actions:
1. Adopt a resolution making findings and adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration;
adopt a resolution approving a use permit, design review and transportation
demand management plan; and waive reading and introduce an Ordinance
approving a Development Agreement; or,
2. Adopt a resolution making findings and denying the Project.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City Council has previously held public hearings on the application for the Centennial
Village Project at 180 El Camino Real (“Project”) at their regularly scheduled meetings of
September 11, 2013, September 25, 2013, October 23, 2013 and February 26, 2014. Copies of
these Staff Reports (without attachments) are attached for a complete background on the project.
As originally reviewed by the City Council, the proposed Project consisted of the demolition of
the existing 145,000 square foot shopping center and replacement with a mixed-use shopping
center containing 220,000 square feet of commercial area, including 284 residential units on
upper levels. The development was proposed to be constructed in up to three phases, as follows:
Staff Report
Subject: 180 El Camino Real - Mixed Use Development
Date: March 12, 2014
Page 2 of 4
Phase 1
- Construction of ground level retail for Major Tenants 1 (Safeway), 2 (to be determined),
the health club, and both levels of Buildings A, B, C and D and Major Tenant 3 (CVS).
- Construction of all surface parking and landscaping improvements.
- Construction of 184 parking stalls above Safeway and Major Tenant 2.
Phase 2
- Construction of all structured parking and Building E (including basement level parking).
- Construction of parking level above Building E and Health Club building.
- Construction of a minimum of 141 residential units above the Health Club and Building
E.
Phase 3
- Construction of the remaining residential units (up to a total 284 units) above Safeway
and Major Tenant 2.
At the September 11, 2013 City Council meeting, staff provided the City Council with
documents in support of the Project based on the Planning Commission’s recommendation to
approve the Project. Council noted various concerns including the lack of assurances regarding
the construction of residential units and the term of the Development Agreement.
Thereafter, at the October 23, 2013 meeting the City Council closed the public hearing and
continued the matter to November 13, 2013, directing staff to prepare findings for denial.
Subsequently, the applicant requested that the meeting of November 13, 2013 be continued off-
calendar in order to allow for further discussions regarding the inclusion of residential in the first
phase of development and other issues.
A subsequent public hearing was scheduled for the regular meeting of February 12, 2014 and
was continued again to February 26, 2014. At that meeting, the applicant requested that the
meeting be continued until March 12, 2014 to allow the owner to exhaust the possibility of
addressing all of the issues raised by the City Council.
REVISED PHASING
The applicant has revised the proposed phasing of the project, and Phase 1 would now include a
minimum of 150 residential units above the Safeway/Major 2 building. The complete revised
phasing plan is as follows:
Phase 1
- All commercial buildings except Building E.
- Subterranean parking under Safeway/Major 2.
- Second floor parking above Safeway/Major 2.
- A minimum of 150 apartment units above Safeway/Major 2.
- All current site improvements and design features.
- No change to building architecture.
- Structural/foundation enhancements for Health Club building sufficient to support
approved residential construction and associated parking above.
Staff Report
Subject: 180 El Camino Real - Mixed Use Development
Date: March 12, 2014
Page 3 of 4
Phase 2
- Building E.
- Second floor parking above Building E and the Health Club.
- Construction of the remaining residential units (up to a total 284 units) above Building E/
Major 2.
- All remaining parking structure levels.
The revised drawings showing the appearance of the project at the completion of Phase 1 are
attached to the staff report (Attachment 1a, Exhibit C). The Design Review Board reviewed this
proposed phasing plan at their meetings of February 19, 2013 and March 19, 2013 and was
supportive of the general appearance. The proposed alterations have been reviewed by staff and
meet the City’s design criteria and zoning requirements.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
The Development Agreement has been revised to reflect the updated phasing discussed above.
Additionally, the term of the Development Agreement has been reduced from 20 years to 10
years. The Development Agreement provides the developer the ability to alter the apartment unit
mix (number of bedrooms), apartment layout and size of units at its discretion, as long as all such
revisions comply with Zoning Ordinance requirements, environmental review, and do not result
in any significant changes to the exterior elevations.
The Development Agreement also includes provisions requiring building permits for the
residential portion of the project to be issued concurrently with building permits for the
Safeway/Major 2 building, and requiring construction of vertical wall framing for the residential
units to have commenced prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy for any commercial
buildings.
Prevailing Wage
The Development Agreement includes a requirement that prevailing wages be paid for all
construction work at the site, including all demolition, excavation and construction but not
including any tenant improvement work.
Economic Feasibility
Previous drafts of the Development Agreement included triggers related to the economic
feasibility of constructing the residential units and a provision allowing the City to promote the
residential component of the project to potential developers or lenders. With the inclusion of
residential units in Phase 1 of the development, all of these provisions have been deleted from
the Development Agreement. The revised Development Agreement is attached to the draft
Ordinance with the revisions from the prior Development Agreement marked in track changes.
CONCLUSION
Should the City Council support the revised Project phasing, findings of approval, including
Zoning Ordinance and General Plan consistency are set forth in the attached Draft CEQA
Resolution (Attachment 1a), Draft Entitlements Resolution (Attachment 1b) and Draft Ordinance
adopting a Development Agreement (Attachment 1c).

A RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS AND ADOPTING
THE INITIAL STUDY AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 14.5
ACRE SITE FOR THE CENTENNIAL VILLAGE AT 180
EL CAMINO REAL PROJECT IN THE EL CAMINO
REAL MIXED USE ZONING DISTRICT
WHEREAS, El Camino and Spruce LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
(“Applicant”), has submitted an application for a mixed-use project on an approximately 14.5
acre site located at 180 El Camino Real, which consists of approximately 220,000 square feet of

et seq. (“CEQA”); and,
WHEREAS, in accordance with CEQA, an initial study was performed, the result of
which was preparation and circulation of a mitigated negative declaration (“IS/MND”) analyzing
the proposed Project and concluding that approval of the Project could not have a significant
effect on the environment because the impacts of the Project could all be mitigated to levels
below established CEQA thresholds of significance with the adoption of mitigation measures and
enforcement of such measures through a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(“MMRP”); and,
WHEREAS, the IS/MND was provided to the State Clearinghouse and circulated for a
30-day public review period, beginning on April 12, 2013, during which time members of the
public were invited to comment on the environmental analysis and conclusions for the proposed
Project; and,

2013, to consider the IS/MND, the proposed Use Permit, Design Review, Transportation
Demand Management Plan and Development Agreement for the Project and take public
testimony, at the conclusion of which, the Planning Commission recommended that the City
Council adopt the IS/MND and approve the Project; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on September 11, 2013
which was continued to September 25, 2013 and to October 23, 2013 and to November 13, 2013,
and another duly noticed public hearing on February 12, 2014, which was continued to February

the IS/MND, including all comment letters submitted, and makes the findings contained in this
Resolution, and adopts the IS/MND, as an objective and accurate document that reflects the
independent judgment and analysis of the City in the discussion of the Project’s environmental
impacts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based on the entirety of the record before
it, which includes without limitation, the California Environmental Quality Act, Public
Resources Code §21000, et seq. (“CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 California Code of
Regulations §15000, et seq.; the South San Francisco General Plan, General Plan EIR and South
El Camino Real General Plan Amendment EIR; the South San Francisco Municipal Code; the
Project application; the Centennial Village Project Plans, as prepared by Johnson Lyman
Architects, dated August 1, 2013; the Preliminary Transportation Demand Management Plan, as
prepared by TJKM Transportation Consultants, dated July 9, 2013; the 180 El Camino Real
IS/MND, including the Draft and Final IS/MND, the MMRP and all appendices thereto; all site
plans, and all reports, minutes, and public testimony submitted as part of the Planning
Commission’s meeting held on August 15, 2013, and Planning Commission deliberations; all
reports, minutes, and public testimony submitted as part of the City Council’s duly noticed
public hearing on September 11, 2013, which was continued to September 25, 2013 and to
October 23, 2013 and to November 13, 2013, and duly noticed public hearing on February 12,
2014, which was continued to February 26, 2014 and to March 12, 2014, and City Council
deliberations; and any other evidence (within the meaning of Public Resources Code §21080(e)
and §21082.2), the City Council of the City of South San Francisco hereby finds as follows:
1. The foregoing Recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Resolution.
2. The exhibits and attachments, including the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration
(attached as Exhibit A) and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, included with the
Final IS/MND (attached as Exhibit B) are each incorporated by reference and made a part of this
Resolution, as if set forth fully herein.
3. The documents and other material constituting the record for these proceedings are
located at the Planning Division for the City of South San Francisco, 315 Maple Avenue, South
San Francisco, CA 94080, and in the custody of Chief Planner, Susy Kalkin.
3
4. The proposed Project is consistent with the City of South San Francisco General Plan
because the land use, development standards, densities and intensities, buildings and structures
proposed are compatible with the goals, policies, and land use designations established in the
General Plan (see Gov’t Code, § 65860), and none of the land uses, development standards,
densities and intensities, buildings and structures will operate to conflict with or impede
achievement of the any of the goals, policies, or land use designations established in the General
Plan.
5. In accordance with CEQA, the City Council has considered the Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project, and based on the entirety of the record, as
described above, the City Council, exercising its independent judgment and analysis, makes the
following findings regarding the environmental analysis of the Project:
a. In October 1999, the City Council certified an Environmental Impact Report for
the General Plan; in 2001 the City Council certified a Supplemental Environmental Impact
Report for updates to the General Plan. In 2010, the City Council certified an Environmental
Impact Report for the South El Camino Real General Plan and Zoning Amendments. CEQA
allows for streamlined approval of actions that are consistent with adopted General Plans for
which an EIR was certified. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21083; CEQA Guidelines, §§
15152, 15183.) An initial study was prepared for the proposed Project and a mitigated negative
declaration analyzed the potential for impacts that were peculiar to the Project or not analyzed as
significant impacts in the General Plan EIR, Supplemental EIR, or South El Camino Real EIR.
The IS/MND, which expressly considers the City’s previous EIRs, concludes that approval of the
Project will not result in any significant environmental impacts.
b. Design features of the Project, as well as the mitigation measures proposed in the
IS/MND and included in the MMRP, will operate to ensure the impacts of the proposed Project
will not exceed established CEQA thresholds of significance. Therefore, and as further
documented in the IS/MND for the Project, additional mitigation measures beyond those
established in the MMRP are not required for the Project.
c. For the reasons stated in this Resolution, the City Council finds that there is no
substantial evidence in the record supporting a fair argument that approval of the Project will

B. Use Permit
8
1. The proposed Project is consistent with the standards and requirements of the
City’s Zoning Ordinance and with the provisions of the El Camino Real Mixed Use Zone
District. The Project meets or exceeds all of the general development standards of the El
Camino Real Mixed Use Zone District, with the exception of the minimum El Camino Real
setback, building length and separation, required commercial frontage, depth of required
commercial frontage, and the maximum length of street frontage walls without an opening. The
stated exceptions are permissible and warranted by the City’s Zoning Ordinance.
2. The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan by creating a mixed-use
environment that emphasizes pedestrian-activity with buildings built up to the sidewalk along El
Camino Real and South Spruce Ave, provides a well-articulated and visually engaging
development that implements the goals of the Grand Boulevard Initiative and the El Camino
Real Master Plan and locates parking in a way that is not visually dominant, is consistent with
the City’s Design Guidelines as they relate to building design, form and articulation and provides
commercial uses along both El Camino Real and South Spruce Avenue.
3. The proposed use will not be adverse to the public health, safety, or general
welfare of the community, nor detrimental to surrounding properties or improvements, because
the proposed use is consistent with the existing uses in the vicinity of the site, including the
commercial and residential. The project proposes mixed-use Commercial and Residential uses
on a site located in the City’s El Camino Real corridor, which is intended for this type of use.
The General Plan has analyzed this type of use in the South El Camino Real corridor, and
concluded that mixed-use commercial and residential uses are not adverse to the public health,
safety, or welfare. As the proposed Project is consistent with surrounding land uses, approval of
the Project will not be detrimental to the nearby properties.
4. The proposed Project complies with applicable standards and requirements of the
City’s Zoning Ordinance, with the exception of the minimum El Camino Real setback, building
length and separation, required commercial frontage, depth of required commercial frontage, and
the maximum length of street frontage walls without an opening. The stated exceptions are
permissible and warranted by the City’s Zoning Ordinance. The proposed Project is located in
the El Camino Real Mixed Use District and, subject to the exceptions discussed above in Section
B.1, which are permissible and warranted by the City’s Zoning Ordinance, meets the minimum
standards and requirements for that district.
5. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed Project
are compatible with the existing and reasonably foreseeable future land uses in the vicinity
because the Project proposes commercial and residential uses in the El Camino Real corridor,
which is specifically intended for such uses.
9
6. The site is physically suitable for the type of development and density proposed,
as the mixed-use commercial and residential uses will benefit from being located in the El
Camino Real corridor, and the size and development is appropriate for the location and meets the
City’s land use and zoning standards.
7. The Project is consistent with CEQA for the reasons stated in Finding A.4 above.
C. Design Review
1. The Project, including Design Review, is consistent with Title 20 of the South
San Francisco Municipal Code because the Project has been designed as a mixed-use
commercial and residential campus which will provide a pedestrian-friendly environment with
extensive landscaping and sustainability elements incorporated.
2. The Project, including Design Review, is consistent with the General Plan
because the proposed mixed-use development is consistent with the policies and design direction
provided in the South San Francisco General Plan for the El Camino Real Mixed Use land use
designation by encouraging the development of a mixed-use environment that emphasizes
pedestrian-activity in the El Camino Real corridor.
3. The Project, including Design Review, is consistent with the applicable design
guidelines adopted by the City Council in that the proposed Project is consistent with the El
Camino Real Mixed Use District Standards included in Chapter 20.090.
4. The Project is consistent with the Use Permit, as proposed for modification, for
the reasons stated in Section B, above.
5. The Project is consistent with the applicable design review criteria in Section
20.480.006 (“Design Review Criteria”) because the project has been evaluated by the Design
Review Board on April 7, 2012, February 19, 2013, March 9, 2013 and August 1, 2013, and
found to be consistent with each of the eight design review criteria included in the “Design
Review Criteria” section of the Ordinance, and the Design Review Board.
D. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan
1. The proposed trip reduction measures contained in the TDM (attached hereto as
Exhibit B) are feasible and appropriate for the Project, considering the proposed use or mix of
uses and the project’s location, size, and hours of operation. Appropriate and feasible measures
have been included in the TDM plan to achieve a projected 28% alternative mode usage, as
required. The TDM provides incentives for employees to use modes of transportation other than
single-occupancy vehicle trips, such as secure bicycle storage, shower facilities, preferential
10
parking for carpools and vanpools, and an employee TDM contact, among others. Further,
pedestrian walkways linking the Project to adjacent BART and bus stops will help encourage
alternative forms of transportation.
2. The proposed performance guarantees will ensure that the target 28% alternative
mode use established for the Project by Chapter 20.400 will be achieved and maintained.
Conditions of approval have been included to require that the Final TDM Plan, which must be
submitted for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit, shall outline the
required process for on-going monitoring including annual surveys.

SECTION 1. Findings.
That based on the entirety of the record before it, which includes without limitation, the

are located at the Planning Division for the City of South San Francisco, 315 Maple Avenue,
South San Francisco, CA 94080, and in the custody of Chief Planner, Susy Kalkin.
D. The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan by creating a mixed-use
environment that emphasizes pedestrian-activity with buildings built up to the sidewalk along El
Camino Real and South Spruce Avenue. Further, the Project provides a well-articulated and
visually engaging development that implements the goals of the Grand Boulevard Initiative and
El Camino Real Master Plan and locates parking in a way that is not visually dominant, is
consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines as they relate to building design, form and
articulation and provides commercial uses along both El Camino Real and South Spruce Avenue.
Further, the land uses, development standards, densities and intensities, buildings and structures
proposed are compatible with the goals, policies, and land use designations established in the
General Plan (see Gov’t Code, § 65860), and none of the land uses, development standards,
densities and intensities, buildings and structures will operate to conflict with or impede
achievement of the any of the goals, policies, or land use designations established in the General
Plan.
Specifically, the General Plan includes policies and programs that are designed to
redevelop low-intensity commercial uses to pedestrian-oriented high intensity mixed use
development, encourage concentrated higher-intensity activity on highly visible locations,
promote visually intricate development, and provide space for enhanced pedestrian connections,
require development to be oriented to El Camino Real.
E. The City Council has independently reviewed the proposed Development
28
Agreement, the General Plan, the South San Francisco Municipal Code, and applicable state and
federal law, including Government Code section 65864, et seq., and has determined that the
proposed Development Agreement complies with all applicable zoning, subdivision, and
building regulations and with the General Plan. This finding is based upon all evidence in the
Record as a whole, including, but not limited to: the City Council’s independent review of these
documents, oral and written evidence submitted at the public hearings on the Project, including
advice and recommendations from City staff.
F. The proposed Development Agreement for the Project states its specific duration.
This finding is based upon all evidence in the Record as a whole, including, but not limited to:

determination that Section 2 of the Development Agreement states that the Development
Agreement shall expire ten (10) years from the effective date of this Ordinance.
G. The proposed Development Agreement incorporates the permitted uses, density
and intensity of use for the property subject thereto, as reflected in the proposed Project (P11-
0065), Use Permit (UP11-0006), Design Review (DR11-0019), Transportation Demand
Management Plan (TDM13-0001) and Development Agreement (DA13-0002). This finding is
based upon all evidence in the Record as a whole, including, but not limited to, the City
Council’s independent review of the proposed Development Agreement and its determination
that the Development Agreement sets forth the Project approvals, development standards, and
the documents constituting the Project.

evidence in the Record as a whole, including, but not limited to, the City Council’s independent
review of the proposed Development Agreement and its determination that the Development
Agreement sets forth the documents which state the maximum permitted height and size of
buildings.
I. The proposed Development Agreement states specific provisions for reservation
or dedication of land for public purposes. This finding is based on all evidence in the Record as a
whole, including, but not limited to the City Council’s independent review of the Development
Agreement.

of five stories (up to approximately 70 feet in height with one tower component at 90 feet
in height above Safeway). The proposed commercial component is approximately
222,500 square feet. The proposed residential component comprises a mix of one and two
bedroom units totaling 284 units. A total of 1,392 parking spaces will provide parking
for the retail commercial and residential components of the project. Ground level parking
will provide 580 spaces and a parking structure will provide 812 spaces. The residential
parking ratio is 1.5 spaces per 1-bedroom units and 1.8 spaces per 2-bedroom units while
the commercial parking ratio (retail and office) is four spaces per 1,000 square feet.
Additionally, 128 bicycle parking spaces will be provided throughout the project
areaProject Site.
E. Development of the Project requires that the Developer obtain from the
City the following land use entitlements: Use Permit; Development Agreement; Design
Standard Exceptions; Design Review; Transportation Demand Management Plan. Each

opportunities which are advanced by City and Developer entering into this Agreement.
This Agreement will, among other things, (1) reduce uncertainties in planning and
provide for the orderly development of the Project; (2) provide greatly needed
commercial and residential development along the El Camino Real corridor; (3) mitigate
any significant environmental impacts; (4) provide for and generate substantial revenues
for the City in the form of one time and annual fees and exactions and other fiscal
benefits; and (5) otherwise achieve the goals and purposes for which the Development
Agreement Statute was enacted.

together with the other public benefits that will result from the development of the
Project, Developer will receive by this Agreement assurance that it may proceed with the
Project in accordance with the “Applicable Law” (defined below), and therefore desires

provision of services to, the Project. City shall cooperate with Developer in its
efforts to obtain such permits and approvals and shall, from time to time at the
request of Developer, use its reasonable efforts to assist Developer to ensure the
timely availability of such permits and approvals.
Section 5.6. Residential Property Development
Developer understands that the planned construction of the residential component
of the Project is a substantial inducement to the City to approve this
Development Agreement. In furtherance of achieving that goal, City shall have
the right to promote the residential component of the Project to the residential
development community, including developers, lenders and equity investors with
the goal of identifying qualified investors and residential developers that wish to
negotiate with Developer to obtain the right to build out part or all of the
residential component. Developer agrees to negotiate in good faith with any
qualified residential developer, lender or equity investor that is identified by the
City during such process. Developer shall not be obligated to enter into any
agreement with any such residential developer, lender or equity investor, nor to
defer the commencement of construction of any part of the Project during any
negotiations with any such residential developer, lender or equity investor. The
terms and conditions of any agreement that Developer may determine to enter
into with any such residential developer, lender or equity investor shall be in
Developer’s sole and absolute discretion.

unaware of any pending efforts to initiate, or consider applications for new
or increased fees, exactions, or assessments covering the Project Site, or any
portion thereof.
(b) Future Fees, Taxes and Assessments. City understands that long term
assurances by City concerning fees, taxes and assessments were a material
consideration for Developer agreeing to enter this Agreement and to pay
39
8
long term fees, taxes and assessments described in this Agreement. City
shall retain the ability to initiate or process applications for the formation of
new assessment districts covering all or any portion of the Project Site.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer retains all its rights to oppose the
formation or proposed assessment of any new assessment district or
increased assessment. In the event an assessment district is lawfully formed
to provide funding for services, improvements, maintenance or facilities
which are substantially the same as those services, improvements,
maintenance or facilities being funded by the fees or assessments to be paid
by Developer under the Project Approvals or this Agreement, such fees or
assessments to be paid by Developer shall be subject to reduction/credit in
an amount equal to Developer’s new or increased assessment under the
assessment district. Alternatively, the new assessment district shall
reduce/credit Developer’s new assessment in an amount equal to such fees
or assessments to be paid by Developer under the Project Approvals or this
Agreement.

Camino Real Mixed Use zone district.
Section 6.03. Applicable Law. The rules, regulations, official policies, standards
and specifications applicable to the Project (the “Applicable Law”) shall be those
set forth in this Agreement and the Project Approvals, and, with respect to
matters not addressed by this Agreement or the Project Approvals, those rules,
regulations, official policies, standards and specifications (including City
ordinances and resolutions) governing permitted uses, building locations, timing
40
9
of construction, densities, design, heights, fees, exactions, and taxes in force and
effect on the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Section 6.04. Uniform Codes. City may apply to the Project Site, at any time during
the Term, then current Uniform Building Code and other uniform construction
codes, and City’s then current design and construction standards for road and
storm drain facilities, provided any such uniform code or standard has been
adopted and uniformly applied by City on a citywide basis and provided that no
such code or standard is adopted for the purpose of preventing or otherwise
limiting construction of all or any part of the Project.
Section 6.05. No Conflicting Enactments. Except as authorized in Section 6.09,
City shall not impose on the Project (whether by action of the City Council or by
initiative, referendum or other means) any ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation,
standard, directive, condition or other measure (each individually, a “City Law”)
that is in conflict with Applicable Law or this Agreement or that reduces the
development rights or assurances provided by this Agreement. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, any City Law shall be deemed to conflict with
Applicable Law or this Agreement or reduce the development rights provided
hereby if it would accomplish any of the following results, either by specific
reference to the Project or as part of a general enactment which applies to or
affects the Project:
(a) Change any land use designation or permitted use of the Project Site;
(b) Limit or control the availability of public utilities, services or facilities or
any privileges or rights to public utilities, services, or facilities (for example,
water rights, water connections or sewage capacity rights, sewer
connections, etc.) for the Project;
(c) Limit or control the location of buildings, structures, grading, or other
improvements of the Project in a manner that is inconsistent with or more
restrictive than the limitations included in the Project Approvals or the
Subsequent Approvals (as and when they are issued);
(d) Limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of the approval,
development or construction of all or any part of the Project in any manner;
(e) Apply to the Project any City Law otherwise allowed by this Agreement that
is not uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar
types of development projects and project sites;
(f) Result in Developer having to substantially delay construction of the Project
or require the issuance of additional permits or approvals by the City other
than those required by Applicable Law;
(g) Establish, enact, increase, or impose against the Project or Project Site any
fees, taxes (including without limitation general, special and excise taxes but
41
10
excluding any increased local sales tax or increases city business license
tax), assessments, liens or other monetary obligations (including generating
demolition permit fees, encroachment permit and grading permit fees) other
than those specifically permitted by this Agreement or other connection fees
imposed by third party utilities;
(h) Impose against the Project any condition, dedication or other exaction not
specifically authorized by Applicable Law; or
(i) Limit the processing or procuring of applications and approvals of
Subsequent Approvals.
Section 6.06. Initiatives and Referenda.
(a) If any City Law is enacted or imposed by initiative or referendum, or by the
City Council directly or indirectly in connection with any proposed initiative
or referendum, which City Law would conflict with Applicable Law or this
Agreement or reduce the development rights provided by this Agreement,
such Law shall not apply to the Project.
(b) Except as authorized in Section 6.09, without limiting the generality of any
of the foregoing, no moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to the
rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of development) affecting subdivision
maps, building permits or other entitlements to use that are approved or to be
approved, issued or granted within the City, or portions of the City, shall
apply to the Project.
(c) To the maximum extent permitted by law, City shall prevent any City Law
from invalidating or prevailing over all or any part of this Agreement, and
City shall cooperate with Developer and shall undertake such actions as may
be necessary to ensure this Agreement remains in full force and effect.
(d) Developer reserves the right to challenge in court any City Law that would
conflict with Applicable Law or this Agreement or reduce the development
rights provided by this Agreement.
Section 6.07. Environmental Mitigation. The parties understand that the MND was
intended to be used in connection with each of the Project Approvals and
Subsequent Approvals needed for the Project. Consistent with the CEQA
policies and requirements applicable to the MND, City agrees to use the MND in
connection with the processing of any Subsequent Approval to the maximum
extent allowed by law and not to impose on the Project any mitigation measures
or conditions of approval other than those specifically imposed by the Project
Approvals and the MND/MMRP or specifically required by CEQA or other
Applicable Law.
Section 6.08. Life of Subdivision Maps, Development Approvals, and Permits. The
term of any subdivision map or any other map, permit, rezoning or other land use
42
11
entitlement approved as a Project Approval or Subsequent Approval shall
automatically be extended for the longer of the duration of this Agreement
(including any extensions) or the term otherwise applicable to such Project
Approval or Subsequent Approval if this Agreement is no longer in effect. The
term of this Agreement and any subdivision map or other Project Approval or
Subsequent Approval shall not include any period of time during which a
development moratorium (including, but not limited to, a water or sewer
moratorium or water and sewer moratorium) or the actions of other public
agencies that regulate land use, development or the provision of services to the
land, prevents, prohibits or delays the construction of the Project or a lawsuit
involving any such development approvals or permits is pending.
Section 6.09. State and Federal Law. As provided in California Government Code
§ 65869.5, this Agreement shall not preclude the application to the Project of
changes in laws, regulations, plans or policies, to the extent that such changes are
specifically mandated and required by changes in state or federal laws or
regulations. Not in limitation of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall
preclude City from imposing on Developer any fee specifically mandated and
required by state or federal laws and regulations.
Section 6.10. Prevailing Wage. Developer shall pay, or cause to be paid, prevailing
wages, for all construction work permitted to occur at the Project Site under this
Agreement, including all demolition, excavation and construction but not
including any tenant improvement work. For the purposes of this Agreement,
“prevailing wages” means not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem
wages, as defined in Section 1770, et seq. of the California Labor Code and
Subchapter 3 of Chapter 8, Division 1, Title 8 of the California Code of
Regulations (Section 16000 et seq.), and as established by the Director of the
California Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”). In any case where the
general prevailing rate of per diem wages shall be paid, such rate shall be
adjusted annually in accordance with the established rate in effect as of such
date.
Developer’s compliance with prevailing wage requirements of this section is a
material consideration of City in entering into this Agreement. The Developer
shall, and shall cause the contractor and subcontractors to, keep and retain such
records as are necessary to determine if such prevailing wages have been paid as
required pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq., and that apprentices have
been employed as required by Labor Code Section 1777.5 et seq., and
immediately upon request shall deliver certified payrolls in compliance with
Labor Code Sections 1720 et seq. to the City. Developer agrees to reimburse the
City for its costs related to review of the certified payroll records, and any other
costs incurred ensuring compliance with this section. These costs may include
the utilization of a third party contractor specializing in prevailing wage
compliance.
43
12
Copies of the currently applicable per diem prevailing wages are available from
the DIR. During the construction work, including all demolition, excavation and
construction, the Developer shall or shall cause the contractor to post at the
Project Site the applicable prevailing rates of per diem wages. The Developer's
failure to comply with this section, including but not limited to deliver, or cause
the delivery of, such certified payrolls to the City in accordance with this Section
shall constitute a Default under the Agreement.
Section 6.11. [intentionally omitted]
Section 6.12. Air Space Subdivision. Developer may elect to apply to the City for
one or more air space subdivisions of the Project Site into two or more
residential, commercial and parking parcels, to facilitate the development of the
residential and commercial components of the Project on separate legal parcel
parcels (“Airspace Subdivision”). The City agrees to promptly process such
application or applications, to approve such applications provided that the
application meets the objective standards prescribed by applicable law for the
Airspace Subdivision, and not to impose any additional or increased exactions,
requirements or obligations on the Project as a condition of its approval except as
specifically required by applicable law.
City’s compliance with this section is a material consideration of Developer
entering into this Agreement.
Section 6.13. Section 6.10.Timing and Review of Project Construction and
Completion.
(a) The Project consists of three two phases. Phasing will occur in such a
manner as to always preserve the potential for 284 apartment units on the
site during the term of the Agreement.
(i) Phase 1 construction will begin within 18 months after final approval
by the City of all discretionary approvals of the overall plan, and the
passage of all applicable statutes of limitations without legal challenge
and will include:
• All retail commercial buildings except Building E on the master
plan.
• All subterranean parking under Safeway/Major 2.
• All second Second floor office spaceparking above
Safeway/Major 2.

• The second story of Buildings C and/or D may consist of
exterior walls and roof only, as shown on the plans approved
concurrently herewith.
• Developer must apply for the building permit for the Phase 1
Safeway/Major 2 commercial building, not including CVS
concurrently with the building permit for the 150 Phase 1
residential units; the Safeway/Major 2 commercial building not
including CVS and 150 unit residential building permits will
only be issued concurrently.
• The City shall not be obligated to issue any certificate of
occupancy for the Phase 1 Safeway/Major 2 commercial
building until construction of Phase 1 residential units, defined
as vertical wall framing of the residential units, has commenced.
(ii) Phase 2 will include:
• Building E and at least 141 apartment units.
• All parking structure levels.
• Subterranean parking to replace shopping center surface parking
under Building E unless the subterranean parking was
constructed elsewhere on the Project site as a result of
developing residential units as a part of Phase 1.
• Second floor parking above Building E and the Health Club.
• (iii)Phase 3 will include the remainder Remainder of up to 284
total apartment units above Building E/ Major 2.
(b) Developer may alter the apartment unit mix, apartment layout and size of
units at its discretion. The resulting minor modifications to the exterior of
the buildings will be allowed with only the Chief Planner’s approval.
Provided that any modifications comply with Zoning Ordinance
requirements, that the exterior elevations do not change and the overall
parking requirement is not increased, no further design review or public
hearings will be required for exterior changes so approved.
Section 6.14. No Housing Restrictions on Rental Residential Component. City
acknowledges and agrees that the residential component of the Project is proposed
for, approved as, and will be constructed as market-rate rental housing. City
represents and warrants that no inclusionary housing, occupancy limitation or control,
and no rent control requirement applies to the Project so long as the residential
component is comprised solely of rental housing. City covenants that it will not
45
14
adopt or attempt to apply any such restrictions, requirements or controls to the Project
so long as the residential component is solely comprised of rental housing.
(b) Developer will have the option of modifying the unit mix, size of units, and
sequencing for later phases of the Project in response to changes in market
conditions that may occur from time to time.
ARTICLE 7. AMENDMENT
Section 7.01. To the extent permitted by state and federal law, any Project Approval
or Subsequent Approval may, from time to time, be amended or modified in the
following manner:
(a) Administrative Project Amendments. Upon the written request of Developer
for an amendment or modification to a Project Approval or Subsequent
Approval, the Chief Planner or his/her designee shall determine: (i) whether
the requested amendment or modification is minor when considered in light
of the Project as a whole; and (ii) whether the requested amendment or
modification is consistent with this Agreement and Applicable Law. If the
Chief Planner or his/her designee finds that the proposed amendment or
modification is minor, consistent with this Agreement and Applicable Law,
and will result in no new significant impacts not addressed and mitigated in
the MND, the amendment shall be determined to be an “Administrative
Project Amendment” and the Chief Planner or his designee may, except to
the extent otherwise required by law, approve the Administrative Project
Amendment without notice and public hearing. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, lot line adjustments, minor alterations in vehicle
circulation patterns or vehicle access points, location of parking stalls on the
site, number of required parking stalls if city development standards allow,
substitutions of comparable landscaping for any landscaping shown on any
final development plan or landscape plan, variations in the location of
structures that do not substantially alter the design concepts of the Project,
variations in the residential unit mix (number of one, two or three bedroom
units), location or installation of utilities and other infrastructure connections
or facilities that do not substantially alter the design concepts of the Project,
and minor adjustments to the Project Site diagram or Project Site legal
description shall be treated as Administrative Project Amendments.
(b) Non-Administrative Project Amendments. Any request by Developer for an
amendment or modification to a Project Approval or Subsequent Approval
which is determined not to be an Administrative Project Amendment as set
forth above shall be subject to review, consideration and action pursuant to
the Applicable Law and this Agreement.
Section 7.02. Amendment of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended
from time to time, in whole or in part, by mutual written consent of the parties
hereto or their successors in interest, as follows:
46
15
(a) Administrative Agreement Amendments. Any amendment to this
Agreement which does not substantially affect (i) the Term of this
Agreement, (ii) permitted uses of the Project Site, (iii) provisions for the
reservation or dedication of land, (iv) conditions, terms, restrictions or
requirements for subsequent discretionary actions, (v) the density or
intensity of use of the Project Site or the maximum height or size of
proposed buildings or (vi) monetary contributions by Developer, shall be
considered an “Administrative Agreement Amendment” and shall not,
except to the extent otherwise required by law, require notice or public
hearing before the parties may execute an amendment hereto. Such
amendment may be approved by City resolution.
(b) Any amendment to this Agreement other than an Administrative Agreement
Amendment shall be subject to recommendation by the Planning
Commission (by advisory resolution) and approval by the City Council (by
ordinance) following a duly noticed public hearing before the Planning
Commission and City Council, consistent with Government Code Sections
65867 and 65867.5.
(c) Amendment Exemptions. No amendment of a Project Approval or
Subsequent Approval, or a Subsequent Approval shall require an amendment
to this Agreement. Instead, any such matter automatically shall be deemed
to be incorporated into the Project and vested under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 8. ASSIGNMENT, TRANSFER AND NOTICE
Section 8.01. Assignment and Transfer. Developer may transfer or assign all or any
portion of its interests, rights, or obligations under the Agreement and the Project
approvals to third parties acquiring an interest or estate in the Project or any
portion thereof including, without limitation, purchasers or lessees of lots,
parcels, or facilities. Developer will seek City's prior written consent to any
transfer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. City may
refuse to give consent only if, in light of the proposed transferee's reputation and
financial resources, such transferee would not in City's reasonable opinion be
able to perform the obligations proposed to be assumed by such transferee. Such
determination will be made by the City Manager and will be appealable by
Developer to the City Council
ARTICLE 9. COOPERATION IN THE EVENT OF LEGAL CHALLENGE
Section 9.01. Cooperation.
In the event of any administrative, legal, or equitable action or other proceeding
instituted by any person not a party to the Agreement challenging the validity of
any provision of the Agreement or any Project approval, the parties will
cooperate in defending such action or proceeding. City shall promptly notify
Developer of any such action against City. If City fails promptly to notify
47
16
Developer of any legal action against City or if City fails to cooperate in the
defense, Developer will not thereafter be responsible for City's defense. The
parties will use best efforts to select mutually agreeable legal counsel to defend
such action, and Developer will pay compensation for such legal counsel
(including City Attorney time and overhead for the defense of such action), but
will exclude other City staff overhead costs and normal day-to-day business
expenses incurred by City. Developer's obligation to pay for legal counsel will
extend to fees incurred on appeal. In the event City and Developer are unable to
select mutually agreeable legal counsel to defend such action or proceeding, each
party may select its own legal counsel and Developer will pay its and the City's
legal fees and costs. Developer shall reimburse the City for all reasonable court
costs and attorneys’ fees expended by the City in defense of any such action or
other proceeding or payable to any prevailing plaintiff/petitioner.
Section 9.02. Reapproval.
If, as a result of any administrative, legal, or equitable action or other proceeding,
all or any portion of the Agreement or the Project approvals are set aside or
otherwise made ineffective by any judgment in such action or proceeding
("Judgment"), based on procedural, substantive or other deficiencies
("Deficiencies"), the parties will use their respective best efforts to sustain and
reenact or readopt the Agreement, and/or the Project approvals, that the
Deficiencies related to, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to act
otherwise:
(i) If any Judgment requires reconsideration or consideration by City of
the Agreement or any Project approval, then the City will consider or
reconsider that matter in a manner consistent with the intent of the
Agreement and with Applicable Law. If any such Judgment invalidates or
otherwise makes ineffective all or any portion of the Agreement or Project
approval, then the parties will cooperate and will cure any Deficiencies
identified in the Judgment or upon which the Judgment is based in a
manner consistent with the intent of the Agreement and with Applicable
Law. City will then consider readopting or reenacting the Agreement, or
the Project approval, or any portion thereof, to which the Deficiencies
related.
(ii) Acting in a manner consistent with the intent of the Agreement
includes, but is not limited to, recognizing that the parties intend that
Developer may develop the Project as described in the Agreement, and
adopting such ordinances, resolutions, and other enactments as are
necessary to readopt or reenact all or any portion of the Agreement or
Project approvals without contravening the Judgment.
48
17
ARTICLE 10. DEFAULT; REMEDIES; TERMINATION
Section 10.01. Defaults. Any failure by either party to perform any term or provision
of the Agreement, which failure continues uncured for a period of thirty (30)
days following written notice of such failure from the other party (unless such
period is extended by mutual written consent), will constitute a default under the
Agreement. Any notice given will specify the nature of the alleged failure and,
where appropriate, the manner in which said failure satisfactorily may be cured.
If the nature of the alleged failure is such that it cannot reasonably be cured
within such 30-day period, then the commencement of the cure within such time
period, and the diligent prosecution to completion of the cure thereafter, will be
deemed to be a cure within such 30-day period. Upon the occurrence of a default
under the Agreement, the non-defaulting party may institute legal proceedings to
enforce the terms of the Agreement or, in the event of a material default,
terminate the Agreement. If the default is cured, then no default will exist and the
noticing party shall take no further action.
Section 10.02. Termination. If City elects to consider terminating the Agreement due
to a material default of Developer, then City will give a notice of intent to
terminate the Agreement and the matter will be scheduled for consideration and
review by the City Council at a duly noticed and conducted public hearing.
Developer will have the right to offer written and oral evidence prior to or at the
time of said public hearings. If the City Council determines that a material
default has occurred and is continuing, and elects to terminate the Agreement,
City will give written notice of termination of the Agreement to Developer by
certified mail and the Agreement will thereby be terminated sixty (60) days
thereafter.
At any time prior to: 1) transfer of any interest in the Property including any
security interest; 2) approval of any subdivision of the Property; or 3)
commencement of construction of Phase 1, Developer may relinquish all of its
rights under the Agreement and the Project Approvals by a) providing written
notice to the City to that effect, and b) executing and delivering such further
documents as may be necessary to effectuate fully and finally the termination of
the Agreement and the Project Approvals including an application or applications
for the revocation of any such Project Approvals by the City, which
application(s) the City will not unreasonably deny, and c) waiving all claims
against the City for any damage to the Developer or any successor in interest to
the Developer resulting from City actions taken to approve the revocation of the
Project Approvals, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the City
Manager and the City Attorney. Upon delivery of such notice, and execution and
delivery of such further documents, the Agreement and the Project Approvals
will terminate and neither Party will have any rights or obligations with respect
to the other Party under this Agreement or the Project Approvals although
Developer’s waiver of all claims against the City shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
49
18
Section 10.03. Enforced Delay; Extension of Time of Performance. In addition to
specific provisions of the Agreement, neither party will be deemed to be in
default where delays in performance or failures to perform are due to, and a
necessary outcome of, war, insurrection, strikes or other labor disturbances,
walk- , outs, riots, floods, earthquakes, fires, casualties, acts of God, restrictions
imposed or mandated by other governmental entities (including new or
supplemental environmental regulations), enactment of conflicting state or
federal laws or regulations, judicial decisions, or similar basis for excused
performance which is not within the reasonable control of the party to be
excused. Litigation attacking the validity of the Agreement or any of the Project
approvals, or any permit, ordinance, entitlement or other action of a
governmental agency other than City necessary for the development of the
Project pursuant to the Agreement will be deemed to create an excusable delay as
to Developer. Upon the request of either party hereto, an extension of time for
the performance of any obligation whose performance has been so prevented or
delayed will be memorialized in writing. The term of any such extension will be
equal to the period of the excusable delay, or longer, as may be mutually agreed
upon.
Section 10.04. Legal Action. Either party may institute legal action to cure, correct, or
remedy any default, enforce any covenant or agreement in the Agreement, enjoin
any threatened or attempted violation thereof, and enforce by specific
performance the obligations and rights of the parties thereto. The sole and
exclusive remedy for any default or violation of the Agreement will be specific
performance. In any proceeding brought to enforce the Agreement, the prevailing
party will be entitled to recover from the unsuccessful party all costs, expenses
and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the prevailing party in the enforcement
proceeding.
Section 10.05. Periodic Review.
(a) Conducting the Periodic Review. Throughout the Term of this Agreement,
at least once every twelve (12) months following the execution of this
Agreement, City shall review the extent of good-faith compliance by
Developer with the terms of this Agreement. This review (the “Periodic
Review”) shall be conducted by the Chief Planner or his/her designee and
shall be limited in scope to compliance with the terms of this Agreement
pursuant to California Government Code Section 65865.1.
(b) Notice. At least five (5) days prior to the Periodic Review, and in the
manner prescribed in Section 11.09 of this Agreement, City shall deposit in
the mail to Developer a copy of any staff reports and documents to be used
or relied upon in conducting the review and, to the extent practical, related
exhibits concerning Developer’s performance hereunder. Developer shall be
permitted an opportunity to respond to City’s evaluation of Developer’s
performance, either orally at a public hearing or in a written statement, at
Developer’s election. Such response shall be made to the Chief Planner.
50
19
(c) Good Faith Compliance. During the Periodic Review, the Chief Planner
shall review Developer’s good-faith compliance with the terms of this
Agreement. At the conclusion of the Periodic Review, the Chief Planner
shall make written findings and determinations, on the basis of substantial
evidence, as to whether or not Developer has complied in good faith with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. The decision of the Chief Planner
shall be appealable to the City Council. If the Chief Planner finds and
determines that Developer has not complied with such terms and conditions,
the Chief Planner may recommend to the City Council that it terminate or
modify this Agreement by giving notice of its intention to do so, in the
manner set forth in California Government Code Sections 65867 and 65868.
The costs incurred by City in connection with the Periodic Review process
described herein shall be borne by Developer.
(d) Failure to Properly Conduct Periodic Review. If City fails, during any
calendar year, to either (i) conduct the Periodic Review or (ii) notify
Developer in writing of City’s determination, pursuant to a Periodic Review,
as to Developer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement and such
failure remains uncured as of December 31 of any year during the term of
this Agreement, such failure shall be conclusively deemed an approval by
City of Developer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Written Notice of Compliance. With respect to any year for which
Developer has been determined or deemed to have complied with this
Agreement, City shall, within thirty (30) days following request by
Developer, provide Developer with a written notice of compliance, in
recordable form, duly executed and acknowledged by City. Developer shall
have the right, in Developer’s sole discretion, to record such notice of
compliance.
Section 10.06. Default by City or Developer. In the event City or Developer defaults
under the terms of this Agreement, City or Developer shall have all rights and
remedies provided herein or under law. Either party may, in addition to any
other rights or remedies, institute legal action to cure, correct, or remedy any
default, enforce any covenant or agreement herein, enjoin any threatened or
attempted violation thereof, recover damages for any default, enforce by specific
performance the obligations and rights of the parties hereto, or to obtain any
remedies consistent with the purpose of this Agreement.
Section 10.07. California Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any action to enforce or
interpret this Agreement shall be filed and heard in the Superior Court of San
Mateo County, California.
Section 10.08. Resolution of Disputes. With regard to any dispute involving
development of the Project, the resolution of which is not provided for by this
Agreement or Applicable Law, Developer shall, at City’s request, meet with
51
20
City. The parties to any such meetings shall attempt in good faith to resolve any
such disputes. Nothing in this Section 10.07 shall in any way be interpreted as
requiring that Developer and City and/or City’s designee reach agreement with
regard to those matters being addressed, nor shall the outcome of these meetings
be binding in any way on City or Developer unless expressly agreed to by the
parties to such meetings.
Section 10.09. Attorneys’ Fees. In any legal action or other proceeding brought by
either party to enforce or interpret a provision of this Agreement, the prevailing
party is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other costs incurred in that
proceeding in addition to any other relief to which it is entitled.
Section 10.10. Hold Harmless. Developer shall hold City and its elected and
appointed officers, agents, employees, and representatives harmless from claims,
costs, and liabilities for any personal injury, death, or property damage which is a
result of, or alleged to be the result of, the construction of the Project, or of
operations performed under this Agreement by Developer or by Developer’s
contractors, subcontractors, agents or employees, whether such operations were
performed by Developer or any of Developer’s contractors, subcontractors,
agents or employees. Nothing in this section shall be construed to mean that
Developer shall hold City harmless from any claims of personal injury, death or
property damage arising from, or alleged to arise from, any gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of City, its elected and appointed representatives,
offices, agents and employees.

between the parties hereto that: (i) the subject development is a private
development; (ii) City has no interest or responsibilities for, or duty to, third
parties concerning any improvements until such time, and only until such time,
that City accepts the same pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or in
connection with the various Project Approvals or Subsequent Approvals;
(iii) Developer shall have full power over and exclusive control of the Project
herein described, subject only to the limitations and obligations of Developer
under this Agreement, the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals, and

Developer and agree that nothing contained herein or in any document executed
in connection herewith shall be construed as creating any such relationship
between City and Developer.
52
21
Section 11.03. Enforceability. City and Developer agree that unless this Agreement
is amended or terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall be enforceable by any party hereto notwithstanding any change
hereafter enacted or adopted (whether by ordinance, resolution, initiative, or any
other means) in any applicable general plan, specific plan, zoning ordinance,
subdivision ordinance, or any other land use ordinance or building ordinance,
resolution or other rule, regulation or policy adopted by City that changes, alters
or amends the rules, regulations and policies applicable to the development of the
Project Site at the time of the approval of this Agreement as provided by
California Government Code Section 65866.
Section 11.04. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the
application of any term or provision of this Agreement to a particular situation, is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement, or the application of this
Agreement to other situations, shall continue in full force and effect unless
amended or modified by mutual consent of the parties. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any material provision of this Agreement, or the application of such
provision to a particular situation, is held to be invalid, void or unenforceable,
either City or Developer may (in their sole and absolute discretion) terminate this
Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to the other party.
Section 11.05. Other Necessary Acts. Each party shall execute and deliver to the
other all such other further instruments and documents as may be reasonably
necessary to carry out the Project Approvals, Subsequent Approvals and this
Agreement and to provide and secure to the other party the full and complete
enjoyment of its rights and privileges hereunder.
Section 11.06. Construction. Each reference in this Agreement to this Agreement or

CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION DENYING A USE PERMIT, DESIGN
REVIEW, TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT
PLAN, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A 14.5 ACRE SITE
FOR THE CENTENNIAL VILLAGE AT 180 EL CAMINO
REAL PROJECT IN THE EL CAMINO REAL MIXED USE
ZONING DISTRICT
WHEREAS, El Camino and Spruce LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
(“Applicant”), submitted an application for a mixed-use project on an approximately 14.5 acre site
located at 180 El Camino Real, which consists of approximately 220,000 square feet of
commercial/retail space and 284 residential rental units (“Project”); and,
WHEREAS, Applicant seeks approval of a Use Permit, Design Review, Transportation
Demand Management Plan, and Development Agreement; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) , 14 California
Code of Regulations §15270, CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or
disapproves; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on September 11, 2013
which was continued to September 25, 2013, to October 23, 2013, and to November 13, 2013, and
another duly noticed public hearing on February 12, 2014, which was continued to February 26,
2014 and to March 12, 2014, to consider the IS/MND, the Use Permit, Design Review,
Transportation Demand Management Plan, and Development Agreement and take public
testimony; and,
WHEREAS, the application reviewed by the City Council did not guarantee that the full
residential component would be constructed; and,
WHEREAS, the Applicant has still not committed to construct the entire residential
component of the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based on the entirety of the record before
it, which includes without limitation, the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources
Code §21000, et seq. (“CEQA”) and the CEQA Guidelines, 14 California Code of Regulations
§15000, et seq.; the South San Francisco General Plan, General Plan EIR and South El Camino
Real General Plan Amendment EIR; the South San Francisco Municipal Code; the Project
applications; the Centennial Village Project Plans, as prepared by Johnson Lyman Architects,

dated August 1, 2013; the Preliminary Transportation Demand Management Plan, as prepared by
TJKM Transportation Consultants, dated July 9, 2013; the 180 El Camino Real IS/MND,
including the Draft and Final MND and all appendices thereto; all site plans, and all reports,
minutes, and public testimony submitted as part of the Planning Commission’s meeting held on
August 15, 2013, and Planning Commission deliberations; all reports, minutes, and public
testimony submitted as part of the City Council’s duly noticed public hearing on September 11,
2013 which was continued to September 25, 2013 and to October 23, 2013 and to November 13,
2013, and duly noticed public hearing on February 12, 2014, which was continued to February 26,
2014 and to March 12, 2014, and City Council deliberations; and any other evidence (within the
meaning of Public Resources Code §21080(e) and §21082.2), the City Council of the City of
South San Francisco hereby finds as follows:
A. General Findings
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Resolution.
2. The documents and other material constituting the record for these proceedings are
located at the Planning Division for the City of South San Francisco, 315 Maple Avenue, South
San Francisco, CA 94080, and in the custody of Chief Planner, Susy Kalkin.
B. Use Permit/Design Review
1. The City’s General Plan Land Use Designation for the site is El Camino Real
Mixed Use (“ECRMX”), which allows for high-intensity active uses and mixed-use developments.
2. The Applicant has not provided the City with any guarantee that the entire
residential component of the Project will ever be built. Therefore, because there is no guarantee
that the entire residential component of the Project will be constructed, the Project is inconsistent
with the City’s General Plan and the El Camino Real Sub-Area Plan for the following reasons:
i. The General Plan Planning Sub-Areas Element (Chapter 3) identifies the
subject site as within the El Camino Sub-Area. Planning Sub-Area Element Policy 3.4-G-5
[Encourage the implementation of the Guiding Principles of the Grand Boulevard Initiative as
adopted by the Grand Boulevard Task Force in April of 2007] and Policy 3.4-G-6 [Develop the
South El Camino area as a vibrant corridor with a variety of residential and non-residential uses
to foster a walkable and pedestrian-scaled environment] target housing and job growth along the
El Camino Real corridor, building compact high-quality mixed-use development, and
strengthening pedestrian and bicycle connections within the corridor. Because there is no
commitment that the entire residential component will be constructed, the proposed Project is not
targeting housing along the El Camino Real corridor, is not implementing the goals of the Grand
Boulevard Initiative Guiding Principles by creating a high-density mixed-use development in a
63
strategic area of El Camino that promotes walking and transit and an improved quality of life, and
is therefore not consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element.
ii. The General Plan Housing Element (Chapter 10) identifies the subject site
as a near-term housing opportunity site with an ability to accommodate up to 295 residential units.
Consistent with Housing Element Policy 1-1 [The City shall implement zoning to ensure there is
an adequate supply of land to meet its 2007 to 2014 ABAG Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA) of 373 very low income units, 268 low income units, 315 moderate income units, and 679
above moderate units], the City adopted the South El Camino Real General Plan Amendment,
Zoning and Design Guidelines in 2010, which up-zoned the proposed Project site to allow for high
density (multi-family) residential development. Housing Element Policy 1-9 [The City shall
maximize opportunities for residential development, through infill and redevelopment of
underutilized sites, without impacting existing neighborhoods or creating conflicts with industrial
operations] and Program 1-9A [Through the Zoning Ordinance update, South El Camino Real
General Plan update, the El Camino Real / Chestnut Specific Plan, the City will identify
opportunities for residential development through infill and redevelopment of underutilized sites]
further confirmed the importance of facilitating regulations that allow residential development on
El Camino Real. The proposed Project is not consistent with the Housing Element because there
are no feasible assurances that the entire residential component will be completed.
iii. The General Plan Transportation Element (Chapter 4) includes Policy 4.2-
G-6 [Make efficient use of existing transportation facilities and, through the arrangement of land
uses, improved alternate modes, and enhanced integration of various transportation systems
serving South San Francisco, strive to reduce the total vehicle-miles traveled] and Policy 4.2-G-9
[Accept LOS E or F after finding that: There is no practical and feasible way to mitigate the lower
level of service; and the uses resulting in the lower level of service are of clear, overall public
benefit]. Because there are no credible assurances that the entire residential component will be
completed, the proposed Project will not create a mixed-use project that serves to reduce vehicle
miles traveled and is not providing a clear, overall public benefit to allow the lower level of
service. Therefore the proposed Project is not consistent with the General Plan Transportation
Element.
iv. The General Plan Open Space and Conservation Element (Chapter 7)
includes Policy 7.3-G-2 [Encourage land use and transportation strategies that promote use of
alternatives to the automobile for transportation, including bicycling, bus transit, and carpooling].
Because there are no credible assurances that the entire residential component will be completed,
the proposed Project will not create a higher-density mixed-use development in close proximity to
adjacent alternative transportation routes including BART, SamTrans and Centennial Way Linear
Park to provide opportunities for alternative modes of transportation. Therefore the proposed
Project is not consistent with the General Plan Open Space and Conservation Element.
64
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
South San Francisco hereby makes the findings contained in this Resolution and denies Use
Permit (UP11-0006), Design Review (DR11-0019) and Transportation Demand Management Plan
(TDM13-0001) for the Project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall become effective immediately
upon its passage and adoption.

I hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was adopted by the City Council of the City of South
San Francisco at the regular meeting held on the 12th day of March, 2014 by the following vote:

Subject: 180 El Camino Real - Mixed Use Development
Date: September 11, 2013
Page 2 of 6
Existing Site
The Project site is a 14.5 acre lot with frontages on El Camino Real and South Spruce Ave. The
existing shopping center on the site was constructed in 1965, and currently includes Safeway,
Bally’s Total Fitness, CVS, and Bedroom Express. Firestone Tire & Auto Center is located in a
smaller building at the northwest corner of the site, close to the intersection of El Camino Real
and South Spruce Ave.
The site is bordered by commercial uses to the south, Brentwood Shopping Center and single-
family residential to the west across El Camino Real, See’s Candies and single-family residential
to the north across South Spruce Ave, and office and other general commercial uses to the east
across Huntington Ave. The subject site does not extend all the way to Huntington Avenue –
there is a surface parking lot, a professional office building and a Salvation Army facility
abutting the eastern edge of the property.
The City has in recent years updated General Plan policies and Zoning Ordinance standards
related to the El Camino Real corridor in an effort to “develop the South El Camino area as a
vibrant corridor with a variety of residential and non-residential uses to foster a walkable and
pedestrian-scaled environment” (General Plan Guiding Policy 3.4-G-7), and has been working
with the applicant to develop a plan to achieve this objective on the site.
Proposed Project
The proposed project consists of the demolition of the existing 145,000 square foot shopping
center and replacing it with a mixed-use shopping center containing approximately 220,000
square feet of commercial area, with 284 residential units on upper floors, on this prominent 14.5
acre site.
El Camino Real and South Spruce Avenue would be fronted by a series of two-story buildings
(Buildings A, B, C, D and Major Tenant 3 - CVS) providing a total of 42,400 square feet for
retail uses on the ground floor and 35,300 square feet for office uses on the second floor. These
buildings would serve to create a more pedestrian-friendly environment at the street edge,
increase the amount of commercial activity on the site, and obscure views of the interior parking
lot.
The interior of the site would include an L-shaped five story mixed-use building, with
commercial uses on the ground floor, parking on the second level, and 284 residential units on
the third, fourth and fifth floors. The residential component of the project would consist of a
mixture of one- and two-bedroom apartment units with associated amenities, including open
courtyards. The ground floor tenant spaces would include a 58,000-square-foot Safeway, a
30,000-square-foot Commercial/Retail use (Major Tenant 2), a 36,000-square-foot Health Club
use, and 21,000 square feet of smaller commercial tenant spaces (Building E).
The development could be constructed in up to three phases; following is a breakdown of each
specific phase:
Phase 1
- Construction of ground level retail for Major Tenants 1 (Safeway), 2 (to be determined), the
health club, and both levels of Buildings A, B, C and D and Major Tenant 3 (CVS).

- Construction of all surface parking and landscaping improvements.
- Construction of 184 parking stalls above Safeway and Major Tenant 2.
Phase 2
- Construction of all structured parking and Building E (including basement level parking).
- Construction of parking level above Building E and Health Club building.
- Construction of a minimum of 141 residential units above the Health Club and Building E.
Phase 3
- Construction of the remaining residential units (up to a total 284 units) above Safeway and
Major Tenant 2.
ZONING CONSISTENCY
Upon full build-out, the proposed project will entail a mixed-use development that fulfills all of
the purpose statements, standards and regulations of the El Camino Real Mixed Use (“ECRMX”)
Zone District, subject to approval of specific exceptions for which the Planning Commission
recommended approval. These exceptions are related to “Supplemental Regulations” within the
ECRMX District, and the approval body is allowed to grant exceptions for specific standards
upon determining that the underlying intent of the ECRMX district is still being met.
A more detailed review of the City’s development standards and requirements is contained in the
attached Planning Commission staff report.
PRELIMINARY TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN
In accordance with the Transportation Demand Management (“TDM”) Ordinance, a preliminary
TDM plan is included as part of the project to achieve a minimum 28% alternative mode use,
applicable to all nonresidential development expected to generate 100 or more average daily
trips. In general, the preliminary TDM plan provides for the requisite mode shift goal, and
includes all of the required trip reduction measures, including carpool and vanpool ridematching
services, designated employer contact, guaranteed ride home program, and showers and clothes
locker facilities. A copy of the preliminary TDM plan is attached.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The General Plan Land Use Designation for the site is El Camino Real Mixed Use (“ECRMX”).
The ECRMX land use designation allows for high-intensity active uses and mixed-use
developments. The frontage of the site along El Camino Real and other arterial/collector streets
are required to be devoted to active uses. Upon full build-out of the project, the development
will conform to the General Plan Land Use Policies by creating a mixed-use environment within
the required FAR parameters that emphasizes pedestrian-activity with buildings built up to the
sidewalk along El Camino Real and South Spruce Ave, provides a well-articulated and visually
engaging development that implements the goals of the Grand Boulevard Initiative and locates
parking in a way that is not visually dominant.

Additionally, the Housing Element identifies the subject site as a near-term housing opportunity
site. Assuming a density of 60 dwelling units per acre for a third of the site, consistent with
densities allowed within the South El Camino Real corridor, the site was identified as being able
to accommodate up to 295 units.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
The applicant and the City have negotiated a Development Agreement (“DA”) to clarify and
obligate Project features and mitigation measures. The applicant has stated that currently the
economics of the project do not justify the development of apartments, as the total rental income
versus total costs of development are not sufficient to justify the risks associated with the
development at this time. Therefore, the primary feature of the DA is the phasing of the
residential units. Upon the tenth anniversary of the execution of the agreement, the applicant
will be required to perform a calculation of Economic Feasibility; if the performance triggers are
met, the applicant would be required to construct Phase 2 within 12 months. Other Development
Agreement items include:
The term of the Agreement would be twenty (20) years.
Payment of applicable fees, including Public Safety Impact Fee and Child Care Impact
Fee, including annual escalators.
Timing of Project Construction and Completion.
o Phase 1 construction will begin within 18 months of final project entitlement
approval.
o If the 284 apartment units have not been constructed within 10 years of the
approval of the DA, then three triggers are identified to determine if the
residential units are “Economically Feasible”. The triggers were developed
jointly by the project applicant, City staff and the City’s economic consultants. If
all three triggers are met, the developer shall either commence construction or
arrange with another Developer to commence construction of Phase 2 within 12
months.
o Upon the completion of Phase 2, if the same “Economically Feasible” triggers are
met the developer shall either commence construction or arrange with another
Developer to commence construction of Phase 3 within 12 months.
The proposed Development Agreement is attached to the draft Ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City adopted the South El Camino Real General Plan Amendment (“South ECR GPA”) on
March 24, 2010. The South El Camino Real General Plan Amendment EIR was prepared as a
Program EIR, pursuant to Section 15168 of the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”), and this document was certified by the City Council following public review and
comment.

Consistent with the CEQA tiering principles and procedures, an Initial Study/ Mitigated
Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”) was prepared to determine whether the project could have any
significant impacts that had not been adequately addressed in the South ECR GPA EIR. The
IS/MND identifies significant impacts that would be reduced to less than significant impacts
through various mitigation measures, which are discussed in the document.
The IS/MND was distributed to the State Clearinghouse and circulated for a 30-day public
review on April 12, 2013. A total of six comment letters were received from commenting
agencies: San Mateo County Health System (dated April 29, 2013); San Francisco International
Airport (dated May 3, 2013); County of San Mateo Department of Public Works (dated May 8,
2013); C/CAG staff (dated May 13, 2013); the California Department of Transportation (dated
May 14, 2013); and the City of San Bruno (dated May 21, 2013). None of the comment letters
raised significant environmental issues.
A copy of the “Initial Study and Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration” and the “Final
Mitigated Negative Declaration”, which includes the comment letters and the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program, are attached to the CEQA Resolution.
REVIEW BY OTHER AGENCIES
The project site is located within Airport Influence Area B as defined in the Airport Land Use
Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”) for San Francisco International Airport (“SFO”). Projects
located within this influence area are subject to the ALUCP policies related to noise
compatibility, safety compatibility, and airspace protection.
When the current ALUCP was adopted by the City/County Association of Governments of San
Mateo County (C/CAG) in November 2012, the SFO noise contours were updated. Under the
previous 1996 Comprehensive Land Use Plan (“CLUP”), the project site was located within the
CNEL 65 to 70 dB noise contour, which allows multi-family residential units subject to adequate
sound insulation and grant of avigation easement. The 2012 ALUCP updated noise contours
located the project site within the CNEL 70 to 75 dB noise contour, which would not allow new
residential development.
ALUCP General Policy GP-5.3 grants an exception to noise consistency evaluations for
development actions in the review process before the effective date of the current ALUCP,
provided that the proposed development complies with all other requirements of the current
ALUCP. In SFO’s comment letter related to the IS/MND, they verify that the project application
was deemed complete before the adoption of the ALUCP, and therefore is to be evaluated under
the 1996 CLUP. However, any future proposal (not included in the proposed development
application) to construct additional dwelling, subdivide land, or create condominiums for
residential use within the CNEL 70-75 dB contour would be considered incompatible with the
ALUCP.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
At the Planning Commission meeting of August 15, 2013, the Commission reviewed the

negative declaration only if it finds on the whole of the record before it that there is no substantial
evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that a negative
declaration or mitigated negative declaration reflects the Lead Agency’s independent judgment
and analysis.
C. When adopting a negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration, the Lead Agency shall
specify the location and custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record
of proceedings upon which its decision is based.
D. When adopting a negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration, the Lead Agency shall
also adopt a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in
the Project or made a condition of approval to avoid or mitigate significant environmental
impacts.

1.3 2010 South El Camino Real General Plan Amendment
and EIR
The City of South San Francisco last prepared a comprehensive General Plan update in 1999. At that time,
the City also prepared and certified a Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan.
On March 24, 2010, the City adopted the South El Camino Real General Plan Amendment (South ECR
GPA), which amended the General Plan to allow mixed-use development along the South El Camino Real
Corridor. The Amendment added the El Camino Real Mixed Use designation to the General Plan, with
which the project site is currently designated. Zoning Ordinance amendments were also adopted at the
same time. A full program-level EIR was prepared on these amendments, and was certified by the City
Council following public review and comment on the Revised Draft EIR. The South El Camino Real
General Plan Amendment EIR (South ECR GPA EIR) was prepared as a Program EIR, pursuant to
Section 15168 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines).
To make environmental review as efficient as possible, CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines establish policies
and procedures for relying on previously certified EIRs, and focusing the environmental analysis of
subsequent projects. This process, known as “tiering” allows for:
“the coverage of general matters and environmental effects in an environmental impact report prepared
for a policy, plan, program, or ordinance followed by narrower or site-specific environmental impact
reports which incorporate by reference the discussion in any prior environmental impact report and
which concentrate on the environmental effects which (a) are capable of being mitigated, or (b) were not
analyzed as significant effects on the environment in the prior environmental impact report.” (Pub.
Resources Code, § 21068.5.)
CEQA also allows a lead agency to tier a negative declaration from a previously prepared EIR. (CEQA
Guidelines, § 15152.) Specific provisions in CEQA also provide for tiering from an EIR prepared for a
General Plan. (Pub. Resources Code, § 21083.3, CEQA Guidelines, § 15183.)
Consistent with the CEQA tiering principles and procedures, in evaluating the potential environmental
effects of this Project, an initial study was prepared to determine whether the Project could have any
significant impacts that had not been adequately addressed in the South ECR GPA EIR.
The initial study that follows includes analysis of potential Project related impacts. The initial study and
the accompanying analyses demonstrates that there is no substantial evidence that the Project may have
significant impacts that have not been adequately addressed in either the General Plan EIR or the South
ECR GPA EIR, or that cannot be avoided through compliance with federal, State and local policies.
Therefore, a mitigated negative declaration is proposed for the Project.
Table 1.1 summarizes environmental factors potentially affected and mitigation measures that reduce the
impact to a less than significant level:

1.4 City of South San Francisco Standard Conditions of
Project Approval
The following Conditions of Project Approval (COAs) are required through the City of South San
Francisco standard project review and approval procedures. Each of the following requirements will be
imposed upon and incorporated into the Project, as conditions of approval and/or conditions of a
building permit. Implementation of these COAs will help ensure that potential impacts associated with
the Project remain less than significant.
AIR QUALITY
Dust Control. All construction projects are required to comply with the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District’s (BAAQMD) dust control measures including Basic Fugitive Dust Emissions
Reduction Measures, Basic Exhaust Emissions Reduction Measures and some of the Additional Fugitive
Dust Emissions Reduction Measures identified by the BAAQMD May 2011. These measures are levied by
the Engineering Division as a condition of building permit issuance and are monitored for compliance by
City inspectors. The measures include:
Water all active construction sites at least twice daily.
Cover all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials or require all trucks to maintain at
least two feet of freeboard.
Pave, apply water three times daily, or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers on all unpaved access
roads, parking areas, and staging areas at construction sites.
Sweep daily (with water sweepers) all paved access roads, parking areas and staging areas at
construction sites.
Sweep streets daily (with water sweepers) if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent public
streets.
Hydroseed or apply (non-toxic) soil stabilizers to inactive construction areas (previously graded
areas inactive for ten days or more).
Enclose, cover, water twice daily, or apply non-toxic soil binders to exposed stockpiled materials.
Install sandbags or other erosion-control measures to prevent silt runoff to public roadways.
Replant vegetation in disturbed areas as quickly as possible.
Watering should be used to control dust generation during the break-up of pavement.
Cover all trucks hauling demolition debris from the site.
Use dust-proof chutes to load debris into trucks whenever feasible.
Water or cover stockpiles of debris, soil, sand or other materials that can be blown by the wind.

1-9
Diesel powered equipment shall be maintained in good working condition, with manufacturer-
recommended mufflers, filters, and other equipment.
Diesel powered equipment shall not be left inactive and idling for more than ten minutes, and
shall comply with applicable BAAQMD rules.
Use alternative fueled construction equipment, if possible.
All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.
All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as possible.
Building pads shall be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the
maximum idling time to five (5) minutes (as required by the California airborne toxics control
measure Title 13, Section 2484 of the California Code of regulations). Clear signage shall be
provided for construction workers at all access points.
Post a visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the Lead Agency regarding
dust complaints. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 24 hours. The Air
District phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.
Toxic Air Contaminants. The potential for toxic air contaminants (asbestos and lead based paint) to be
released into the environment is regulated and monitored through the Building Division. Any applicant
requesting a building or demolition permit involving a structure suspected of containing asbestos (defined
as a building constructed prior to 1978) and/or lead based paint (defined as a building constructed prior
to 1960) is required to obtain a J Permit from the BAAQMD. The J Permit is required to be posted on the
job site and if it is not there the job will be fined by the BAAQMD and may be shut down by the City’s
Building Division. Through this process, the BAAQMD and the City Building Division ensure that
asbestos and lead based paints are handled, removed, encapsulated and disposed of in accordance with
prevailing law requisite to protect the environment, the people conducting the work and nearby sensitive
receptors. The process typically requires surveys and removal of lead based paints and asbestos by licensed
contractors certified in the handling methods requisite to protect the environment and public health and
safety. The process also provides for BAAQMD and City supervision to ensure compliance.
Vehicle Emissions. The potential for air quality degradation from vehicle emissions is regulated to some
extent by Section 20.400.003 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code. Table 20.400.003 in the Zoning
Ordinance establishes specific program requirements for a project generating one hundred or more
vehicle non-residential trips per day or a project seeking a floor area ratio (FAR) bonus. The required
alternative mode use for all projects is twenty-eight percent below standard non-residential trip rates
modeled for the project without Traffic Demand Management (TDM) measures and incremental increase
in reduction. Projects with increased FAR are required to increase their alternative mode use accordingly.
The Planning Division implements and monitors this requirement.
GEOLOGY AND SOILS
Table 18-1-B Uniform Building Code. All construction projects are required to comply with the
Uniform Building Code. Projects located on soils identified in Volume 2 Table 18-1-B of the Uniform
Building Code are required to comply with the construction specifications to mitigate potential impacts
due to liquefaction. This requirement is enforced and monitored by the Engineering Division.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-10
Compliance with the Uniform Building Code is also implemented and monitored by the Building
Division.
Geotechnical Reports. The City Engineering Division also requires geotechnical reports as a part of the
permit package for projects to be constructed on vacant land, demolition and rebuilding and additions to
buildings that require grading and additional loading. The geotechnical reports are required to be
prepared by a licensed geologist, geotechnical engineer or engineering geologist. The reports address
design and construction specifications for the project including grading, site drainage, utility and
infrastructure design specifications and placement and building design. The reports are peer reviewed by
the City’s geotechnical consultant and are modified as recommended by the City’s consultant.
Geotechnical approval is required prior to issuance of a building permit. The geotechnical professional of
record is required to sign all project drawings and the City’s geotechnical consultant provides
construction inspections, oversight and monitoring for the City. The Engineering Division implements
and monitors this requirement.
HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY
Stormwater Runoff Prevention (Operational). All Projects are required to comply with the San Mateo
Countywide Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (STOPPP), an organization of the City/County
Association of Governments (C/CAG) of San Mateo County holding a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Discharge permit. The City requires the implementation of
Best Management Practices (BMP’s) for new development and construction as part of its storm water
management program, as levied through standard City COA’s. The requirements are implemented and
monitored by the Public Works Department.
The measures address pollution control and management mechanisms for contractor activities, e.g.
structure construction, material delivery and storage, solid waste management, employee and
subcontractor training. Stormwater pollution prevention measures also affect site development and
operations in order to prevent pollution due to project occupancy. Typical storm water quality protection
measures include:
Walking and light traffic areas shall use permeable pavements where feasible. Typical pervious
pavements include pervious concrete, porous asphalt, turf block, brick pavers, natural stone
pavers, concrete unit pavers, crushed aggregate (gravel), cobbles and wood mulch.
Parking lots shall include hybrid surfaces (pervious material for stalls only), concave medians
with biofilters (grassy swales), and landscaped infiltration/detention basins as feasible.
Landscape design shall incorporate biofilters, infiltration and retention/detention basins into the
site plan as feasible.
Outdoor work areas including garbage, recycling, maintenance, storage, and loading, applicable
storm water controls include siting or set back from drainage paths and water ways, provision of
roofing and curbs or berms to prevent run on and run off. If the area has the potential to generate
contaminated run off, structural treatment controls for contaminant removal (such as debris
screens or filters) shall be incorporated into the design.
Roof leaders and site drainage shall be filtered and directed to the City storm drain system.
180 El Camino Real– Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration
1-11
Drainage from paved surfaces shall be filtered through vegetated swales, buffer or sand strips
before discharge to the City’s storm drain system.
Stormwater Runoff Prevention (Construction). The City of South San Francisco requires through
COAs, project compliance with the State Water Quality Control Board’s general permitting requirements
which requires the applicant to secure a Construction Activities Storm Water General Permit, complete a
Notice of Intent (NOI) and prepare and obtain approval of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP). The state issues a Waste Discharge Identification number within 10 days of receipt of a
complete NOI and SWPPP. The applicant is then required to submit copies of the NOI and SWPPP to the
City of South San Francisco’s Technical Services Supervisor within the Water Quality Control Plant the
Public Works Department prior to issuance of building and/or grading permits. The requirements are
implemented and monitored by Water Quality Control personnel. Typical construction stormwater
protection measures include:
Identify all storm drains, drainage swales and creeks located near construction sites and prevent
pollutants from entering them by the use of filter fabric cloth, rock bags, straw wattles, slope
hydroseeding, cleaning up leaks, drips or spills immediately, use dry cleanup methods to clean up
spills, use of berms, temporary ditches and check dams to reduce the velocity of surface flow.
Place rock bags at all drain inlets to filter silt and along curb and gutter to filter water before the
drain inlets.
Place straw wattles and hydroseed the sloped areas.
Place straw matting at the temporary sloped areas for erosion control.
Place drain systems to filter and then drain into drain inlets.
Use silt fencing with straw mats and hand broadcast seed for erosion control.
Construct temporary drainage systems to filter and divert water accordingly.
Construct temporary rock and asphalt driveways and wheel washers to buffer public streets from
dirt and mud.
Use part and full time street sweepers that operate along public streets and roads.
Cover all stockpiled soils to protect from erosion. Use berms around stockpiled soils.
Cover and protect from erosion plaster, concrete and other powders which create large amounts
of suspended solids.
Store all hazardous materials (paints, solvents, chemicals) in accordance with secondary
containment regulations and cover during wet weather.
Use terracing to prevent erosion.
Through grading plan review and approval, phase grading operations to reduce disturbed areas
during wet weather, limit vegetation removal, delineate clearing limits, setbacks, easements,
sensitive or critical areas, trees, drainage courses and buffer zones to prevent unnecessary
disturbance and exposure. Limit or prohibit grading during the wet weather season, October 15 to
April 15th.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1-12
Prevent spills and leaks by maintaining equipment, designating specific areas of a site for such
activities that are controlled and away from water courses and perform major maintenance off-
site or in designated areas only.
Cover and maintain all dumpsters, collect and properly dispose of all paint removal wastes, clean
up paints, solvents, adhesives and all cleaning solvents properly. Recycle and salvage appropriate
wastes and maintain an adequate debris disposal schedule.
Avoid roadwork and pavement stormwater pollution by following manufacturers’ instructions.
NOISE
Interior Ambient Noise. The City of South San Francisco regulates noise exposure through its General
Plan, Municipal Code (Chapter 8.32 – “Noise”) and State law.
The California Building Code (CBC) Title 24, Part 2, Chapter 2.35 of the California Code of Regulation,
collectively known as Title 24, contains acoustical requirements for interior sound levels in habitable
rooms for multi-family residential land uses. Title 24 contains requirements for construction of new
hotels, motels, apartment houses, and dwellings other than detached single-family dwellings intended to
limit the extent of noise transmitted into habitable spaces. The standard specifies the extent to which
walls, doors, and floor-ceiling assemblies must block or absorb sound in between units and the amount of
attenuation needed to limit noise from exterior sources. The standard sets forth an interior noise level of
45 dBA (CNEL or Ldn) in any habitable room with all doors and windows closed and requires an
acoustical analysis demonstrating how dwelling units have been designed to meet this interior standard
where such units are proposed in areas subject to noise levels greater than 60 dBA (CNEL or Ldn). Title 24
requirements are enforced as a condition of building permit issuance by the Building Division.
The City, through its General Plan, regulates noise in the City of South San Francisco. Policies include:
9-I-4 Ensure that project applications for all new noise-sensitive land uses (plans and specifications),
including hospitals and residential units proposed within the CNEL 60 dB to CNEL 69 dB aircraft
noise contour include an acoustical study, prepared by a professional acoustic engineer, that
specifies the appropriate noise mitigation features to be included in the design and construction
of these uses, to achieve an interior noise level of not more than CNEL 45 dB in any habitable
room, based on the latest official San Francisco International Airport (SFO) noise contours and
on-site measurement data.
9-1-5 Ensure that project applications for new noise-sensitive land uses (plans and specifications),
including schools and places of assembly, proposed within the CNEL 60 dB to CNEL 69 dB
aircraft noise contour include an acoustical study, prepared by a professional acoustic engineer,
that specifies the appropriate noise mitigation features to be included in the design and
construction of these uses, to achieve an interior noise level of not more than Leq 45 dB for the
noisiest hour of normal facility operation.
9-I-6 Require that applicants for new noise-sensitive development in areas subject to noise generators
producing noise levels greater than 65 dB CNEL, obtain the services of a professional acoustical
engineer to provide a technical analysis and design of mitigation measures.
180 El Camino Real– Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration
1-13
9-I-10 Do not allow new residential or noise sensitive development in 70 dB+ CNEL areas impacted by
SFO operations, as required by Airport Land Use Commission infill criteria.
9-I-11: Require new residential development in area between the most recent FAA-accepted 65 and 70
dB CNEL aircraft noise contours for SFO to grant an avigation easement to the City and County
of San Francisco, as proprietor of SFO.
Exterior Ambient Noise. The City of South San Francisco regulates exterior noise levels through the
South San Francisco Municipal Code (Section 8.32.030). The Municipal Code regulates noise pursuant to
land use and time of day. Lower density residential maximum noise exposure (excluding vehicle horns
and emergency vehicles) is restricted to 50 dB from 10 P.M. to 7 A.M. and 60 dB from 7 A.M. to 10 P.M.
Higher density residential and commercial is restricted to 55 dB from 10 P.M. to 7 A.M. and 65 dB from 7
A.M. to 10 P.M. Industrial land uses are restricted to 70 dB anytime of the day. These noise standards are
implemented largely through enforcement actions (i.e., citizen complaint and governmental response).
The Fire Department through its Code Enforcement Officer implements these regulations.
The City of South San Francisco regulates construction noise through the South San Francisco Municipal
Code (Section 8.32.050(d)). Construction noise is limited to 8 A.M. to 8 P.M. Monday through Friday, 9
A.M. to 8 P.M. on Saturdays and 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. on Sundays and holidays. The Building Division
enforces and monitors these regulations. Exceptions to the hours of construction may be granted by the
Chief Building Official under certain circumstances.

1.6 Lead Agency’s Determination
On the basis of the evaluation in this Initial Study:
I find that the proposed Project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and
a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment,
there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the Project have been made
by or agreed to by the Project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared.
I find that the proposed Project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed Project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially
significant unless mitigated” impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has
been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached
sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed Project could have a significant effect on the environment,
because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or
NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or
mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed Project, nothing further is required.

2 Project Description
2.1 Project Location and Setting
The Project site is located at the southern boundary of the City of South San Francisco, west of US 101 at
180 El Camino Real as shown in Figures 1.1 and 1.2. The site is located on the southern part of the South
ECR GPA planning area at the southeast corner of South Spruce Avenue and El Camino Real, and north
of the City of San Bruno. Uses within the same block include commercial buildings and surface parking
located directly east and south of the site. Surrounding and nearby land uses are a mix of commercial and
residential, with predominantly commercial uses along El Camino Real, across Huntington Avenue (east
of the site) and south of the site, and residential uses west of El Camino Real and one block north of South
Spruce Avenue as shown in Figures 2.1 to 2.6. Golden Gate National Cemetery is located southwest of the
site.
The Project site is a 14.5-acre corner lot with frontages on El Camino Real and South Spruce Avenue.
Portions of the site extend as driveways to Huntington Avenue.
Existing uses at the site include three single-story commercial buildings totaling 143,000 square feet. The
largest building at the eastern portion of the property includes Safeway Supermarket, Bally’s Total Fitness,
a vacant unit, Bedroom Express, and Longs Drug store. Another building on the northwestern portion
includes Firestone Tire and Auto Center. A third building includes the canopy and kiosk of a former
service station located west of the Firestone building. The remaining area comprises paved parking
surrounding the buildings and landscaped areas within and along the perimeter of the site.
Currently, four driveways along El Camino Real, two driveways along South Spruce Avenue, and two
driveways along Huntington Avenue provide site access.

2.2 Project Description
The proposed Project consists of removal of existing buildings and construction of six new ones:
Buildings A, B, C, D, and Major Tenant 3 (CVS), and a mixed-use building containing ground-floor
commercial with parking and residential uses above. Buildings A, B, C, D, and Major Tenant 3 (CVS)
consist of two stories (up to 40 feet in height) and the mixed-use buildings consist of five stories (up to
approximately 70 feet in height with one tower component at 90 feet height above Safeway (See Figures
2.7 to 2.28). The following table shows the gross square footage of the buildings to be constructed on the
14.5-acre site.

A total of 1,249 parking spaces will provide parking for the retail and residential components of the
project. Ground level parking will provide 580 spaces and a parking structure will provide 669 spaces. The
residential parking ratio is 1.5 spaces per 1-bedroom units and 1.8 spaces per 2-bedroom units while the
commercial parking ratio is one space per 250 square feet. Additionally, 20 bicycle parking spaces will be
provided near building entrances.
As proposed, vehicular traffic access is provided at two driveways along El Camino Real, two driveways
along South Spruce Avenue, and two driveways along Huntington Avenue. The southernmost driveway
along El Camino Real will be modified to allow left turn entry from southbound traffic along El Camino
Real. This would include modifications to the existing median, which currently prevents left-turn in along
El Camino Real. Driveways along South Spruce Avenue will be realigned to accommodate a right-turn in,
right-turn out and one that allows all turns. A modification to the existing median and a new southbound
left-turn lane along El Camino Real would be subject to Caltrans review and approval. Pedestrian
pathways and entrances are located along driveways and between buildings on El Camino Real and South
Spruce Avenue (See Figure 2.7).
The Project consists of two phases. Phase 1 will include:
Construction of pad for Major Tenant 3 (CVS);
Demolition of all three single-story existing buildings totaling 143,000 square feet;
Construction of site work including underground utility;
Construction of ground level retail for Major Tenants 1 (Safeway), 2, and 3 (CVS), a health club,
and both levels for Buildings A, B, C and D;
Construction of 184 parking stalls above Safeway and Major Tenant 2; and
Construction of 126 residential units on three levels above Safeway and Major Tenant 2 (See
Figures 2.16 and 2.28).
Phase 2 will occur when economically feasible, and will include:
Potential demolition of building portion of parking in Phase 1 to be connected to parking in
Phase 2;
Replacement parking to accommodate any Phase 1 parking impacted due to construction of
Phase 2 parking;
Podium deck over the health club and Building E to accommodate second level parking, then
connect to parking in Phase 1;
Construction of Building E; and
141 residential units on three levels.

3 Environmental Checklist
This Environmental Checklist provides the technical analysis and discussion of environmental impacts
and mitigation measures in support of the City of South San Francisco’s determination regarding the
appropriateness of a Mitigated Negative Declaration as the environmental review process for the Project.
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
This section provides an evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of the Project. These potential
impacts are based on the Environmental Checklist in the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G and each
checklist item is followed by a detailed discussion and, if necessary, mitigation measures to reduce impacts
to a less than significant level.
The level of significance is determined by considering the predicted magnitude of the Project’s potential
for significant impacts. The following levels of impact significance are described in this initial study:
No Impact – Impact does not apply to the projects like the one involved.
Less than Significant Impact – Impact would not result in a substantial and adverse change in the
environment and would not require mitigation.
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation – Impact may result in a substantial or potentially
substantial, adverse change in the environment; the incorporation of mitigation measures would reduce
the potentially significant impact to a less than significant level.
Potentially Significant Impact – Impact may result in a substantial or potentially substantial, adverse
change in the environment.

3.1 Aesthetics
DISCUSSION
a) Scenic Vistas
Scenic views that may be impacted by the Project include limited long-range views of Sign Hill and the
San Bruno Mountains that are visible facing north from South Spruce Avenue. Views facing west are
blocked by existing fences and residential developments along El Camino Real. Views facing south are
blocked due to uphill slope along El Camino Real and commercial developments south of the site. The
proposed Project would not block existing views of Sign Hill and San Bruno Mountains from El Camino
Real and South Spruce Avenue. While the proposed Project may obstruct limited views of the San Bruno
Mountains and Sign Hill from within the site, given existing obstructions from the existing site and
surrounding buildings, this would not create a new substantial adverse effect. Therefore, the impact on
scenic vistas is less than significant.
b) State Scenic Highway
The Project site is not located on or visible from a State Scenic Highway, nor is El Camino Real a
designated or eligible scenic highway. Therefore, there is no impact on scenic resources within a state
scenic highway.
c) Visual Character
The Project site is currently a shopping center with a one-story box retail building and two other stand-
alone buildings surrounded by surface parking and limited landscape along the site perimeter. The
proposed Project would substantially enhance the existing visual character and quality of the site and its
surroundings by providing a well-articulated and visually engaging façade along El Camino Real and
South Spruce Avenue. Furthermore, the mixed use retail/office buildings along El Camino Real
implement the goals of the South ECR GPA and the Grand Boulevard Initiative that emphasize

I. AESTHETICS — Would the Project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic
vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including,
but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and
historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character
or quality of the site and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare,
which would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area?

walkability and buildings built up to the sidewalk along El Camino Real. Therefore, there is no adverse
impact on visual character.
d) Light or Glare
Sources of light and glare in the Project vicinity include interior and exterior building lights, surface
parking lot lights, and city street lights. The existing level and sources of light and glare are typical of those
in a developed urban setting. The proposed Project would increase the building area on the Project site,
and therefore, would increase the amount of nighttime lighting and glare. However, development
standards that control outdoor artificial light, such as shielded light fixtures that reduce glare onto the
public right-or-way or adjoining properties (per the California Green Building Standards Code1 and the
City’s Zoning Ordinance), would reduce potentially significant long-term light and glare impacts to less
than significant levels.

II. AGRICULTURE AND FOREST RESOURCES: In
determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are
significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer
to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Dept.
of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing
impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining
whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland,
are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may
refer to information compiled by the California Department
of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s
inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range
Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment
project; and forest carbon measurement methodology
provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air
Resources Board. Would the Project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland
Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California
Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contract?
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of,
forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code
section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public
Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined by Government
Code section 51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest
land to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use?

DISCUSSION
a – e) Farmland and Forestland
The Project site does not contain any farmland or timberland. The Project site is not zoned for
agricultural or forest use and no parcels are classified Williamson Act contract lands. Therefore, the
proposed Project would have no impact on agricultural resources.

III. AIR QUALITY — Where available, the significance
criteria established by the applicable air quality
management or air pollution control district may be
relied upon to make the following determinations.
Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute
substantially to an existing or projected air
quality violation?
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non-attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard (including releasing emissions, which
exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial
pollutant concentrations?
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a
substantial number of people?
DISCUSSION
a) Conflict with Air Quality Plan
The Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan (CAP) is the latest BAAQMD adopted document that provides air
quality goals and control measures for the Project area. The goals of the 2010 Bay Area CAP are:
Attain air quality standards;
Reduce population exposure and protecting public health in the Bay Area; and
Reduce GHG emission and protect the climate.
The BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines (Updated May 2011 and May 2012) are consistent with the 2010 Bay
Area CAP goals. The analysis in Section (b) below shows that Project-generated construction and
operation-related emissions would be mitigated to remain within the thresholds established by
BAAQMD.2 Thus, the proposed Project is not in conflict with the applicable air quality plan and impacts
are less than significant.
2 The Air District’s June 2010 adopted thresholds of significance were challenged in a lawsuit. On March 5, 2012 the Alameda
County Superior Court issued a judgment finding that the Air District had failed to comply with CEQA when it adopted the
180 El Camino Real– Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration
3-7
b) Air Quality Standards
The following analysis is based on methodologies and assumptions recommended in the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District (BAAQMD) CEQA Air Quality Guidelines (dated June 2010, updated in May
2011, and revised in May 2012). The Project would have a significant environmental impact if it would
exceed BAAQMD’s construction and/or operational mass emission thresholds. California Emissions
Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2011.1.1, a computer model developed in cooperation with air
districts within the state including BAAQMD, was used to calculate Project-generated emissions.
CalEEMOD model is preferred to URBEMIS for CEQA analysis as it incorporates combustion GHG and
GHG emissions from indirect sources.3 A combination of project specific information such as
construction schedule and land use information as described in Section 2.2 Project Description of this
document and default information contained in CalEEMod were used to obtain construction-related and
operations-related emissions. See Appendix for assumptions and detailed calculation output tables.
Construction-Related Impacts
The following analyzes construction-related criteria pollutants including reactive organic gases (ROG),
nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM10), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emitted during
excavation, paving, painting, operating machinery, or transporting materials during construction. The
proposed Project is tentatively scheduled to begin demolition and construction in 2013, and estimates six
weeks for demolition followed by a year of construction of buildings and additional time for interior
finishes on residential buildings. (See Chapter 2.2 Project Description for details on project components.)
Table 3.1 shows that estimated construction emissions generated by the Project exceeds the BAAQMD
significance thresholds for construction-related ROG in 2013 and 2014. The Project construction would
generate less than significant levels of Nox, PM10, and PM2.5. Additionally, since BAAQMD best
management practices, listed under Air Quality in Section 1.4, are required as part of project approval,
impacts due to construction related PM10 and PM2.5 (fugitive dust) pollutants would be less significant.
thresholds. The court found that the adoption of the thresholds was a project under CEQA and ordered the Air District to
examine whether the thresholds would have a significant impact on the environment under CEQA before recommending their
use. The court did not determine whether the thresholds are or are not based on substantial evidence and thus valid on the
merits. The court issued a writ of mandate ordering the District to set aside the thresholds and cease dissemination of them
until the Air District had complied with CEQA. The court’s order permits the Air District to develop and disseminate these
CEQA Guidelines, as long as they do not implement the thresholds of significance.
Although the BAAQMD’s adoption of significance thresholds for air quality analysis has been subject to judicial actions, the
City of South San Francisco has determined that BAAQMD’s Revised Draft Options and Justification Report (October 2009),
provide substantial evidence to support the BAAQMD recommended thresholds. Therefore, the City of South San Francisco
has determined the BAAQMD recommended thresholds are appropriate for use in this analysis.

Since the majority (91 percent) of construction-related ROG emissions is due to area sources (paint VOC
levels and consumer products), the following mitigation measure would reduce constructions-related
ROG emission impacts to a less than significant level.
Mitigation Measure AQ-1: Project applicant to include the use of maximum 0 g/L emission VOC paint
for interior surfaces and 100 g/L emission VOC paint for exterior surface in the construction contract.
Table 3.2 shows that constructions-related emissions would be reduced to less than significant levels with
the mitigation measure.

Operations-Related Impacts
BAAQMD provides thresholds of significance for criteria pollutants for project operations including
reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM10), and fine particulate
matter (PM2.5) resulting from driving, operating landscape equipment, and heating. Where a proposed
Project replaces an existing emission source that is in operation at the beginning of environmental
analysis, BAAQMD recommends subtracting existing emissions from the estimated emissions to obtain
the baseline operations emissions for the proposed Project.4 Table 3.3 shows that operations-related
emissions generated by the proposed Project would be within the thresholds of significance for ROG,
NOx, PM10 (exhaust), and PM2.5 (exhaust). Thus, the Project’s impacts due to operations-related
emissions would be less than significant.

BAAQMD also establishes the following screening criteria for carbon monoxide (CO) emissions:
Project is consistent with congestion management program
Project does not increase traffic volume at affected intersection to more than 44,000 vehicles trips
per hour; and
Project traffic would not increase traffic volumes at affected intersections to more than 24,000
vehicles per hour where vertical and/or horizontal mixing is substantially limited (e.g., tunnel,
parking garage, bridge underpass, natural or urban street canyon, below-grade roadway).
Since the Project requires a transportation demand management (TDM) program per Section 20.400.003
of the South San Francisco Municipal Code, the Project is consistent with the regional congestion
management program. The traffic impact study shows that the Project would result in fewer than 44,000
vehicle trips per hour at any of the studied intersections.5 Additionally, the primary intersections analyzed
for the Project do not include intersections with limited vertical or horizontal mixing. Per the BAAQMD
CEQA Guidelines, “if all of the screening criteria are met by a proposed project, then the lead agency or
applicant would not need to perform a detailed air quality assessment of their project’s air pollutant
emissions.” Since the proposed Project meets all three screening criteria for CO, the Project is less than
significant in CO emission and does not require further analysis.

c) Cumulative Pollutant Impact
The Bay Area is designated as an attainment area for carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide,
and lead. Per the Bay Area 2010 Clean Air Plan, the Bay Area (as of 2009 data) is at non-attainment status
for the following pollutants:
1-hour Ozone (State standard of 0.09 ppm)
8-hour Ozone (State standard of 0.070 ppm and national standard of 0.081 ppm)
24-hour PM2.5 (National standard of 36 μg/m3 )
Annual PM2.5 (State standard of 50 μg/m3)
24-hour PM10 (State standard of 50 μg/m3)
Annual PM10 (State standard of 20 μg/m3)
Table 3.4 summarizes pollutant concentrations in the Project vicinity for the past three years as compared
to the national and California air pollution standards that were not met by the region. The table shows
that the State and national standard for ozone was exceeded once in 2010 in Redwood City, and the
national standard for the maximum 24-hour concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was
exceeded every year for the past three years, while respirable particulate matter (PM10) remained within
State and national standards.

The BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines recommends that cumulative air quality impacts from
criteria air pollutants for a project level analysis be addressed by comparison to the mass daily and annual
thresholds, which were developed to identify a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant
regional air quality impact. Since daily and annual impacts due to construction and operations-related
pollutions remain less than significant with mitigation as shown in previous Section (a), cumulative
criteria pollutant impacts remain less than significant.
Chapter 3: Environmental Checklist
3-12
d) Impact to Sensitive Receptors
As discussed earlier, the proposed Project does not include industrial uses and, therefore, is not a source
of substantial pollutant concentrations. However, the proposed Project includes new residential units, and
creates new sensitive receptors. Thus, this section includes analysis on impacts of existing toxic sources to
future residents. Examples of toxic sources include stationary sources, high traffic roads, freeways, rail
yards, and ports.6 Since the Project site is not located within 1,000 feet of freeways, rail yards or ports, the
following analysis compares health risks of new sensitive receptors to BAAQMD thresholds for stationary
sources and high traffic roads.
The proposed Project includes residential, retail, and office uses. These uses may involve the use of
hazardous materials and petroleum products in the form of routine janitorial and maintenance supplies.
Storage of these materials is required to comply with State and local standards intended to protect the
public health and safety and will not pose a hazard. Thus, the proposed Project would result in less than
significant cumulative impacts regarding pollutants.
BAAQMD Recommended Methods for Screening and Modeling Local Risks and Hazards (May, 2011)
establishes project-level thresholds for risk and hazards for new receptors when considering stationary
sources individually and cumulatively. BAAQMD provides a Google EarthTM file with locations of existing
permitted stationary sources for San Mateo County. Currently, two stationary sources are located within
1,000 feet. However, since Brentwood Auto Service, located within the Project area will be replaced with
the proposed Project, only one stationary source, a generator at Lowe’s, remains to be analyzed.7 Table 3.5
shows all risks at Lowe’s are within BAAQMD thresholds for individual projects, and impacts of
pollutants to sensitive receptors are less than significant.
BAAQMD establishes a screening analysis for estimating risk and hazard impacts from California
highways and surface streets to receptors such as future residences of the proposed Project. Interstate-280,
I-380, US-101 are located more than 1,000 feet away from the Project site, and do not pose health or
hazard impacts as defined by BAAQMD screening analysis. Other roadways concerning this analysis
includes El Camino Real (also known as State Route 82), which runs north-south along the Project’s
western boundary, and carries an annual average daily traffic of about 41,500 vehicles per day north of I-
380, including trucks. Additionally, the Project is estimated to generate 11,475 vehicle trips daily upon
completion. The residential units closest to El Camino Real, as shown in conceptual site plans, are located
approximately 60 feet from the road edge. Table 3.5 shows risks for receptors located 50 feet east and 20
feet above El Camino Real per BAAQMD Highway Screening Analysis Tool for San Mateo County.8 Table
3.5 shows that cancer risk, exposure to fine particulate matter, chronic hazard, and acute hazards are less
than significant for individual sources and when considered cumulatively.

Additionally, the proposed Project incorporates BAAQMD recommended best management practices for
reducing exposure to toxic air contaminants (TAC) from roadways such as locating residential units away
from major roadways by placing them along Huntington Avenue instead of El Camino Real and by
incorporating street trees along El Camino Real and South Spruce Avenue and throughout the Project site
boundary and surface parking area as well as the podium level (See Figures 2.6 to 2.9). Furthermore, the
proposed Project includes phased developments to build half of the residential units at a later phase. Thus,
risks due to pollutant sources would be less than significant.
e) Odors
The proposed Project includes retail, office, parking, and residential uses and does not include any uses
associated with unpleasant odors such as landfills or manufacturing plants. Thus, the following analysis
regards odor impacts to future residents. BAAQMD establishes a threshold of significance for odors as
five confirmed complaints per year averaged over three years. Since existing uses do not include sensitive
odor receptors, there are no odor complaints to date. For future residences, industrial uses and
manufacturing plants located east of the Centennial Trail present potential odor sources. Since the
prevailing wind for this location is from the west most of the year,9 odors from existing industrial uses
located east of the Centennial Trail are not expected to drift to the proposed Project site. Thus, odor
impacts are less than significant.

f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat
Conservation Plan, Natural Community
Conservation Plan, or other approved local,
regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
DISCUSSION
a, b) Biological Resources
According to the South ECR GPA EIR, the California Gap Analysis designates the Project site and the
surrounding area as urbanized, without sensitive habitats. According to the Gap Analysis, there are no
known riparian habitats or other sensitive natural communities, wetlands, or wildlife corridors within the
Project site or in the surrounding area. The South ECR GPA EIR identified three special status species
that had the potential to occur within the South ECR GPA boundary. However, there are no habitats
within the Project site that would support these species, and the observed occurrences of these species are
outside the Project site. Therefore, there are no impacts on species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or
special status species, or on riparian habitat.

c, d) Wetlands and Migratory Wildlife Corridors
The Project site and surrounding area is a highly urbanized area which does not contain any migratory
wildlife corridors. There are no protected wetlands within the Project site or the surrounding area.
Therefore, there will be no impact with regard to protected wetlands and the movement of wildlife.
e, f) Local Policies and Ordinances and Plans
There are no trees on the Project site that meet the criteria for protection or any local ordinances or
policies protecting other biological resources that would apply to the Project site. The Project site is not in
an area subject to the San Bruno Mountain Habitat Conservation Plan. Therefore, there will be no impact
with regard to local policies and ordinances and Habitat Conservation Plans.

b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of an archaeological resource
pursuant to §15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique
paleontological resource or site or unique
geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those
interred outside of formal cemeteries?
DISCUSSION
a) Historic Resources
Section 15064.5 defines historical resources as the following:
Listed in or determined to be eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources;
Included in a local register or historical resource (Public Resources Code Section 5024.1(g);
Identified in an historical resources survey (meets the criteria of Public Resources Code Section
5024.1(g)); or
Meets the California Register of Historical Resources criteria (Public Resources Code Section
5024.1, Title 14 CCR, Section 4852 or Section 5020.1(j)).
The historic-era use of the area within the vicinity of the Project site began early with the Spanish, with
the route of El Camino Real as a principal thoroughfare from the late 18th century to present day. Map
review by Northwest Information Center (NIC) reveals that an 1858 map for Rancho Buriburi depicts El
Camino Real and several houses along the road, but does not depict them within the Project site. Review
of 1896 and 1915 15-minute San Mateo topographic quadrangles do not depict any buildings or structures
within the Project site.10 NIC records search, which includes listings of California Register of Historical
Resources, California State Historical Landmarks, California State Points of Historical Interest, and the
National Register of Historic Places, lists that one of two buildings located on 190 El Camino Real (DOE-
41-96-0165-0000), as having undergone Section 106 review and determined ineligible for the National

Register.12 NIC recommends further review of buildings older than 40 years of age at this site. In
reviewing local surveys, the City’s latest historic preservation survey of 1985-1986, which identifies
architectural and historic resources of South San Francisco, and an updated Citywide List of Designated
and Potential Historic Resources (updated November 13, 2002) per the City, show that these buildings
were not listed as eligible for designated or potential historic resources.13 Thus, there would be no impact
to historic resources.
b) Archaeological Resources
Record search by the NIC shows that at the time of Euroamerican contact, the Native Americans that
lived in this portion of the peninsula were speakers of the Costanoan or Ohlone language, part of the
Utian language family. Based on mission registers of tribal name and locations, the Project site is
described as being located within the area controlled by Urebure, and that the people of the San Bruno
Creek area just south of San Bruno Mountain lived as a single village group. There are no Native
American resources in or adjacent to the Project site referenced in ethnographic literature. Based on an
evaluation of the environmental setting and features associated with known sites, Native American
resources in this part of San Mateo County have been found in close proximity to sources of water, near
the bay margin and its associated wetlands, and near ecotones and other productive environments. The
proposed Project site is situated on terraces above the broad marshland and wetlands that formed around
the mouths of Colma Creek and San Bruno Creek. Intermittent streams once flowed adjacent to the site,
and portions of the site contain deposits that have been undifferentiated alluvial deposit from the
Holocene. Given the correlation of these factors, there is a moderately high potential of unrecorded
Native American resources buried with no surface indications within the site. The proposed Project site
has been highly developed and is presently covered with asphalt, buildings, or fill that obscures the
visibility of original surface soils, which negates the feasibility of an adequate surface inspection. Thus, the
Project could significantly impact archaeological resources.
Mitigation CULT-1: The Project Applicant shall incorporate the following provisions into the grading
and construction contracts as a condition of approval of permit:
Prior to ground disturbance, the depths of impact for the proposed Project be adequately
determined to assess locations that have the potential to disturb sensitive landforms. This
information should be compared with archival research to determine the appropriate locations
for geo-archaeological testing. A report containing “next-step” recommendations should be
provided.15
Prior to the initiation of construction or ground-disturbing activities, the Project Applicant will

constitutes cultural resources, the possibility of buried cultural resources, how to recognize such
possible buried cultural resources, as well as the procedure to follow if such cultural resources are
encountered. Project Applicant shall ensure that project personnel involved in ground disturbing
activities are informed that collecting significant historical or unique archaeological resources
discovered during development of the project is prohibited by law. Prehistoric or Native
American resources can include chert or obsidian flakes, projectile points, mortars and pestles;
and dark friable soil containing shell and bone dietary debris, heat-affected rock, or human
burials. Historic resources can include nails, bottles, ceramics or other items often found in
refuse deposits and buried features, such as privy pits and foundations;
If unknown potential or unique archaeological resources are encountered during construction,
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5 (f), “provisions for historical or unique
archaeological resources accidentally discovered during construction” should be instituted. Work
should be temporarily halted within 50 feet or as deemed appropriate by the archaeologist and
workers should avoid altering the materials and their context until a qualified professional
archaeologist has evaluated the significance of the find and provided appropriate
recommendations. Project personnel should not collect cultural resources.”
If any find is determined to be significant, representatives of the Project proponent and/or lead
agency and the qualified archaeologist shall meet to determine the appropriate avoidance
measures or other appropriate measure, with the ultimate determination to be made by the City,
which shall assure implementation of appropriate measures recommended by the archaeologist.
The City shall determine whether avoidance is necessary and feasible in light of factors such as the
nature of the find, project design, costs, and other considerations. If avoidance is unnecessary or
infeasible, other appropriate measures (e.g., data recovery) such as plans for methodical
excavation of the portions of the site shall be instituted and results in detailed technical reports for
submittal to the Northwest Information Center. Work may proceed on other parts of the project
site while measure for historical resources or unique archaeological resources is carried out. All
significant archaeological materials recovered shall be subject to scientific analysis, professional
museum curation, and a resource mitigation plan and monitoring program report prepared by
the qualified archaeologist for submittal to the Northwest Information Center.
With this mitigation, the Project’s impacts to archaeological resources will be less than significant.
c) Paleontological Resources or Geologic Features
Per the South ECR GPA EIR, the University of California Museum of Paleontology website showed that
Equus fossil was found in the City of South San Francisco without providing the exact location. The South
ECR GPA EIR assessed that the lithology of the fossil is identified as mudstone, which is located in areas
near the bay and in the San Bruno Mountains, areas outside of the South ECR GPA boundary. Thus, it is
unlikely that fossils would be located within the Project site. However, because the site is developed and
covered with asphalt, it is difficult to assess the impact of excavation and grading during construction, and
the Project may impact paleontological resources.
Mitigation CULT-2: In the event of an unanticipated discovery of a paleontological resource during
construction, excavations within 50 feet of the find or as deemed appropriate by a paleontologist shall be
temporarily halted or diverted until the discovery is examined by a qualified paleontologist (per Society of
Vertebrate Paleontology standards [SVP 1995,1996]). A qualified paleontologist shall document the
180 El Camino Real– Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration
3-19
discovery as needed, evaluate the potential resource, and assess the significance of the find under the
criteria set forth in Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. The paleontologist shall notify the
appropriate agencies to determine procedures that would be followed before construction is allowed to
resume at the location of the find. If the City determines that avoidance is not feasible, the paleontologist
shall prepare an excavation plan for mitigating the effect of the project on the qualities that make the
resource important, and such plan shall be implemented. The plan shall be submitted to the City for
review and approval.
With this mitigation, the Project’s impacts to paleontological resources will be less than significant.
d) Human Remains
As stated in subsection A, the proposed Project site has been highly developed and is presently covered
with asphalt, buildings, or fill that obscures the visibility of original surface soils, which negates the
feasibility of an adequate surface inspection regarding human remains. Thus, the proposed Project may
have significant impacts to human remains.
Mitigation CULT-3: In the event that human skeletal remains are uncovered at the project site during
construction or ground-breaking activities, all work shall immediately halt and the San Mateo County
Coroner shall be contacted to evaluate the remains, and following the procedures and protocols pursuant
to Section 15064.5 (e)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines. If the County Coroner determines that the remains are
Native American, the City shall contact the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC),
pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code, and all excavation and site
preparation activities shall cease within a 50-foot radius of the find until appropriate arrangements are
made. If the agencies determine that avoidance is not feasible, then an alternative plan shall be prepared
with specific steps and timeframe required to resume construction activities. Monitoring, data recovery,
determination of significance and avoidance measures (if applicable) shall be completed expeditiously.
With this mitigation, the Project’s impacts to human remains will be less than significant.

VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS — Would the Project:
a) Expose people or structures to potential
substantial adverse effects, including the risk of
loss, injury, or death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as
delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State
Geologist for the area or based on other

topsoil?
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is
unstable, or that would become unstable as a
result of the Project, and potentially result in on-
or off-site landslide, lateral spreading,
subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table
18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994),
creating substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting
the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water
disposal systems where sewers are not available
for the disposal of waste water?
180 El Camino Real– Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration
3-21
DISCUSSION
a) Seismic Hazards
i. Earthquake Fault Rupture
The Project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone and no active or potentially
active faults traverse the Project site.16 Thus, potential impacts related to surface fault rupture would be
less than significant.
ii. Ground Shaking
As the Project site is located approximately two miles east of San Andreas Fault, the nearest known active
fault, the Project site will, on average, experience stronger earthquake shaking more frequently.17
Although intense shaking may damage buildings, building codes and construction standards established
by the California Building Code and contained in Title 24 of the CCR are required and will help prevent
extensive structural damage due to seismic-related ground shaking. Therefore, potential impacts related
to ground shaking would be less than significant.
iii. Liquefaction
ABAG designates the portion of the Project site along South Spruce Avenue as an area of high liquefaction
susceptibility during an earthquake and the remaining area as very low liquefaction susceptibility.18
Mandatory compliance with existing building codes and construction standards established in the
California Building Code, the requirements of the City of South San Francisco Municipal Code, and
policies contained in the City of South San Francisco General Plan would reduce seismic-related
liquefaction to less than significant levels.
iv. Landslides
ABAG designates the Project site as “flatland.”19 There is no threat of landslides on the Project site;
therefore, there will be no impacts with respect to landslides.
b, c, d) Soils
According to the Phase I Environmental Assessment, the Project site is underlain by fill materials to a
depth of four to 11.5 feet below grade and by alluvium to the maximum depth explored, 65 feet below
grade20. The existing Project site is a developed site with three single-story buildings on a parking lot. The
site is situated 25 to 35 feet above mean sea level and the local topography slopes from north to northeast.

Survey, the Project site consists of “urban land,” consisting of manmade soils and fill material that are not
sources of topsoil.21 Thus, there would be no impact to loss of topsoil.
Erosion hazards would be highest during construction activities, when soils at the Project site may be
sensitive to disturbances caused by construction traffic and to changes in moisture content during wet
weather periods. The federal Clean Water Action Section (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
Program [NPDES]) requires every permit applicant for a site of one acre or more of Project area to obtain
a NPDES Construction General Permit and prepare and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) prior to construction. Best management practices included in SWPPP are designed to
minimize the discharge of pollutants and to control erosion and effectively manage runoff and retain
sediment on-site during construction. All Projects must also comply with the San Mateo Countywide
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (STOPPP), which addresses pollution control during
construction and operation. Project Applicant must incorporate best management practices of SWPPP
and STOPPP as a condition of approval (See Section 1.4).
California Code Regulation, Title 24, Part 2, the California Building Code (Chapter 15.08 of the City’s
Municipal Code) establishes standards for structural and soil requirements. The City of South San
Francisco Municipal Code Section 15.08.140), requires the Project Applicant to submit a soils engineering
report or a geotechnical report with a grading permit (See Section 1.4). The soils engineering report or a
geotechnical report includes detailed information on existing soils and recommendations for grading
procedures and design criteria for corrective measures and for building on potentially unstable soil or
expansive soil. Mandatory compliance with the City of South San Francisco Municipal Code and NPDES
General Construction Permit requirements would reduce impacts due to soil erosion, unstable soil, or
expansive soil to less than significant levels.
e) Capability of Soils to Support Septic Tanks
The City is currently served by the City’s municipal sewer system and future projects will continue to be
required to be connected to the City’s system. Therefore, there would be no impact on soils due to septic
systems.

XVII. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS — Would the
project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either
directly or indirectly, that may have a
significant impact on the environment?
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or
regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing
the emissions of greenhouse gases?
DISCUSSION
a – b) Greenhouse Gas Emissions
BAAQMD’s GHG threshold is defined in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), a metric that
accounts for the emission from various greenhouse gases based on their global warming potential.
CalEEMod was used to quantify greenhouse gas emissions at the project level. See Section 3.3 Air Quality
for description of CalEEMod and Appendix for detailed calculation output and assumptions.
Constructions-Related Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Though BAAQMD does not establish thresholds for constructions-related emissions, the BAAQMD Air
Quality Guidelines (Updated May 2011) requires CEQA documents to disclose this information. Table 3.6
shows that a total of 1,764 metric tons of CO2e would be emitted over two years of construction.
Table 3.6: Constructions-Related Greenhouse Gas Emission

Per the South ECR GPA EIR, a total of 526,766 metric tons of CO2e was generated in South San Francisco
in 2005 and a total of 517,975 metric tons of CO2e is expected by 2020 with state mandates.22 Since the
maximum yearly constructions-related greenhouse gas emissions generated by the Project represents
0.2% of total greenhouse gas emission estimates for the City, the impact would be less than significant.

Operations-Related Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Where a proposed Project replaces an existing emission source that is in operation at the beginning of
environmental analysis, BAAQMD recommends subtracting existing emissions from the estimated
emissions for the proposed Project to obtain baseline emission. Table 3.7 shows that the per service
population greenhouse gas emissions level for the Project is within the BAAQMD threshold, and impact
would be less than significant.

Notes:
1. Service Population Calculation is based on Department of Finance population projection rate for 2012 of 3.044 persons
per household, yielding 867 persons for the proposed Project. Employee projection is based on the South ECR GPA
employment projection rate of 400 sf/employee for commercial (total and 375 sf/employee for office use. This yields
586 employees for the proposed Project, and a total of 1,453 service population (employee + residents).
Source: BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines, May 2011; CalEEMOD, Dyett & Bhatia, 2012.
Cumulative Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impact
As the Project’s CO2e emissions would not exceed BAAQMD threshold levels, the Project would not
result in a cumulatively considerable contribution of GHG emissions or a cumulatively significant impact
to global climate change. Furthermore, CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5 allows tiering and streamlining
the analysis of greenhouse gas emissions for a project-specific environmental document by referencing
existing programmatic review such as the South ECR GPA EIR. As described in the South ECR GPA EIR,
the Amendment will increase total carbon dioxide equivalent emissions in South San Francisco compared
to existing conditions. However, due to emission reductions that would result from State regulations and
the implementation of the Amendment, emissions in 2020 (the buildout year for South ECR GPA) are not
expected to exceed existing levels. The South ECR GPA EIR recognized the impact as cumulatively
significant; however, the Amendment’s contribution was less than considerable. The proposed Project is
entirely consistent with the South ECR GPA policies and EIR. In addition, the Project would not result in
any new additional impacts related to greenhouse gas that were not identified or analyzed in the South
ECR GPA EIR. Therefore, there is no further impact to be analyzed regarding impacts of greenhouse gas
emissions or plan consistency.

environment through reasonably foreseeable upset
and accident conditions involving the release of

including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized
areas or where residences are intermixed with
wildlands?
DISCUSSION
a – d) Hazardous Materials
The following analyzes risks regarding hazardous materials for existing uses on Project site, historical
uses, and proposed uses as part of the Project.
According to AEI’s Phase I Environmental Assessment, the Project site is subject to the routine use, and
disposal of hazardous materials or petroleum products in the form of solvents, petroleum-based fluids,
Chapter 3: Environmental Checklist
3-26
and aboveground hazardous substance or petroleum storage tanks used for vehicle repair operations at
Firestone, photodeveloping chemicals at Longs Drugs, and a propane container at Safeway.23 The
materials appear to be properly stored and the materials observed did not appear to pose a hazard to the
project site. Furthermore, these materials are contained within the site and do not involve transportation
of or emission that would affect surrounding properties including schools.
Though the Project site is not listed as a hazardous site per Government Code Section 65962.5,24 the Phase
I Environmental Assessment reveals former uses that may have resulted in residual concentrations of
subsurface soil contamination on site from former vehicle repair uses prior to Firestone and an open
leaking underground storage tank (LUST) site from former Unocal service station use that is currently
undergoing groundwater monitoring at a quarterly basis to obtain case closure.25 The Assessment report
shows that impacts from former leaking hydraulic lifts at Firestone appear to be less than significant, but
recommends continuous monitoring for presence of volatile organic compounds and heavy range
hydrocarbon concentration through groundwater sampling and analysis at existing monitoring wells.
Currently five wells are being monitored (four of them twice a year and one of them once a year) at the
former Unocal service station site. The monitoring wells are located in front and behind the Firestone
building, where proposed commercial Building A and a portion of surface parking area will be located.
Based on the latest groundwater monitoring report by Stantec, which shows results of groundwater
monitoring and sampling as well as analysis from soil samples performed on September 20, 2011 and
January 6, 2012, hydrocarbons concentrations such as gasoline range organics were reported as high as
62,000 micrograms per liter (ug/L) with depth of highest soil impact ranging from 10 feet to 40 feet.26 The
groundwater monitoring report shows that the highest concentration of gasoline range organics is located
just west of the service bays at Firestone and decreases in concentration with less than 100 ug/L detected
at a location 30 feet from the monitoring well MW-1R located west of the Firestone service bays. (See
Figure 5 of Stantec Report in the Appendix). Since the areas identified by the Stantec report as having
concentration of hydrocarbons are not proposed to include residential units, the following mitigation
measures prevent potential leakage of contaminated soil into future ground-level retail uses.
Mitigation Measure HAZ-1: Prior to approval of a building permit, obtain case closure at Chevron
Facility 306441 (Former Unocal Service Station No. 6980) located at 190-192 El Camino Real, South San
Francisco (Assessor’s Parcel Number 014-183-110).
If case closure cannot be obtained, the following must be completed as a condition of approval:
Prepare and implement a remediation plan and gain project approval from San Mateo County
Health Systems Groundwater Protection System (SMCHS-GPP).

To ensure safety from potential harm to construction crew during excavation and construction,
the Project applicant will determine the depth of soil contamination from the latest groundwater
monitoring report for the site of former Unocal service prior to demolition and grading at the
Project site. Appropriate safety and engineering controls will be taken per the Health and Safety
Code (Cal OSHA regulations California Code of Regulations, Title 8) to protect construction
crew and the public.
To mitigate potential migration of volatile contamination to indoor air, the Project will include
active or passive vapor control systems over the area of the former Unocal site (proposed Building
A area) as shown in Figure 3-1 as approved with a vapor mitigation system approved by SMCHS-
GPP.
Figure 3.1: Remediation Compound Location
With these mitigation measures, the proposed Project would not result in any new impacts involving
hazardous materials to the public, environment, or schools.
e – f) Airport
The Project is subject to Part 77, Subpart C for the San Francisco Airport, which establishes height criteria
at airport approach zones, the proposed Project would not exceed any height limits established by the
most recently adopted San Mateo County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan and the Comprehensive
Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan for the Environs of San Francisco International Airport (SFO
Chapter 3: Environmental Checklist
3-28
ALUCP, October 2012). The Part 77 map allows 100 to 150 feet above ground level (AGL) on the Project
site and the Project proposes a maximum height of 90 feet (See Figures 2.12 to 2.22).27 The Project site is
located within Zone 4 Outer Approach/Departure Zone, but does not propose uses incompatible in such
zones such as hospitals, schools, or stadiums.28 Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in any
new impacts regarding airport hazards.
g) Emergency Response
In 1995, the City prepared an Emergency Response Plan integrated with the San Mateo Area/ County
Multi-Hazard Functional Plan. The City’s plan is in compliance with existing law. There will be no new
impacts in regards to emergency response.
h) Fire
The Project site is not adjacent to wildlands; therefore there will be no new impact in regards to wildland
fires.

VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY — Would the
Project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste
discharge requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or
interfere substantially with groundwater recharge
such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer
volume or a lowering of the local groundwater
table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-
existing nearby wells would drop to a level which
would not support existing land uses or planned
uses for which permits have been granted)?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of
the site or area, including through the alteration
of the course of a stream or river, in a manner
which would result in substantial erosion or
siltation on- or off-site?
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of
the site or area, including through the alteration
of the course of a stream or river, or substantially
increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a
manner, which would result in flooding on- or off-
site?
e) Create or contribute runoff water which would
exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems or provide
substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
g) Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard
area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard
Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other
flood hazard delineation map?
h) Place within a 100-year flood hazard area
structures, which would impede or redirect flood
flows?
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk
of loss, injury or death involving flooding,
including flooding as a result of the failure of a
levee or dam?
j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?
Chapter 3: Environmental Checklist
3-30
DISCUSSION
a, f) Water Quality
The City requires the Developer to prepare and obtain approval of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) and the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for new development and
construction as part of its stormwater management program, as applied through standard City conditions
of project approval by the City Engineer of the City’s Public Works Department. Additionally, adherence
to federal, state, and local laws would ensure that impacts will be less than significant.
b) Groundwater
The Project site receives water supply from existing local infrastructure. The proposed Project would rely
on water service from the California Water Service Company (Cal Water). Per the Cal Water 2010 Urban
Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the City of South San Francisco, a historical maximum of 1,500
AFY has been pumped from the Westside basin to supplement purchased water. The 2010 UWMP
projects a 2020 service population of 58,297, which accommodates the population projection estimates for
South ECR GPA EIR as discussed in Section 3.17(d). Cal Water is working on installing additional wells
in the South San Francisco District serving this Project area, and Project impact to groundwater would be
less than significant. A “will serve” letter has been obtained by Cal Water stating that, while the specific
requirements cannot be determined until utility plans, water demand, and fire department requirements
are submitted to the Company, the Company is prepared to provide water service to the project.
c, d, e) Drainage
A large portion of the Project site is currently paved. Paved portions of the site include driveways and
surface parking. The portion of the site that is currently not paved includes landscaped areas within and
surrounding surface parking. Based on the storm water management concept drawings by Pacific Land
Services (See Figure 2.27), the Project would provide a total of 68,200 square feet of landscaped pervious
surface compared to 32,000 square feet of existing pervious surface. Thus, the Project would not increase
drainage or runoff. Additionally, the preliminary utility plan shows that new stormwater infiltration
basins will be installed at landscaped areas at surface parking lots and along the street frontage (See Figure
2.26).
The Project site is currently served by municipal storm sewers and is located within the Colma Creek
Flood Control Zone29; however, the site is not subject to hydromodification since the majority of Colma
Creek is lined. Furthermore, the Project applicant is required to submit a SWPPP and an Erosion Control
Plan to the City Engineer of the City’s Public Works Department prior to the commencement of any
grading or construction of the proposed Project. The SWPPP is required to include stormwater pollution
control devices and filters to be installed to prevent pollutants from entering the City’s storm drain system
and San Francisco Bay. The Plan shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the
City’s Stormwater Coordinator. The City also requires projects to incorporate BMPs to help reduce
stormwater runoff. Adherence to federal, state, and local laws would ensure that impacts will be less than
significant.

g, h, i) Flood Hazards
Review of the Flood Insurance Rate map, published by FEMA and dated October 2012, indicated a small
portion of the Project site facing South Spruce Avenue is located in Zone X, areas outside of the 100-year
flood zone.30 No Base Flood Elevations or depths are shown within this zone. The Project site is not
located near a levy or a dam. There will be no impacts in regards to flood hazards.
j) Tsunami Hazards
The City’s General Plan estimates that potential wave run-up of a 100-year tsunami would be
approximately 4.3 feet above mean sea level (msl) and approximately 6.0 feet above msl for a 500-year
tsunami.31 The Project site, approximately 25 to 35 feet above mean sea level,32 would be too high for
inundation by a 500-year tsunami and would be outside any potential tsunami hazard zone. There will be
no impacts in regards to tsunami hazards.

a) Division of an Established Community
The Project is compatible with development north and south of the Project site along El Camino Real in
terms of land use patterns. Currently, development along El Camino Real in the southern areas of South
San Francisco consists of a mix of residential, commercial, and office buildings. The proposed Project has
a height and density similar to the projects surrounding of the Project site—two-story commercial
buildings along El Camino Real (west) and South Spruce Avenue (north) and taller and wider buildings
along Huntington Avenue (east) and south of the Project site. The proposed Project would contribute to
compatible land use and urban design patterns along El Camino Real, resulting in a more cohesive
community. Therefore, the proposed Project would have no impact on dividing an established
community.
b – c) Conflicts with Plans
The Project is consistent with the El Camino Real Mixed Use (ECRMX) designation in the City’s South
ECR GPA and the Zoning Ordinance, which establishes a minimum height of 25 feet and a maximum
height of 80 feet with an additional 20 feet height increase for the incorporation of TDM measures. The
most recently adopted Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for the Environs
of San Francisco International Airport (October 2012) limits buildings to 100 to 150 feet critical
aeronautical surface height at the Project site. The Project proposes two story retail/office buildings of 39
feet high and five-story mixed-use buildings at maximum 74 feet high with a 90 foot high tower element
which would not exceed the ALUCP height limits. The Project does not propose land uses incompatible
in Airport Outer Approach/Departure Zones per the ALUCP. The Project site is not in an area subject to
any habitat conservation or natural community conservation plans. There will be no impact with regard
to local policies and ordinances and habitat conservation plans.

f) For a Project within the vicinity of a private
airstrip, would the Project expose people residing
or working in the Project area to excessive noise
levels?
DISCUSSION
a, e, f) Consistency with Plans, Ordinances, and Applicable Standards
General Policy GP-5.3 of the latest San Francisco Airport Comprehensive Airport Land Use Compatibility
Plan, October 2012 (SFO ALUCP) states that a project application completed prior to the adoption of the
latest ALUCP and located within the CNEL 70 dB contour of the previous 1996 Compatibility Land Use
Plan (CLUP) will be subject to the 1996 CLUP’s 2006 noise contour.
Because the proposed Project application was deemed complete by the City on June 19, 2012, the
proposed Project is subject to the 2006 noise contours of the 1996 CLUP. Per Exhibit III-1 of the SFO
ALUCP, the southwestern portion of the Project site is located in the CNEL 70 to 75 dB (1996 CLUP
Noise Compatibiltiy Zone Boundary Forecast 2006 NEM) noise contour range and the remaining area in
the 65 to 70 dB range.33 Figure 2.7 shows the boundary of the 70 to 75 dB noise contour area and that

residential units are located in the 65 to 70 dB range. Per the ALUCP, commercial use is compatible
without restrictions in this 70 dB to 75 dB noise range. Multi-family residential use is conditionally
compatible in the 65 to 70 dB range with the following provisions included as condition of building
permit approval:35
Project Applicant to provide an acoustical study provided by a professional acoustical engineer
that provides mitigation features to achieve an interior noise level of maximum CNEL 45 from
exterior noise per California Code of Regulations Title 21, Section 5014.
Provide notice to owners of real property near the Airport of the proximity to SFO and of the
potential impacts that could occur on the property from airport/aircraft operations
The property owners shall grant an avigation easement to the City and County of San Francisco.
If the proposed development is not built, then, upon notice by the local permitting authority, SFO
shall record a notice of termination of the avigation easement.36
Adherence to existing State and local requirements will ensure that impacts are less than significant.
b, d) Groundborne Noise and Vibration
Construction-related noise and vibration is considered a short-term impact associated with demolition,
site preparation, grading, and other construction-related activities. Construction activities associated with
the Project would be temporary in nature and related impacts would be short-term. Typical noise levels
from construction equipment range from 80 to 90 dBA at 50 feet for most types of construction
equipment, and slightly higher levels for certain types of earthmoving and impact equipment such as pile
drivers. The South San Francisco Municipal Code Section 8.32.050(d) restricts construction noise to
weekdays between the hours of eight a.m. and eight p.m., on Saturdays between the hours of nine a.m.
and eight p.m., and on Sundays and holidays between the hours of ten a.m. and six p.m. Adherence with
the City’s Code will ensure that construction related noise impacts are less than significant.
c) Permanent Increase in Ambient Noise Levels
The proposed Project is entirely consistent with the South ECR GPA and resulting Environmental Impact
Report. The Project would not result in any new additional impacts to ambient noise levels other than
those identified in the South ECR GPA EIR. Additionally, South San Francisco Municipal Code Section
8.32.030 restricts exterior ambient noise in higher density residential and commercial areas to 55 dB from
ten p.m. to seven a.m. and 65 dB from seven a.m. to 10 p.m. Therefore, there is no impact and no further
analysis is needed.

XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING — Would the Project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area,
either directly (for example, by proposing new
homes and businesses) or indirectly (for
example, through extension of roads or other
infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing,
necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people,
necessitating the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere?
DISCUSSION
a) Population Growth
The South ECR GPA EIR projected an additional 2,410 people in the Planning Area in 2020. The
proposed Project is entirely consistent with the South ECR GPA and EIR, and therefore has been included
in the South ECR GPA buildout projection. The proposed Project would not increase the population or
result in any new additional impacts beyond what was projected and analyzed by the South ECR GPA
EIR. Therefore, there is no further impact to be analyzed regarding population growth.
b) and c) Displacement of Housing or People
The existing use does not contain residential uses. The Project will result in new housing. Therefore, there
is no impact in regards to displacement of housing or people.

XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES —
a) Would the Project result in substantial adverse
physical impacts associated with the provision of
new or physically altered governmental facilities,
need for new or physically altered governmental
facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental impacts, in order to
maintain acceptable service ratios, response
times or other performance objectives for any of
the public services:
i) Fire protection?
ii) Police protection?
iii) Schools?
iv) Parks?
v) Other public facilities?
DISCUSSION
a) Public Services
i. Fire
The Project site will be served by Fire Station #61, located at 480 North Canal Street, 1.2 miles northeast of
the Project site. If the current level of staffing is maintained, the South San Francisco Fire Department will
be able to meet the current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard of one firefighter per
1,000 residents. It is not anticipated that new facilities or an expansion of existing facilities is required to
serve the Project. In addition, the proposed Project will have to adhere to General Plan policies as well as
the California Fire Code, the Uniform Building Code and the City’s Municipal Code. Given this, no
impacts to fire services are anticipated.
ii. Police
The Project site will be served by the police station located at 33 Arroyo Drive, 1.2 miles north of the
Project site. The South ECR GPA EIR anticipated that four additional officers would be required to
maintain a law enforcement standard of 1.5 police officers per 1,000 residents at buildout and concluded
that an additional four officers would not require the construction of a new police station, resulting in less
than significant impacts. The proposed Project is entirely consistent with the South ECR GPA and EIR,
and has been included in the South ECR GPA buildout projection. The Project would not result in any
new additional impacts that were not identified and analyzed in the South ECR GPA EIR. Therefore, there
is no further impact to be analyzed regarding police services.
Chapter 3: Environmental Checklist
3-38
iii. Schools
The South ECR GPA EIR shows that the South San Francisco Unified School District has sufficient
capacity to meet the demand resulting from the South ECR GPA for school facilities and concludes that
there is a less than significant impact on school facilities. The proposed Project is entirely consistent with
the South ECR GPA and EIR, and therefore has been included in the South ECR GPA buildout
projection. The Project would not result in any new additional impacts that were not identified and
analyzed in the South ECR GPA EIR. Therefore, there is no further impact to be analyzed regarding
schools.
iv. Parks
The South ECR GPA EIR shows that South San Francisco has an adequate amount of proposed parkland
to meet the additional parkland needed at buildout to meet the General Plan parkland ratio standard of
3.0 acres per 1,000 new residents and one-half acre per 1,000 employees at buildout, resulting in less than
significant impacts. The proposed Project is entirely consistent with the South ECR GPA and EIR, and
therefore has been included in the South ECR GPA buildout projection. The Project would not require
the construction or expansion of any new park or recreation facilities, and therefore would not result in
any new additional impacts that were not identified and analyzed in the South ECR GPA EIR. Therefore,
there is no further impact to be analyzed regarding parks.

the performance of the circulation system, taking
into account all modes of transportation including
mass transit and non-motorized travel and
relevant components of the circulation system,
including but not limited to intersections, streets,
highways and freeways, pedestrian and bicycle
paths, and mass transit?
b) Conflict with an applicable congestion
management program, including, but not limited to
level of service standards and travel demand
measures, or other standards established by the
county congestion management agency for
designated roads or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including
either an increase in traffic levels or a change in
location that results in substantial safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design
feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous
intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm
equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
f) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs
regarding public transit, bicycle, or pedestrian
facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance
or safety of such facilities?
DISCUSSION
a, b) Transportation
This section analyzes the proposed Project’s transportation and traffic impacts and cumulative impacts to
level of service standards at roadway intersections and segments. The City’s General Plan and San Mateo
County (C/CAG) Congestion Management Plan (CMP) establish standards regarding traffic operations,
level of service, and street systems.
The South San Francisco General Plan includes the following standards:
180 El Camino Real– Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration
3-41
Policy 4.2-G-5: Make efficient use of existing transportation facilities and, through the
arrangement of land uses, improved alternate modes, and enhanced integration of various
transportation systems serving South San Francisco, strive to reduce the total vehicle-miles
traveled.
Policy 4.2-G-8: Strive to maintain LOS D or better on arterial and collector streets, at all
intersections, and on principal arterials in the CMP during peak hours.
Policy 4.2-G-9: Accept LOS E or F after finding that:
There is no practical and feasible way to mitigate the lower level of service; and
The uses resulting in the lower level of service are of clear, overall public benefit.
Table 3.8 shows the thresholds of road segments surrounding the Project site as established by C/CAG in
the CMP.

C/CAG also establishes the following standards:38
Freeway segments currently in compliance with the adopted LOS standard:
A project is considered to have a CMP impact if the project will cause the freeway segment to
operate at a level of service that violates the standard adopted in the CMP.
A project will be considered to have a CMP impact if the cumulative analysis indicates that
the combination of the proposed project and future cumulative traffic demand will result in
the freeway segment to operate at a level of service that violates the standard adopted in the
current CMP and the proposed project increases traffic demand on the freeway segment by
an amount equal to one percent or more of the segment capacity, or causes the freeway
segment volume-to-capacity ratio to increase by one percent.
Freeway segments currently not in compliance with the adopted LOS standard:
A project is considered to have a CMP impact if the project will add traffic demand equal to
one percent or more of the segment capacity or causes the freeway segment volume-to-
capacity ratio to increase by one percent, if the freeway segment is currently not in
compliance with the adopted LOS standard.

Under the Project condition, all nine intersections will operate at acceptable LOS D or better during the
AM and PM peak hours. Table 3.9 shows LOS for the Existing, the No Project with projected future
traffic, and the Project conditions with projected future traffic. It was noted that the westbound approach
of Noor Avenue at El Camino Real is expected to operate at LOS E during the p.m. peak hour; however,
since the City’s LOS criteria apply to the intersection as a whole which is operating acceptably at LOS A,
the LOS E operations on the side-street approach do not result in a significant impact.

The CMP sets the standard to be LOS D for I-280, LOS E for El Camino Real and LOS F for I-380. Table
3.10 shows that two of the eight roadway segments studied are expected to operate at unacceptable levels
during peak hour under Project condition. The two roadway segments include northbound p.m. peak
hour traffic and southbound a.m. peak hour traffic on I-280 between Sneath Lane and San Bruno Avenue,
which will operate unacceptably at LOS E, and northbound a.m. peak hour traffic on US 101 between San
Bruno Avenue and I-380, which will operate unacceptably at LOS F.

However, since these two roadway segments would have performed at unacceptable level of service at the
No Project condition, and the addition of Project-generated traffic is less than one percent of the road
capacity, the Project’s impact would be less than significant.

Though the westbound Noor Avenue approach would operate at LOS F, the intersection as a whole would
still perform at an acceptable level. Since the City’s operation standards are applied to the intersection as a
whole, not individual approaches, there would be no cumulative traffic impact at intersections.
For the five intersections that are identified as operating deficiently, it would be necessary to widen one or
more approaches to the impacted intersections to provide additional through and/or turn lanes. The need
for additional lanes varies by intersection and it should be noted that not all intersections would require
180 El Camino Real– Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration
3-45
the same level of widening to achieve acceptable operations. However, additional improvements beyond
these five intersections may be necessary to provide a consistent configuration of El Camino Real along
the corridor. The necessary capacity enhancements to the intersection would require acquisition of
additional right-of-way, relocation of utilities and modified access to adjacent properties. Furthermore,
the intersections are controlled by Caltrans, requiring all improvements to be approved by the State;
therefore implementation of the required mitigation measures is beyond the control of the City alone.
Policy 4.2-G-9 of the South San Francisco General Plan states that “if there is no practical and feasible way
to mitigate the lower level of service and the uses resulting in the lower level of service are of clear public
benefit” then LOS E or F is acceptable. As this Project provides clear public benefits by meeting the goals
of the Grand Boulevard Initiative Plan, implementing the South San Francisco General Plan Amendment,
and meeting the policies of the South San Francisco General Plan, the Project would not result in
significant impacts at these intersections. This finding is also consistent with the previously approved
South El Camino Real General Plan Amendments EIR.
This Project provides clear public benefits by fulfilling the following:
Meets the goals of the Grand Boulevard Initiative Plan39 by:
Targeting housing and job growth at a key intersection along the El Camino corridor;
Building compact mixed-use development and high-quality urban design and construction;
and
Strengthening pedestrian and bicycle connections with the corridor by providing bicycle
parking, interior pedestrian networks throughout and to El Camino and South Spruce
Avenue, and sidewalks and pedestrian entrances along Huntington Avenue to connect to the
San Bruno BART station.
Implements the South San Francisco General Plan Amendment.
Meets the policies of the South San Francisco General Plan:
Policy 2-G-7: Encourage mixed-use residential, retail, and office development in centers
where they would support transit, in locations where they would provide increased access to
neighborhoods that currently lack such facilities, and in corridors where such developments
can help to foster identity and vitality.
Policy 2-I-4: Require all new developments seeking an FAR bonus set forth in Table 2.2-2 to
achieve a progressively higher alternative mode usage. The requirements of the TDM
Program are detailed in the Zoning Ordinance.
Policy 3.4-G-2: Encourage development of a mix of uses, with pockets of concentrated activity
that provide focii and identity to the different parts of El Camino Real.
Policy 3.4-G-5: Encourage the implementation of the Guiding Principles of the Grand
Boulevard Initiative as adopted by the Grand Boulevard Task Force in April of 2007.
Policy 3.4-G-7: Develop the South El Camino area as a vibrant corridor with a variety of
residential and non-residential uses to foster a walkable and pedestrian-scaled environment.

Policy 3.4-1-24: Promote visually intricate development, using horizontal and vertical
building articulation that engages pedestrians; and diversity in color, materials, scale, texture,
and building volumes.
Policy 3.4-1-30: Require development be oriented to El Camino Real, with the ground floor of
buildings designed so that pedestrians can see shops, restaurants, and activities as they walk
along the sidewalk. The ground floor of buildings along Huntington, Noor, and South Spruce
avenues should also be designed to provide visual interest and promote pedestrian comfort.
Policy 4.3-I-4: Require provision of secure covered bicycle parking at all existing and future
multifamily residential, commercial, industrial, and office/institutional uses.
Housing Element Policy 1-9: The City shall maximize opportunities for residential
development, through infill and redevelopment of underutilized sites, without impacting
existing neighborhoods or creating conflicts with industrial operations.
Housing Element Policy 2-4: The City shall ensure that new development promotes quality
design and harmonizes with existing neighborhood surroundings.
Table 3.12 shows that at future cumulative volume, two freeway segments would perform at unacceptable
level of service. However, traffic generated by the Project represents less than one percent of freeway
capacity. Thus, the Project’s impact to freeway segments would be less than significant based on C/CAG
standards.

c) Air Traffic Patterns
The proposed Project would not change any air traffic patterns nor would it change the location of the
San Francisco International Airport. Therefore there will be no impacts on air traffic.
d) Incompatible Design Features or Incompatible Uses
The proposed Project would not increase hazards due to incompatible use or designs that would
negatively alter the public right-of-way. Clear sight lines would be maintained at the project driveways,
and any landscaping or signage would need to be either low-lying or setback from the project driveways as
required by South San Francisco Municipal Code Section 20.330.010 Parking Area Design and
Development Standards. Therefore, there will be no impact in regards to hazards.
e) Emergency Access
The proposed Project includes two driveways on South Spruce Avenue, one existing and one modified
driveway along El Camino Real, and modifies two driveways along Huntington Avenue to allow all
turning movements. Therefore, there will be no adverse impact in regard to emergency access.
f) Public Transit, Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
The Project supports the user of alternative transportation by providing sidewalks and street-oriented
retail along El Camino Real and South Spruce Avenue, Huntington Avenue, and through the provision of
bike racks near building entrances. The Project also includes sidewalks along the project frontage at El
Camino Real and South Spruce Avenue, and new pedestrian pathways that connect all new buildings and
parking areas to sidewalks along these main streets. Moreover, the Project’s street-oriented design (i.e.
continuous setbacks and street-facing facades) complements the walkability goals of the South San
Francisco El Camino Real Master Plan (2006). Additionally, the Project supports the goals of the Grand
Boulevard Initiative by placing retail and residential uses near existing SamTrans bus lines along El
Camino Real. Furthermore, a pedestrian entrance will be provided along Huntington Avenue to provide a
southern connection of the property (the closest point to the San Bruno BART station) to Huntington
Avenue (See Figure 2.7 Site Plan). The Project impact will be less than significant.

XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS — Would the
Project:
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of
the applicable Regional Water Quality Control
Board?
b) Require or result in the construction of new water
or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of
existing facilities, the construction of which could
cause significant environmental effects?
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm
water drainage facilities or expansion of existing
facilities, the construction of which could cause
significant environmental effects?
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve
the Project from existing entitlements and
resources, or are new or expanded entitlements
needed?
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater
treatment provider, which serves or may serve
the Project that it has adequate capacity to serve
the Project’s projected demand in addition to the
provider’s existing commitments?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted
capacity to accommodate the Project’s solid
waste disposal needs?
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and
regulations related to solid waste?
DISCUSSION
a, b, e) Wastewater
The proposed Project will be required to comply with all applicable regulations and would not cause an
exceedance of wastewater treatment requirements. The South ECR GPA EIR shows that projected
wastewater generation at buildout will be below the capacity allocated to the City of South San Francisco
at buildout, resulting in less than significant impacts. The proposed Project is entirely consistent with the
South ECR GPA and EIR, and therefore has been included in the South ECR GPA buildout projection.
The Project would not result in any new additional impacts that were not identified and analyzed in the
South ECR GPA EIR. Therefore, there is no further impact to be analyzed regarding wastewater.
c) Storm Water Drainage
The Project site is currently served by municipal storm sewers. The Project site is located within the
Colma Creek Flood Control Zone; however the Project site is not subject to hydromodification since the
Chapter 3: Environmental Checklist
3-50
majority of Colma Creek is lined. The proposed Project would not require new or expansion of
stormwater drainage facilities, resulting in no impact.
d) Water Supply
The proposed Project is entirely consistent with the South ECR GPA and EIR, and therefore has been
included in the South ECR GPA buildout projection. The South ECR GPA EIR estimated a 2000 city
population of 60,552, of which 49,807 or 82 percent were included in the service population of the South
San Francisco District for the California Water Service Company (Cal Water). Assuming the same
percentage of service population, the 2020 projected service population with the additional 2,410 persons
resulting from the South ECR GPA EIR was estimated at 57,678. Since then, a new 2010 Urban Water
Management Plan (UWMP) has been adopted by Cal Water. The 2010 UWMP projects a 2020 service
population of 58,297, which accommodates the 57,678 population projection estimated by the South ECR
GPA EIR.40
Since the South ECR GPA EIR was adopted, Senate Bill No. 7 (SBx7-7), also known as the 20x2020 policy
was signed into law in November 2009. SBx7-7 amended the State Water Code to require a 20 percent
reduction in urban per capita water use by December 31, 2020. The 2015 and 2020 district-specific targets
for South San Francisco District are 138 and 124 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), respectively, compared
to an average use of 140 gpcd between 2005 and 2010.
Since the 2010 UWMP includes water reduction measures to comply with SBx7-7, which the City and Cal
Water service areas must follow, and the 2010 UWMP accounts for the Project site, the Project would not
result in any new additional impacts that were not identified and analyzed in the South ECR GPA EIR.
Therefore, there is no further impact to be analyzed regarding water supply.
f, g) Solid Waste
The South ECR GPA EIR shows that the expected additional waste generated under the amendment is not
expected to strain existing landfill capacity. The proposed Project is entirely consistent with the South
ECR GPA and EIR, and therefore has been included in the South ECR GPA buildout projection. The
Project would not result in any new additional impacts that were not identified and analyzed in the South
ECR GPA EIR. Therefore, there is no further impact to be analyzed regarding solid waste.

XVII. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE —
Would the Project:
a) Have the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat
of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or
wildlife population to drop below self-
sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant
or animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range or a rare or endangered
plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
b) Have impacts that are individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively
considerable” means that the incremental
effects of a project are considerable when
viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, the effects of other current projects,
and the effects of probable future projects)?
c) Have environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
DISCUSSION
a, c) Quality of Environment and Adverse Effects on Human Beings
Impacts of the Project are considered to be less than significant with mandatory compliance with existing
federal, State and local standards and implementation of mitigation measures discussed in this Initial
Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration. Implementation of the Project would not degrade the quality and
extent of the environment nor result in adverse effects on human beings, provided the Project adheres to
all mandated policies, rules and regulations of all relevant governing bodies.
b) Cumulative Impacts
The proposed Project is entirely consistent with the South ECR GPA and accompanying EIR, which
included analysis regarding cumulative impacts. The Project would not result in any new additional
cumulative impacts other than those identified in the South ECR GPA EIR.

1 Introduction
PURPOSE
This document is the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Centennial Village mixed-use
development project at 180 El Camino Real. This document has been prepared by the City of South
San Francisco in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and pursuant
to the requirements of CEQA, California Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., and the
CEQA Guidelines found in California Code of Regulations Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15000 et
seq., as amended. The City of South San Francisco is the lead agency as defined by CEQA for
environmental review of this project.
The Final Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) includes the Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated
Negative Declaration, Comments on and Responses to Comments on the Initial Study/Proposed
MND, and minor corrections and clarifications to the Proposed MND.
The primary purpose of the Final MND is to revise and refine the environmental analysis in the
Initial Study/Proposed MND, published on April 12, 2013, in response to comments received
during the public review period. This document, which includes the Initial Study/Proposed MND
as an appendix, constitutes the Final MND on the project. It amends and incorporates by reference
the Initial Study/Proposed MND, which is available as a separately-bound document from the City
of South San Francisco Planning Division at 315 Maple Avenue, in South San Francisco, and also
online at http://www.ssf.net/index.aspx?nid=367.
PROCESS
Section 15073 of the State CEQA Guidelines indicate that a lead agency shall provide a public
review period for a proposed MND pursuant to Section 151045(b) of not less than 30 days from
when submitted to the State Clearinghouse.
The Initial Study/Proposed MND for the project at 180 El Camino Real was circulated for the
required 30-day public review period beginning on Friday, April 12, 2013 and ending on May 13,
2013. In addition, the City of South San Francisco prepared and circulated to all interested agencies
and individuals a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration.
State CEQA Guidelines Section 15074(b) requires that the decision-making body of the Lead
Agency consider the Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration together with any comments
received during the public review process prior to approving a project.
Six comment letters were received regarding the proposed project. Chapter 2 of this document
contains the comments received; Chapter 3 contains the responses to these comments; and Chapter

3 Responses to Comments on the Initial
Study and Proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration
This chapter includes responses to each comment, and in the same order, as presented in Chapter
2. The responses are marked with the same number-letter combination as the comment to which
they respond, as shown in the margin of the comment letters.
1-a: Comment 1-a lists San Mateo County Health System’s updates to the Environmental Site
Assessment cited in Section 3.8, Hazards and Hazardous Materials of the Proposed MND.
The Proposed MND has been revised to reflect these updates. They are:
Groundwater monitoring is performed semi-annually, not quarterly.
Groundwater monitoring is being performed to assess the extent, stability, and risk of
the contamination, not for case closure.
Six wells are monitored, not five. In addition, SMCHS noted that it could support
destruction of these wells to facilitate development, provided that necessary monitoring
wells are reinstalled when construction is complete.
Hydrocarbon concentrations higher than the stated 62,000 micrograms per liter (ug/L)
were reported.
SMCHS notes that there were hydrocarbon concentrations reported in shallow soil and
soil vapor that exceed Environmental Screening Levels established by the Regional
Water Quality Control Board.
The TPH-gas concentrations in groundwater exceed 100 ug/L over a distance of at least
120 feet from the monitoring well MW-1R, rather than the stated concentration of less
than 100 ug/L at a location 30 feet from the monitoring well.
Significant concentrations of hydrocarbons have been reported in soil as shallow as 2.5
feet below grade, not 10 to 40 feet below grade.
1-b: Comment 1-b proposes changes to the Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 listed in Section 3.8,
Hazards and Hazardous Materials. The Proposed MND has been revised to reflect the
changes. They are:
Bullet #2 under Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 now references “soil and groundwater
sampling reports” rather than “groundwater monitoring report”.
City of South San Francisco
180 El Camino Real
6
Bullet #2 under Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 now includes the following condition:
“The project applicant must obtain GPP staff approval of the soil management plan
discussed in the GPP staff letter dated April 9, 2013, before any soil excavation
commences [in] the vicinity of Buildings A and B”.
Bullet #3 under Mitigation Measure HAZ-1 now includes the following condition:
“The applicant will incorporate into the design of Building A remediation wells and
appurtenant equipment (e.g. piping) approved by GPP staff so residual hydrocarbons
can be remediated during building occupancy to levels that no longer pose a significant
risk to human health, environment, and water quality as determined by GPP staff or
the State Water Resources Control Board”.
2-a: Comment 2-a points out that although the development will be situated within noise
contours currently incompatible with new residential development per ALUCP policy NP-
4, the ALUCP General Policy GP-5.3 grants an exception to noise consistency evaluations
for development actions in the review process before the effective date of the current
ALUCP, and 180 El Camino Real qualifies for this exception. No change to the Proposed
MND is required.
2-b: The comment points out that while a portion of the project site is situated in Safety Zone 4
– Outer Approach/Departure Zone, the project does not propose any incompatible uses.
No change to the Proposed MND is required.
2-c: The comment states that the project is subject to notification of proposed construction for
projects that may have a potential effect on air navigation facilities. The comment suggests
that FAA Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, be submitted by
the project sponsor through the FAA’s Obstruction Evaluation/Airport Airspace Analysis
website, and indicates that a Determination of No Hazard from the FAA should be
obtained prior to project approval. No change to the Proposed MND is required.
3-a: The comment requires that the project proponent submit drainage calculations to show
that the post development discharge rate from the site does not exceed the existing rate. If it
is determined that the future discharge rate exceeds the existing rate, the comment requires
that an on-site storm water detention system be designed and incorporated into the
project. A mitigation measure, HYDRO-1, has been added to the Proposed MND.
3-b: The comment is a request that trash management measures be incorporated into the design
elements of the storm drainage systems and appurtenances. The Proposed MND has been
revised to add this information. This information has been added as a requirement in
Mitigation Measure HYDRO-1.
4-a: The first paragraph of this comment is the same as Comment 2-a. The second paragraph
states that multi-family uses on the project site are subject to including adequate sound
insulation in the building design to achieve an interior noise level of 45 db CNEL in all
habitable rooms and granting an avigation easement to the City of South San Francisco. No
change to the Proposed MND is required.
Final Mitigated Negative Declaration
7
4-b: This comment is the same as comment 2-b. No change to the Proposed MND is required.
4-c: This comment is the same as comment 2-c. No change to the Proposed MND is required.
5-a: The comment requests that the project’s traffic impact analysis be updated to reflect 2035
Cumulative Conditions. There is, however, no specific requirement to analyze traffic
impacts to a cumulative year of 2035, and, typically, the cumulative forecast year used is
that which corresponds to the City’s General Plan, which in this case is 2030. Furthermore,
a 2030 horizon is adequate as the 180 El Camino Real project was included in the GP
Amendment and is consistent with the GP Amendment land use plan. Therefore, no
change has been made to the Proposed MND.
5-b: The comment points out that any work or traffic control that encroaches into the state
ROW requires an encroachment permit issued by Caltrans. No change to the Proposed
MND is required.
6-a: The comment states that the City of San Bruno supports this type of mixed-use
development along the El Camino Real Corridor. No change to the Proposed MND is
required.

4 Revisions to the Initial Study and Proposed
Mitigated Negative Declaration
This chapter includes the revisions to the Initial Study and Proposed Mitigated Negative
Declaration. The revisions have been made in response to comments or based on review by the
MND preparers. The revisions appear here in the order in which they appear in the Proposed
MND. Text additions are noted in underline and text deletions appear in strikeout.

3.8 3-26 The second paragraph under the subheading “a-d) Hazardous Materials” is amended as
follows:
Though the Project site is not listed as a hazardous site per Government Code Section
65962.5,24 the Phase I Environmental Assessment reveals former uses that may have resulted
in residual concentrations of subsurface soil contamination on site from former vehicle repair
uses prior to Firestone and an open leaking underground storage tank (LUST) site from
former Unocal service station use that is currently undergoing groundwater monitoring at a
quarterly semi-annual basis to obtain case closure assess the extent, stability, and risk of the
contamination.25 The Assessment report shows that impacts from former leaking hydraulic
lifts at Firestone appear to be less than significant, but recommends continuous monitoring
for presence of volatile organic compounds and heavy range hydrocarbon concentration
through groundwater sampling and analysis at existing monitoring wells. Currently five six
wells are being monitored (four three of them twice a year and one three of them once a
year) at the former Unocal service station site. The monitoring wells are located in front and
behind the Firestone building, where proposed commercial Building A and a portion of
surface parking area will be located. Based on the latest groundwater monitoring report by
Stantec, which shows results of groundwater monitoring and sampling as well as analysis from
soil samples performed on September 20, 2011 and January 6, 2012, hydrocarbons
concentrations such as gasoline range organics were reported as higher than as 62,000
micrograms per liter (ug/L) with depth of highest soil impact ranging from 10 feet to 40 as
shallow as 2.5 feet below grade.26 The groundwater monitoring report shows that the highest
concentration of gasoline range organics is located just west of the service bays at Firestone
and decreases in concentration with less than remains in excess of 100 ug/L detected at a
location 30 over a distance of at least 120 feet from the monitoring well MW-1R located
west of the Firestone service bays. (See Figure 5 of Stantec Report in the Appendix).
Additionally, hydrocarbon concentrations reported in shallow soil and soil vapor significantly
exceeded Environmental Screening Levels established by the Regional Water Quality Control
Board. Since the areas identified by the Stantec report as having concentration of
hydrocarbons are not proposed to include residential units, the following mitigation measures
prevent potential leakage of contaminated soil into future ground-level retail uses. SMCHS
also noted that it could support destruction of the monitoring wells to facilitate development,
provided that necessary monitoring wells are reinstalled when construction is complete.
3.8 3-27 The second bullet under “Mitigation Measure HAZ-1” is amended as follows:
To ensure safety from potential harm to construction crew during excavation and
construction, the Project applicant will determine the depth of soil contamination from the
latest soil and groundwater monitoring sampling reports for the site of former Unocal service
prior to demolition and grading at the Project site. Appropriate safety and engineering
controls will be taken per the Health and Safety Code (Cal OSHA regulations California
Code of Regulations, Title 8) to protect construction crew and the public. The project
applicant must obtain GPP staff approval of the soil management plan discussed in the GPP
staff letter dated April 9, 2013, before any soil excavation commences [in] the vicinity of
Buildings A and B.

3.8 3-27 The third bullet under “Mitigation Measure HAZ-1” is amended as follows:
To mitigate potential migration of volatile contamination to indoor air, the Project will
include active or passive vapor control systems over the area of the former Unocal site
(proposed Building A area) as shown in Figure 3-1 as approved with a vapor mitigation system
approved by SMCHSGPP. The applicant will incorporate into the design of Building A
remediation wells and appurtenant equipment (e.g. piping) approved by GPP staff so residual
hydrocarbons can be remediated during building occupancy to levels that no longer pose a
significant risk to human health, environment, and water quality as determined by GPP staff or
the State Water Resources Control Board.
3.9 3-30 A mitigation measure is added following the subheading “c, d, e) Drainage”:
Mitigation Measure HYDRO-1:
The project proponent is required to:
Submit drainage calculations to demonstrate that the post development discharge
rate from the site does not exceed the existing rate. If it is determined that the
future discharge rate exceeds the existing rate, an on-site storm water detention
system must be designed and incorporated into the project.
Incorporate trash management measures into the design elements of the storm
drainage systems and appurtenances, to the extent feasible. Trash collecting devices
should be installed at storm drain inlets and maintained by the owner.

5 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) fulfills Public Resources Code
Section 21081.6 which requires adoption of a mitigation monitoring program when
mitigation measures are required to avoid or reduce a proposed projects significant
environmental effects. The MMRP is only applicable if the City of South San Francisco decides
to approve the proposed Project.
The MMRP is organized to correspond to environmental issues and significant impacts
discussed in the IS/MND. The table below is arranged in the following five columns:
Recommended mitigation measures;
Timing for implementation of the mitigation measures;
Monitoring action;
Party or parties responsible for monitoring the implementation of the mitigation
measures; and,

CULT-1: The Project Applicant shall incorporate
the following provisions into the grading and
construction contracts as a condition of approval
of permit:
Prior to ground disturbance, the depths of
impact for the proposed Project be adequately
determined to assess locations that have the
potential to disturb sensitive landforms. This
information should be compared with
archival research to determine the
appropriate locations for geo-archaeological
testing. A report containing “next-step”
recommendations should be provided.15
Prior to the initiation of construction or
ground-disturbing activities, the Project
Applicant will ensure that all construction
personnel involved in ground-disturbing
activities shall receive environmental training
from a qualified archaeologist that will
include discussion of what constitutes cultural
resources, the possibility of buried cultural

ensure that project personnel involved in
ground disturbing activities are informed that
collecting significant historical or unique
archaeological resources discovered during
development of the project is prohibited by
law. Prehistoric or Native American resources
can include chert or obsidian flakes, projectile

resources can include nails, bottles, ceramics
or other items often found in refuse deposits
and buried features, such as privy pits and
foundations;
If unknown potential or unique archaeological
resources are encountered during
construction, Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
section 15064.5 (f), “provisions for historical
or unique archaeological resources
accidentally discovered during construction”
should be instituted. Work should be
temporarily halted within 50 feet or as
deemed appropriate by the archaeologist and
workers should avoid altering the materials
and their context until a qualified professional
archaeologist has evaluated the significance of
the find and provided appropriate
recommendations. Project personnel should
not collect cultural resources.”
If any find is determined to be significant,
representatives of the Project proponent
and/or lead agency and the qualified
archaeologist shall meet to determine the
appropriate avoidance measures or other
appropriate measure, with the ultimate
determination to be made by the City, which
shall assure implementation of appropriate
measures recommended by the archaeologist.
The City shall determine whether avoidance is
necessary and feasible in light of factors such
as the nature of the find, project design, costs,
and other considerations. If avoidance is
unnecessary or infeasible, other appropriate
measures (e.g., data recovery) such as plans
for methodical excavation of the portions of
the site shall be instituted and results in
detailed technical reports for submittal to the
Northwest Information Center. Work may
proceed on other parts of the project site

CULT-2: In the event of an unanticipated
discovery of a paleontological resource during
construction, excavations within 50 feet of the find
or as deemed appropriate by a paleontologist shall

discovery is examined by a qualified paleontologist
(per Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards
[SVP 1995,1996]). A qualified paleontologist shall
document the discovery as needed, evaluate the
potential resource, and assess the significance of
the find under the criteria set forth in Section
15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines. The
paleontologist shall notify the appropriate
agencies to determine procedures that would be
followed before construction is allowed to resume
at the location of the find. If the City determines
that avoidance is not feasible, the paleontologist
shall prepare an excavation plan for mitigating the
effect of the project on the qualities that make the
resource important, and such plan shall be
implemented. The plan shall be submitted to the
City for review and approval.

To ensure safety from potential harm to
construction crew during excavation and
construction, the Project applicant will
determine the depth of soil contamination
from the latest soil and groundwater sampling
reports for the site of former Unocal service
prior to demolition and grading at the Project
site. Appropriate safety and engineering
controls will be taken per the Health and
Safety Code (Cal OSHA regulations California
Code of Regulations, Title 8) to protect
construction crew and the public. The project
applicant must obtain GPP staff approval of
the soil management plan discussed in the
GPP staff letter dated April 9, 2013, before
any soil excavation commences in the vicinity
of Buildings A and B.

To mitigate potential migration of volatile
contamination to indoor air, the Project will
include active or passive vapor control
systems over the area of the former Unocal
site (proposed Building A area) as shown in
Figure 3-1 as approved with a vapor
mitigation system approved by SMCHSGPP.
The applicant will incorporate into the design
of Building A remediation wells and
appurtenant equipment (e.g. piping)
approved by GPP staff so residual
hydrocarbons can be remediated during
building occupancy to levels that no longer
pose a significant risk to human health,
environment, and water quality as
determined by GPP staff or the State Water
Resources Control Board.
HYDRO-1:
The project proponent is required to:
Submit drainage calculations to demonstrate
that the post development discharge rate
from the site does not exceed the existing
rate. If it is determined that the future
discharge rate exceeds the existing rate, an
on-site storm water detention system must be
designed and incorporated into the project.
Incorporate trash management measures into
the design elements of the storm drainage
systems and appurtenances, to the extent
feasible. Trash collecting devices should be
installed at storm drain inlets and maintained
by the owner.

Technical Memorandum
Date: July 17, 2013
To: Billy Gross, Associate Planner,
City of South San Francisco
Bill Mitchell,
WT Mitchell Group Inc.
Project No.: 072-036 T002
From: Atul Patel, P.E
Vishnu Gandluru
Jurisdiction: City of South San Francisco
Subject: TDM Program for the proposed mixed use development in South San Francisco
The purpose of this technical memorandum is to document our Transportation Demand
Management (TDM, also known as Mobility Management) recommendation for the proposed mixed
use development at the southeast corner of intersection of El Camino Real and South Spruce
Avenue in the City of South San Francisco. The proposed project consists of 234 apartments,
20,000 square feet of office space and 190,000 square feet retail.
The City of South San Francisco requires that all nonresidential development expected to generate
100 or more average daily trips implement TDM plan to reduce single occupant vehicle (SOV)
travel and to increase the use of rideshare, transit, and bicycle trips to and from the project site
during peak traffic periods. The overall objective of this TDM Program is to reduce the expected
number of project peak hour trips generated by the proposed development. The objective is
achieved by providing commute alternatives to driving alone and strategies that encourage the use
of these alternatives. Commute alternatives include carpooling and vanpooling, public and private
transit, bicycling and walking, and other non-single occupant vehicle options.
TDM is a general term for various strategies that increase transportation system efficiency. TDM
treats mobility as a means to an end, rather than an end in itself, and so helps individuals and
communities meet their transport needs in the most efficient way, which often reduces total
vehicle traffic. TDM prioritizes travel to increase overall system efficiency, based on the value and
costs of each trip, giving higher value trips and lower cost modes priority over lower value and
higher cost travel. For example, a higher value trip would be bicycling to work while a lower value
trip would be driving alone to work. It emphasizes the movement of people and goods, rather
than motor vehicles, and so gives priority to public transit, ridesharing and non-motorized travel,
particularly under the congested urban conditions.
There are many different TDM strategies with a variety of transportation impacts. Some improve
the transportation options available to consumers. Some cause changes in trip scheduling, route,
destination or mode. Others reduce the need for physical travel through more efficient land use,
or transportation substitutes. TDM is an increasingly common response to transportation
problems. Although most individual TDM strategies only affect a small portion of total travel, the
cumulative impacts of a comprehensive TDM program can be significant.

Project Description
The design statement respects the historic tradition of South San Francisco, and recall the imagery of
those architectural styles.
The buildings at the corner of Spruce and El Camino create a nice urban statement, with two story
building forms that define the street edge and a nice presentation to the passerby, and also provide a
prominent node for the project. A mix of Victorian and more classical elements are incorporated here.
This theme is continued for the apartments on the east side above the retail and is broken down
architecturally to create interest along the façade, including the tower element on the south side of the
building as a landmark feature...
The retail buildings create the south edge of the project continuing down to El Camino Real
The buildings are further broken down with varied materials including a mix of stucco with a varied mix
of colors, roof tiles, fabric awnings, which all blend into the urban fabric and context.
Pedestrian amenities are another critical component of the project, and we have indicated decorative
lights, benches, decorative signage, street trees, etc.
