Report regarding a Resolution authorizing application for,and receipt of,State Prohousing Incentive Program
funds. (Nell Selander, Economic & Community Development Director)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing application for,and receipt of,
Prohousing Incentive Program funds from the State of California Housing and Community Development
Department (HCD).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In summer 2023,the City received a Prohousing designation from HCD.This designation followed an
application made by the City to HCD,demonstrating that it had sufficient policies and programs in place to
merit the designation.The City pursued the designation because it results in priority points for various State
grant applications that many of our affordable housing developers pursue,such as the Affordable Housing and
Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Grant and the Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG).
Another benefit of the Prohousing designation is that the City has access to a special allocation of State funding
only available to Prohousing-designated jurisdictions.This program is called the Prohousing Incentive Program
(PIP).To date,just two rounds of PIP funding have been made available and the City is eligible for this year’s
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA),which includes $9.5 million in funding.Each Prohousing jurisdiction
has a maximum formula award.Based on the City’s designation and Prohousing score,the City is eligible for a
maximum award of $890,000.Designated jurisdictions with an eligible application that do not receive an award
in this NOFA round are put at the top of the priority list in the next NOFA round,so the City’s likelihood of
getting an award increases over time.
Proposed Project
Staff submitted the attached PIP application on March 15,2024,proposing to use the prospective $890,000
award to acquire a single room occupancy (SRO)building within the next two years.The purpose of this
acquisition would be to create or preserve affordable housing in the community.The proposal is aligned with
recent Council actions,including approval of the acquisition of several buildings containing SRO units on
Grand Avenue.Additionally,one other SRO owner has reached out to City staff about selling,so there would be
a backup project,should the City need one.Staff has also found that once awarded funds,HCD is often quite
accommodating regarding shifting project scope to achieve the same outcome -creation or preservation of
affordable housing.A two-year time horizon to spend the funds would provide the City some flexibility in
deploying the funds.
The purpose of this staff report and associated resolution is to authorize the application and the potential receipt

The purpose of this staff report and associated resolution is to authorize the application and the potential receipt
of funds.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund associated with adopting this resolution.Should the grant be awarded,it
would likely be used to replace dollars that the City would otherwise spend from its Commercial Linkage Fee
Fund (Fund 823).If awarded,staff would return to Council to accept and appropriate the funding and for
further guidance on the project on which to spend the funds.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends Council adopt a Resolution authorizing application for, and receipt of, PIP funds from HCD.

San Francisco General Plan and General Plan EIR,including all amendments and updates thereto;the South

21080(e) and § 21082.2) (“Record”), the City of South San Francisco City Council hereby finds as follows:
A.General Findings.
1.The foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this Ordinance.
3.By separate resolution,an environmental determination has been approved in accordance with
CEQA,finding that the 2023 Addendum to the 2015 IS/MND is the appropriate CEQA
document for the proposed Zoning Text Amendment.
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 the Chief Planner.
B.Zoning Text Amendment Findings
1.The zoning amendments are consistent with the adopted General Plan because they strengthen
and promote economic development objectives and actively market South San Francisco.The proposed text
amendments related to the regulation of the number of digital billboards permitted in the City along Highway
101 will remain consistent with the City’s General Plan vision for community and economic development and
will not impede achievement of any of the goals,policies,or land use designations established in the General
Plan.
2.The zoning amendments related to the number of digital billboards allowed in the City would
only affect properties in non-residential districts adjacent to U.S.Highway 101 and have been designed to be
appropriate for surrounding uses.The proposed standards would generally be suitable in terms of architectural
compatibility,consistency with area character,legibility,readability,finish and visibility,and other
considerations deemed relevant by City Council because appropriate performance standards for digital
billboards,including operational limitations related to static messages,maximum lighting levels,a requirement
for a light sensing device that adjusts the sign brightness as ambient light conditions change,and location
limitations,have been included and would be applied to projects on a case-by-case basis to minimize visual
impacts.The suitability for the potential digital billboard sites was appropriately analyzed in the applicable
environmental documents.
3.The zoning amendments related to digital billboards would not result in any change of zoning
districts and therefore would not be detrimental to the use of land in any adjacent zone.
SECTION II.AMENDMENTS.
The City Council amends the following section of the South San Francisco Municipal Code to read as follows
(with text in strikeout indicating deletion and double underline indicating addition).Sections and subsections

(c) Inspecting and providing acceptance of or comments on all work by OFI that requires

(d) Providing any necessary documents within the City’s possession or preparing documents
or written consents that are, in the City’s sole discretion, reasonably necessary for OFI to

Caltrans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision is not intended to restrict the
City’s discretion in considering or evaluating the Digital Billboard Project Approvals.
OFI shall provide or submit, and shall cause its planners, engineers and other consultants to provide
or submit, to the City in a timely manner all documents, applications, plans and other information
necessary for the City to carry out its obligations hereunder. OFI shall make a deposit as determined

(a) OFI shall pay customary permit fees and any applicable gross receipts business license tax,
in the event the City enacts such a tax. No additional fees, mitigations, conditions,
exactions, dedications, fees or otherwise, whether adopted through the exercise of police
power, the taxing power or any other authority, shall be imposed by the City with respect
to the construction, operation, repair or maintenance of the Digital Billboard except as
provided for herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no fee or permit shall be
required for any change of copy, or customary, routine maintenance in connection with the

(b) For and in consideration of the mutual rights and responsibilities provided in this

City the annual amount of fifty one thousand dollars ($51,000.00) per Digital Billboard
face per year (“Annual Payment”), payable on the first business day of the month following
the Commencement Date and on the anniversary of such date each succeeding year. The
Annual Payment will increase by three percent (3%) per year on the anniversary of the
Commencement Date. Annual Payment shall be made until the earlier of the expiration of
this Agreement or the date upon which this Agreement is terminated. If the City ever adopts
a gross receipts tax, OFI’s annual payment of such gross receipts tax shall be deducted

gross receipts tax is less than Annual Payment, OFI shall pay the remainder to the City,
resulting in an annual payment to the City of not less than the Annual Payment for the
Digital Billboard as illustrated below:
If the Annual Payment equals one-hundred and two thousand dollars ($102,000.00) and
the gross receipts tax obligation equals twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00), OFI shall
pay the City twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) for the gross receipts tax obligation and
eighty-two thousand dollars ($82,000.00) for the Annual Payment obligation for a total
payment of one-hundred and two thousand dollars ($102,000.00).

Billboard Project Approvals, or the Digital Billboard Project, including without limitation

Digital Billboard face occurs which is beyond OFI’s control, or (5) OFI is prevented by
law or government order or action from constructing, operating, or maintaining the Digital

government agencies to issue all approvals or a government agency’s decision to condemn
the Property, the Annual Payment for such face shall cease and no further amounts shall
be due or payable by OFI to the City with respect to such face after such date under this
Section 8(b). In the event OFI elects in its sole discretion to replace a Digital Face on the
Digital Billboard with a printed billboard face beyond those four reasons enumerated in
this subsection, OFI’s obligation to pay the full Annual Payment of one-hundred and two
thousand dollars ($102,000.00) per year shall continue.
(c) For and in consideration of the mutual rights and responsibilities provided in this
Agreement, OFI agrees to pay the City a one-time non-refundable payment of one hundred

permits and approvals and any other required permits and approvals necessary for the
construction and operation of the Digital Billboard Project, including but not limited to
the Digital Billboard Project Appr ovals, and (2) the Digital Billboard Project is fully
operational with a permanent power supply.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any sums already paid to the City by OFI during
the year in which early termination or expiration has occurred shall be final and OFI shall
not be entitled to any reimbursement for those sums.

of the notice to cure the default or to reasonably commence the procedures or actions
needed to cure the default; provided, however, that if such default is not capable of being
cured within such thirty (30) business day period but a cure is commenced within such
thirty (30) business day period, the defaulting Party shall have such additional time to
complete the cure as is reasonably necessary.
(f) In the event that either Party elects to terminate this Agreement due to default of the other
Party, then OFI agrees that it shall remove the above-ground portions of the Digital
Billboard Project within ninety (90) days from the date of termination, unless OFI and
City have entered into a subsequent written agreement, upon terms mutually acceptable
to both Parties, that allows the Digital Billboard Project to remain.
20. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs
(a) Action by Party. If legal action by either Party is brought because of breach of this
Agreement or to enforce a provision of this Agreement, the prevailing Party is entitled to
reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
(b) Action by Third Party. If any person or entity not a party to this Agreement initiates any
legal or equitable action or proceeding to challenge the validity of any provision of this
Agreement or the validity or implementation of the Digital Billboard Project Approvals or
of the IS/MND (“Project Approval Challenge”), the Parties shall promptly notify the
other Party of such claim and each party shall cooperate with the efforts of OFI to defend
such action or proceeding. OFI agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including
reasonable legal costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith. The
City will not voluntarily assist the opposing party in any such claim or take any position
adverse to OFI in connection with such claim. In the event of a Project Approval Challenge,
OFI shall have the option to return any Digital Billboard face to a conventional non-digital
display and the City shall not be entitled to claim any lost revenues or damages as a result
of such election by OFI.

21. Severability
If any material term or condition of this Agreement is for any reason held by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, and if the same constitutes a material change in the
consideration for this Agreement, then either Party may elect in writing to invalidate this entire
Agreement, and thereafter this entire Agreement shall be deemed null and void and of no further
force or effect following such election.
22. No Third Parties Benefited
No person other than the City, OFI, and their respective successors is intended to or shall have any
right or claim under this Agreement, this Agreement being for the sole benefit and protection of
the Parties and their respective successors. Similarly, no amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement shall require the consent or acknowledgment of any person not a Party or successor
to this Agreement.
23. Binding Effect of Agreement
The provisions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties originally named
herein and their respective successors and assigns.
24. Relationship of Parties
It is understood that this Agreement is a contract that has been negotiated and voluntarily entered
into by the City and OFI and that OFI is not an agent of the City. The Parties do not intend to create
a partnership, joint venture or any other joint business relationship by this Agreement. The City
and OFI hereby renounce the existence of any form of joint venture or partnership between them,
and agree that nothing contained herein or in any document executed in connection herewith shall
be construed as making the City and OFI joint venturers or partners. Neither OFI nor any of OFI’s
agents or contractors are or shall be considered to be agents of the City in connection with the
performance of OFI’s obligations under this Agreement.
25. Bankruptcy
The obligations of this Agreement shall not be dischargeable in bankruptcy.
26. Mortgagee Protection: Certain Rights of Cure.
(a) Mortgagee Protection. The Parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not prevent
or limit OFI from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvement
thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device to securing financing.
The City acknowledges that the lenders providing such financing may require certain
Agreement modifications and City agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet
with OFI and representatives of such lenders to negotiate in good faith any such request
for modification. This Agreement shall be superior and senior to all liens placed upon the
Property by OFI or any portion thereof after the date on which this Agreement or a
memorandum of this Agreement is recorded with the San Mateo County Recorder,
66
Page 16 of 23
Development Agreement
OFI
__________, 2024
20177546.10
including the lien of any deed of trust or mortgage (“Mortgage”). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no breach hereof shall defeat, invalidate, diminish or impair the lien of any
Mortgage made in good faith and for value, but all of the terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement shall be binding upon and effective against all persons and entities,
including all deed of trust beneficiaries or mortgagees (“Mortgagees”), who acquire title to
OFI’s interest in the Property or any portion thereof by foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed in
lieu of foreclosure or otherwise.
(b) Mortgagee Not Obligated. No foreclosing Mortgagee shall have any obligation or duty
under this Agreement to construct or complete the construction of any improvements
required by this Agreement, or to pay for or guarantee construction or completion thereof.
The City, upon receipt of a written request therefor from a foreclosing Mortgagee, shall
permit the Mortgagee to succeed to the rights and obligations of OFI under this Agreement,
provided that all defaults by OFI hereunder that are reasonably susceptible of being cured
are cured by the Mortgagee as soon as is reasonably possible. The foreclosing Mortgagee
thereafter shall comply with all of the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) Notice of Default to Mortgagee. If the City receives notice from a Mortgagee requesting
a copy of any notice of default given to OFI hereunder and specifying the address for
service thereof, the City shall deliver to the Mortgagee concurrently with service thereof
to OFI, all notices given to OFI describing all claims by the City that OFI has defaulted
hereunder. If the City determines that OFI is in noncompliance with this Agreement, the
City also shall serve notice of noncompliance on the Mortgagee, concurrently with service
thereof on OFI. Until such time as the lien of the Mortgage has been extinguished, the City
shall:
i. Take no action to terminate this Agreement or exercise any other remedy under
this Agreement, unless the Mortgagee shall fail, within thirty (30) days of receipt
of the notice of default or notice of noncompliance, to cure or remedy or commence
to cure or remedy such default or noncompliance; provided, however, that if such
default or noncompliance is of a nature that cannot be remedied by the Mortgagee
or is of a nature that can only be remedied by the Mortgagee after such Mortgagee
has obtained possession of and title to the Property, by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
or by foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings, then such default or
noncompliance shall be deemed to be remedied by the Mortgagee if, within
ninety (90) days after receiving the notice of default or notice of noncompliance
from the City, (i) the Mortgagee shall have acquired title to and possession of the
Property, by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or shall have commenced foreclosure or
other appropriate proceedings, and (ii) the Mortgagee diligently prosecutes any
such foreclosure or other proceedings to completion.
ii. If the Mortgagee is prohibited from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or
other appropriate proceedings by reason of any process or injunction issued by any
court or by reason of any action taken by any court having jurisdiction over any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving OFI, then the times specified
above for commencing or prosecuting such foreclosure or other proceedings shall
be extended for the period of such prohibition.

20177546.10
(d) Performance by Mortgagee. Each Mortgagee shall have the right, but not the obligation,
at any time prior to termination of this Agreement, to do any act or thing required of OFI
under this Agreement, and to do any act or thing not in violation o f this Agreement, that
may be necessary or proper in order to prevent termination of this Agreement. All things
so done and performed by a Mortgagee shall be as effective to prevent a termination of this
Agreement as the same would have been if done and performed by OFI instead of by the
Mortgagee. No action or inaction by a Mortgagee pursuant to this Agreement shall relieve
OFI of its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Mortgagee’s Consent to Modifications. Subject to the sentence immediately following, the
City shall not consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement unless OFI
provides the City with written evidence of each Mortgagee’s consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, to the amendment or modification of this Agreement being
sought. Each Mortgagee shall be deemed to have consented to such amendment or
modification if it does not object to the proposed amendment or modification by written
notice given to the City within thirty (30) days from the date written notice of such
proposed amendment or modification is given by the City or OFI to the Mortgagee. If such
notice of the proposed amendment or modification is given solely by OFI, then OFI shall
also provide the City with reasonable evidence of the delivery of such notice to the
Mortgagee.
27. Estoppel Certificate
Either Party from time to time may deliver written notice to the other Party requesting written
certification that, to the knowledge of the certifying Party, (i) this Agreement is in full force and
effect and constitutes a binding obligation of the Parties; (ii) this Agreement has not been amended
or modified either orally or in writing, or, if it has been amended or modified, specifying the nature
of the amendments or modifications; and (iii) the requesting Party is not in default in the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or if in default, describing therein the nature
and monetary amount, if any, of the default. A Party receiving a request hereunder shall endeavor
to execute and return the certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof and shall in all events
execute and return the certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof. Failure of a Party to
return a requested certificate in a timely manner shall not be deemed a default of the Party’s
obligations under this Agreement and no cause of action shall arise based on such failure, but such
Party shall thereupon be deemed to have certified that the statements in clauses (i) through (iii) of
this Section are true, and the requesting Party and any third parties shall be entitled to rely upon
such deemed certification. The City Manager shall have the right to execute any such certificate
requested by OFI hereunder provided the certificate is requested within six (6) months of any
annual or special review. The City acknowledges that a certificate hereunder may be relied upon
by permitted transferees and Mortgagees. At the request of OFI, the certificates provided by the
City establishing the status of this Agreement with respect to any lot or parcel shall be in recordable
form, and OFI shall have the right to record the certificate for the affected portion of the Property
at OFI’s cost.
28. Force Majeure
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, either Party shall be excused for
68
Page 18 of 23
Development Agreement
OFI
__________, 2024
20177546.10
the period of any delay in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, except the
payment of money, to the extent such performance is prevented or delayed by one or more
of the following specific causes beyond such Party’s control: major weather differences
from the normal weather conditions for the South San Francisco area, war, acts of God or
of the public enemy, fires, explosions, floods, earthquakes, pandemics, epidemics,
invasions by non-United States armed forces, failure of transportation due to no fault of the
Parties, unavailability of equipment, supplies, materials or labor when such unavailability
occurs despite the applicable Party’s good faith efforts to obtain same (good faith includes
the present and actual ability to pay market rates for said equipment, materials, supplies and
labor), strikes of employees other than OFI, freight embargoes, sabotage, riots, acts of
terrorism, acts of the government, and litigation initiated by a non-Party challenging this
Agreement or any of the Digital Billboard Project’ approvals or entitlements. The Party
claiming such extension of time to perform shall send written notice of the claimed
extension to the other Party within thirty (30) days from the commencement of the cause
entitling the Party to the extension.
29. Eminent Domain
If the Digital Billboard or the Property, or any part thereof, is condemned by proper
authorities; taken without the exercise of eminent domain, whether permanently or
temporarily; or any right-of-way from which the Digital Billboard is visible is relocated,
OFI shall have the option to terminate this Agreement consistent with the terms of Section 2.
The Parties agree that the Digital Billboard is owned solely by OFI and that the underlying
leasehold interest in the Property belongs solely to OFI, and the City shall assert no rights in
such interests held by OFI, though the City shall not be prevented from asserting any rights
against the condemning authority. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver of any rights OFI might have to just compensation and other remedies
provided by law in the event of an eminent doma in action.
30. Rules of Construction and Miscellaneous Terms
(a) The singular includes the plural; the masculine gender includes the feminine; “shall” is
mandatory, “may” is permissive.
(b) Time is and shall be of the essence in this Agreement.
(c) Where a Party consists of more than one person, each such person shall be jointly and
severally liable for the performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder.
(d) The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement
and do not in any way limit or amplify the provisions thereof.
(e) This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of California in effect on the date thereof.

Report regarding holding a Public Hearing on the City’s housing,community,and economic development
needs for the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Annual Action Plan and providing direction to the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Subcommittee regarding funding priorities.(Danielle Thoe, Housing Manager)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing and receive public testimony on the City’s
housing,community,and economic development needs for the fiscal year (FY)2024-25 Annual 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 requires local jurisdictions to prepare an Annual
Action Plan (Action Plan)for the upcoming fiscal year (FY)2024-25,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 27,2024,public hearing is to obtain citizens'views on housing,community,and
economic development needs,which will inform the Action Plan.Additionally,for those non-profit
organizations seeking CDBG funds,they may use this public hearing to make brief comments to City Council
regarding their programs.The City Council can take this opportunity to ask the non-profit organizations
questions regarding their proposed activities and to give direction to the CDBG Subcommittee on funding
priorities.
The second public hearing is scheduled for May 8,2024.At this meeting,the Council will consider adopting
the FY 2024-25 Action Plan and make final recommendations on CDBG funding allocations.
DISCUSSION
Funds Available for FY 2024-25
The City has not yet received notification from HUD of its CDBG entitlement amount for FY 2024-25.This is
common for CDBG given that it is a federally funded program impacted by the federal budget process and
timeline.During the week of March 11th,the federal government signed into law a spending bill which includes
HUD’s budget for the CDBG program.Funding levels for CDBG remain unchanged from this fiscal year and
staff feel comfortable now recommending the Annual Action Plan budget for an allocation equal to that
received for FY 2023-24.This results in an estimated allocation of $457,048 for FY 2024-25.While the
spending bill has passed,there could still be adjustments to the City’s grant allocation when HUD applies the
grant formula.With the staff recommendations to be presented at the next CDBG Subcommittee and then full
Council meeting,staff will bring a recommended contingency plan for adjustments to the budget within a 20%
variance.Should the final funding amount vary greater than 20 percent from the estimated budget,in
accordance with HUD regulations,staff will return to the Subcommittee and/or City Council to revise the

File #:24-79 Agenda Date:3/27/2024
Version:1 Item #:6.
funding proposals.
The budget outlined in Attachment 1 incorporates the FY 2024-25 award and program income.Including the
potential entitlement ($457,048)and estimated program income ($7,000),staff anticipates an overall budget of
approximately $464,048.The HUD regulations cap spending on Public Services at 15%and Administrative
costs at 20% of each year’s allocation.
The budget also accounts for estimated rollover funds unspent during previous years which are approximately
$100,000 in un-encumbered funds.This number may increase if all encumbered funds are not fully utilized.
While the City has a large amount of rollover funds unspent from past years,the 15%cap on public services
funding and 20%cap on administrative funding may not include use of those rollover funds.The rollover funds
can only be used for construction type projects.
With a history of decreases to entitlements,the ability of the CDBG program to meet community public service
needs has also decreased.In FY 2020-21,the City began to supplement Public Services requests with funds
from the Housing Trust Fund (Fund 205).Staff have budgeted up to $100,000 from Fund 205 for FY 2024-25
to fund services such as shelters, transitional housing, and housing referrals.
Notice of Funding Availability
Fiscal Year 2024-25 marks the first year of a two-year funding cycle for Public Services grantees.To solicit
applications for these,as well as public improvements,fair housing,and City funds,the City publishes a Notice
of Funding Availability (NOFA).The City published its NOFA in coordination with San Mateo County and the
other CDBG entitlement jurisdictions in the County.While applicants are required to submit a specific funding
request to each jurisdiction from which they seek funding,their administrative,contact,and organizational
documentation is only required to be submitted once.The NOFA was published on the City’s website and
through the City Data Services (CDS)portal on December 5,2023.The NOFA was advertised on the City
website, emailed to organizations who have received funding in the past, and was advertised on social media.
In coordination with the other jurisdictions,the City hosted a virtual Technical Assistance Workshop on January
4,2024.At this workshop,staff described the eligible uses for the CDBG and City funds.City Data Services
staff also joined this workshop to provide an overview of how to use the CDS platform.Applications were due
no later than 5:00 pm on January 18,2024.The City received 11 applications for Public Services funds,three
applications for Minor Home Repair funds,one application for Fair Housing funds,and one application for
Microenterprise Assistance funds.
Applications for Funding
Applications are evaluated based on multiple criteria.Programs must meet the CDBG eligibility criteria as well
as the specific priorities the City has identified in its 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan.The City’s current
Consolidated Plan covers FY 2023-24 through FY 2027-28.Through the community engagement process for
the Consolidated Plan, the City identified the highest community needs to be met with CDBG funds.
These needs are translated to four Goals the City outlined in its Consolidated Plan:
·Goal 1:Increase,maintain,and improve the supply of affordable housing for extremely low-to
moderate income individuals/families.
·Goal 2:Preserve and improve public facilities and infrastructure that serve low-income neighborhoods
or special needs residents.
·Goal 3:Provide public services to improve the quality of life for low-income individuals and families,
City of South San Francisco Printed on 3/28/2024Page 2 of 4
powered by Legistar™78
File #:24-79 Agenda Date:3/27/2024
Version:1 Item #:6.
including those at risk of becoming homeless and special needs populations.
·Goal 4: Support service-enriched shelter and transitional housing for homeless families and individuals.
The City may not provide CDBG funding to a program that does not meet at least one of the goals of its
Consolidated Plan.To fund such a program,the City would need to amend its Consolidated Plan to include a
goal covering those types of programs.
Below is a summary of the funding activities which are available through CDBG and supplemental City funds:
Public Services Activities - $69,607 Available
The majority of NOFA respondents proposed programs that CDBG classifies as public services activities.These
activities provide services to improve the quality of life for low-income individuals and families,including
those at risk of becoming homeless,senior and youth services,and special needs populations.Additionally,
activities that provide service-enriched shelter and transitional housing for homeless families and individuals.
City-Funded Housing Activities (non-CDBG): Fund 205 - $100,000 Available
Income received from in-lieu fee payments is deposited into a housing trust fund (Fund 205).These funds may
be used to support public services applications which provide housing and shelter to low-income persons or
work to keep low-income people housed.By using these funds to support qualified housing-specific public
services activities,the City is able to more fully meet community needs than it would be able to with CDBG
public services funds alone.
Minor Home Repair Activities - $100,000 Available
Activities that increase and improve the supply of affordable housing for low-income households.This includes
minor home repairs for health and safety priorities as well as accessibility modification programs.
Fair Housing Activities - $13,400 Available
The City has targeted the HOME Administrative funds it receives from the County for fair housing activities
since the CDBG regulations require the City to affirmatively further fair housing.Fair housing activities may
only be funded from administrative or public service type funds.Using these HOME Administrative funds to
fund fair housing activities allows other activities to be funded under the public services cap.
Public Improvement Program Activities - $190,000 Available
Those funds not set aside for public services or administrative expenses have typically been utilized for public
improvement activities.These are projects that meet Goal 2 above and include capital projects which benefit
low-income neighborhoods and people.The City did not receive any applications for these types of activities.
Program staff are working with other City departments to identify any projects that may benefit from CDBG
funds.Additionally,staff are considering a decrease to this budget to allow for funding of the economic
development activities described below.
Economic Development Activity - fund availability TBD
The City’s approved 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan did not include economic development activities as a
priority goal for the City.The need for additional economic development efforts was brought up during the
Consolidated Plan community outreach process and the ongoing impacts of the COVID pandemic continue to
impact small businesses.Current CDBG staff are unsure why this was not included as a priority or goal in the
Consolidated Plan activity but recommend that the Consolidated Plan be amended to allow funds to be spent on
economic development programs.Dependent upon how these programs are structured,such expenditures may

powered by Legistar™79
File #:24-79 Agenda Date:3/27/2024
Version:1 Item #:6.
fall outside of the City’s public services cap.
Staff have begun the process of amending the Consolidated Plan by publishing the proposed amendment.The
City may not budget to fund economic development activities at this time,but staff plan to return to Council to
both approve the 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan amendment and to amend the FY 2024-25 Action Plan to allow
for economic development activities.This full process will lag behind this CDBG award process and Annual
Plan approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact on the General Fund to hold this Public Hearing.For the City to allocate federal funds,
two Public Hearings must be held.This is the first of two hearings.At a subsequent City Council meeting,
Council will be asked to consider adopting the Annual Action Plan following the second Public Hearing.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
By completing the public process mandated by HUD and outlined in the City’s CDBG Community
Participation Plan,the City will be able to adopt and submit to HUD the required Annual Action Plan.This will
enable the City to secure its allocation of CDBG funds for the coming year.This in turn will advance several
priorities of the City’s Strategic Plan, including:
·Provide funding for social services and public projects to support residents.
·Help fund nonprofits that work to address various affordable housing-related issues.
·Shift the financial burden away from the City’s General Fund by securing Federal grant funds.
·Partner with nonprofits that provide information to local residents and help strengthen community
relationships.
CONCLUSION
Holding the first of two public hearings for the FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan is part of the process to receive
public input and direction from the City Council on eligible uses of CDBG funds.

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.
This application is for CORA's Safe Houses which serve individuals (and their children) who are fleeing domestic
violence and need immediate, safe housing. CORA’s Safe Houses are part of the agency’s overall effort to
progressively engage clients at risk of homelessness.
From hotel vouchers to longer term housing subsidy vouchers, CORA prevents homelessness, providing
customized levels of assistance that preserve the most expensive interventions for households with the most
severe barriers to housing. Funds will support CORA’s client advocates who provide clients at the Safe Houses
with the support and opportunities they need to set and attain their goals. A primary goal of Safe House 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, 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.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
-80% of CORA's Safe House Program clients will demonstrate an increase in self-sufficiency, improving the client’s
ability to re-build a life free from abuse.
-80% of clients that complete the Safe House Program will transition into safe 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.
The entirety of this funding will be expended during FY 2024/2025 (July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025). CORA's Safe
House Program Manager, Kaitlin Chang, oversees this project and, in collaboration with CORA's finance
department staff, reviews this grant program expenditures throughout the grant award period in order to ensure that
funds are expended by the end of 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.
CORA utilizes a client database to collect data on all services rendered. By analyzing this data, we can evaluate
client safety, satisfaction, and increased self-sufficiency.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
CORA's Safe House/Emergency Shelter programs have continued to collaborate effectively, and have provided
resource referrals to 60% of clients entering shelter. 64% of clients reported exiting to safe, alternative housing; the
remaining 36% did not disclose their exit destination. Through our partnership with Samaritan House, clients have
been able to explore various housing resources and secure longer stays in housing. Additionally, CORA has
partnered with Ruby’s Place to allow survivors living in CORA’s safe houses to have access to various wellness
items and activities to meet their needs. This collaboration includes receiving wellness kits (personal hygiene
products, over-the-counter medications, feminine hygiene products, etc.), access to referrals for therapists and
nurse practitioners, transportation to and from medical appointments, and more. By partnering with Ruby’s Place,
survivors who are fleeing their abusive partners are able to receive additional supportive services to focus on their
physical and mental wellbeing while they heal during their time in the program. CORA continues to partner with the
Peninsula Humane Society which provides free boarding and shelter for CORA’s clients’ pets for 30 days. After 30
days, CORA the RedRover Foundation assists clients who have pets. This compassionate care for pets helps
clients maintain their emotional well-being during a time of great emotional upheaval.
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.
CORA is dedicated to providing survivor-driven, client-centered supportive services to victims and survivors of
domestic violence. During the second half of FY22-23, CORA’s Emergency Shelter program served a total of 61
individuals. The Safe House offered shelter services to 40 survivors (23 adults and 17 kids). In addition, 21
survivors (16 adults, 5 children) benefited from emergency hotel services, but did not enter the Safe House.
As the only domestic violence agency in San Mateo County, CORA receives a large number of referrals for
emergency shelter/safe housing. Due to limited space, staff are often having to give appropriate outside referrals
and resources to survivors in immediate danger who are fleeing from their abusive partners. In order to best
support clients who are needing to be referred out to other agencies, Safe House staff have created and
maintained relationships with various shelter agencies in the county such as Samaritan House for the county’s
Coordinated Entry System for general shelter, HIP Housing, and New Creation Home Ministries.
The need in our community for DV services including Safe House services, and our limited shelter occupancy,
continues to be a challenge. Through initiatives such CES (San Mateo County Coordinated Entry System) referrals,
and engagement with other housing programs in San Mateo County, we have ensured that clients continue to have
access to a safe place and receive referrals and support from CORA staff. Throug

Community Education team conducts presentations, workshops, and table events at various community settings
around the County, including local high schools and junior colleges, local health centers, homeless shelters and
legal support agencies. This broad array of outreach activities ensures that any particular community is made
aware of CORA’s resources and accessibility of services
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.
By leveraging the combined CDBG funding for Redwood City, South San Francisco and the County of San Mateo,
CORA is better able to provide Safe House/Emergency Shelter to domestic violence victims in our neighborhoods.
Additional local government funding for CORA's Safe House Program comes from the Town of Colma ($7,000 -
awarded) and the City of Menlo Park ($7,000 - projected). In addition, CORA raises funds for all programs through
government, foundation, and corporate grants; individual donations, and special events.

For the City of Redwood City ONLY, answer the following:
1. Funding Criteria:
2. Priority: Supporting Persons Experiencing Homelessness Making homelessness short, rare and non-
reoccurring by supporting the work of emergency shelters and funding other basic needs.
2. Program Outcomes:
a. Please describe the accomplishments of program goals for FY/23.
In FY 22/23, CORA successfully provided Safe Housing to 9 Redwood City clients seeking safe shelter. We also
provided these clients with access to additional CORA supportive services including legal assistance and mental
health services, longer-term transitional housing assistance, and referral to community resources. Across the
county, CORA provided Safe Housing to 99 individuals (63 households). -80% of CORA's Safe House Program
clients demonstrated an increase in self-sufficiency, improving the client’s ability to re-build a life free from abuse.
-80% of clients that complete the Safe House Program will transition into safe housing.
b. 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/23:
CORA operates San Mateo County’s only shelters for survivors of DV and their children. Lisa’s House, CORA’s
largest shelter, is a three-floor apartment building with 22 beds that provides clients with up to an 8-week stay.
Coni’s House is a residential home with six beds. Client advocates work with survivors to create a plan for self-
reliance and empowerment; staff provide culturally appropriate wraparound support services in various languages.
A Safe House/Emergency Housing success story: Lauren* (not her real name) came to CORA’s Emergency
Shelter with her daughters seeking safety from her abusive partner. Her partner was constantly stalking her and
controlling her whereabouts. When Lauren came to CORA, she felt she could finally breathe and instantly felt
relieved and hopeful. In a matter of just three weeks, Lauren managed to enroll both of her children into schools
nearby, find 2 jobs, and begin mental health services for her and her children. Shortly after, Lauren was able to
secure her own apartment where she felt safe. With the support of CORA, Lauren was able to secure
employment, and gain access to mental health services to help her and her family begin to cope and heal from all
they have endured.

Children cared for per month)
CORA will provide Safe House/Emergency Shelter to approximately 100 victims of domestic violence at 2
confidential CORA Safe Houses in San Mateo. Victims often flee violence with little more than the clothes they are
wearing so in addition to shelter we supply emergency supplies of food, clothing and other basic necessities as
well as access to CORA's legal assistance and mental health services. The level of services is tailored to the
needs of individual clients.

Friends for Youth (FFY) is a nationally recognized, award winning direct-service agency with over four decades of
measurable success in mentoring and a 100% safety rating. Through our 1-to-1 and site-based group mentoring
programs, FFY provides quality mentoring relationships for underserved youth who need support most, with the
goal of empowering them to be mentally and behaviorally healthy, emotionally secure, and equipped with
resiliency-building skills. FFY sees social and emotional learning as a critical component of present and future
success. Adverse childhood experiences and trauma create additional barriers for youth, making it more difficult for
them to envision positive futures for themselves. Before thinking about college or careers, we help youth think
about themselves and their needs holistically. Our proprietary social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum helps
students develop skills and takeaway tools for each of the core social and emotional competencies: self-
awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationships skills, and responsible decision making. It is our
belief that through the power of mentoring, we can improve the lives of our young people who need someone in
their corner.
13A. 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.
The San Mateo County Office of Education has stated that San Mateo County’s school-aged children and youth
are facing growing social-emotional, mental and behavioral health challenges - challenges which have been
compounded by long-time socioeconomic inequities and the Covid-19 pandemic. The San Mateo County Coalition
for Safe Schools and Communities launched United for Youth in partnership with San Mateo County Office of
Education and San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery services to prioritize opportunities to improve
social and emotional well-being for school- and transitional-aged youth. Mentoring is recognized by mental health
experts as a crucial PBIS Tier 2 preventative intervention, offering much-needed adult support. However, most
youth-led and youth-serving mentoring programs for school- and transitional-aged youth are focused on college
and career success, entrepreneurship, or academic support. Very few programs, if any, prioritize creating non-
judgmental, safe spaces for trusted relationship building. FFY’s programs are solely focused on the social,
emotional, and mental health of our youth, and provide safe spaces for youth to openly discuss their concerns and
build social and emotional skills. To address language barriers, we offer intentional Spanish-speaking and bilingual
mentoring programs, and are in the process of expanding our site-based group mentoring services to Borel Middle
School, Aragon High School and Allcove San Mateo.
13B. Assessment of Need - County of San Mateo: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your

served. Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
Dignity Health’s 2022 Community Health Needs Assessment (DGCHNA) provided essential statistics detailing
youth needs within San Mateo County (SMC). While 29.9% of SMC teens needed help for emotional/mental health
problems, only 16.5% received psychological or emotional counseling. 24.2% of 7th graders reported experiencing
depression, and 16.3% of 9th graders and 17.6% of 11th graders reported having seriously considered suicide. The
Sustainable San Mateo County (SSMC) 2023 Indicators Report echoed similar statistics, stating depression-related
feelings have increased between 3% to 8% across grade levels, particularly with Black, Latinx, and Pacific Islander
students. Respondents in the SMC 2023 CHNA were most critical of access to mental health services, with 40.1%
rating ease of access to mental health care services as “fair/poor”. Residents in the SSMC 2023 Indicators Report
further emphasized the importance of accessible and culturally competent mental health resources, highlighting
that one-time interventions aren’t adequate and that there is a need for continuous mental health support. FFY’s
mentorship programs, along with our collaborative WHY programs, bridge this gap and break through barriers such

as stigmatization, financial costs, language and educational gaps in order to reach our youth and families where
they are at - in schools and in the community.
13C. 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.
31% of youth survey respondents for the CCCS SSF Neighborhood Action Plan reported “never” or “rarely” having
talked to a supportive adult about what they are thinking or feeling. In fact, 10% of 7th, 8th, and 11th grade students
reported that no adult at their school notices when they are absent or not there. Many youth attributed not having
supportive adults in their lives to parents working long hours to keep up with rising costs of living and unaffordable
housing. This action plan has identified increasing prevention and early intervention for mental health issues and
substance use as a key strategy and outcome for South San Francisco, and promoting social-emotional learning
has been identified as the sole Tier 2 strategy for achieving this desired outcome. The Kaiser Permanente SSF
2022 Community Health Needs Assessment also identified mental & behavioral health as the top priority for the
SSF service area, with community leaders highlighting the need for culturally and linguistically relevant mental
health support, increased education regarding available services, and meeting families in places they already
frequent. Between our WHY warm handoffs, streamlined internal referral process and Promotores outreach, FFY
seamlessly connects youth and their families to culturally and linguistically relevant wraparound support services.
Most importantly, however, our mentorship programs provide youth with trusted adults who show up consistently in
their lives.

FFY prioritizes community-based research and client-centered design, conducting annual needs assessments and
mid-year check-ins to tailor our services based on qualitative feedback, stories, and quotes
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
FFY is the backbone agency of the Whole Health for Youth (WHY) Collaborative, a multi-agency partnership that
aims to improve youth mental health and wellness through coordinated prevention and early intervention services,
as well as mental health and wellness education for parent, caregivers, and supporting staff and volunteers.
Through our collaborative warm handoffs and streamlined internal referral process, we build bridges within
communities and seamlessly connect youth and their families to necessary support services offered by our
nonprofit partners. Our core partners include Siena Youth Center, Pal Center, and One Life Counseling Center,
along with a larger network of school and community supporting partners. Together, we have provided 85+ bilingual
trainings, launched 60+ wellness programs, facilitated 250+ referrals to mental health & wellness services, and
collectively served 5,700+ youth & families. We hope to prove that by working together, nonprofits can reduce
duplicative services, increase access and field expertise, multiply impact and serve communities holistically with
more breadth and depth. WHY programming includes weekly group mentorship, bilingual individual therapy, and
mental health workshops for youth, along with weekly therapy groups, monthly support groups, and fitness and
mental health workshops for parents and caregivers.
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.
Youth and their caregivers have made it abundantly clear that the burdening cost of living crisis, compounded by
the pandemic, is placing youth and families under increased stress and directly contributing to the declining social,
emotional, mental and behavioral health of our youth. Several community members have voiced the need for
culturally and linguistically relevant services, given that accessing mental health services can often be seen as a
sign of weakness and is highly stigmatized in BIPOC communities. It is not only necessary that adults supporting
youth mental health speak the languages of the communities that our youth and families come from, but also that
they understand the socioeconomic and cultural context which uniquely shapes barriers to accessing services
provided by the city and county.
Organizationally, we have seen a decrease in individual fundraising, while simultaneously facing a steep increase
in need for mentoring services and case management, as the number of youth, schools and community sites on
our waitlists for our 1-to-1 and group mentoring programs continue to grow. However, we are struggling to meet this
need due to limited staff capacity. Receiving funding would allow us to hire more staff to serve the numerous
schools and community sites on our group mentoring program waitlist, and also allow us to expand our efforts to
get the youth on our 1-to-1 waitlist paired with a trusted, caring adult mentor.

requested funds. This should also include program objectives and key priorities for each specific jurisdiction.
HIP Housing’s Affordable Housing Programs prevent homelessness, maintain housing affordability, and increase
access to housing resources.
The Home Sharing Program creates new affordable housing County-wide by matching people who have space in
their home with people who are searching for an affordable place to live. Activities include: screening applicants;
referring potential housemates to each other; guiding clients through the match process, and ongoing support after
a match is made.
The Self-Sufficiency Program offers a 1-5 year rental scholarship and coaching support for low income parents
and/or transitional age foster youth who are in school. Activities include: monthly case-management meetings to
review budget, education, and parenting goals; Life Skills workshops; rent scholarship; mental health counseling;
and referrals to community resources.
The Housing Readiness Program empowers San Mateo County community members to navigate our complex
local housing landscape. People who contact our agency will be
provided with housing resources, assistance with completing housing applications, and other assistance.
The Property Development and Management division provides affordable housing to low-income individuals and
families, ensuring their long-term housing stability. HIP Housing owns 1 property in SSF and 6 in the City of San
Mateo. We do third-party property management or compliance work for 4 additional properties in the City of San
Mateo.
13A. 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.
Throughout the County of San Mateo, we seek to be a global hub for biotechnology and innovation. Yet, the
housing supply in the City of San Mateo has not kept pace with job growth. This has a disproportionate negative
effect on low-wage workers, families, and seniors. The average rent for an apartment in the City of San Mateo is
$3311 per month, according to Rentcafé.com. An employee earning minimum wage in the City would need to work
191 hours in a month just to afford this rent alone.
The Affordable Housing Programs serve individuals who live, work, attend school, or have a housing voucher in
San Mateo County.
The target population for the Home Sharing Program is primarily older adult Home Providers with extra space and
low-income individuals either through income, age, or disability, who are seeking housing.
The target population for the Self-Sufficiency Program is families with dependent children and transitional-aged
foster youth (with or without children) whose adults are enrolled in an educational program leading to advancement
in their career and economic stability.
The Housing Readiness Program's target population includes anyone who contacts HIP Housing for housing
resources and needs support in navigating the complex housing landscape in our County. Extremely low-income
older adults will receive weekly case management support to improve their access to housing resources.

The City of South San Francisco is a global hub for biotechnology and innovation. Yet, the housing supply in the
City has not kept pace with job growth. This has a disproportionate negative effect on low-wage workers, families,
and seniors. The average rent for an apartment in South San Francisco is $2,977 per month, according to
Rentcafé.com. An employee earning minimum wage in the City would need to work 173 hours in a month just to
afford rent alone.

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.
In FY 2024-2025, our goals and activities will include:
Home Sharing Program:
Interview, screen, and provide housing assistance to 60-80 people who live or work in SSF and 60-80 people who
live or work in San Mateo.
Place individuals in a new home sharing arrangements (7 in SSF and 7-10 in San Mateo)
Provide ongoing follow-up support residents who entered home sharing matches in previous years (30 in SSF and
60 in San Mateo)
Self-Sufficiency Program:
Interview 3-5 low-income families with dependent children or Transitional Aged Foster Youth in both SSF and San
Mateo whose educational goals will lead to economic self-sufficiency.
Place 1-2 SSF households and 1-2 San Mateo households in housing either in one of HIP Housing’s four group
share homes or with support of a housing scholarship in a unit rented on the open market.
Conduct monthly case management with 4-6 SSF families and 7-10 San Mateo families to provide support on
financial, parenting, mental health, and educational needs.
Housing Readiness Program:
Provide housing assistance and community resources to 100-120 SSF residents and 100-120 San Mateo residents
who contact our agency for information, and follow-up with callers one month after the initial contact to determine
what additional assistance they need with navigating housing applications.
Case-Manage 15-20 older adults from SSF and 30-40 older adults from San Mateo.
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.
HIP Housing’s Affordable Housing Programs are evaluated on and tracked in program databases to help us
assess:
Number of clients and households served
Number of intake calls and referrals provided
Number of clients placed in housing arrangements
Number of clients receiving case management
Income level of clients
Affordability of housing
Length of time client remains housed

https://www.citydataservices.net/cities/smatca/app2024arc.pl?rpt=C13567 4/11
Respond to 30 inquiries from SSF residents and 83 inquiries from San Mateo residents.
Interview and screen 31 Home Sharing Program applications in SSF and 36 in San Mateo and provide case
management support.
Place 5 San Mateo residents in new Home Sharing matches.
Maintain Home Sharing match arrangements for 21 residents in SSF and 60 in San Mateo
Conduct community outreach to raise awareness of the program in the community
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Finding a safe, affordable place to live is only one piece of the puzzle for our clients. We have built strong
partnerships with a number of organizations that provide a wide variety of resources to those we serve. We, in turn,
provide affordable housing information, resources, and opportunities to individuals and families referred to us by
other agencies.
Programs we work with include:
Cal State East Bay, SJSU, and Eastside College Preparatory School – provide interns
CORE Community Centers – provide rent assistance, shelter referrals, etc.
Legal Aid and Project Sentinel – provide legal advice
Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center – provides conflict resolution training for Home Sharing Coordinators
Life Moves – provides housing resources for shelter clients and Life Moves staff
smchousingsearch.org – posts information about HIP Housing’s Home Providers
2nd Harvest of Silicon Valley - collaborates on making referrals for SSP clients needing food resources
San Mateo County’s Independent Living Skills networking group – shares best practices and resources that are
available for Transitional Aged Foster Youth.
CORA’s TDAH (To Do At Home) program - provides families with children between 0-5 with a TDAH activity bag to
build connections between parents and kids to prevent domestic violence
One Life Counseling Center and other mental health clinicians provide services in which HIP Housing pays for up
to 10 sessions
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 lack of affordable housing has led to economic insecurity and mass displacement of low-income residents.
The population of older adults is growing at historic rates. The Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies projects
that households headed by adults 80 and older will double by 2040 to 17 million. Researchers at UCSF estimate
that among single, unhoused individuals in California aged 50 and over, 41% first became homeless at age 50 or
older. An increase in low-income seniors referred to HIP Housing requires staff to administer intensive assistance.
Seniors facing homelessness face enormous stress and trauma that can exacerbate other health conditions.
Home Sharing clients cite many reasons that Home Sharing is one of their only options for secure housing: extra
income to pay mortgage and rent; rising utility expenses; homelessness; overcrowding; uninhabitable living
conditions; job relocation; rental increase. One challenge is the disparity between what Home Providers need to
charge for rent and what Home Seekers can afford to pay.
Self-Sufficiency Program families lack the resources to afford housing while trying to focus on their education. We
currently have a waiting list for families who seek a housing scholarship. Families are staying in the program longer
due to the rising cost of living, which impacts their ability to afford housing.
The impact of our Housing Programs will be considerably lessened without funding from the City.
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:
To ensure that our programs are informed by the populations we serve, we conduct multiple client surveys that
provide insight into what works well and where we can improve. And, our agency is always searching for
opportunities that will enable us to share information about our programs through outreach activities to all ethnic
and racial groups in the County.
Program materials are available in Spanish, English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Tagalog. Staff speak a variety of
languages including: Spanish, Tagalog, Mandarin/Cantonese, German, Indonesian, Italian, some being certified in
Spanish to work directly with Spanish-speaking clients.
HIP Housing has a DEI committee that directs DEI efforts for the agency and informs the use of a DEI and trauma-
sensitive lens when working with program clients.

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.
HIP Housing operates on a robust and sustainable earned-income model, which allows us to generate a
substantial amount of our income through property development and management fees, as well as rent. Today, we
generate enough earned income to cover all of our administrative costs.

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.
Program Objective: Legal Aid SMC keeps low-income tenants in their affordable homes by defending them against
illegal and unfair evictions through in-court representation and assistance and out-of-court advocacy. We provide
legal representation, advocacy, advice and other services to approximately 50 households per month and answer
dozens of tenant questions through phone consultations each week. Services are provided in person in our
Redwood City office, and in weekly housing clinics in the community. We also provide services remotely for those
with mobility or transportation issues.
Key Priorities: Legal Aid SMC strives to provide low-income clients with legal representation, advocacy, or the
knowledge and practical assistance they need to more effectively advocate for themselves and their families with
the goal of preserving their affordable housing and preventing them from becoming homeless or being displaced
from their community.
Specific Activities: Legal Aid SMC attorneys, project staff, and trained pro bono attorneys represent clients in court,
advocate for their legal rights out of court, consult one-on-one with clients to answer questions, provide legal
advice, help with the completing of legal paperwork, and explain what to expect in the county's housing courts.
Legal Aid SMC is also able to aggregate eviction data to track rends and impacts in specific cities.
13A. 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.
Rents are extremely high for families with low and moderate incomes living in San Mateo and throughout the
county. Many households' incomes have not kept pace with the rise in rents, and high inflation has further eroded
many tenants' ability to pay their monthly expenses. As a result, many members of our community working in the
service sector and in blue-collar jobs struggle to keep their place in our community. The median income of our San
Mateo clients last year was $25,200. A market-rate apartment is out of reach for our clients, and the cost of moving
is prohibitive. It is critical that these families maintain their current housing whenever possible, and the primary
factor that influences this outcome is timely legal help in defending an eviction. Tenant protections, like all laws, are
only effective when there are attorneys to enforce them. Utilization of available tenant protections, like those
provided in the Tenant Protection Act, is also dependent on tenants' knowledge of their rights and ability to assert
them. Tenant education and access to legal services is key to keeping many San Mateo families in their homes.
13B. 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.

like all laws, are only effective when there are attorneys to enforce them. Utilization of available tenant protections,
like those provided in the Tenant Protection Act, is also dependent on tenants' knowledge of their rights and ability
to assert them. Tenant education and access to legal services is key to keeping many South San Francisco families
in their homes.
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 work is ongoing. Legal Aid SMC can begin utilizing CDBG funds immediately to provide free legal services to
low-income tenants. Staffing and infrastructure to support this work is already in place.
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.
Legal Aid SMC is committed to utilizing both internal and external data to evaluate its programs. We measure
success by the number of households we serve as well as by the number of cases that result in a favorable
outcome for the client. We also work to reduce the number of unlawful detainer (UD) cases that result in a default
judgment by the court. A default judgment is entered when a tenant fails to respond, responds incorrectly, or
responds too late to a UD, and can mean that the tenants are rapidly displaced from their home. In some cases, a
household may be evicted in as little as five days after a default judgment. We will track the number of housing
clients who come to us with unlawful detainers and the number of Answers to UDs that we prepare for clients,
compared to the total number of UD Answers and defaults throughout the County.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Legal Aid SMC partners with San Mateo Superior Court and Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto to ensure
that self-represented litigants in eviction proceedings have access to pro bono assistance at essential points of the
legal process, including preparation oof paperwork by Legal Aid SMC at the outset of the case and assistance with
settlement negotiations by Community Legal Services at subsequent court dates. We work with other community
organizations like Faith in Action and Project Sentinel to provide outreach and comprehensive services to low-
income individuals and families facing housing issues. Through active collaboration, client referrals, and targeted
partnerships that address specific needs in the community, Legal Aid SMC and its partners work to maximize
resources and community impact while eliminating duplication of services.
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 housing affordability crisis continues to significantly impact low-income families throughout San Mateo County.
For many of our clients, their income simply can't keep up with the region's rising rents and the high rate of
inflation. We continue to see many eviction cases due to nonpayment of rent. Additionally, we're seeing a trend of
landlords serving multiple tenants who are paying lower rents with eviction notices claiming they want to
'substantially remodel' the apartments. Some of these landlords do not actually intend to remodel the units, they
are just using it as a pretext to get around the rent increase caps in the Tenant Protection Act. Legal Aid SMC
scrutinizes these attempts to evict and fights them when they are illegal.
CDBG funding is an important part of the HomeSavers funding infrastructure. Without this resource, we would seek
funding from other sources. Other funders may have goals and priorities that differ from those of CDBG
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

Legal Aid SMC serves low-income residents of San Mateo County. Our client demographics more closely
resembel that of individuals at or below 125% of the poverty level living in San Mateo County rather than the
demographics of each city's population. Legal Aid SMC continues to work to provide services for low-income
residents of all races and ethnicities, but specifically focuses on providing culturally and linguistically appropriate
services to serve the significant low-income Hispanic populations in the City of San Mateo and South San
Francisco.
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.
Legal Aid SMC has a successful development program that has allowed it to secure program funding from an
annual campaign, targeted major donor solicitations, and an annual luncheon and golf tournament. In addition,
Legal Aid SMC has been successful in obtaining grants and contracts to support its work from a number of
foundations and government agencies. For FY24-25, in addition to any CDBG funding awarded, we anticipate
receiving support for the HomeSavers program from the State Bar of California Trust Fund Program ($28,148
committed); Redwood City HSFA ($15,000 requested); San Mateo ARPA ($116,197 committed); Daly City ARPA
($21,555 committed); San Mateo County EIF ($100,000 requested); and San Mateo County Measure K ($561,655
requested).

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.
LifeMoves' mission is to provide emergency interim housing and supportive services that create opportunities for
families and individuals experiencing homelessness to return to stable housing and long-term self-sufficiency. At all
six LifeMoves San Mateo County sites, LifeMoves staff work with clients to develop the skills they need to
transform their lives and build lasting solutions to homelessness. All clients work with case managers to create and
execute concrete plans to secure jobs, find childcare, locate housing, and other components needed to create a
sustainable lifestyle and prevent future homelessness. In addition to meeting with their case manager to develop
and implement individualized case plans, clients attend life skills workshops and adhere to key practices (e.g. a
savings program) to help them regain self-sufficiency. Workshop curricula include effective search strategies for
employment and housing, financial literacy training, and parenting skills. Additional onsite services include
behavioral health, health care referrals, and substance abuse treatment support.
FY 2024/25 objectives: Of the clients for whom LifeMoves has housing history from HMIS, 58 individuals in 54
households will have housing history that includes South San Francisco. LifeMoves will serve 142 individuals in 40
households at Family Crossroads. 80% of families completing an interim housing program will secure stable
housing and 20% will maintain or increase their income.
13. 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.
LifeMoves brings over 35 years of experience successfully operating emergency interim housing programs and
service sites. Despite the successes of LifeMoves’ programs over the past several decades, the need for the
services LifeMoves provides is even more pressing today. San Mateo County unemployment, underemployment,
and low wages continue to conspire with the extremely high and ever-rising housing costs in the region, making it
increasingly difficult for working families and individuals to have the resources needed for permanent housing and a
stable home life.
Our six sites in San Mateo County—Family Crossroads in Daly City, First Step for Families in San Mateo,
Navigation Center (formerly Maple Street) in Redwood City, Haven Family House in Menlo Park, Coast House in
Half Moon Bay, and Redwood Family House in Redwood City—all have long histories of serving families and
individuals experiencing homelessness. South San Francisco persons will be assigned to the nearest, or best
suited to their needs, emergency interim housing site through the County's Coordinated Entry System (CES).
As the largest provider of homeless services in San Mateo County, LifeMoves provides a valuable service to the
community by helping families and individuals secure stable housing. LifeMoves has a wealth of data on its own
programs that clearly demonstrate both the ongoing need for services and the success of the LifeMoves programs
at addressing that need.

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 Crossroads is fully operational and ready to accept clients at any time for the upcoming 2024-25 Fiscal
Year. The project has dedicated staff and supervision along with the processes and procedures in place to start
aiding clients immediately upon contract execution.
LifeMoves has a strong track record working with people experiencing homelessness and people who are at-risk of
homelessness, having provided successful programs in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties for over 35 years. As
a long time CDBG/HUD grantee, with no outstanding issues, LifeMoves is experienced in managing complex public
contracts with robust reporting, draw-down and HMIS requirements. LifeMoves uses Deltek Costpoint financial
management software, which is integrated with our Paycom timekeeping and payroll system. These systems allow
for accurate timekeeping and timely billing, and in addition, they provide staff and management with easy access to
program expenses and budget-to-actual comparisons.
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 ensure that all outcomes are met, LifeMoves follows a robust performance measurement protocol. To evaluate
our programs, complete records of LifeMoves client outcomes and demographics are entered into the Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS), a county-wide system, tracks the services each client receives. In
addition, LifeMoves maintains a customized Salesforce database (Voyager) that provides additional data and
capabilities that allow for more in-depth program analysis by our Impact and Learning team. Additionally, LifeMoves
solicits feedback at regular intervals from program participants through weekly house meetings, case management
sessions, and open-ended surveys. Additionally, all clients are asked to complete client satisfaction surveys upon
graduation from the program.
In the first two quarters of FY24, we have served 148 individuals from 43 households at Family Crossroads, and 42
South San Francisco persons from 18 households in total.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
LifeMoves maintains a strong network of community resources that contribute to our program’s success. Our staff
are effective in successfully leveraging community resources to benefit the greatest number of participants.
LifeMoves works in close partnership with the County of San Mateo and with the collaborative efforts of numerous
community-based agencies to provide referrals and critically needed services including access to legal services,
behavioral health assessment and treatment, and health care, among others. These collaborative relationships
throughout our region facilitate effective, complementary, and unduplicated services to individuals and households
experiencing homelessness in our community.
LifeMoves works in deep partnership with several organizations in San Mateo County including Caminar, Second
Harvest Food Bank, Loaves and Fishes, Mid-Peninsula Housing, Samaritan House, Peninsula Family Service, San
Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, HIP Housing, Legal Aid Society, Vocational Rehabilitation
Services (VRS), and the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. Additionally, LifeMoves makes referrals to County
medical, dental, and mental health clinics, vocational support, and numerous other social services offered within
the community.
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 pandemic and high housing costs continue to adversely impact our clients, resulting in longer client stays in
most of our emergency interim housing sites. Rents continue to increase in the Bay Area with no sign of
abatement, and while our Housing Specialists review with clients the cost of housing in other parts of California,
and indeed in other parts of the country, many clients wish to remain in the Bay Area because of family
connections, medical care, friendships, faith communities, and other social supports also essential to well-being.
LifeMoves has also seen an increase in undocumented clients, who face immense and unique barriers when
pursuing employment, assistance programs, and other components necessary to secure stable housing.
LifeMoves relies on the financial support of the community to achieve our intended outcomes and continue to
conduct highly impactful work to help those most in need in our community. Without funding for the project,
LifeMoves would be forced to scale back services for clients in San Mateo County, leaving a vulnerable population
without critical housing and supportive 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:
Potential program enrollees into LifeMoves interim housing programs are only accepted by referral from the
County of San Mateo Coordinated Entry System; there are no walk-up admissions. To improve affirmative
outreach, the LifeMoves Homeless Outreach Team identifies and engages unsheltered individuals and households
by distributing printed program information and developing relationships with individuals that may not be fully
accessing County resources. After program intake, LifeMoves makes every effort to ensure all individuals
regardless of race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation feel safe and accepted.
LifeMoves serves a diverse population: of the clients LifeMoves served across all six of our San Mateo County
emergency interim housing sites last year, 39.8% were White and Hispanic, 24.5% were White and Non-Hispanic,
15.6% were Black, 4.2% were Native American, 3.9% were Asian, 7.8% were Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and
4.1% were multiracial or other. For detailed South San Francisco data, please reference the table above. With this
diverse clientele, cultural competency is an integral part of LifeMoves training. LifeMoves contracts with a licensed
clinical psychologist to provide a mandatory, semi-annual training to all LifeMoves staff on integrating
multiculturalism into organizational practices.

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.
With over 35 years of experience, LifeMoves is a financially strong organization with sound leadership, strong
Board governance, and fundraising and financial oversight. LifeMoves has a historically strong, well-balanced
public and private funding base with an annual budget of ~$66M for fiscal year 2023-24. In addition to grants from
corporations and private foundations, as well as contracts from public sources, LifeMoves employs a broad
spectrum of private fundraising and stewardship techniques combined with a strategic marketing campaign to
achieve our annual fundraising goals. LifeMoves respectfully requests $28,000 from South San Francisco to
continue operations at Family Crossroads. The total program cost is $1,016,146 of which $592,757 is committed
and $423,389 is to be determined.
LifeMoves is experienced at leveraging grant funding so services are maximally cost-efficient and effective.
Through a full spectrum of publicly- (federal, county and city) and privately-funded programs located throughout

The mission of Magic Tooth Bus (MTB), a 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 2017, is to provide accessible dental care
and education to low income communities in the Bay Area. We envision a world free of dental disease. Our values
are centered on equity, accessibility, and community.
Magic Tooth Bus's ongoing project with Breezeway Hub and community partners aims to increase dental access
and improve the oral health of underserved neighborhoods. The project we are proposing is Dental Access to High
Risk Cavity in South San Francisco (SSF) and Redwood City.
1. Magic Tooth Bus will partner with SSF and Redwood Promotores and community based organization leaders to
help provide dental services (screening and fluoride application) for children, pregnant women, adults and seniors.
2. We aim to strengthen partnerships with the city leaders, public schools and community health centers so that we
can provide a safety net and prevent disease progression. Children whose mothers have poor oral health are five
times more likely to have oral health problems than children whose mothers have good oral health.
3. To promote oral health awareness about the importance of oral health since youth do not normally receive from
their prenatal care professionals.
4. MTB works to carry out the mission by providing oral health outreach services such as assisting with oral health
enrollment and providing resources for care; brushing and flossing demonstrations.
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.
Access to dental care is a significant concern for low-income children in California, even though pediatric dentistry
is a covered benefit under Medi-Cal. Medi-Cal reimbursement rates are among the lowest in the country, leaving
providers unable to cover their operating costs. Magic Tooth Bus is currently building relationship with PAL Center,
Fair Oaks Public Library and Office of Community Affairs in Redwood City. These organizations are helping low-
income children and their families. They offer services like health and wellness fairs and after school programs for
K through 8th graders who have dental issues that need to be addressed. These children and their families have
limited access to dental care ad need to be prioritized since they are most at risk of dental caries.
Magic Tooth Bus had collaborated with the organizations listed by participating in different events, for example, Dia
Familia, Dia Delos Ninos, Friendship Park, Holiday workshop and health and wellness fair. These events happened
between the spring and winter seasons. We constantly receive invitations from different agencies located in
Redwood City requesting our organization to provide outreach and dental kits at their events. These organizations
also see a need to promote good oral health habits. The population that we served most in these events are
LatinE/X children and their families.

13B. 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 requested amount of $20,000 will help contribute towards implementing the project fully. The total cost of a
small program focused in two areas for one year is about $40,000. A portion of that has already been committed
from other fundraising campaigns.
MTB targets to participate in twelve events over the course of one year to expand our current oral health education
and dental services. The requested funding of $20,000 would cover three hands on screening events and three
outreach events. At each event, we target to average 30-50 patients seen for screenings and dental outreach
services. With the help of funding we would be able to bring in dental services to the low income neighborhoods of
South San Francisco. A well-knowledge and diverse team is required to provide excellent patient care services
from outreach to end of treatment. Magic Tooth Bus had participated in two Breezeway events in 2023, but plan to
expand our services by bringing dental screenings. During our participation, we asked individuals what they would
like to see in the future and many had expressed interest in receiving dental services at that location. The event
organizers had also mentioned the popularity of our participation and requested for our return.
We gathered the following information from our Breezeway Hub participation:
- Majority of the attendees do not have a dental home
- Only 50% attendees have a dental home and seen a dentist
- Majority of the attendees
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.
We hope to be able to continue our participation at the Breezeway Hub by being more consistent so attendees
know when to expect the Magic Tooth Bus Team to be present. We aim to participate every two months alternating
outreach and dental screening months. This will slowly ease our expansion until we fully understand what the
community needs.
Total outreach events 5
Total Dental Screening events 4
1. Funding will be used for Oral Health Promotion and Outreach:
- To purchase incentive giveaways such as child and adult toothbrushes and toothpastes, timers, floss, denture
cleaners, etc.
- To purchase materials for the education table where children can practice brushing fun models, and answer
questions regarding oral health for awards.
- To print resources for referrals, brochures, and dental educational materials on oral health care and maintenance.
2. Funding will be used for Dental Services:
- Dentists and Registered Dental Hygienists can provide dental screenings to provide guidance for the next steps
the individual should take in their/ their child's oral health.
Screenings are not examinations and do not involve making diagnosis that lead to treatment plans.
- To purchase screening materials such as Fluoride varnish and other protective equipment.
- A team is required to prepare, organize, participate, and report on the event.
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 evaluate program effectiveness, MTB will collect data on the number of dental treatments planned. We will
evaluate the treatment acceptance rate, and referral rate. Six months after the patient's initial visit, we will follow up
with another visit to examine the patient for any new decay or assess any improvements from the last visit.
Throughout the grant term, we will follow the Plan, Do, Study, Act process to continuously evaluate and assess our
program effectiveness. The data collected during the grant term would summarize our program's effectiveness. In
addition, we hope to receive a few success stories of the patient process and learning experiences gained by the
end of the grant period. At the end of the grant period, we will provide a report of the services rendered and a
reflection of our programs. Finally, MTB will evaluate our program quality via survey questionnaires from families
and reflections and success stories from our community partners.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Community members most impacted will be involved in project planning through constant communication with
school officials such as principals, school nurses and teachers to coordinate space and time of our presentations

and dental services. Magic Tooth Bus has built a relationship with the Promoteres of South San Francisco City Hall
to aid in the mission to help the new comers from Columbia, Ecuador and other Latin Countries. Our collaboration
and community involvement will help create a safety net for families needing dental care.
The community benefits from our activities by having a resource to support wellness activities. With our services
we engage with students and families to reinforce good oral health habits year-round. The skills gained will benefit
schools, districts and community events beyond the funding period and for future years to come. The Magic Tooth
Bus team will collaborate with PAL Center, Public Library, Office of Community Affairs and Latin/e/x Coalition to
create a solid network for success.
Activities for sharing ideas, insights, and lessons learned from this project with the city of South San Francisco and
Redwood City will be through collaboration and constant communication with community based organizations,
School District officials, and San Mateo Department of Public Health. Through relationship building and
interconnected work, Magic Tooth Bus will be able to share the lessons learned from the project through meetings

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.
Our vision is to build a healthier community by eradicating tooth decay. The funding can support our mission,
vision, and goals and continued work targeting the same population and sharing the same goal of making healthy
choices easier and desired. We have an ethnic and linguistically diverse staff with the ability to adapt to a variety of
cross-cultural situations.We strengthen partnerships with public schools, community based organizations,
community health centers and city leaders by leveraging their existing site’s wellness team committee and health
advocates.
Magic Tooth Bus has steadfastly committed to improving oral health outcomes within disadvantaged communities.
The demand for our services has been consistently high, underscoring the pressing need for our presence in
various community events, schools, and health initiatives. However, as a small three-person team, we recognize
that our current capacity limits our ability to meet the needs of the community we serve fully. Magic Tooth Bus has
proven its value in promoting oral health awareness and services, and with your support, we are poised to amplify
our impact. We humbly request your consideration of our application which will enable us to grow our team, extend
our outreach, and create a lasting positive impact on on the oral health of underserved populations in San Mateo
and the San Francisco Bay Area. We remain committed to our mission and are eager to expand our reach with
your support.

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:
Magic Tooth Bus targets the underserved communities and aim to partner with Community-Based Organizations
(CBOs) who serve mainly those areas. However, there are oftentimes where our target population is not what we
had expected. In order to improve affirmative outreach, our team will conduct more surveys and questionnaires on
the needs of our target population. We will ask questions on the location, convenience, and what services they are
interested in. We will also ask how our population receive information so that we may use the appropriate form of
communicating when we will be present at events. For example, when an attendee visit our table, we will ask them
to complete a survey in their preferred language. We then present this information to the CBO or event organizer
hoping to improve affirmative outreach in future 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.
Capital Contribution - Magic Tooth Bus contributes to sustain all the operational cost.
Corporate Grant- Magic Tooth bus received a sponsorhip from Kaiser ( $1,000) for health and wellness event.

City Funding - Magic Tooth Bus applying for the CDBG Program to expand services.
Individual Donations - Our organization runs annual campaigns hoping to raise unrestricted funding. We have a few
funders committed to consistent funding.
In-kind Donations - Our organization applies to multiple suppliers to request for dental donations such as dental kits
that include toothbrushes, toothpastes, and floss. We already have 2-3 suppliers committed to donating to our
organization consistently.
Volunteers - There are also many ways volunteer engagement can help solve some of the most pressing issues

it’s definitely worth doing your bit to help. The volunteers can help us to grow and help sustain the work that has
already been done, without the worry of relying on profit. Our organization does not have enough funding to grow
and so the need of volunteers will be a generous help for us to get by. The great thing is, they don’t have to
volunteer for months if you are not available and giving just a few hours of their time will have a positive impact and

a. Please describe the accomplishments of program goals for FY/23.
Magic Tooth Bus (MTB) has served over 3,500 individuals and families and distributed over 8,000 dental kits in
FY22/23. MTB provided oral health education to over 250 individuals, screened over 300 individuals, and
participated in over 70 community events. MTB served over 500 individuals in San Mateo county alone in 2023.
Magic Tooth Bus is a resource for teachers, parents, and caregivers for oral health questions and concerns.
Targeting young children and their families will establish a foundation for success in keeping the mouth healthy
and clean. The Magic Tooth Bus is committed to bringing oral health education and dental services to all
populations regardless of access, location, race, or income. Our work closes the disparity gap and improves
access to care for those living in low-income communities. We do this by bringing consistent oral health care
education and preventative services on sites to overcome barriers created by social determinants of health. The
Magic Tooth Bus is committed to supporting our target audience in overcoming obstacles created by social
determinants of health and delivering diverse and culturally appropriate services to students, staff, pregnant
women, and families. Our multilingual staff can communicate in a language participants are most comfortable
speaking.
b. 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/23:
To date, Magic Tooth Bus has helped over 5,000 families, easily surpassing 8,000 people. We’ve done this
through our partnerships with CBO’s and public schools. We also helped 200 low income families. Meetings teach
students and families how to take care of their teeth and where to get dental care at the same time providing this
information in various languages such as English, Spanish, and Cantonese.
Pacifica School District approved the MOU with Magic Tooth Bus in June 2023 to allow Magic Tooth Bus to
provide kindergarten oral health assessment to students at 5 elementary schools. Our team received positive
feedback from the San Mateo County and the school district.Magic Tooth Bus able to screen 300 Kindergarten
students (ages 4-5 years old) and by checking their teeth at early age the sooner children begin getting regular
dental checkups, the healthier their mouths will stay throughout their lives. Early checkups help prevent cavities
and tooth decay, which can lead to pain, trouble concentrating in class, activities and other medical issues.
Each time we go to schools, we leave an impression to students. We teach them things they may not know about
such as flossing and the importance of cleaning their tongues. The school staff would provide immediate feedback
to us as they walk the students back to class after the screening and they would tell us what the students talked
about during that short period of time (majority would provide immediate feedback o

Licensing website that the Ombudsman Program visit and monitor. the list is updated once a year for the public to
view if interested.
There is no other program in San Mateo County that provides the services we do. Our program is a federal
mandated program that each state in the United States is required to have. The state then contracts with the

different counties to operate the program or contracts with a non-profit to be responsible which is what San Mateo
County does with OSSMC.
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.
Both the city of San Mateo and South San Francisco require quarterly invoicing along with OSSMC's quarterly
report. This quarterly reports includes number of residents visited-monitored, complaints, age, income, ethnicity,
and sex. All of this data is required on our invoicing.
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.
Each city that we receive a CDBG grant from requires the same data for invoicing. OSSMC is required to enter all
data and cases into a software program that is connected to the State and it is called ODIN. This software will give
us any information that is needed for our quarterly reports for each city. Each Ombudsman is required to enter all
the data they have regarding each resident they visit per day or week or monthly. Our goals of visiting the RDFEs
and SNFs in each city have been met and continue to be met.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
OSSMC collaborates with Institute on Aging, Safe Harbor, Community Care Licensing, San Mateo Oral Health,
San Mateo County Commission on Aging, California Department of Public Health, California Department of Social
Services, State Ombudsman Office, Police Departments, Ault Protective Services, the District Attorneys Office, and
Legal Aid.
OSSMC works with all of these agencies because of the complex nature of each resident's needs. We advocate for
each resident and each person has a different need. The needs go from , the water is not cold enough to some one
is taking money out of my checking account. WE investigate these claims and they ar entered into ODIN and
sometimes we have the police involved. WE work very hard to get resolution for each case.
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 impact our program has on the city of San Mateo and South San Francisco is that each of these cities are
assured that the residents in the licensed facilities in each city have the Ombudsman to advocate, educate and
empower each person all the time. WE believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, valued and supported so
they can have the best quality of life in the long term care facilities. The funds received from each city helps with
the cost of the program and to help with the salaries of our staff.

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. RTS has kept all data forms from the beginning of the agency (29 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.

RTS aims to help child abuse survivors learn the skills needed to heal from sexual abuse, decrease the likelihood
of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, develop the tools to be supportive of their healing, and prevent continued or
future abuse. RTS’ program clearly matches many HUD activities by providing Basic Human Needs to Abused
Children. RTS provides mental health services to child abuse survivors including Advocacy & Accompaniment,
Crisis Intervention, Therapy, Information, Referrals, and Violence Prevention.
The Polaris Project, the human trafficking crisis line, has identified San Mateo County as a Human Trafficking
Hotspot. Child Sexual Exploitation is a form of child abuse in itself, but the number one risk factor for being sexually
exploited is having been a victim of childhood sexual abuse.
County-wide, in FY 2023 RTS provided 593 child abuse victims with crisis intervention, accompaniment, and
advocacy during forensic medical exams & interviews. RTS provides children with emotional support, answers
questions, and makes sure survivors understand what is happening and that their rights are protected under the
law. Counselors are trained to provide services to youth of all ages. RTS works with police to ensure victims
receive information about ongoing RTS services. RTS provides children with individual and group therapy to help
break the isolation that is common among survivors – especially children.
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.
RTS is the only agency in San Mateo County that responds 24-hours a day to law enforcement, Keller Center and
Child Advocacy Center when a child has been identified as a victim of sexual violence. The National Crime survey
reports 1-in-3 girls and 1-in-6 boys will be sexually abused by the time they are 18 and the SM County Grand Jury
discovered “everyday a child in SM County is sexually abused.” Last year, RTS provided crisis intervention to 593
victims of child sexual abuse, 91 of these children live in Redwood City, 11 identified being victimized by
commercial sexual exploitation. Children ranged in age from 2 to 17 and are predominantly low-income. Children

behavior, difficulty in school, use of alcohol and drugs, and early sexual activity. The housing crisis has created a
dire situation for low- and moderate-income families, creating a link to child sexual abuse. Families are depending
on strangers for a place to live, which has impacted the number of child sex abuse reports. Cramped quarters,
without a formalized lease, have resulted in sexual abuse contributing to families having to choose between the
safety of their child or being homeless. RTS is a place where survivors find support. The ability to heal from trauma
is fundamental to a child's safety and well-being. For 29 years RTS has provided services to the target group: child
victims of sexual abuse.

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 complete mental health therapy assignments. This process allows program staff 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.

RTS has provided crisis intervention services to 47 child abuse victims living in Redwood City - 54% of the yearly
goal.
RTS has provided crisis intervention services to 45 child abuse victims living in San Mateo - 52% of the yearly goal.
RTS has provided crisis intervention services to 50 child abuse victims living in South San Francisco - 57% of the
yearly goal.
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 (housing and basic
needs, teen pregnancy prevention, substance abuse, mental health, child protective services). RTS is a member of
the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Steering Committee, County Sexual Assault Task Force, & Multi-
Disciplinary Interview Team to create better understanding regarding child victim issues, provide training, and
enhance the coordination and cooperation of all parties involved (law enforcement, medical personnel, DA, and
Victim Services). RTS works with City & County Police Departments during an investigation to facilitate useful
communication and support the creation of an environment that minimizes re-traumatization. RTS' role is to support
the child victim, provide information, and answer questions. RTS addresses prevention by providing education
programs in high-schools and middle-schools. 42% of students reach out for further information, crisis intervention,
advocacy, and/or counseling. RTS serves underserved communities to promote prevention of sexual assault, and
to provide intervention to those who have been affected. One of the collaborations that most affects youth is the
Youth Empowerment & Advocacy Program, which involves cross training and information sharing between Victim
Services Division of the DA’s office, CORA and RTS.
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.
Sadly, each year new children reach out in need of victim services. Funding allows us to meet this demand. 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 & 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.
RTS provides a large percentage of direct services to Latinx children. Through our Bilingual Services, RTS focuses
outreach to underserved populations actively targeting people who have limited resources to receive services
elsewhere.
There is a high demand in San Mateo County for Mental Health Services. There is a greater need for therapy than
our county can provide. As the only Rape Crisis Center, RTS provides follow-up services to every child who
receives a Forensic Medical Exam at the Keller Center or a Forensic Interview at the Child Advocacy Center. In
addition to providing Crisis Intervention and Advocacy, many children are in need of long term therapy. Without
funds, RTS would have to initiate a waiting list for counseling, fewer school communities would receive services,
some child victims may not receive accompaniment support during forensic exams/interviews, & fewer residents
would receive information needed to make important & informed decisions.

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 provide outreach to residents and specifically to the Latinx immigrant
community. Presentations are given where there is a high likelihood of contact with survivors or potential victims.
RTS created a 2+ minute video highlighting services provided through RTS' Sexual Abuse Program which is
featured on our agency website home page and was distributed to several service providers and to all high schools
in San Mateo County. The video is in English with Spanish subtitles.
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.
RTS has a community outreach plan which targets underserved communities and sends program materials to over
80 agencies throughout San Mateo County and the greater Bay Area, for example Native American Health Center,
LGBT Community Centers, StarVista, Kaiser Permanente (Redwood City, South San Francisco and San Mateo
Medical Office) San Mateo County Human Services Agencies, Asian American Recovery Services, and Larkin
Street Youth Services.
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 Cal OES - the funding amount is $225,000 for the Sexual Abuse
Services Program for Children and Youth and ongoing funding for Child Abuse Treatment from Cal OES in the
amount of $150,000. RTS receives $95,000 from The San Mateo County Victim Services for Child Abuse
Prevention and Intervention.
RTS has received current funding from several Family Foundation ($150,000) We will re-apply to these sources for
the upcoming fiscal year and apply to additional Corporations and Foundations. 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 very 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) throughout the county.
We are anticipating funding cuts to our Cal OES and CDPH grants in FY2024/2025. We are preparing for these
reduced grant amounts by increasing our outreach efforts to Family Foundations and researching additional
funding which will support child abuse prevention and direct services. Funding from Redwood City, South San
Francisco, and San Mateo will help with future funding opportunities.

For the City of Redwood City ONLY, answer the following:
1. Funding Criteria:
3. Priority: Sustain or Expand Human Services: Sustain or expand the high level of basic human needs
services for extremely low-, very low-, low- and moderate-income persons and households including but not
limited to childcare, mental health and substance abuse services.
2. Program Outcomes:
a. Please describe the accomplishments of program goals for FY/23.
During FY 22/23, Rape Trauma Services provided crisis intervention, mental health services, advocacy,
accompaniment, long term therapy, prevention and community outreach to child abuse survivors living in
Redwood City.
RTS provided support services to 91 abused children living in RWC ranging in age from 2 to 17 years. The first
point of contact for these children was from the child's school, RWC police department, or at the Child Advocacy
Center or Keller Center where a Sexual Assault counselor provided accompaniment and advocacy services during
a forensic medical exam and/or forensic interview.
Sixty-one percent (61%) of victims identified as Hispanic. RTS provided services to 11 children who identified
being victimized by commercial sexual exploitation while residing in RWC.
RTS provided in-person therapy and crisis intervention services to At Risk Youth from Sequoia High School,
Redwood High School, and McKinley Middle School. RTS Educators provided Ending Cycles of Violence
workshops to students throughout Redwood City.
RTS provided training for parents and for community leaders on culturally sensitive support for child sexual abuse
throughout the community. Training topics focused on healing from childhood trauma and the prevention of child
abuse.
b. 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/23:
The “Garcias” came into contact with RTS at the Child Advocacy Center where RTS Advocates support families
during the forensic interview (FI). Anna Garcia’s 4 year old daughter, Mia, told her mom that her uncle hurt her.
Anna called RWC police to report. Due to Mia's age & concerns about the uncle having access to her since they
all lived together, an exigent FI took place followed by a medical legal exam (MLE). Julia, a Spanish speaking
bilingual RTS Advocate accompanied the family to the FI & MLE. Immediately, Julia could feel a sense of relief
from Anna because she was being supported directly by a Spanish speaker, not an interpreter. Anna told Julia that
she had experienced childhood sexual abuse & that this happening to her daughter is her worst nightmare. She
shared feelings of guilt due to their living situation & for failing to protect Mia. By the time the interview ended,
Anna was in a more stable place emotionally & left with resources to Victim Services & RTS. Anna told Julia that
she wanted to move because they live with several people & feels she can't trust anyone. She mentioned this has
impacted her relationship with Mia's dad because she doesn't want to leave Mia alone with anyone. Julia offered
to support the family in finding housing leads & other needed resources & that RTS offers therapy to children &155

families. Anna wanted all the support possible for Mia and was matched with an RTS therapist. They have been
seeing an RTS therapist & healing as a family.

Unhoused persons who are extremely low income are a presumed benefit population in San Mateo County. All
unhoused clients served by Safe Harbor Shelter are extremely low to very low income, and Samaritan House has a
strict application and verification process to document eligibility based on household income. To verify income data,
Safe Harbor staff obtain and review copies of pay stubs for employed clients and check stubs for Social Security,
General Assistance and other forms of income from unemployed clients. For client homeless certification, intake
staff verifies presumed benefit status utilizing a County form that is also utilized by the Housing Authority. This third-
party documentation is available on file for review at all times.

1: The shelter will be at full capacity 90% of the time.
2: 15% of clients will move into permanent, transitional or supportive housing.
3: 75% of clients identified as having mental health needs will receive referrals to mental health services.
4: 75% of clients identified as having substance abuse issues will receive referrals to AO

San Mateo County’s high cost of living, steep rents, and lack of affordable housing, compounded by the economic
fallout of the pandemic and high inflation, continue to severely impact the rate of homelessness. Extensive housing
waitlists and insufficient income levels greatly impact a client’s ability to exit to permanent housing. The average
cost of rent for an apartment in Redwood City is $3,298, approximately 23% increase year-over-year (Rent Café;

November 2023). Most of our clients are extremely low income, earning ~ $500/month - 'too low' an income to
qualify for below-market-rate units in the region.
The County’s acute housing crisis, impacts a diverse set of populations. Many Safe Harbor clients are seniors,
young adults, and individuals dually diagnosed with addiction and mental health disorder or addiction and physical
health disorder. Over 50% of clients are at Safe Harbor for the first time, due in part to new client referrals and
more effective collaboration between local Police Departments, HOT team outreach workers, and homeless
services providers.
In North County, there are no other homeless shelters. There are motel voucher programs through LifeMoves;
transitional housing through Caminar; and transitional housing for those with substance abuse issues through
Catholic Charities and the Latino Commission.

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 Shelter is an ongoing, continuing program, open to San Mateo County’s unhoused population 24
hours a day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. We do not foresee any obstacles to implementing our project
work plan as described, fully achieving our projected goals, and fully expending our contracted funds by the end of
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
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 outcome evaluation strategies to measure program outcomes and
effectiveness for our various programs, including Safe Harbor Shelter. In addition to utilizing required external,
funder-driven databases, we currently maintain internal databases to track and provide information about all of our
clients and services.
Safe Harbor complies with all data collection and reporting requirements required by our funders. The Shelter uses
Clarity Plus for capturing and managing client data and keeps case management files. Safe Harbor serves
unhoused adults across San Mateo County. In FY23, Safe Harbor served 366 unique individuals with 125,080
services, including 18,906 bed nights and 60,795 meals. Additional services include on-going case management,
Mobile Health Care Services, clothing, financial empowerment, and referral services to outside agencies.
Evaluation tools contribute to the ongoing review and refinement of program delivery. Recommendations arising
from evaluations are incorporated into the program planning process, ensuring services are adapted to effectively
meet our clients' needs and expectations. Evaluation results and lessons learned are regularly communicated
through program reports to the executive team, board, and funders.
Accomplishments to date include: exceeded/on track to exceed FY24’s contract outcomes for the City of Redwood
City and the City of South San Francisco respectively.

16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Samaritan House leverages its resources and ensures timely coordination of services through close collaborations
with numerous government agencies (County Human Services Agency, Center on Homelessness), Core Services
Agencies, 1,000+ landlords, homeless shelter providers (Abode Services, LifeMoves), domestic violence providers
(CORA), local police departments, 211, and other agencies (Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, Mental Health
Association of San Mateo County, Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center, Star Vista, etc.).
Additional collaborations include, but not limited to:
- CalTrain and SamTrans provide transportation vouchers
- Samaritan House’s Food Services Program, in partnership with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, provides
nutritious meals
-County SEAL team to expedite application process for SSDI and SSI benefits.
- County Mobile Dental Van provides onsite dental services bi-weekly
- Peninsula Works and NovaWorks provide employment assistance, support, and resources
- County Public Health Clinic provides onsite healthcare twice a week
- County Behavioral Health Services provides weekly, onsite mental healthcare
- Project Sentinel provides housing advocacy for unhoused and low-income tenants facing discrimination and rental
issues
- HealthRight 360 provides mental health and substance use disorder treatment, as well as individual and group
counseling
- The HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH)
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 houses San Mateo County's most difficult to serve unhoused population who have multiple barriers to
self-sufficiency, including fixed income due to age or disability, poor general health and low education levels. The
high cost of area rents and the increasing lack of affordable housing, compounded by the economic fallout of the
pandemic, have severely impacted the ability of our clients to achieve permanent housing placements. While we
continue to identify and successfully place clients into nontraditional housing options, including HIP Housing’s
Homesharing Program, and successfully help clients attain housing vouchers, fewer landlords countywide are
accepting housing vouchers, which is impacting the availability of affordable housing for our clients. This dearth is
due to high base rates for rentals, resulting in large gaps between base rents and fair market rent.
In response, Samaritan House actively participates in the County's efforts to end homelessness, and we continue
to advocate for our clients at various forums led by housing advocacy groups, agencies, & legislators.
Given the economic trends that continue to adversely affect 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’s budget.
Without these funds, we cannot assure the same level of service we have historically provided to all of the County’s
unhoused adults seeking our help.

1. Funding Criteria:
2. Priority: Supporting Persons Experiencing Homelessness Making homelessness short, rare and non-
reoccurring by supporting the work of emergency shelters and funding other basic needs.
2. Program Outcomes:
a. Please describe the accomplishments of program goals for FY/23.
Safe Harbor Shelter is a year-round Emergency Shelter that provides housing services for San Mateo County’s
unhoused population. Safe Harbor’s primary purpose is to provide warmth, shelter, nutrition and access to
supportive services to unhoused individuals in a compassionate manner to meet their basic needs.
Our outcomes for FY22-23 were as follows:
OUTCOME 1: The shelter was at full capacity 89% of the time.
OUTCOME 2: 54% of Safe Harbor emergency clients moved into permanent transitional or supportive housing.
(outcome has been impacted due to COVID-19)
OUTCOME 3: 90% of clients identified as having mental health needs received referrals to mental health services.
OUTCOME 4: 90% of clients identified as having substance abuse issues received referrals to AOD services.
b. 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/23:
Titus arrived at Safe Harbor in March 2021. As a 63-year-old Mandarin speaker, Titus required a translator for all
interactions, adding a layer of complexity to his placement process. After a challenging period receiving mental
health services at a hospital, Titus was discharged to Safe Harbor for help in finding stable housing.
Titus’ struggles with mental health had strained his relationships with family members. A critical incident at home
forced an emergency hospital trip and legal intervention, leaving Titus unwelcome at home. Dedicated Safe
Harbor staff worked with a BHRS caseworker to connect him with crucial services, including Cal Fresh, the Social
Security Office, and housing via a board and care facility in Redwood City.
Embracing newfound hope at Safe Harbor, Titus was determined to improve his situation and began saving
money from his $1040 monthly SSI payments. Buoyed by the positive changes, Titus was so content that leaving
the shelter became a challenge. Staff, with their compassionate guidance, provided the extra push he needed to
set forth on his housing search, and with the help of his case manager, Titus was matched with residential care
housing. In June 2023, he moved into his forever home, marking a major milestone in Titus’ journey towards
stability and well-being. His story inspires us to advocate for those struggling with behavioral health challenges
and homelessness, ensuring they receive the support they need to rebuild their lives.

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.
We are requesting funds for our THP+ program that serves emancipated foster and juvenile justice youth aged 18-
25. Our THP+ program in South San Francisco provides youth with housing in a triplex. Participants are expected
to meet program agreements and attend a weekly support group. THP+ is part of StarVista’s Youth and Community
Empowerment programs which support youth in finding stable housing, addressing unmet mental health needs,
navigating the foster care system, accessing LGBTQ-centered care, and more. THP+ is strength-based, holistic,
and individualized. Services begin with an assessment of each youth, then the creation of a Transitional
Independent Living Plan tailored to their unique needs. THP+ counselors provide basic life skills (e.g., budgeting,
housekeeping, parenting skills, etc.), educational support, and help with job preparation and attainment. Staff also
help youth build interpersonal skills to cultivate positive relationships, make decisions, manage stress, and care for
their physical/mental health. To build financial self-sufficiency, youth receive a matched savings account upon
completion, a stipend for groceries, and transportation vouchers. THP+ also provides aftercare services for youth
that need ongoing support remaining housed. THP+ services intensively supports 8-13 former foster and juvenile
justice youth annually to attain stable housing, optimal health, education, employment, and to develop caring,
supportive relationships.
13. 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.
StarVista's THP+ program serves a historically and institutionally underserved population of San Mateo County
youth at its SSF triplex. Over 50% of people in SSF are rent burdened, and the County at large is facing an
increase of people facing homelessness, up 20% from 2019 to 2022, and much higher than in previous years.
Designed for emancipated foster youth, THP+ is a unique and vital program for the SSF community. Former foster
youth are at increased risk for mental health challenges and are more likely to experience homelessness at an
earlier age and remain unhoused for a longer time. Often victims of abuse or neglect, they can't return to their
families, and they lack the support or resources to live on their own. They must seek their own role models rather
than lean on parents, and some cope by using substances or participating in survival sex for food or shelter. Our
THP+ program offers safe housing and supportive services to help youth complete high school, access health care,
obtain job training, receive mental health support, connect to community resources, and achieve economic stability,
and break the cycle of homelessness. Research has shown that 82% of youth who enter transitional living

1/23/24, 11:33 AM City Data Services - South San Francisco
https://www.citydataservices.net/cities/smatca/app2024arc.pl?rpt=C13568 3/7
programs like ours transition to positive independent living. Additionally, ongoing studies have found that supportive
housing and independent living skills training are effective and necessary for youth to successfully transition to
independence.
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.
THP+ is an ongoing program that operates year-round and will not require any startup time for implementation.
StarVista has a lengthy track record of efficient spend-down of CDBG and other funding. If awarded, StarVista will
draw down CDBG funding each month, for 10 months, consistent with actual expenses incurred. THP+ has a
strong history of meeting projected goals and anticipates a continued level of service excellence in 2023-2024.
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 methods to measure success include pre/post-surveys around youth development asset gains; Ansell-
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. ETO is a
secure, web-based performance management database that is accessed for tracking and reporting purposes. In
2022-2023, the following outcomes were achieved: 88% of participants maintained/stabilized housing (goal: 75%),
25% of youth were attending/school or utilizing staff/resources toward academic achievement (goal: 88%); and
100% of participants were connected to community resources around food, legal services, financial aid, IDA
banking, and more (goal: 95%). With this in mind, THP+ met two of its three goals. The goal around youth
education not met because addressing housing and income challenges have taken priority for youth over education
in order to meet basic needs (see details in the Impact section).
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
As mentioned, our THP+ program is the only one of its kind in San Mateo County. Youth served by THP+ face
many challenges and their need for support extends beyond services provided by StarVista. We are fortunate to
collaborate with numerous partners to provide services for our clients in addition to educational agencies
(community colleges, Guardian Scholar's Programs) and vocational programs like JobTrain, these include Project
Outlet in Mountain View, which support LGBTQ youth; the Rape Trauma Center, CORA (Community Overcoming
Relationship Abuse), Standing Against Global Exploitation (SAGE), which works with youth traumatized by sexual
exploitation and prostitution; Abode, HIP Housing, Guardian Scholars, Pivotal, El Centro Substance Abuse
Services, Al-Anon family groups, Friends for Youth Mentoring Services, and the Youth Services Bureau. We also
connect youth to health providers such as San Mateo Medical Center, Keller Center Family Violence Intervention
Center and Daly City Youth Health Center, and food and shelter services such as Second Harvest Food Bank and
Samaritan House.
To gain and share knowledge, the THP+ team collaborates with many local committees (e.g., the Executive
Advisory Council for Foster Youth Services & Youth Experiencing Homelessness, Housing Operation and Policy
Committee, STEP Committee). The THP+ team also attends monthly meetings for ILP (Independent Living
Program), TAY System of Care, and the Child Abuse Prevention Comm
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 THP+ team has noticed an increase in youth experiencing mental health challenges. In response, the team
works closely with internal and external resources (e.g., BHRS and StarVista’s Counseling Center) to connect
youth to vital mental health services. As services can be difficult to navigate alone, THP+ supports youth as they
navigate the Coordinated Entry System (CES) and additionally works with partners involved with CES to further
streamline the process for youth.
Obtaining/maintaining housing and employment in San Mateo County also continues to be incredibly challenging
for THP+ youth given the County’s exorbitant living and housing costs and limited employment opportunities they
qualify for. To address this, THP+ case managers provide interview/job support and work with the STEP program
so THP+ youth can gain valuable work experience working closely with different County departments. The THP+
team also support youth to set up strong financial foundations through teaching them how to manage their
finances, build on their rental history, and save money. This support, in turn, opens more doors for youth to obtain
and afford to maintain housing while also being able to meet basic needs. Additionally, with income and housing
addressed, youth have more capacity to pursue education, trade school, and other educational means that will

StarVista provides culturally and linguistically appropriate services by actively recruiting bilingual and bicultural
employees and retaining them with a pay differential, collaborating with organizations catering to specific ethnic
communities, offering cellular-based interpretation services in over 100 languages to clients in every StarVista
program, and actively promoting and participating in cultural events and activities. Also, we provide ongoing training
around DEI and cultural competency to ensure racial and cultural inclusivity.
StarVista’s THP+ program was developed within a racially and culturally inclusive framework and continuously
works to improve affirmative outreach. This includes tailoring outreach methods to reach high-need communities by
providing virtual and physical materials in the area’s dominant languages, having multi-lingual staff perform
outreach, conducting outreach in places that will reach highest-need individuals of various racial and cultural
demographics, soliciting feedback from staff and/or clients of the specific racial and/or cultural populations
regarding outreach, and using racially and culturally inclusive language. The THP+ Team is also comprised of a
diverse group of individuals stemming from a range of cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, parenting and
lived experience that equip it to best support San Mateo County’s diverse youth. THP+ also has a bilingual case

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.
Our Youth Supportive Housing programs (including THP+) have been in existence for over 30 years and have a
variety of funding supports in place to continue to sustain programming, including sustaining THP+ after funding
from CDBG ends. StarVista is a large multiservice agency with a diversified funding base and over 55 years of
experience in maintaining programs as grant sources change. We have implemented many 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. At this point in the year, our FY2024-25 funding renewal commitments have not
yet been confirmed, but we are happy to provide additional information once received. The THP+ program’s main
funding source is San Mateo County at approximately $1.3M for all THP+ services (including those outside of
SSF), and we plan to reapply for this multi-year grant in the coming months to secure funding for the upcoming
three years.

Grant Funded Programs:
We are applying for a Public Services Program
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.
For services that require proof of income we request the most recent 30 days of income verification (occasionally 2
months depending on program). Verification can include paycheck stubs, federal/state taxes, letters from
employers, bank statements, benefits awards letters, etc. Case managers assess client's income eligibility for
specific programs and connect them to any program that may best fit and benefit the family. Often our
rental/financial assistance programs require the most involved case management and income assessment to
accurately review each client's case in detail. For any forms that require client signatures (consent forms or
applications), clients may physically sign documents at our office during their specific appointment times, drop-in
hours, mail-in forms, and as a last resort provide a written statement to allow for verbal consent. Clients who
express limitations in their ability to physically sign forms are offered the ability to provide verbal consent where
case managers must call client to receive verbal consent for their signature as long as they have provided a written
statement for authorization of signature to our office. Case managers must note verbal consent authorization on
form being signed. All signed forms and associated documents to client's case are kept in their physical file and
(relevant ones) uploaded to their file in our database. Physical files stored with double security in office with limited
access.

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.
We provide South San Francisco individuals and families with basic emergency and support services to stabilize
their living situations: crisis intervention and referrals based on evaluation of needs and qualifications for
assistance; and safety net of services such as food, diapers, hygiene/clothing, emergency housing assistance,
emergency utility assistance, shelter, other basic needs, and seasonal programs. With the requested funds our
agency would continue to provide our existing services to all while being able to better meet the need of a key
underserved population in South San Francisco and expand a program families highly rely upon.
Key Priorities
1. Hiring a Cantonese speaking case manager will better serve our monolingual Cantonese speaking clients. The
Asian community is the 3rd largest population in our city, Cantonese being the primary language spoken among
Chinese residents. Our staff are all able to provide services in English and Spanish, but have to rely on creative
resources (online) to communicate with monolingual Cantonese clients. We successfully provide ongoing services
such as food, transportation, and seasonal programs to this population, but predict that a Cantonese speaking case
manager will increase our ability and quality of services to clients who need financial assistance or services that
require more in-depth communication.
2. Increase transportation benefits program, specifically bus vouchers, and distribution of clothing & hygiene
13. 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.
According to the City of South San Francisco 2023-27 Consolidated Plan, residents identified a critical need for the
continued provision of public services. The CRC provides services and referrals/linkages to specific areas noted:
safety net services, behavioral health services, life skills training, and housing related services. As one of San
Mateo County’s core agencies, we serve residents of South San Francisco, San Bruno, and Brisbane and anyone
experiencing homelessness in San Mateo County. We provide safety-net services to families, individuals, seniors,
multigenerational and mixed families. This includes monolingual Spanish speakers, monolingual Cantonese
speakers, Tagalog speaking clients, immigrants, undocumented communities and other diverse cultures. In the past
year, our records, recorded in the San Mateo County's Clarity data entry system, show that we served about 3,200
families (unduplicated) annually, with 1683 families and 4638 individuals of those being South San Francisco
residents. As the designated Core Agency for South San Francisco, we are the primary provider of safety net
services for the residents. Our services meet the needs of the first 2 populations listed in CDBG National Objective
Eligibility above; specifically, Seniors and homeless in the 'presumed benefit' and verified low income. Through
direct service we observed that many of our seniors are monolingual Cantonese speaking clients who could be

https://www.citydataservices.net/cities/smatca/app2024arc.pl?rpt=C13606 3/8
better served by Cantonese speaking staff.
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.
Post job opening for a fulltime Cantonese speaking case manager in June of 2024 so that we are able to
hire/onboard by July 1st, 2024 as the start of the fiscal year. Grant funding will be used to cover the salary, fringe,
and benefits of the new case manager throughout the fiscal year. In addition to case management and
assessments, Cantonese speaking case manager will begin participating in targeted outreach efforts within South
San Francisco to connect the Cantonese speaking community to our services. The case manager position is full
time and ongoing, fully intended to continue within the team throughout the fiscal year and moving forward. We are
confident they will be an asset to the team and directly positively impact our efforts in better serving currently
underserved populations.
With the remaining funding, we would prioritize purchasing bus tickets, hygiene items and basic clothing for low-
income South San Francisco seniors and families on a quarterly basis throughout the fiscal year. We currently
purchase transportation benefits from SamTrans, but this funding would enable us to increase the amount we
provide per week to clients and make a lasting impact in mitigating their costs. The hygiene and clothes can
replenish the items we provide to unhoused clients and newly arrived immigrants that are at-risk or currently
experiencing homeless. These services aim to be both preventative and reactive approaches to disrupt the cycle of
poverty and homelessness.
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.
IMPROVED OUTCOMES
Increase in access and utilization of safety net and mental health services of prevalent populations in north San
Mateo County, by the end of the first funded fiscal year.
Decrease negative mental health experiences of our community by increasing access and linkages to our internal
mental health services embedded in case management services by the end of the first fiscal year.
MEASURES OF SUCCESS
Increase in households served each fiscal year for specific demographics such as: Cantonese or Spanish
speaking, lowest income census blocks, and immigrant Latinx/Hispanic and Asian communities in north San Mateo
County, by the end of the first funded fiscal year.
Perform 6-month follow-ups for those given housing financial assistance (are you still housed?); look at staff
retention (currently at 2+ years); increase partnerships with other organizations while strengthening existing ones;
and conduct client satisfaction surveys (achieving the goal of at least 85% satisfaction rate).
Increase number of referrals and connected clients to therapists/clinicians within our branch and to mental health
partner agencies.
Through data reports increase service provision in transportation and critical needs programs and increase aiding
in plans of sustainability for clients attempting to meet eligibility for homelessness prevention financial assistance.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Collaboration is key. Creating and maintaining strong, trusting relationships with other providers and local
government is essential to providing consistent, quality wraparound services for our community neighbors in need.
We work in partnership with the other San Mateo County Core Agencies to provide referrals and linkages to
needed services that we may not be able to provide but which may be secured at other sites. We provide in-person
services at the Economic Assistance Center, and other employment related services through Job Train and
Rennaissance Center. We work with other locations - with cities, the county, and local churches - for food
distribution locations.
We also partner with the cities, particularly South San Francisco, on discovering new needed services and how we
can help provide them or make referrals to those who do. In SSF we directly administer city funding for their
financial assistance for housing program. We administered the pilot Guaranteed Income program and, with SSF,

https://www.citydataservices.net/cities/smatca/app2024arc.pl?rpt=C13606 4/8
continue to seek renewed funding. We work with SSF fire and police and the city manager ’s office to administer
holiday program food and toy drives. We currently work with the Assistant City Manager and fire department to
increase diaper program. They help by hosting recipient donation sites at fire stations for folks to drop off and
distribute from our site.
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.
Exponential increase in need due to the pandemic has slowed but continues as SSF gains new residents
(immigrants from other countries, those moving from SF) and as word of mouth spreads about our services
Funding will help us to better meet the need of those coming to us for help, and provide goods and services
specifically requested: clothing and hygiene kits (Bianca’s Closet), transportation and housing vouchers.
Funding for a new Cantonese-speaking case manager will allow us to achieve our goal to better meet linguistic
demand of this population of our clients, thus increasing our impact to provide them with more comprehensive yet
targeted 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:
The categorization for ethnicity does not accurate capture the amount of Hispanic households we serve. A large
percentage in the “other” category consist of our Hispanic community members that don’t identify as white. We are
going to continue to prioritize the Latinx community including existing monolingual Spanish speakers and the
recent/ongoing influx of immigrants residing in South San Francisco. We want to ensure that those that are most
vulnerable due to their hardships are connected to resources through an approach that is client-centered to them.
Though we are committedly serving the Asian community in South San Francisco, it is not proportionate to the total
population in the city. County data shows that Latinx/Hispanic and Black communities are in more financially
vulnerable states compared to Asian populations within the county. Though the Asian community is not the primary
financially vulnerable ethnic group in the County and city, there are groups within the community who are
exceptionally struggling such as Asian senior populations and non-English speakers who have limited means to
earn income. To mitigate this underserved gap, we plan to prioritize grant funding to cover costs of a Cantonese
speaking case manager. Being able to have staff that can communicate to monolingual Cantonese speaking clients
will connect more vulnerable community members to much needed safety-net services our organization can
provide in culturally relevant ways.
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.

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.
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 the least affordable housing market in the state with 12%
of its residents able to purchase a home (SF is at 14%). The major emphasis in CID's housing efforts is our
Housing Accessibility Program (HAM). Through the HAM Program, CID installs ramps, hand rails, grab bars,
vertical lifts, and other modifications to make homes accessible. These modifications assist people with disabilities
to remain at home or move back into their homes with greater independence, preventing the need to move into a
skilled nursing or other institutional care facility. CID cooperates with cities and the County housing agencies in San
Mateo County to increase the number of accessible and affordable housing.
Our key objective for all cities is to provide home modifications for extremely low, very low, and low income
individuals with disabilities living in San Mateo County. Our priorities are to provide individuals with disabilities who
have low resources the opportunity to become more independent in their homes through modifications that will
keep them safe in their homes.

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 continuously monitored throughout the fiscal year to ensure
that projected timelines and milestones are met. In the beginning of each fiscal year, we evaluate the amount of
funding that is allotted for each individual city and/or county to set monthly and quarterly milestones to be met
regarding spending and the number of consumers to be served in order to reach our annual program goals. After
each monthly review, we evaluate progress toward our annual goal and which cities and/or county may be lacking
in consumer requests. We will schedule outreaches in the target areas to increase community awareness of our
organization and the HAM program. 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.
We gauge our program success by our consumers' satisfaction, as well as reaching milestones set in the grant
stipulations, including the number of individuals households served, the number and type of modifications provided,
and diversity of consumers served. Increased independence is provided through installation of grab bars in a
bathroom so that an individual can shower without care attendants or the installation of a ramp so that an individual
can move in and out freely without assistance. These modifications essentially prevent individuals from having to
be institutionalized and allows them to live more independently in their home and community.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
We currently collaborate with Home Safety Services and EVator as contractors who install the modifications.
Additionally, we work closely with various community organizations and local senior centers for outreach and
referrals. A few of those partners include: Core service centers across San Mateo County, The Villa Senior Living,
Menlo Park, San Bruno, South San Francisco Senior Centers, the Mental Health Association, Ravenswood Family
Health Center, Project Sentinel, Rebuilding Together Peninsula, Kaiser Social Workers, the Institute on Aging, and
many more.
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 number of older adults and individuals with disabilities in San Mateo County continues to
increase by 30-40% even since 2020 (Lisa et all). As an Independent Living Center serving individuals of all ages
and disabilities, we are seeing an increase in the needs for our Home Accessibility Modification Program, as well as
our AT Department (e.g Stairlifts). Without these funds, our HAM program would not be able to provide home
accessibility modifications for as many residents as previously served, as other funding sources cover
administration costs, but will not cover materials and supplies for the program. Without these funds there could be
an increase of individuals 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 individuals family, county, and state due to
high cost 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 lose staff and lose one of our most valued and long
standing programs in the community.

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:
Based on the statistical analysis of people served by CID and race and ethnicity average of each city (Redwood
City, SSF, and City of San Mateo) continued outreach is needed to reach Asian and Hispanic communities in all 3
demographic areas. In 2022, CID will be employing more targeted social media outreach as well as community
education on the HAM program. In 2023 CID hired a new coordinator and in 2024, CID has begun employing
targeted social media outreach as well as community education and outreach with respect to Housing Accessibility
Modifications. Outreach is initiated via phone, email, snail mail, and training/educational outreach partnerships.
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.
The majority of our administrative costs are funded by the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) revenue. As of date,
we have already allocated funding from DOR to help fund support staff to help coordinate the modification of jobs,
contractors, billing, and additional administrative duties associated with the HAM program.

Our program helps individuals in the community through home modifications or using Assitive technology (e.g stair
lifts). These efforts assist us to maintain people's independence and safety, while fostering community integration.
As a result of our program, going to the grocery story, getting to work or to a doctor's appointment becomes
possible. One of the biggest impact we have through this program is helping individuals remain in their homes as
well as return home form institutional settings by providing structural improvements that give power and
independence back to the consumer.
b. 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/23:
--Two older adult gentlemen with multiple disabilities in SMC found support with the HAM program after their
daughter/granddaughter reached out to CID. With her help, both gentlemen were able to have home modifications
installed in their shared home, and the modifications supported each of their different, respective needs. While
both benefited from the grab bars, toilet safety frame with handrails, and bathtub step we installed; one gentlemen
is now able to independently get in and out of bed and dress using his new bedroom pole, and the other
gentleman is now able to safely enter and exit his home with the support of custom extended handrails we
installed along his front stairs. All three household members reached out after the modifications were installed to
report: “we are so happy with everything!!”
--The adult daughter of an older adult woman with multiple disabilities in SMC reached out to CID when she
realized that she and her mother needed support to stay safe at home. As one of her mother’s primary caregivers,
the adult daughter faced the risk of falling when supporting her mother to bathe. Her mother had also almost
slipped and fallen in the shower several times already. With the support of the HAM program, different types of
grab bars were installed in different locations inside and outside the shower along with a folding bench directly
mounted to the wall of the shower. To create wheelchair access to the bathroom, we also added a small ramp to
the bathroom

different community partners in San Mateo County, we distribute pamphlets describing the services at our center.
Some of our common targets for outreaches for the HAM program are: hospitals, Occupational Therapists,
Physical Therapists, Social Workers, teachers, and organizations that are specifically geared towards diverse
groups and underserved communities. Staff also frequently participate in senior information and health fairs and
other resource fairs to distribute HAM materials directly to community members who could benefit from the
program.

specific reporting compliance which , which are outlined in the NOFA and/or will be provided to you by San Mateo
County.
Yes
2. Describe in detail the scope of work directly related to the requested budget items. Describe the objectives for
each activity and the specific tasks that need to be accomplished to achieve those objectives. The description
should use the guidelines listed below:
The purpose and nature of the different services to be offered and where they will be provided;
The tasks to be performed (outreach, intake, enrollment, day care services, etc.);
The level of service that will be provided for each activity (identified in some quantifiable unit of service, Ex.
Children cared for per month)
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 the least affordable housing market in the state with 12%
of its residents able to purchase a home (SF is at 14%). The major emphasis in CID's housing efforts is our
Housing Accessibility Program (HAM). Through the HAM Program, CID installs ramps, hand rails, grab bars,
vertical lifts, and other modifications to make homes accessible. These modifications assist people with disabilities
to remain at home or move back into their homes with greater independence, preventing the need to move into a
skilled nursing or other institutional care facility. CID cooperates with cities and the County housing agencies in
San Mateo County to increase the number of accessible and affordable housing.
Our key objective for all cities is to provide home modifications for extremely low, very low, and low income
individuals with disabilities living in San Mateo County. Our priorities are to provide individuals with disabilities who
have low resources the opportunity to become more independent in their homes through modifications that will
keep them safe in their homes. We plan to provide modification services for 26 Households in San Mateo County.

RTP’s National Rebuilding Day (NRD) - Home Rehabilitation program leverages the collaborative support of
volunteers, financial sponsors, and in-kind donations to deliver major critical repairs to low-income homeowners
that lack the financial means and technical expertise to address the repair issues plaguing their health and safety.
NRD’s main objective is that the homes owned by our low-income neighbors are dry, clean, pest-free, ventilated,
safe, contaminant-free, maintained, thermally controlled, accessible, and affordable (the National Center for
Healthy Housing’s ten Principles of Healthy Homes).
Activities:
1. Low-income homeowner completes repair application.
2. RTP conducts a comprehensive Home Safety Assessment which assesses the health and safety repairs needed
based on the ten Principles of Healthy Homes.
3. In partnership with the homeowner, RTP develops a scope of work which provides a plan for how the health and
safety repairs will be completed.
4. Homeowner is paired with a volunteer Construction Captain who prepares the home for the work to be done on
NRD.
5. Repair and home modifications are completed by a team of volunteers on NRD, in either October or April.
6. Final project review and survey collection which assesses the impact of our work on the homeowner's health and
safety.
Priorities by jurisdiction:
3 homes in Redwood City, 6 homes in the City of San Mateo, 3 homes in SSF and 8 homes in the county.
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.
NEED:
Redwood City (RWC) needs a free home repair program for its low-income neighbors. Since RWC has limited
affordable housing (median RWC home price is $1.7M, per Zillow 1/2024), it – like many cities on the peninsula –
would benefit from preserving its current affordable housing stock. Given that the San Francisco Bay Area boasts
the second highest construction costs in the world (International Construction Market Survey, 2023) and
construction costs have climbed with recent inflation, many of RWC’s low-income homeowners can’t afford to keep
their homes in good repair. Combine this with the fact that 77% of seniors desire to age-in-place (AARP 2021) and
that falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults (Source: CDC), RWC’s elderly low-income homeowners
need access to free home repairs and safety modifications.
AREA SERVED:
Since our Fiscal Year 2009-10, RTP has provided 349 RWC homeowners with free home repair services. SAH
serves low-income homeowners across the city.
TARGET POPULATION:
SAH serves low-income homeowners with a focus on homes with seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and
families with children.
SIMILAR PROGRAMS:
While the Center for Independence of the Disabled provides home modifications for disabled persons, RTP serves
all low-income homeowners with a variety of health and safety repairs. With 35 years of experience and extensive

local networks, RTP is the leading home repair program in the county.
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.
NEED:
The City of San Mateo (SM) needs a free home repair program for its low-income neighbors. With a median home
price of $.5M, like many cities on the peninsula, would benefit from preserving its current affordable housing stock.
Given that the San Francisco Bay Area boasts the second highest construction costs in the world (International
Construction Market Survey, 2023) and construction costs have climbed due to skyrocketing inflation, many of SM’s
low-income homeowners can’t afford to keep their homes in good repair. Combine this with the fact that 77% of
seniors desire to age-in-place (AARP 2021) and that falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults (Source:
CDC), SM’s elderly, low-income homeowners need access to free home repairs and safety modifications.
AREA SERVED:
Since 2009-10, RTP has provided 216 City of San Mateo homeowners (and 32 community facilities) with free repair
services. SAH serves low-income homeowners across the city.
TARGET POPULATION:
SAH serves low-income homeowners with a focus on homes with seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and
families with children.
SIMILAR PROGRAMS:
While the Center for Independence of the Disabled provides home modifications for disabled persons, RTP serves
all low-income homeowners with a variety of health and safety repairs. With 35 years of experience, RTP is the
county's leading home repair program.
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.
NEED:
The County of San Mateo (County) needs a free home repair program for its low-income neighbors. Since the
County has limited affordable housing (median home price = $1.5M) it, like many cities on the peninsula, would
benefit from preserving its current affordable housing stock. Given that the SF Bay Area boasts the second highest
construction costs in the world (International Construction Market Survey, 2023) and construction costs have
outpaced inflation, many of the County’s low-income homeowners can’t afford to keep their homes in good repair.
Combine this with the fact that 77% of seniors desire to age-in-place (AARP 2021) and that falls are the leading
cause of injury for older adults (Source: CDC), the County’s elderly, low-income homeowners need access to free
home repairs and safety modifications.
GEOGRAPHY:
Since our Fiscal Year 2009-10, RTP has provided 1,809 County homeowners (and 268 community facilities) with
free repairs. We serve low-income homeowners across the County.
POPULATION:
SAH provides repairs to low-income homeowners with a focus on homes with seniors, veterans, people with
disabilities, and families with children.
SIMILAR PROGRAMS:
RTP’s 35 years of experience make us the leading home repair program in the County. Habitat for Humanity has a
home repair program, but it only serves East Palo Alto. Also, the Center for Independence of the Disabled provides
home modifications only for disabled persons.
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.
NEED:
South San Francisco (SSF) needs a free home repair program for its low-income neighbors. Since SSF has limited
affordable housing (median home price is $1.2M) it, like many cities on the peninsula, would benefit from
preserving its current affordable housing stock. Given that the San Francisco Bay Area boasts the second highest
construction costs in the world (International Construction Market Survey, 2023) and construction costs have
skyrocketed due to inflation, many of SSF’s low-income homeowners can’t afford to keep their homes in good
repair. Combine this with the fact that 77% of seniors desire to age-in-place (AARP 2021) and that falls are the
leading cause of injury for older adults (Source: CDC), the County’s elderly, low-income homeowners need access
to free home repairs and safety modifications.
AREA SERVED:
Since our Fiscal Year 2009-10, RTP has provided 250 SSF homeowners (and 12 community facilities) with free
repair services. SAH serves low-income homeowners across SSF.
TARGET POPULATION:
SAH serves low-income homeowners with a focus on homes with seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and
families with children.

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.
RTP conducts homeowner surveys to measure our success. In fiscal year 2022-23, RTP repaired 109 homes and
community facilities across its programs. For homeowners surveyed:
100% reported that our work has made their home a safer place to live;
96% reported that repairs created a healthier home environment for themselves and their family;
80% reported that completed repairs will make it easier for them to maintain their home; and
77% reported feeling less likely to fall in their home since repairs (another 23% stated N/A).
RTP’s NRD program holds current contracts with each jurisdiction. We expect to meet the majority of our 2023-24
deliverables by June 2024. Below is progress from July 2023 to Dec 2023:
San Mateo County - Homes: 3 served/in progress (goal = 8)
San Mateo County Community Facilities: 6 served/in progress (goal = 5)
RWC: 3 served/in progress (goal = 3)
City of San Mateo: 2 complete (goal = 5)
South San Francisco: 2 in progress (goal = 3)
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
For each NRD home repair project, RTP’s skilled staff provides support and training to a multidisciplinary volunteer
team. Each team consists of:
1. Construction Captain: coordinates the repair work, assists with the site inspection, evaluation, material
purchasing and volunteer assignments. Construction Captains work one-on-one with our NRD homeowners to
develop a scope of work that addresses the health and safety concerns of that individual project. Construction
Captains are skilled in home repair, and donate 40+ hours of volunteer time over two months to plan and prepare
repair projects for their homeowner.
2. Volunteer Captain: recruits and organizes volunteers at their rehabilitation site and assists the Construction
Captain in planning and managing the core group of helpers. Volunteer Captains contribute about 20 hours of
service to coordinate all the logistics for volunteers at each individual site on NRD.
3. Skilled Volunteers provide materials and skilled labor from assessment to completing projects like roofing and
plumbing. They are assigned to each site as needed.
4. Service Volunteers perform projects like carpentry projects, fire safety and accessibility modifications, debris
removal, interior and exterior painting, window or floor repairs, cleaning, landscaping, as well as moving furniture
and appliances.
5 Support Volunteers help with tasks from hospitality on project days to accounting, technology and more!
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.
RTP has received CDBG funding for over a decade. During this time, the homes we serve have become a decade
older (average 70 years old) and the repairs needed are more expensive. Combine this with inflation and you can
imagine the difficulty RTP is experiencing operating a free minor home repair program with essentially level funding
year-over-year. We understand CDBG dollars are not meant to cover the full cost of an agency's work. We leverage
CDBG dollars with other funds to make more repairs wherever possible. In fact, 58% of our agency’s budget comes
from private sources, 17% from CDBG, and 25% from other government sources. In addition, we leverage $250K
worth of skilled in-kind labor and materials every year.
Limited resources mean that we must choose between repairing an elderly homeowner's furnace or their hot water
heater, when neither is functional. Or between installing trip-resistant flooring or navigable stairs for a disabled
client. This means that vulnerable neighbors have to choose between a warm home or a warm shower, or
continuing to live with a major fall hazard even after we've “completed” repairs.
Thankfully, some jurisdictions have been helping us to combat increasing costs by increasing their contracts and/or
allowable cost per home. This proposal reflects similar increases. We realize that this may exceed the CDBG
allotment available for minor home repair. If this is the case, we hope you will explore complementary funding
streams.

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:
Note: The data above is for all of the members of the household, not just the homeowner, as the race/ethnicity of
household members can differ from the homeowner. Because this program serves a handful of households in each
jurisdiction it is difficult to perfectly align with the city’s overall demographics. However, the data above shows the
populations served in each jurisdiction are predominated by underserved populations.
RTP conducts grassroots outreach including door-to-door outreach; direct mail; distributing information about RTP’s
home repair programs to nonprofit and government agencies; participating in community events; social media
campaigns; and presentations at local senior centers, churches, and other groups. RTP is trusted by our neighbors
in need. Our staff guides homeowners through the application and home repair process, providing multilingual and
culturally competent support. We hold our general contractor’s license and are experts in navigating building code
and permitting processes, thereby reducing barriers for low-income, often monolingual, homeowners.
Of the population served last year by RTP:
-100% had low, very low, or extremely low income.
-81% had a senior living in the home.
-70% identified as a person of color, (33% Hispanic, 18% Asian, 8% Black or African American, 12% two or more
races, and 0.9% American Indian).
-68% have lived in their homes for 20+ years.
-65% had a person with a disability living in the home.
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 could not accomplish our mission to repair homes, revitalize communities and rebuild lives without leveraging
the in-kind support from individuals, skilled volunteers, community organizations, and corporations.
Our projected FY24-25 NRD budget is $1,069,009. Of this amount, we expect 35% to come from CDBG
jurisdictions, 47% to come from private funds (e.g. corporations, donors and foundations) and 18% from in-kind
donations. This demonstrates strong leverage of CDBG dollars.
To provide an example of expected FY2024-25 revenue for NRD, below are details on secured and pending
funding for FY2023-24 NRD.
National Rebuilding Day FY2023-24 Secured and Pending Funding Sources:
Sponsorships (secured and expected by April 2022): $365,750
Secured CDBG contracts: $299,925
Foundations (secured and expected by April 2022): $125,500
Individual donor and special event revenue: $44,000

2. Program Outcomes:
a. Please describe the accomplishments of program goals for FY/23.
For 2022-2023, RTP’s National Rebuilding Day program’s goal was to serve 3 homes in Redwood City. We met
our goal by serving 3.
RTP conducts homeowner surveys to measure our success. In fiscal year 2022-23, RTP repaired 119 homes and
community facilities across its programs. From homeowners surveyed:
98% reported that Rebuilding Together’s work has made their home a safer place to live;
93% reported that completed repairs contributed to their overall health and a healthier home environment;
96% reported being able to move around their home with little to no difficulty after repairs (i.e. less likely to fall)
and 93% reported no falls or injuries since repairs were completed; and
90% indicated they plan to age in place.
b. 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/23:
Lidia lives in a Redwood City house she shares with her 19-year-old niece and 13-year-old nephew. The house
originally belonged to her brother who also lived in the house. When he was diagnosed with cancer, Lidia quit her
job and used most of her savings to help pay for his treatments. That’s when she searched the internet for a way
to replace windows and fire alarms in the house, and she found RTP. A volunteer team, supported by RTP’s
construction professionals, repaired the house, which also included building a chicken coop for the family’s six
chickens. Among the many repairs, fixing the windows may have had the greatest impact as it not only helps keep
the house warm, but it reduces energy expenses. The house is also safer now that new fire alarms have been
installed. And repairing the kitchen sink eliminated a leak that was causing high water bills. Sadly, Lidia’s brother
lost his battle with cancer. Lidia was granted custody of his children, and she inherited the house, where she
continues to live with her niece and nephew. Today, Lidia works as a music educator at Music for Minors, a local
nonprofit. Lidia is still paying off a mortgage on the house, so money is tight. Lidia says it’s not just a house to her.
“It’s a piece of memory I’m fighting to preserve. The repairs had a huge impact on our daily lives, mostly because
the house is safer,” Lidia says. “Every day I wake up and breathe the fresh air in my yard. I still can’t believe this
was free.'

3. Marketing/Advertising
a. Check all of the following methods your agency utilizes to promote and advertise your programs and services:
Flyers/brochures
Website
Phone book listing
SMC Connect (Handbook/Database)
Outreach presentations to service providers
Outreach presentations to public
PSA’s
Social Media - Please list: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube
Other - Please describe: local news (e.g. San Mateo Daily Journal), Direct Mail, door to
b. Which of the above marketing/advertising materials are available in multi-langual form and which languages are
they available in?
All of RTP’s services and documents are provided in English and Spanish. If a homeowner requires another
language, RTP utilizes community partners that specialize with that population to serve as translators. In addition,
select marketing collateral is offered in multilingual formats including RTP’s main flyers, brochures and direct mail
pieces. RTP also conducts multilingual door- outreach and phone outreach.
c. How and where are the materials distributed?
In Redwood City and SSF, we make presentations and distribute materials to a variety of nonprofit, government
and community organizations (e.g. Fair Oaks & Veterans Memorial Community Centers, Redwood City Human
Service Agencies, and Peninsula Family Service). Through our NRD community facility repair program, RTP has
developed deep relationships with nonprofits throughout Redwood City and SSF that serve primarily low-income
people (e.g. Samaritan House Free Clinic, Kainos, StarVista, St. Francis Center, IHSD, schools and child care).
RTP’s National Rebuilding Day materials are distributed to low-income homeowners via: distributing fliers to low-
income homeowners (e.g. door hangers, fliers in Senior Centers’ grab and go lunches), direct mail using 'Leads
Please,' referrals from partner organizations, tabling at community events, making presentations to community
groups, social media campaigns, and more!

RTP’s National Rebuilding Day Home Rehabilitation program services low-income homeowners, majority elderly
and BIPOC, in San Mateo County. This program provides free home repair services that enable them to live in a
dry, clean, pest-free, ventilated, safe, contaminant-free, maintained, thermally controlled, accessible, and
affordable home.
RTP conducts outreach by tabling at community events, providing flyers to many partners, working with
government and nonprofit organizations to connect with their clients, sending direct mail and door-to-door
outreach. Simultaneously we reach out to corporate sponsors and volunteers to help us repair the homes on our
Fall and Spring Rebuilding Day, leveraging our resources as far as possible to make as many repairs as possible.
Each homeowner goes through a six steps over six months:
1. Low-income homeowner completes repair application.
2. RTP conducts a comprehensive Home Safety Assessment which assesses the health and safety repairs
needed based on the ten Principles of Healthy Homes.
3. In partnership with the homeowner, RTP develops a scope of work which provides a plan for how the health and
safety repairs will be completed.
4. Homeowner is paired with a volunteer Construction Captain who prepares the home for the work to be done on
NRD.
5. Repair and home modifications are completed by a team of volunteers on NRD, in either October or April.

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.
Safe at Home Program (SAH) objectives:
1. Low-income homeowners, majority elderly and BIPOC, in San Mateo County have access to free home repair
services that enable them to live in a dry, clean, pest-free, ventilated, safe, contaminant-free, maintained, thermally
controlled, accessible, and affordable home (the National Center for Healthy Housing’s ten principles of healthy
homes).
2. Safety and health priorities identified in each home are addressed by our expert repair technician, skilled
volunteers and/or trusted sub-contractors.
3. Participants are equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify health and safety hazards and
educated with maintenance tips to ensure the longevity of the repairs they receive.
Activities:
Each homeowner receives 5 services over a 3 month period:
1. Homeowner application is reviewed by RTP staff.
2. Staff conduct a comprehensive Home Safety Assessment which assesses the repairs needed.
3. Staff develop a Home Safety Plan (aka scope of work) which details how the repairs will be completed.
4. Repairs and home safety modifications are completed by our experienced repair technicians and trusted
subcontractors.
5. Staff review the project and collect feedback through surveys to assess the impact of our work on the
homeowner.
Priorities by jurisdiction:
SAH will repair 5 homes in Redwood City, 4 homes in the City of San Mateo, 10 homes in South San Francisco and
30 in the county.
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.
NEED:
Redwood City (RWC) needs a free home repair program for its low-income neighbors. Since RWC has limited
affordable housing (median RWC home price is $1.7M, per Zillow 1/2024), it – like many cities on the peninsula –
would benefit from preserving its current affordable housing stock. Given that the San Francisco Bay Area boasts
the second highest construction costs in the world (International Construction Market Survey, 2023) and
construction costs have climbed with recent inflation, many of RWC’s low-income homeowners can’t afford to keep
their homes in good repair. Combine this with the fact that 77% of seniors desire to age-in-place (AARP 2021) and
that falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults (Source: CDC), RWC’s elderly low-income homeowners
need access to free home repairs and safety modifications.
AREA SERVED:
Since our Fiscal Year 2009-10, RTP has provided 349 RWC homeowners with free home repair services. SAH
serves low-income homeowners across the city.
TARGET POPULATION:
SAH serves low-income homeowners with a focus on homes with seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and
families with children.

all low-income homeowners with a variety of health and safety repairs. With 35 years of experience and extensive
local networks, RTP is the leading home repair program in the county.
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.
NEED:
The City of San Mateo (SM) needs a free home repair program for its low-income neighbors. With a median home
price of $.5M, like many cities on the peninsula, would benefit from preserving its current affordable housing stock.
Given that the San Francisco Bay Area boasts the second highest construction costs in the world (International
Construction Market Survey, 2023) and construction costs have climbed due to skyrocketing inflation, many of SM’s
low-income homeowners can’t afford to keep their homes in good repair. Combine this with the fact that 77% of
seniors desire to age-in-place (AARP 2021) and that falls are the leading cause of injury for older adults (Source:
CDC), SM’s elderly, low-income homeowners need access to free home repairs and safety modifications.
AREA SERVED:
Since 2009-10, RTP has provided 216 City of San Mateo homeowners (and 32 community facilities) with free repair
services. SAH serves low-income homeowners across the city.
TARGET POPULATION:
SAH serves low-income homeowners with a focus on homes with seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and
families with children.
SIMILAR PROGRAMS:

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.
NEED:
The County of San Mateo (County) needs a free home repair program for its low-income neighbors. Since the
County has limited affordable housing (median home price = $1.5M) it, like many cities on the peninsula, would
benefit from preserving its current affordable housing stock. Given that the SF Bay Area boasts the second highest
construction costs in the world (International Construction Market Survey, 2023) and construction costs have
outpaced inflation, many of the County’s low-income homeowners can’t afford to keep their homes in good repair.
Combine this with the fact that 77% of seniors desire to age-in-place (AARP 2021) and that falls are the leading
cause of injury for older adults (Source: CDC), the County’s elderly, low-income homeowners need access to free
home repairs and safety modifications.
GEOGRAPHY:
Since our Fiscal Year 2009-10, RTP has provided 1,809 County homeowners (and 268 community facilities) with
free repairs. We serve low-income homeowners across the County.
POPULATION:
SAH provides repairs to low-income homeowners with a focus on homes with seniors, veterans, people with
disabilities, and families with children.
SIMILAR PROGRAMS:

NEED:
South San Francisco (SSF) needs a free home repair program for its low-income neighbors. Since SSF has limited
affordable housing (median home price is $1.2M) it, like many cities on the peninsula, would benefit from
preserving its current affordable housing stock. Given that the San Francisco Bay Area boasts the second highest
construction costs in the world (International Construction Market Survey, 2023) and construction costs have
skyrocketed due to inflation, many of SSF’s low-income homeowners can’t afford to keep their homes in good
repair. Combine this with the fact that 77% of seniors desire to age-in-place (AARP 2021) and that falls are the
leading cause of injury for older adults (Source: CDC), the County’s elderly, low-income homeowners need access
to free home repairs and safety modifications.
AREA SERVED:
Since our Fiscal Year 2009-10, RTP has provided 250 SSF homeowners (and 12 community facilities) with free
repair services. SAH serves low-income homeowners across SSF.

families with children.
SIMILAR PROGRAMS:
While the Center for Independence of the Disabled provides home modifications for disabled persons, RTP serves
all low-income homeowners with a wide range of health and safety repairs. With 35 years of experience, RTP is the
county’s leading home repair program.
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.
RTP’s Safe at Home program is fully operational and provides services on an ongoing basis. Each homeowner
receives five services over a three month period:
1. Homeowner completes an application which provides key information about the repairs needed.
2. RTP’s trained and experienced staff conduct a comprehensive Home Safety Assessment which assesses the
health and safety repairs needed based on the ten Principles of Healthy Housing.
3. In partnership with the homeowner, RTP’s staff develops a Home Safety Plan (aka scope of work) which
provides a detailed plan for how the critical health and safety repairs will be completed.
4. Repairs and home safety modifications are completed by our experienced repair technicians and trusted
subcontractors.
5. Final project review and survey collection which assesses the impact of our work on the homeowner's health and
safety.
RTP will submit invoices quarterly to ensure funds are spent in a timely manner.
SAH will serve at least the following number of homes by jurisdiction per year of the contract:
-Redwood City: 5 homes per year
-City of San Mateo: 4 homes per year
-County: 30 homes per year
-South San Francisco: 10 homes per year
RTP would like to be considered for a two-year contract so that we can plan deliverables with confidence and
provide seamless services to the low-income populations that we serve.
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.
RTP conducts homeowner surveys to measure our success. In fiscal year 2022-23, RTP repaired over 109 homes
and community facilities across its programs. For homeowners surveyed:
100% reported that our work has made their home a safer place to live;
96% reported that repairs created a healthier home environment for themselves and their family;
80% reported that completed repairs will make it easier for them to maintain their home; and
77% reported feeling less likely to fall in their home since repairs (another 23% stated N/A).
RTP’s Safe at Home program holds contracts with each jurisdiction. We expect to reach the majority of our
deliverables by June 2024. Accomplishments to date (July 2023 to Dec 2023):
-Redwood City: 5 homes served/in progress (goal = 5)
-City of San Mateo: 0 homes served/in progress (goal = 4)
-County of San Mateo: 16 homes served/in progress (goal = 30)
-South San Francisco: 9 homes served/in progress (goal = 10)
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
RTP could not accomplish our mission without collaboration. SAH benefits from the agency’s partnerships with
trade unions, vendors, and corporations that supply volunteer labor and significant in-kind donations. For example,
RTP recently made presentations to the core service agencies in San Mateo County; the Mentorship, Discover, and
Inspire men's group; Samaritan House; neighborhood groups; International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; the
pipefitters union; and the American Red Cross. We have also arranged discount materials and supplies from
Hayward Lumber, Master Plumbing and Ace Hardware. RTP is also building a partnership with Acterra to help
assist our clients in the East Palo Alto to North Fair Oaks area and with Peninsula Clean Energy in those areas
plus Belle Haven in Menlo Park. RTP also refers our clients to other programs that can assist them (e.g. Meals on
Wheels, El Concilio, and PG&E Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program). We receive referrals for potential
Safe at Home applicants from city staff, county social workers and case managers, hospitals, and local nonprofit
agencies.
RTP also participates in collaborative local efforts to implement systemic change as they relate to achieving our
vision of safe and healthy housing for everyone. RTP has participated in the San Mateo County Fall Prevention
Task Force, Thrive - The Alliance of Nonprofit for San Mateo County, and more!
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.

RTP has received CDBG funding for over a decade. During this time, the homes we serve have become a decade
older (average 70 years old) and the repairs needed are more expensive. Combine this with inflation and you can
imagine the difficulty RTP is experiencing operating a free minor home repair program with essentially level funding
year-over-year.
We understand CDBG dollars are not meant to cover the full cost of an agency's work. We leverage CDBG dollars
with other funds to make more repairs wherever possible. In fact, 58% of our agency’s budget comes from private
sources, 17% from CDBG, and 25% from other government sources. In addition, we leverage $250K worth of
skilled in-kind labor and materials every year.
Limited resources mean that we must choose between repairing an elderly homeowner's furnace or their hot water
heater, when neither is functional. Or between installing trip-resistant flooring or navigable stairs for a disabled
client. This means that vulnerable neighbors have to choose between a warm home or a warm shower, or
continuing to live with a major fall hazard even after we've “completed” repairs.
Thankfully, some jurisdictions have been helping us to combat increasing costs by increasing their contracts and/or
allowable cost per home. This proposal reflects similar increases. We realize that this may exceed the CDBG
allotment available for minor home repair. If this is the case, we hope you will explore other funding streams.

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:
Note: The data above is for all of the members of the household, not just the homeowner, as the race/ethnicity of
household members can differ from the homeowner. Because this program serves a handful of households in each
jurisdiction it is difficult to perfectly align with the city’s overall demographics. However, the data above shows the
populations served in each jurisdiction are predominated by underserved populations.
RTP conducts grassroots outreach including door-to-door outreach; direct mail; distributing information about RTP’s
home repair programs to nonprofit and government agencies; participating in community events; social media
campaigns; and presentations at local senior centers, churches, and other groups. RTP is trusted by our neighbors
in need. Our staff guides homeowners through the application and home repair process, providing multilingual and
culturally competent support. We hold our general contractor’s license and are experts in navigating building code
and permitting processes, thereby reducing barriers for low-income, often monolingual, homeowners.
Of homes served by free home repair programs last year:
-100% had low, very low, or extremely low income.
-81% had a senior living in the home.
-70% identified as a person of color, (33% Hispanic, 18% Asian, 8% Black or African American, 12% two or more
races, and 0.9% American Indian).
-68% have lived in their homes for 20+ years.
-65% had a resident with a disability
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your

For the City of Redwood City ONLY, answer the following:
1. Funding Criteria:
1. Priority: Creating Inclusive Communities with Affordable Housing: Creation of affordable housing and
preservation of existing affordable housing, including special needs housing. Following the City’s 2023-2031
Housing Element, this priority is to maintain and increase the diversity of housing types in all City neighborhoods
and preserve/protect its current affordable housing stock.
2. Program Outcomes:
a. Please describe the accomplishments of program goals for FY/23.
From July 2022 to June 2023, RTP’s Safe at Home’s program’s goal was to serve 5 homes in Redwood City. We
exceeded our goal by serving 9 homes.
Program outcomes: From July 2022 to June 2023, Safe at Home served 48 households (housing 89 residents)
with home repair services that ensured safe and healthy homes. For RTP satisfaction survey participants
surveyed over the last year:
98% reported that Rebuilding Together ’s work has made their home a safer place to live;
93% reported that completed repairs contributed to their overall health and a healthier home environment;
96% reported being able to move around their home with little to no difficulty after repairs (i.e. less likely to fall)
and 93% reported no falls or injuries since repairs were completed; and
90% indicated they plan to age in place.
b. 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/23:
Lidia lives in a Redwood City house she shares with her 19-year-old niece and 13-year-old nephew. The house
originally belonged to her brother who also lived in the house. When he was diagnosed with cancer, Lidia quit her
job and used most of her savings to help pay for his treatments. That’s when she searched the internet for a way
to replace windows and fire alarms in the house, and she found RTP. A volunteer team, supported by RTP’s
construction professionals, repaired the house, which also included building a chicken coop for the family’s six
chickens. Among the many repairs, fixing the windows may have had the greatest impact as it not only helps keep
the house warm, but it reduces energy expenses. The house is also safer now that new fire alarms have been
installed. And repairing the kitchen sink eliminated a leak that was causing high water bills. Sadly, Lidia’s brother
lost his battle with cancer. Lidia was granted custody of his children, and she inherited the house, where she
continues to live with her niece and nephew. Today, Lidia works as a music educator at Music for Minors, a local
nonprofit. Lidia is still paying off a mortgage on the house, so money is tight. Lidia says it’s not just a house to her.
“It’s a piece of memory I’m fighting to preserve….The repairs had a huge impact on our daily lives, mostly because
the house is safer,” Lidia says. “Every day I wake up and breathe the fresh air in my yard. I still can’t believe all of
the repairs were free.'

b. Which of the above marketing/advertising materials are available in multi-langual form and which languages are
they available in?
All of RTP’s services and documents are provided in English and Spanish. If a homeowner requires another
language, RTP utilizes community partners that specialize with that population to serve as translators. In addition,
select marketing collateral is offered in multi-lingual formats including RTP’s main flyers, brochures and direct mail
pieces. RTP also conducts multilingual door-to-door outreach and phone outreach.
c. How and where are the materials distributed?
In Redwood City and SSF, we make presentations and distribute materials to a variety of nonprofit, government
and community organizations (e.g. Fair Oaks & Veterans Memorial Community Centers, Redwood City Human
Service Agencies, and Peninsula Family Service). Through our NRD community facility repair program, RTP has
developed deep relationships with nonprofits throughout Redwood City and SSF that serve primarily low-income
people (e.g. Samaritan House Free Clinic, Kainos, StarVista, St. Francis Center, IHSD, schools and child care).
RTP’s Safe at Home materials are distributed to low-income homeowners via: distributing fliers to low-income
homeowners (e.g. door hangers, fliers in Senior Centers’ grab and go lunches), direct mail using 'Leads Please,',
referrals from partner organizations, tabling at community events, making presentations to community groups,
social media campaigns, and more!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the San Mateo County ONLY, answer the following:
1. Due to the usage and allocation restrictions, CDBG funding for FY24-25 is limited. If CDBG funding is not
available for your proposed project, would you be open to accepting funding from a Federal ESG, State ESG or
State PLHA grant if your project qualifies? These funding sources are subject to additional requirements and
specific reporting compliance which , which are outlined in the NOFA and/or will be provided to you by San Mateo
County.
Yes
2. Describe in detail the scope of work directly related to the requested budget items. Describe the objectives for
each activity and the specific tasks that need to be accomplished to achieve those objectives. The description
should use the guidelines listed below:
The purpose and nature of the different services to be offered and where they will be provided;
The tasks to be performed (outreach, intake, enrollment, day care services, etc.);
The level of service that will be provided for each activity (identified in some quantifiable unit of service, Ex.
Children cared for per month)
RTP’s Safe at Home program services low-income homeowners, majority elderly and BIPOC, in San Mateo
County. This program provides free home repair services that enable them to live in a dry, clean, pest-free,
ventilated, safe, contaminant-free, maintained, thermally controlled, accessible, and affordable home (the National
Center for Healthy Housing’s ten principles of healthy homes).
RTP reaches out to low-income populations to inform them about our free home repair programs. We table at
community events, provide flyers to many partners, work with government and nonprofit organizations to connect
with their clients, send direct mail and do door-to-door outreach.
Each homeowner receives 5 services over a 3 month period:
1. Homeowner completes an application which provides key information about the repairs needed and eligibility
information.
2. Once client intake and eligibility is complete, RTP’s trained and experienced staff conduct a comprehensive
Home Safety Assessment which assesses the health and safety repairs needed based on the ten Principles of
Healthy Housing.
3. In partnership with the homeowner, RTP’s staff develops a Home Safety Plan (aka scope of work) which
provides a detailed plan for how the critical health and safety repairs will be completed.
4. Repairs and home safety modifications are completed by our experienced repair technicians and trusted
subcontractors.
5. Final project review and impact survey.

To combat illegal housing discrimination and ensure civil rights protection, Project Sentinel provides
comprehensive fair housing services of complaint investigation and enforcement, consultation, information and
referral, and community outreach and education. Fair Housing investigations that reveal evidence of illegal
discrimination are addressed through education, conciliation, CRD filings, and private litigation. Information and
referral services link callers with the most appropriate resources. Education and outreach activities increase the
general population and target groups' awareness of the existence and benefits of fair housing. Housing providers
(landlords, property managers) are provided with literature and education workshops on fair housing compliance.
These services help create and maintain healthy communities and assist San Mateo County, San Mateo City, Daly
City, Redwood City, and South San Francisco to comply with CRD's directive to affirmatively further fair housing.
Proposed services will be delivered from Project Sentinel's Redwood City office, Monday through Friday from 9AM
to 5:00PM, with telephone intake from 9AM to 4PM. 'After-hours' work is scheduled as needed and by
appointments. There is no difference in the fair housing services provided to each jurisdiction except for quantity
and that is set by funding level. Regardless of funding level no one is denied service. Complaints are investigated
by testing, interviews, surveys, and document review.
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 CRD for the receipt of
federal funding. Fair Housing services will benefit those of protected status as well as the community as a whole
producing integrated, healthy communities. Victims of housing discrimination are often among the poorest and
most underserved residents of our community. Given that demographic data for Redwood City show that 31% of
the population are Hispanics, we have learned through our own data and experience that target population has
members how present with linguistic, cultural, mental, and physical barriers that contribute to discrimination often
prevent victims from perceiving, understanding and addressing discriminatory treatment. The post pandemic period
shows that it is continues to be the case that it is still harder for low income tenants to address discriminatory
treatment. Project Sentinel will combat 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. Fair Housing
encompasses all forms of housing with the majority of complaints coming from renters. The harsh rental housing
market (49% renters in Redwood City) and new law with protections for Section 8 and veterans require more fair
housing involvement.

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 ongoing. Service delivery and project implementation is therefore immediately available.
Reimbursement requests are based on direct service hours recorded on daily timesheets. Staff time spent on any
one jurisdiction will vary based on caseload 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 to achieve reasonable contract goals. There are
time periods we charge staff time to the federal contracts for work performed in the jurisdictions. This will result in
fewer charges to the jurisdictions for those time periods.
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.
Staff members are assigned specific numerical contract goals to achieve such as incoming calls, case processing
and outreach events. Each staff member consults with the director of fair housing regarding progress in meeting
these numerical goals. Project Sentinel’s fair housing director reviews work performance to ensure satisfactory
quality and quantity. Project Sentinel has been providing comprehensive fair housing services for many years and
has successfully complied with all contract terms over the years.
Quantitative: Case files will confirm fair housing investigation assistance as well as tangible outcomes. We follow
complaints beyond the investigation stage to final resolution. Phone logs will record information and referral
services as well as how callers learned of the service to help shape future outreach events efforts. Participant sign-
in sheets will confirm attendance at outreach presentations.
Qualitative: Process surveys, solicit feedback on education presentation 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.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Given that Project Sentinel has a history of service provision in San Mateo County, we collaborate 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’ housing 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
social 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), AARP (education, referrals), StarVista (education, referrals), Sunset Project 9education,
referrals) and Swords to Plowshares (education, referrals).
Project Sentinel is an active member of the San Mateo County Housing Advocates Quarterly Meeting (SMHAQM).
This collaborative includes the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County, the Stanford Law Clinic, and the Community
Legal Services in East Palo Alto. We are working to coordinate our
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.
Project Sentinel provides fair housing services throughout San Mateo County based on financial support from
each entitlement as well as HUD. Without entitlement money, our services would be severely restricted and likely
unable to meet all needs
Trends: the post pandemic period continues to show an increase in calls regarding certain protected categories:
sex, domestic violence, and housing providers not understanding that victims have fair housing rights and familial
status. We also have the added protected categories of Section 8 protection and criminal history. CRD has recently

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 makes presentations to the staff and/or clientele of other social service agencies to explain what
fair housing is and how to make an effective referral. In Fiscal Year 2024-2025, we plan to expand the number of
agencies we reach out to. These presentations target agencies that serve low-income tenants with assistance that
is different from what Project Sentinel provides. We consult with many of these agencies for ideas on how to
effectively reach the target population and how to present educational information. We will continue to use various
forms of social media. Educational material has been translated in Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog and
Korean.
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. We were awarded a three (3)
year HUD enforcement grant In October 2021; thus, this leverage is secured until September of 2024. San Mateo
County can expect a contribution of $15,500; San Mateo City $10,273; South San Francisco $5,900; Redwood City
$6,500 and Daly City $6,500. We provide fee generating fair housing training to housing providers. Project Sentinel
is able to secure in-kind contributions from attorneys for case consultation and for legal representation.

For the City of Redwood City ONLY, answer the following:
1. Funding Criteria:
3. Priority: Sustain or Expand Human Services: Sustain or expand the high level of basic human needs
services for extremely low-, very low-, low- and moderate-income persons and households including but not
limited to childcare, mental health and substance abuse services.
2. Program Outcomes:
a. Please describe the accomplishments of program goals for FY/23.
During the 2022-2023 fiscal year, Project Sentinel conducted 15 investigations, serving 22 total people. We
provided information, referral, and consultations to 35 households, serving a total of 75 people. Finally, we
attended or hosted six outreach events, serving a total of 43 persons. We also hosted a Fair Housing Symposium
held in Redwood City with 83 attendees in April.
After a host of staff changes in FY2122, we finally have a strong Fair Housing Team with consistency,
commitment, and drive. We end this year with five Fair Housing Coordinators, three of which were hired during
FY2223, a new Civil Rights Investigative Coordinator, and a new Staff Attorney. Each of these five new team
members have presented themselves to be hard working and passionate about Fair Housing issues. We also
adjusted our team structure to include an Outreach Coordinator and Assistant Director of Fair Housing, both of
whom were hired internally and are seasoned advocates, well deserving of their promotion. These changes have
been successful in providing necessary structure and defining role responsibilities, making our team’s workflow
more efficient and focused.
b. 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/23:
Our client this Quarter (#11639) was a repeat caller from a previous case we successfully resolved with
anapproval of a Reasonable Accommodation due to disability-related need. This time, the caller’s complex
recentlyhad a fire and the caller had serious concerns for her, and others’, safety. The fire left multiple residents
withdisabilities entrapped in their units as the elevator shut down and there was no alternative route for them to
leave.Management seemed to have little to no training as to what to do during a fire emergency. The caller was at
a lossfor what to do, and knew she could call Project Sentinel after our success in the previous issues she faced.
Project Sentinel staff immediately responded to the complaint and opened up a case. They sent a letter to
management with an account of the event and a demand that they establish better fire protocol, with particular
attention given to the safety of residents with disabilities. Understanding the limitations of Project Sentinel
expertise with fire safety, staff called the Fire Marshall to submit a complaint and request action be taken. At this
time, there has been no response from management, but both Project Sentinel staff and the client feels that the
issue will be addressed by the Fire Marshall in full.
For the Cities of South San Francisco and Redwood City ONLY, answer the following:

b. Which of the above marketing/advertising materials are available in multi-langual form and which languages are
they available in?

and several other Asian languages. The educational documents include tri fold brochures that have been
developed for each of the state and federal protected categories. We have also published a fair housing manual
for housing providers that is available in English and Chinese. We have a bilingual staff member who gives
outreach presentations in Spanish to both service providers and to the public.
c. How and where are the materials distributed?
Educational material is distributed at outreach events, to various sites for public display (municipal offices),
businesses such as laundromats and grocery stores bulletin boards. Other social service agencies will help

distribute the literature. We have also used direct mail. The educational material is available on the agency
website. Prior to the pandemic we would staff a display table at community fairs and events. We will return to in
person outreach when the public health directives allow such activities.

With support from the City of Redwood City, City of San Mateo, City of South San Francisco and County of San
Mateo, Renaissance Peninsula will support 230 low-income English- and Spanish-speaking women and men: 60 in
Redwood City; 60 in the City of San Mateo; 30 in the City of South San Francisco; and 80 in the County of San

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.
Per the 2024/25 Consolidated Plan, supporting entrepreneurship programs and businesses, targeting businesses
owned by minority populations (Priority 5/Goal 7), Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center (Renaissance) brings the
power of entrepreneurship to individuals and families from under-resourced communities and populations. 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 sustainable new businesses, new jobs, and
the promotion of financial self-sufficiency.
Small business ownership offers one of the surest routes to economic mobility for low-income persons, women,
immigrants, people of color, people with disabilities, seniors, and formerly incarcerated persons. Small businesses
create employment for the business owners themselves and other residents, build assets, fill commercial
vacancies, and promote local economic vitality. While 35.4% of Redwood City residents are Hispanic/Latino (US
Census, 2021 Est.), only 33.8% of businesses are minority-owned (US Census, 2021) (note this includes Latino as
other people of color.). While 50.2% of the Redwood City population are women (US Census, 2021 Est.), only 37.6
of businesses are women-owned (US Census, 2021 Est.). Renaissance clients in Redwood City are: 79%
Hispanic/Latino; 79% people of color; 68% women; and over 90% are extremely low- to moderate-income.
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.
Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center (Renaissance) breaks the cycle of poverty by bringing the power of
entrepreneurship to individuals and families from under-resourced communities and populations. 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 sustainable new businesses, new jobs, and the
promotion of financial self-sufficiency. 50% of the City of San Mateo residents are low-income (City of San Mateo
Consolidated Plan 2015-2017) and 36.1% are Hispanic/Latino (US Census, 2021 Estimate).
As listed in the Consolidated Plan (2023 – 27), due to the concentration of low-income and minority households, as
well as overcrowding and aging housing stock, the City will prioritize funding for capital projects located within the
CDBG Priority Neighborhood area. Of the priorities, a high priority (#5 in the Plan) is Economic
Development/Microbusiness Enterprise Assistance and through the community engagement process, residents
and stakeholders identified the need for assistance to small businesses owned by low-income residents. In
addition, to provide grants to non-profit service providers who assist low- and moderate-income residents who own

Economic inequality in the Bay Area, and Silicon Valley in particular, is growing at unprecedented rates. According
to the Census Reporter (2022), 28% of resident's income range from $100k to $200k and 17% are under $50k.
7.2% are below the poverty line, which represents three-fifths rate of California. While the median income for the
County is $133,612 it ranges from upwards $240,000 in Atherton to around $50,000 in East Palo Alto. 60% of San
Mateo County identify as people of color and 24% identify as Latino.
Renaissance Peninsula serves residents of the County of San Mateo who are most in need: 91% are extremely-
low to moderate-income; 71% of San Mateo County identify as women; over 60% Hispanic/Latino; 30% Pacific
Islander and Asian; 17% Black/African American; and 38% Caucasian.

Peninsula. 40.8% of the population is of Asian or Pacific Islander descent, with large populations of Filipino and
Chinese, 34.5% are Caucasian, and 33.3% are Latino/Hispanic. 40.3% of residents were born outside of the
country. Despite the high median household income citywide ($105,549), the highest income areas are at $133,906

32 jobs in Redwood City; 32 jobs in the City of San Mateo; 18 jobs in the City of South San Francisco and 45 jobs
in the County of San Mateo, including the business owners themselves.
Renaissance Peninsula is on track to achieve our FY 2023-24 objectives. As of the 2nd quarter, we have served 38
of the 60 anticipated low-income residents of Redwood City, 106 of the anticipated 80 low-income residents of the
County of San Mateo, 18 of the anticipated 30 in the city of San Mateo, and 21 of the 30 anticipated low-income
residents of South San Francisco. Renaissance measures the success of our program by tracking client progress
through our outcomes tracker, VistaShare. Each client entering Renaissance completes an intake form to provide
baseline financial and demographic information, along with their goals for enrolling in Renaissance. We then track
client progress and changes in their personal or business circumstances as a result of receiving our services. We
also conduct evaluations at the completion of services delivered to receive client fe
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and
how it relates to the proposed project.
Renaissance has been building strong relationships with community-serving organizations throughout the County
of San Mateo for over 15 years. Renaissance partners with the South San Francisco Public Library, the Daly City
Public Library and the San Mateo County Library to provide off-site trainings at their facilities; and with various
community institutions including core services agencies, places of worship, chambers of commerce, and
community centers who conduct outreach to community members. We partner with the Lawyers' Committee for
Civil Rights (LCCR) and the San Francisco Community Business Law Center to offer legal support services to our
clients. Renaissance collaborates with CLSEPA, Nuestra Casa, Project WeHope, San Mateo Credit Union, and
Community Financial Resources (CFR) to offer Secure Futures/Futuros Seguros, our financial education and
savings 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.
For-profit organizations in Silicon Valley offer business accelerators for entrepreneurs in the technology sector, but
few resources are available to low-income women and men committed to launching and growing more traditional
small businesses. The generous partnership and support of Redwood City, the City of San Mateo, the City of South
San Francisco and the County of San Mateo will enable Renaissance Peninsula to provide low-income English-
and Spanish-speaking women and men with small business training, one-on-one consulting, and access to
resources and networks needed to launch and grow successful businesses. Without this support, we could only
serve minimal numbers of clients in Redwood City, the City of San Mateo, the City of South San Francisco and the
County of San Mateo, resulting in a significantly lower number of businesses that can rebuild, launch and grow.
Fifty percent of all small businesses fail within five years (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics); whereas 96% of clients
who come to Renaissance in business, stay in business. Government support also enables Renaissance to attract
additional funds from foundations and corporations.

community. We partner with anchor institutions such as churches and food distribution centers to further build trust
with the undocumented community. We partner with banks and credit unions who are looking to invest in
undocumented community through ITIN banking to ensure that undocumented persons become full participants in
the economy. In addition, we use social media in English and Spanish to post our events, classes, and mixers. We
also display brochures and flyers in strategic locations including the Redwood City Hall, libraries, core services
agencies, and community centers. Our website provides information on our programs, including course
descriptions, a schedule of classes and available services.

2023, Renaissance conducted an orientation session at the local Sequoia Adult School, and Marlon shared that
he ran a construction business and needed assistance with marketing, as it was an unfamiliar territory for him.
Recognizing his potential for growth, we introduced Marlon to the BizCert program and the range of classes
available at the Sequoia Adult School. He eagerly enrolled in our three-week course on Facebook Marketing,
where he gained valuable insights and skills to effectively promote his construction business through social media.
To further support his progress, Marlon had three consultations with a business consultant. During these sessions,
the consultant provided personalized guidance on improving his business's social media presence.

Report regarding a study session on the potential formation of an Eastern Neighborhoods
Community Facilities District. (Christina Fernandez, Deputy City Manager; Daniel Jacobson,
Fehr & Peers; Noah Christman, Lighthouse Public Affairs; Susan Goodwin, Goodwin Consulting
Group)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive a report on the potential formation of an
Eastern Neighborhoods Community Facilities District and provide feedback and guidance
on future efforts.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
What is a Community Facilities District (CFD)?
Mello-Roos Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) are a type of special tax district formed when
property owners within a geographic area agree to impose a special tax on property in order to
fund infrastructure improvements or services. These special taxes can then be used either for
pay-as-you-go financing or to pay debt service on tax-exempt bonds issued against the
anticipated revenue from the CFD. The only standard for the special tax is that it be reasonable
and that it not be ad valorem (i.e., it cannot be based on property value).
CFDs require a two-thirds vote of property owners, so long as there are no more than 11
registered voters living within the proposed district. More than 11 registered voters living in the
district requires a two-thirds vote of registered voters.
Is the Eastern Neighborhoods CFD the same as the 2019 East of 101 CFD/Industrial Area
CFD? What’s the difference?
While the purpose and goals to improve transportation infrastructure remains the same, the
Eastern Neighborhoods CFD varies in the type and selection of projects in its portfolio. The 2019
CFD focused on longer term, large capital improvement projects focused on the commute
experience of employees East of 101. While the Eastern Neighborhoods CFD remains focused
on improving transportation, it targets projects that may be built relatively quickly for an
immediate impact and improvement on the internal connectivity East of Highway 101.
Why do we need a CFD?
245
2
To date, the City has collected one time transportation impact fees in the amount of
approximately $32 million. These one-time funds have been crucial to the planning and
development of transportation improvements but given several competing transportation needs,
these one-time funds do not have the same impact and leverage as the bonding capacity of a
CFD. The CFD allows property owners to have a voice and tax themselves for identified
transportation improvements. It is a public financing mechanism, which allows the City to sell
tax-exempt bonds. This allows the City to quickly implement, and scale identified transportation
needs in our biotechnology and industrial core.
In 2019, the City anticipated employment growth of 55,000 workers by 2040, which was a near
doubling of employment growth. Despite a global pandemic, the City’s General Plan now
estimates a near tripling of employment growth with 100,000 workers East of 101 by 2040.
Existing infrastructure is insufficient to handle this growth and was largely built for lower
intensity industrial uses. Employers and property owners have expressed a desire to modernize
streets to provide world-class active transportation and transit infrastructure while proactively
accommodating expected changes in land use.
Who pays for a CFD?
Property owners within the CFD boundaries will be provided the opportunity to vote on the
formation of a CFD. If successful, these same property owners will be taxed based on the square
footage of their buildings. Given the differences in industry types East of 101, the City
anticipates a maximum special tax rate variation between land use class type. Those types
include: (1) Office, R&D, Retail, Hotels & Other Commercial; (2) Warehouse and Industrial;
and (3) Residential.
What is the benefit of forming a CFD?
There are many financial benefits to forming a CFD. The City may bond against CFD s pecial tax
revenues and have a much larger pot of funding to accelerate project delivery. This saves money
in the long run given current construction costs and inflation rates. Additionally, the CFD allows
flexibility to set different maximum special tax rates based on land use class. For instance,
R&D/office may be able to charge their tenants higher rent prices meaning they may be able to
afford a higher maximum special tax rate in contrast to Warehouse/Industrial land use types
(which may need a lower tax rate). A CFD also allows property owners to have a direct say in
the formation of a CFD. The formation of a CFD requires a 2/3-vote meaning at least 2/3 of
property owners (based on square footage of the CFD) must vote in favor of taxing themselves in
order for the City to form a CFD.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In 2018 and 2019, the City of South San Francisco underwent an extensive master transportation
planning effort, providing two master documents titled Active South City (Active SSF) and
Mobility 20/20. Active SSF focused on the internal connectivity, namely bicycle and pedestrian
246
3
improvements whereas Mobility 20/20 focused on transportation improvements necessary to
improve and remain economically competitive East of Highway 101. Both master planning efforts
informed the Shape SSF 2040 General Plan efforts updating zoning and growth expectations for
the area, which took place between 2019 and 2022.
In 2019, informed by the Mobility 20/20 master plan, the City began outreach in pursuit of the
formation of a Community Facilities District East of Highway 101. This CFD was commonly
known as the East of 101 CFD as the focus of the transportation improvements was East of
Highway 101, benefiting both the biotechnology cluster and industrial core.
During this time, the City also participated in the Oyster Point Mobility Vision Plan, an employer
led effort, which provided Oyster Point property owners the opportunity to give their feedback on
necessary transportation improvements East of Highway 101. These meetings provided the City
the opportunity to hear directly from Oyster Point property owners on their industry’s
transportation needs. These meetings coupled with the City’s transportation planning laid the
groundwork for a new iteration of a Community Facilities District renamed the Eastern
Neighborhoods Community Facilities District.
Over the past two years, the Oyster Point Mobility Steering Committee has done extensive analysis
and refreshed the City’s original 2019 portfolio of projects to reflect the current and future needs
East of Highway 101. The City has taken these considerations into account in updating the Eastern
Neighborhoods CFD portfolio list.
Transportation Solutions
The City hired transportation consultant, Fehr & Peers, to assist in master transportation planning
efforts spanning multiple years. City staff and Fehr & Peers have worked closely in identifying
potential transportation solutions that help meet the current and future needs east of 101. These
solutions are based on these efforts, as well as input from the Oyster Point Mobility Vision Plan.
Unlike the 2019 CFD, the Eastern Neighborhoods CFD focuses on complete streets and corridor
planning is in the process of preparing conceptual designs and cost estimates for all potential
projects. Major infrastructure projects, such as the Utah Avenue Overcrossing, are being pursued
separately and are not part of the Eastern Neighborhoods CFD.
Potential projects take into account balancing a multimodal approach while considering the level
of impact, the complexity of implementation, cost and funding, and other supportive transportation
services. In aggregate, identified projects have the potenti al to improve internal connectivity with
new street connections, stronger Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs, and
walking/bicycling investments.
The City is currently drafting designs for all major street corridors East of 101. This effort
identifies key changes to improve safety, access, throughput, and connections. It also achieves the
buildout of the General Plan, Active South City Plan, and Oyster Point Mobility Vision Plan. A
$150M to $180M CFD would cover most of the transportation projects envisioned in the General
Plan and identified via stakeholder input, including the modernization of Oyster Point, East Grand,
247
4
Gateway, Forbes, South Airport, Utah, access to Caltrain, new streets and trails, and more.
In preparation for the Eastern Neighborhoods CFD, the City has prepared conceptual designs for
complete streets improvements throughout the East of 101 area. These improvements include 8.6
miles of improvements to streets and trails, 30 intersections, and 6 new trails and streets. (Figure
1)
Figure 1 – Study Corridors
As identified in the City’s transportation planning efforts, improving bicycle and pedestrian
facilities is a key goal for the East of 101 area. The current bike facility study underway identifies
248
5
5.4 miles of new separated bikeways and trails and 6 bikeway connections across Highway 101.
(Figure 2)
Figure 2 – Bicycle Facilities
Multimodal transportation connectivity is emphasized in all of the City’s transportation planning
goals. Those include improvement of transit facilities and prioritization of buses and shuttles
along key transit routes such as Oyster Point, East Grand, Gateway, and South Airport. This
effort includes the creation of 1.6 miles of transit only lanes, 24 bus stop upgrades and access
improvements, and access improvements at regional transit hubs such as the South San Francisco
Caltrain Station and the South San Francisco Ferry Terminal. (Figure 3)
249

Figure 3 – Transit Facilities
In identifying key corridors for study, two high priority corridors were identified by
transportation planners as well as by the Oyster Point Mobility Vision Plan. Those corridors
include the Oyster Point Boulevard Corridor and the East Grand Avenue Corridor.
Improvements to both corridors will serve cars, transit, bicycles, and pedestrians.
In addition to corridor wide improvements, other high priority projects include road paving East
of Highway 101, key intersection improvements, Caltrain Access Improvements, and Rails to
250
7
Trails improvements. As cost estimates are being finalized, further refinement of the project list
may be necessary.
Outreach & Engagement
Over 260 property owners, representing nearly 1,035 acres are located within the Eastern
Neighborhoods CFD. In an effort to foster healthy business relationships and in the spirit of
collaboration, the City continues to reach out to stakeholders of all industry types in the East of
101 area. The City has retained Lighthouse Public Affairs to assist in this effort given their
expertise in public and business engagement initiatives.
Lighthouse Public Affairs has prepared an outreach and engagement plan which has been
developed in conjunction with the City’s existing outreach and engagement efforts. The first step
in the outreach plan is to provide each property owner within the East of 101 area with a letter
detailing the City’s efforts in improving transportation by forming a CFD. This letter also
informs property owners of a dedicated website for this initiative, www.ssf-cfd.com.
In late March to mid-April 2024, engagement efforts will include door knocking, emails, calls,
and other one-on-one outreach methods. In mid-April 2024, the City will host five to six
community town halls and in late April to early May 2024 will continue with one-on-one follow
ups with property owners.
In May 2024, the City will evaluate feedback to identify gaps within our CFD to ensure that the
proposal will meet the needs of property owners East of 101 and will garner sufficient support to
be successful. In late May 2024, the City will host another five to six community town halls and
in late May to early June 2024, the City will again follow up with property owners and
stakeholders. In mid to late June 2024, the City will again reevaluate feedback from the second
round of engagement to ensure that the City will have enough support to move forward
successfully.
Financing
CFDs provide flexibility in the types of improvements to be funded. The CFD may fund any
public improvement with a useful life of five years or longer. CFDs may also fund public
services. These improvements do not need to be located within the CFD boundaries; however, it
is the intention to invest CFD bond proceeds back into the East of 101 area. There is no benefit
finding required and tax-exempt bonds may be sold to fund improvements. Portions of the
special tax may transition to fund the repair and replacement of facilities once all the bonds have
been paid off.
The financial model will be dependent upon the estimated cost estimates as well as the property
owner and stakeholder feedback received during the outreach process. The maximum tax rate
will vary based on land use. The land use types include (1) Office, R&D, Retail, Hotels, other
commercial, (2) Warehouse & Industrial, and (3) Residential. The amount of net construction
proceeds that can be generated will be influenced by the fluctuations in interest rates.
251

A special tax lien must be recorded against parcels in the CFD by the middle of July of a fiscal
year in order to make the County’s property tax rolls in August of that fiscal year. The property
owner’s first payment would then be due in December and the second payment w ould be due in
April of that fiscal year.
Formation of a CFD
Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (“Mello-Roos Act”), a CFD is a
defined geographic area in which the City is authorized to levy annual special taxes to be used to
either finance directly the costs of specified public improvements and/or public services, or to
pay debt service on bonds issued to finance the public improvements, as well as to pay costs of
administering the CFD. CFD formation can be initiated either by a local agency or via a written
petition from the registered voters or owners within a proposed district.
City staff has engaged the services of Goodwin Consulting Group, Inc. (GCG) to serve as special
tax consultant in the formation of the CFD. In coordination with City staff, GCG will confirm
property ownership and land use information within the City and compile a summary of the
taxable square footage in and expected in the CFD. Additionally, GCG will take on the role of
Special Tax Consultant and prepare the “Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Tax”
(RMA) as part of the CFD formation process.
As part of the first legislative action required to form the CFD, a Rate and Method of
Apportionment of the Special Tax (RMA) report is required. The report will calculate the annual
levy by the proposed CFD needed to pay for public facilities and services and must be included
in the resolutions to be adopted by the City Council as part of the CFD formation process. The
RMA will be prepared by GCG.
The process of establishing a CFD requires at least four City Council meetings:
Meeting Number One: Adoption of two resolutions: a Resolution of Intention (ROI) setting
forth the City’s intention to establish the CFD, designating the name of the CFD, identifying the
services and facilities to be funded by the CFD, stating the City’s intention to levy a special tax
annually on property within the CFD to pay for these services and facilities, and approving the
RMA that details how the special tax will be levied on properties within the CFD and sets the
maximum special tax rates that can be levied within the CFD. The ROI also sets the date for the
required public hearing (30 to 60 days later) on the matters set forth in the ROI. The second
resolution, a Resolution of Intention to Incur Indebtedness, sets forth the Council’s intention to
issue bonds supported by the special taxes. This resolution also sets a public hearing for the same
date.
Meeting Number Two: Hold the noticed public hearings at a City Council meeting. Following
the public hearings, the City Council is presented with two resolutions: a resolution forming the
CFD, and a resolution calling the special tax election (90 to 180 days later) by the la ndowner
voters within the CFD.
252
9
Between meeting number two and meeting number three, ballots will be distributed to owners of
property within the CFD. The materials distributed will include information about the proposed
uses of the special tax revenue, the proposed tax rates, the requir ements for approval of the CFD,
and the method and deadline for returning ballots.
Meeting Number Three: Opening and counting of ballots. If the CFD gains the required
number of votes for passage, the City Council will adopt a Resolution Confirming Results of
Special Election and introduce an ordinance ordering the levy of special taxes within the CFD.
Meeting Number Four: Hold a second reading to adopt the special tax ordinance ordering the
levy of special taxes within the CFD. After formation of the CFD, a special tax is levied annually
on taxable properties that are located within the boundaries of the CFD.
Next steps
The City has kicked off the outreach and engagement process with the mailing of a letter to all
property owners, generating awareness around the CFD. The City will continue to promote the
CFD website and will begin its next phase of outreach which includes door knocking, emails,
calls, and other individualized outreach.
Simultaneously, the financing team will commence preparation of the formation documents
including the RMA, the List of Authorized Facilities and Services, Map of CFD Boundaries and
Future Annexation Area, and Resolutions for adoption by Council.
The transportation planning team will finish finalizing the cost estimates and conceptual designs
for all projects on the project list. The City will then use the cost estimates to inform future
determinations around the maximum tax rate for each land use type.
Staff anticipates coming back to Council in June 2024 with the results of outreach efforts.
FISCAL IMPACT
Without firm maximum tax rates for each land use, which will not be finalized until staff have met
with stakeholders during the outreach process, it is unknown how much a CFD would ultimately
generate. City staff anticipates having a better understanding of this amount following an extensive
stakeholder engagement process occurring now through June 2024.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The potential formation of an Eastern Neighborhoods Community Facilities District meets
Strategic Plan Goal #5 – Economic Vitality.

It is recommended that the City Council receive a report on the potential formation of an
Eastern Neighborhoods Community Facilities District and provide feedback and guidance
on future efforts.

Motion to accept the report regarding the 2023 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports
(Tony Rozzi,Economic &Community Development Deputy Director;Billy Gross,Principal Planner;and
Stephanie Skangos, Senior Planner)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council take the following actions:
1.Accept the 2023 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports; and
2.Authorize its transmittal to the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR)
and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
California Government Code Section 65400 requires that Annual Progress Reports (APRs)be prepared on the
status and implementation of the current General Plan and Housing Element.The APRs must be submitted to
the City Council,the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR),and the California Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD)by April 1st of each year (with a 60-day grace period).The City intends
to file the APR before the April 1st deadline.The General Plan Implementation Progress table is included as
Attachments 1 and 2, and the Housing Element APRs are included as Attachments 3 and 4.
GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
Introduction
A General Plan is the local government’s long-term blueprint for the community’s vision of future growth.Each
city is required by California law to have a General Plan,comprised of minimum of seven mandated
“Elements”,to guide its future land use decisions.South San Francisco’s last comprehensive General Plan
update occurred in 2022 (Shape SSF 2040).
The Shape SSF 2040 General Plan was shaped through a three-year public engagement process,providing a
roadmap for the City to implement policies and actions that create a resilient community,improve the quality of
life of its residents,and expand economic development opportunities.The development of the plan was guided
by an overarching vision, a set of community values, and guiding principles.
-Vision.South San Francisco is a place where everyone can thrive.Its high quality of life,diverse and
inclusive community,livable neighborhoods and excellent services,culture of innovation,and
environmental leadership ensure all people have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
-Community Values
o Diversity + Inclusion
o Livability
o Sustainability
o Innovation

Version:1 Item #:8.
-Guiding Principles
o Affordable, safe, attractive, amenity-rich neighborhoods
o High-quality and accessible services,facilities,and amenities for residents at all stages of their
lives
o A safe, convenient, and accessible transportation network well-connected to the region
o A resilient community
o A prosperous downtown and local economy
Status of the Adopted Elements of the General Plan
State law requires that general plans include seven mandated elements:land use,housing,circulation,
conservation,open space,noise,and safety.Cities such as South San Francisco that have identified
disadvantaged communities must also address environmental justice and air quality in their general plans.
Finally,State law allows the general plan to contain other elements for topics of local concern.Following is a
breakdown of how the Shape SSF 2040 elements correspond with State requirements,and the year that each
element was last updated.
Table 1: General Plan Elements
Compliance with State OPR Guidelines and State Legislation
OPR adopts and periodically revises General Plan Guidelines for the preparation and content of general plans,
including detailed information on statutory requirements of the mandated general plan elements.Shape SSF
2040 was adopted in October 2022,and is consistent with all statutory requirements,including environmental
justice considerations and consultation with Native American tribes.
General Plan Amendments
Lindenville Specific Plan
In September 2023,the City Council adopted the Lindenville Specific Plan,which included amendments to the

File #:24-206 Agenda Date:3/27/2024
Version:1 Item #:8.
In September 2023,the City Council adopted the Lindenville Specific Plan,which included amendments to the
Shape SSF 2040 General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance.The Lindenville Specific Plan will be the guiding
document to help realize Shape SSF 2040's vision for the Lindenville sub-area as a mixed-use neighborhood,
employment hub,and cultural center of South San Francisco.Walkable,connected districts,including the South
Spruce corridor,are envisioned as lively destinations where people have easy access to retail,parks,and other
community resources.The Specific Plan will preserve the City's industrial heritage but will also provide new
opportunities for people to live in the district.A revitalized Colma Creek has the potential to become a
community-serving linear park with restored ecology that benefits the health and wellbeing of people and
wildlife.Overall,the Specific Plan presents a unique opportunity to balance priorities that have multiple
benefits,including the City’s preparation for climate change impacts and changing demands in the housing and
industrial sectors.
As part of the Lindenville Specific Plan,amendments were made to the following Shape SSF 2040 Elements:
Land Use and Community Design,Sub-Areas,Mobility and Access,Abundant and Accessible Parks and
Recreation,and Community Health and Environmental Justice.These amendments were made to ensure that
the Lindenville Specific Plan and Shape SSF 2040 are consistent with one another.
Shape SSF 2040 Implementation
Shape SSF 2040 was adopted with a 20-year time horizon,and implementation of its goals and policies is
intended to be a short-,medium-and long-term effort over that span.Within its eleven Elements,Shape SSF
2040 includes 569 policies;402 of those policies have no separate associated actions,while the remaining
policies have 362 associated actions.This results in a total of 764 separate policies/actions for which staff is
tracking implementation.Due to the sheer number of items,and the long-term nature of the General Plan,it is
important to note that not all policy and action items are part of current work plans.
Since adoption in 2022,51%of the 764 policies and actions have been completed or are considered as
“Ongoing”,17%are considered underway,and 33%have had no action at this time.The following table
summarizes the status of all items by Element;a detailed table showing the 2023 status of all policies/actions is
attached (Attachment 1 is a pdf version, Attachment 2 is an Excel version).

HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT
Introduction
California requires each jurisdiction to prepare a Housing Element as part of its General Plan to ensure that all
jurisdictions are planning for the projected housing demand throughout the State.A Housing Element is one of
the seven State-mandated elements of the General Plan.Unlike other elements of a General Plan,the Housing
Element must be updated by deadlines set by the State.The Housing Element is the blueprint for future housing
development in the city,and includes goals,policies,and programs that direct residential decision-making.The
Housing Element is required by State law to identify how and where the housing needs of each community will
be met.
The process begins with the State advising a region of its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA),which
is the estimated number of housing units that will be needed over the planning period (usually eight years).This
allocation is further subdivided among four household income categories:very-low,low,moderate,and above
moderate.
The City adopted a new Housing Element in January 2023,that covers a planning cycle running from January
31,2023 to January 31,2031.RHNA allocation for Cycle 6 is on a slightly different timeline and covers the
period from June 30,2022,to December 15,2030.The City of South San Francisco has a RHNA allocation of
3,956 units for RHNA Cycle 6.If a city does not comply with the State Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD)requirements for their Housing Element,there is a risk of Housing Element
litigation,loss of local land use control,the RHNA numbers (allocation)becoming cumulative (per AB 1233),
and ineligibility for qualifying for State Housing Funds and other infrastructure funds.
Housing Element Compliance with HCD Guidelines
The South San Francisco Housing Element covers the period of 2023-2031,and this APR represents the yearly
update on housing production.The formatting for the report continues to evolve to match the state’s high
priority for new housing units.This APR provides a comprehensive view of entitlement and building permitting

priority for new housing units.This APR provides a comprehensive view of entitlement and building permitting

Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress Summary
For 2023,the City is reporting building permit issuance for 87 new residential units,which includes four (4)
single-family homes,four (4)small multi-family units (located within two-to-four-unit structures),36 multi-
family units (for the Baden Station Project),and 43 accessory dwelling units (ADUs).For the RHNA Cycle 6
projection period running from June 30,2022,to January 30,2023,the City is reporting building permit
issuance for 29 new residential units;there is no breakdown of unit type for the projection period.New units
that receive building permit issuance during the reporting year are counted towards the current RHNA
allocation.
In addition to the new units issued a building permit described above,a total of 216 new residential units were
finaled or issued a certificate of occupancy in 2023.This includes two (2)single-family homes,178 multi-
family units (for 200 Airport Boulevard and two ROEM projects in the downtown), and 36 ADUs.
The City also approved Planning entitlements for 810 new residential units,consisting of three (3)single-
family homes,two (2)small multi-family units (located within two-to-four-unit structures),and 805 multi-
family units (543 for 7 So. Linden Avenue and 262 for 1477 Huntington Avenue).
This is the reporting year for 2023, the first year of the RHNA Cycle 6 eight-year reporting cycle (2023-2031):
1.The City has issued building permits for 2.9%of the expected housing units,for a total of 116 units out
of the 3,956 units allocated through RHNA.
2.For the Above Moderate housing category,the City has issued a building permit for 20 units (RHNA

2.For the Above Moderate housing category,the City has issued a building permit for 20 units (RHNA
allocation is 1,863 units).
3.For the Moderate housing category,the City has issued a building permit for 28 units (RHNA allocation
is 720 units).
4.For the Low housing category,the City has issued a building permit for 54 units (RHNA allocation is
502 units).
5.For the Very Low housing category,the City has issued a building permit for 14 units (RHNA allocation
is 871 units).
Program Implementation Status
Table D of the Housing Element Progress Report provides the status of implementing the current Housing
Element programs.Most programs are implemented and monitored on an ongoing basis;however,some
programs have deliverable dates prior to the end of the Housing Element cycle of 2031.
FUNDING
Submittal of the APRs to OPR and HCD will have no financial impact on the City,but does continue to make
the City eligible for regional grant funding.
RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Shape SSF 2040 Annual Progress Report reviews the status of all eleven Elements of the General Plan,
which include goals,policies,and actions that relate to all six of the City’s strategic plan goals:Workforce
Development,Quality of Life,Public Safety,Financial Stability,Economic Vitality,and Community
Connections.The APR provides a comprehensive view of overall progress on implementation and allows City
staff to better determine appropriate implementation timeframes that will assist in meeting strategic plan goals
as well.
The yearly reporting on the South San Francisco Housing Element and update on the City’s housing production
helps promote the City’s Quality of Life strategic goal in providing a comprehensive view of new housing units
produced within the reporting year,with a focus on the number of units produced within four different
affordability levels.Additionally,the yearly reporting provides the City with an opportunity to evaluate the
adopted programs and policies in the City’s Housing Element and their effectiveness in promoting the creation
of new housing and meeting the needs of the City’s residents’ quality of life.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the City Council, by motion, accept the 2023 General Plan and Housing Element Annual
Progress Reports on the implementation of the General Plan and Housing Element and authorize its transmittal
to the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and
Community Development.

zoning, however, seem to have failed to
properly transfer Emergency Shelter as
a permitted use in any of the zoning
districts, particularly the Mixed
Industrial Zoning District where it was
previously a permitted by-right use. This
was an oversight. Consistent with SB-
2339, the City is also adding an

modifications to their home to allow for disabled access.
Additionally, the zoning ordinance includes SSFMC Chapter 20.510, Waivers and
Modifications, that provides provisions for reasonable accommodations to
ensure equal access to housing by allowing the Chief Planner authority to grant
relief from zoning requirements. ONGOING.
SNP-4.2 - Resources for
the developmentally
disabled.
The City shall annually support the
Golden Gate Regional Center with CDBG
funding, as available, in its mission to
serve those with developmental
disabilities, disseminate information
about the Center and its services, and
make referrals as appropriate.
Annual
The City's Zoning regulations permit Adult Day Care uses in many areas of the
City by-right. These uses are typically funded in some part by the Golden Gate
Regional Center to serve developmentally disabled infants, children, youth and
adults. ONGOING.
440
SNP-5.1 - Prioritize
extremely low-income unit
production, when
possible.
In publishing requests for competitive
proposals for any Cityowned land, land
dedicated to affordable housing under
the City’s inclusionary ordinance or City
housing funds, the City of South San
Francisco shall grant additional points
to proposals that address the City’s
most difficult to achieve housing
priorities, by, for example, providing a
greater number of extremely low-income
units or committing to make a
percentage of the units subject to a
preference for people with special needs
who will benefit from coordinated onsite
services, such as people with
developmental disabilities who receive
services from the Golden Gate Regional
Center.
2031 The City has not led any competitive proposals in 2023. ONGOING.
SNP-5.2 - Codify flexibility
into the Inclusionary
Ordinance.
The City shall revise its Inclusionary
Housing Ordinance to be more
responsive to local needs by offering,
for example only, developers a menu of
options for including affordable units,
for example, by setting a higher
percentage of units if priced for
moderate income and a lower
percentage of units if priced for
extremely low-income, an income group
not currently served by the existing
ordinance. Such flexibility would
address a broader range of South San
Francisco housing needs, while giving
developers more options for meeting the
inclusionary requirement.
Bi-annual This process will commence in 2025. PENDING.
441
SNP-5.3 - Local density
bonus priorities.In addition to implementing the
California density bonus statute, the City

SNP-5.4 - Reduce or
abolish parking
requirements for
developmentally disabled
populations.

encourage the inclusion of people with
developmental and other disabilities in
affordable housing by recognizing their
transit dependence and establishing
lower parking ratios for units targeted to
people with developmental and other
disabilities than would otherwise be
required for affordable housing. South
San Francisco should revise its
ordinances to provide Chief Planner
flexibility to limit parking required for
affordable units for people with
developmental disabilities to 0 spaces
for each affordable studio or 1-bedroom
unit and 0.5 spaces for an affordable 2-
bedroom unit or larger. A similar
reduction is recommended for
affordable, physically accessible units.
Additionally, any residential unit located
within ½ mile of a transit station or
transit corridor is exempt from minimum
parking requirements under current
zoning and Assembly Bill 2097.
2023 This process will commence in 2025. PENDING.

target special needs populations, such
as people with disabilities who will
benefit from coordinated onsite services
provided by the Golden Gate Regional
Center.
2026 No action has been taken at this time. PENDING.
SNP-5.6 - Marketing Plan
for accessible units. As a condition of the disposition of any
City-owned land, land dedicated to
affordable housing under the City’s
inclusionary ordinance, the award of
City financing, any density bonus
concessions, or land use exceptions or
waivers for any affordable housing
project, the City shall require that the
housing developer implement an
affirmative marketing plan for physically
accessible units which, among other
measures, provides disability-serving
organizations adequate prior notice of
the availability of the accessible units
and a process for supporting people
with qualifying disabilities to apply.
2031 The City has not led disposition of any City-owned land in 2023. ONGOING.

units that can
accommodate large
families.

diversity of its housing stock that is
affordable to extremely low-, very-low-,
and low-income households to include
more units that are suitable to large

Francisco’s affordable housing consists
of single-room occupancy units and one-
and two-bedroom units. The City shall
work with housing developers during
the entitlement process and encourage
them to provide a unit mix with at least
10% of units having three or more
bedrooms.

As I understand, the General Plan and Housing Element is a work in progress in fulfillment
of what has been approved and adopted when making decisions on land-uses, based on
zoning designations and many other criteria of the approved documents.
On behalf of our community of Old Town, an extension of what we consider Downtown, to
be primarily Grand (Spruce to Airport), Baden (Maple to Airport), Linden (Railroad to Lux),
we are very much concerned about the further extension of what has been historically
considered our "Downtown” and overburdening Old Town with fulfilling every housing
designation (i.e. affordable, low income, middle class, homeless, high income, etc); and
also, concerned about preservation of the historical significance and value of Old Town
area of SSF. I believe SSF in its entirety has much to gain in preserving Old Town’s historical
significance and value to our city and high rise buildings should be kept on outskirts of
neighborhoods and in our case, at entrance and exits of freeways. On other side of town,
we would not expect to see high rise buildings in middle of Buri Buri, Avalon, Westborough
neighborhoods, etc. We expect the same consideration and respect for residents and
neighborhoods of these neighborhoods of developing in appropriate areas along El Camino
Real, here in Old Town, a historical neighborhood.
During the many ShapeSSF meetings that I attended on behalf of our community, we also
expressed a serious concern of further high rise buildings being overburdening our
historical Old Town, especially with building complexes completely blocking natural
sunlight from single family home residents, without the benefit of what was once
considered respectful and considerate setback requirements for neighbors from the
adjacent structures. Now, residents open their window to concrete walls. Example, senior
complex on Miller Avenue.
Furthermore, our Old Town community has not seen any benefits from impact fees
collected from developers. As equal contributors of SSF’s history and economy, our
children are very much deserving of a respectful playground at Pine. Our senior citizens are
also deserving of a park designated for socializing, to help with serious issue of loneliness
that was shared with Age Friendly consultant. Playgrounds, parks and programs for Old
Town residents, particularly children, teens and seniors, would never serve as justification
for developing high density housing. We appreciate the difficult decision in making new
community park possible; however with all respect, it was long overdue in this part of
town, especially since our residents face transportation challenges and barriers in visiting
parks across town.
There was an outcry from the community after hearing the lot on Lux/Linden (former Big
Bite) was under construction. Now, learning of the purchase of the former Liberty Bank and
the loss of the parking lot will be a huge loss to our community, especially since our
community has a dire need of a community center and recreational center for teens. We
faced a huge loss after closing of the Neighborhood Services Center and the many benefits

it provided to our Spanish speaking, immigrant community. In comparison to SF and south
SM county cities, we do not receive nearly the same services that are needed, nor do we
receive funding/grants for community benefits, in comparison to other cities for much
needed programs for youth having adequate and appropriate playgrounds and services for
seniors. We appreciate and understand the need for affordable housing and respect the
agency's will and commitment ; however, this housing will most likely not benefit our Old
Town community, as our cultural houses multi-generations in one home. Most likely, this
housing will not prioritize SSF residents either.
We have not only taken the brunt of high rise buildings, but have been insulted and
disrespected with County's decision to house a sex-offender housing on Lux, even after
community opposition out of concern for proximity to families with young children living
next door; and most recently, with the purchase of hotel on Airport Blvd. We did not hear
about vetting individuals or any expression of concern during the County Board of
Supervisors meeting during the approval, except for my voice. Prior to this, I was getting the
runaround from the County and in doing so, it was a reminder of how our disadvantaged
community continues to be taken advantage of, without any consideration for equitable
outreach to voice any of our concerns or in providing residents an opportunity to raise
concerns. There should have been more than just one speaker other than myself, which
signifies that there is a huge need for a center where residents are informed of decisions
that affect them and their families.
We respectfully request consideration and respect for our Old Town community and
neighborhood. We are a marginalized and disadvantaged community seeking equal
opportunities and expect equality in having a fair voice at all decision-making tables. On
behalf of our community, please make outreach a priority, in equitable fashion. We would
gladly assist in your efforts. Our voice does and should matter too.
Old Town cannot continue to be overburdened not only of SSF’s entire housing quota
mandates (except for only one site across town, PUC), but County’s disrespectful and
insulting placement of sex offender housing and now with a concerning single men
housing, in a neighborhood where there are many families with young children, in which we
are expected to accept placing our children at risk.
Thank you.

Motion to receive and file the City’s Housing Successor Agency Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23.(Nell
Selander, Economic & Community Development Director)
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a motion to receive and file the City’s Housing Successor
Agency Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
BACKGROUND
The City of South San Francisco (City)is the Housing Successor Agency (Housing Successor)to the former
South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (Agency),which was dissolved on February 1,2012.Each
housing successor agency is required to prepare an annual report on how it is meeting requirements imposed by
Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 34176.1.
The report is due to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)by April 1st
each year and must be posted on the City’s website.The report for Fiscal Year 2022-23 will be submitted to
HCD by April 1, 2024, and is being presented to the City Council to receive and file.
DISCUSSION
The Housing Successor is meeting all compliance requirements of HSC Section 34176.1 for Fiscal Year 2022-
23. Progress on major requirements is summarized below.
Housing Asset Fund Activity
As of June 30,2023,the Housing Asset Fund (Fund 241)balance was approximately $4.2 million ($2.5 million
of which was cash).The Housing Asset Fund received $248,937 in revenue.The largest revenue source was
rents from Housing Successor affordable rental properties ($159,684).Other revenue sources included interest
income and loan repayments.
The Housing Successor spent $335,765 in Housing Asset Funds in Fiscal Year 2022-23.The expenditures
consisted of administrative items ($123,033)and rapid rehousing expenses ($212,732)in the form of
Emergency Rental Assistance.There were no expenditures for housing development projects during the fiscal
year.
Real Property Assets and Loans Receivable
As the Housing Successor, the City owns four properties with a statutory value of approximately $6.8 million:
·339-341 Commercial contains two duplexes operated as affordable housing.The properties were

Version:1 Item #:9.
·339-341 Commercial contains two duplexes operated as affordable housing.The properties were
originally purchased by the former Agency to mitigate a blighted property and create affordable
housing.
·714-718 Linden contains a triplex operated as affordable housing.The former Agency purchased the
property in 2005 to preserve the affordability of the units after the original affordability covenants
expired.
·630 Baden contains the Magnolia Senior Apartments,a 125-unit affordable multifamily development.
The Housing Successor owns 95,309-square feet of land under the building.
·636 El Camino contains an affordable multifamily housing complex developed by MidPen Housing.
The Housing Successor owns 87,121-square feet of land under the building.
All properties transferred from the former Agency to the Housing Successor were required to be developed for
affordable housing or sold by August 31,2017.The City meets this requirement because all properties
transferred from the former Agency are operated as affordable housing or have been sold.
The Housing Successor also oversees approximately $23.2 million in loans receivable from First-Time
Homebuyer Loans (5)and Developer Loans (11).However,it is important to note that the majority of the loans
receivable have been recorded as uncollectible in the Housing Asset Fund balance sheet.This is because many
of the loans are not payable unless a property is sold or other conditions are met.Any loan repayments would
be deposited into the Housing Asset Fund.
No new loans were added in FY 2022-23.
Expenditure Proportionality Requirements
Expenditures from the Housing Asset Fund must meet specific proportionality requirements by income level
and age. In general:
·Administrative and monitoring expenses are capped at five percent of the value of Housing Successor
properties and loans receivable on an annual basis.The cap was $364,603 million in Fiscal Year 2022-
23.
·Up to $250,000 may be spent annually on rapid rehousing solutions for homelessness.
·If Housing Asset Funds are spent on housing projects and programs,within each five-year compliance
period:
o At least 30%must be spent on extremely low-income households (earning up to 30%of the Area
Median Income);
o No more than 20%may be spent on low-income households (earning 60-80%of the Area
Median Income); and
o No monies may be spent on moderate or above moderate-income households (earning more than
80% of the Area Median Income).
o No more than 50%of rental housing units assisted by the City or the former Redevelopment

Version:1 Item #:9.
Agency in the prior 10 years may be restricted to seniors.
The Housing Successor meets the expenditure requirements because administrative and rapid rehousing
expenses were below the annual limits,and there were no expenditures on housing development projects.The
Housing Successor also meets the senior housing requirement.Of the 441 rental units assisted by the
Redevelopment Agency or City within the last 10 years,163 (37%)are restricted to seniors.These include the
units at 310 Miller and 201 Baden.Staff will ensure these requirements continue to be met with future
expenditures.
Excess Surplus
Housing successors are subject to the same excess surplus requirement as former redevelopment agencies.An
agency has an excess surplus if its unencumbered cash balance exceeds $1 million or the sum of deposits in the
prior four years,whichever is greater.Housing successors must spend or encumber excess surplus within three
fiscal years or transfer its excess surplus to HCD to spend on statewide housing programs.
South San Francisco's Housing Successor had an excess surplus of $1,076,383 for FY 2021-22.In December of
2023,the City adopted a resolution committing the entire surplus towards a predevelopment loan for 500 and
522 Linden.The two-phase project will include 148 affordable units which are being proposed by the local
Rotary Club and Beacon Development.This commitment eliminated the past excess surplus bringing the
Housing Successor into compliance with that requirement.
The Excess Surplus limit test for the current year,FY 2022-23,shows that the Housing Asset Fund
unencumbered cash balance of approximately $1.5 million exceeds the applicable $1 million limit by $468,518.
This excess surplus for FY 2022-23 must be accounted for separately and encumbered or expended within three
fiscal years.If the Housing Successor fails to comply,the remaining excess surplus must be transferred to HCD
within 90 days of June 30, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no implications of receiving and filing this annual report on the City’s activities as the housing
successor agency to the former Agency.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that City Council approve a motion to receive and file the City’s Housing Successor Agency
Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2022-23
1
INTRODUCTION
This Housing Successor Agency Annual Report (“Annual Report”) presents information on Fiscal Year
(“FY”) 2022-23 expenditures and activities as required by Health and Safety Code (“HSC”) Section
34176.1(f), including but not limited to a housing successor’s compliance with certain expenditure
activities over the year as well as a five-year planning period. This Annual Report is required of any
housing successor to a former redevelopment agency.
City as Housing Successor
The City of South San Francisco (“City”) is the Housing Successor Agency (“Housing Successor”) to the
former South San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”) which was dissolved with all other
redevelopment agencies statewide by the Legislature in 2012. At the time of dissolution, a housing
successor was to be selected to transfer and be responsible for the remaining assets and liabilities of a
former redevelopment agency. The City elected to be the Housing Successor to the Agency by adoption
of Resolution No. 08-2012 on January 25, 2012.
Scope of This Housing Successor Annual Report
This Annual Report is limited to the Housing Successor’s activities as it relates to its role as a housing
successor and is not necessarily comprehensive of all of the City's housing activities. This may include,
but is not limited to, financial activities, property disposition, loan administration, monitoring of covenants,
and affordable housing development. This Annual Report describes compliance with various annual, five-
year, and ten-year housing expenditure and production requirements. FY 2022-23 is the fourth year of
the current five-year compliance period for income proportionality, which began July 1, 2019, and ends
June 30, 2024.
This Annual Report is an addendum to the City’s Housing Element Annual Progress Report. Both are
due to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) by April 1 annually.
The Housing Successor’s audited financial statements will be posted on the City’s website when available
and are incorporated herein by reference.
Assets Transferred to the Housing Successor
Upon the statewide dissolution of redevelopment in 2012, all rights, powers, committed assets, liabilities,
duties, and obligations associated with the affordable housing activities of the Agency were transferred

to the Housing Successor. As one of its first duties as a housing successor, the City prepared and
submitted to the California Department of Finance (“DOF”) an inventory of housing assets to be
transferred from the former Agency. The inventory was enumerated on a Housing Asset Transfer Form
(“HAT”) which included:
1. Real properties;
2. Personal properties;
3. Loans receivable; and
4. Rents/operations
All items on the HAT were reviewed and ultimately approved by the DOF on August 31, 2012. A copy of
the HAT is provided as Appendix 3. Once approved by DOF and as directed by law, the City, acting as
housing successor, transferred these assets to the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund
(“Housing Asset Fund”, Fund 241). Approval of the HAT set in motion a series of obligations by the City
as a housing successor, as described in the following section.
BACKGROUND
This Section summarizes the legal requirements for use of housing successor assets that are addressed
in this Annual Report.
Legal Requirements Pertaining to Housing Successors
In general, housing successors must comply with three major requirements pursuant to HSC Section
34176.1:
1. Expenditures and housing production are subject to income and age targets.
2. Housing successors may not accumulate an “excess surplus,” or a high unencumbered Housing
Asset Fund balance based on certain thresholds.
3. Properties must be developed with affordable housing within five to ten years of DOF’s approval
of the HAT.
480

Appendix 1 provides a detailed summary of the reporting requirements that are addressed in this Annual
Report.
Permitted Uses of Housing Asset Funds
Pursuant to HSC Section 34176.1, Housing Asset Funds may be spent on:
• Administrative costs for operation of the housing successor agency. The law allows a housing
successor to spend the greater of:
o $200,000 per year adjusted for inflation, or
o 5 percent of the statutory value of real property owned by the housing successor and the
value of loans and grants receivable from the HAT (“Portfolio”).
According to HCD, the $200,000 per year limit adjusted for inflation through FY 2022-23 was
$254,500. The net value of the Housing Successor’s real property and loans receivable (after an
allowance for uncollectible) is $7,292,066, 5 percent of which is $364,603, which is significantly
higher than the HCD limit. Therefore, South San Francisco’s FY 2022-23 annual administrative
cost limit is $364,603, the greater of these amounts.
• Homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services up to $250,000 per year if the former
redevelopment agency did not have any outstanding inclusionary housing or replacement housing
production requirements as of 2012. South San Francisco is eligible for this expense because it
did not have any outstanding inclusionary or replacement housing requirements upon dissolution.
• Affordable housing development assisting households up to 80 percent of the Area Median
Income (“AMI”), subject to specific income and age targets over a five-year period.
Five-Year Income Proportionality on Development Expenditures: Housing Asset Funds
may be spent on development of affordable housing projects affordable to low, very low, and
extremely low-income households. “Development” is defined in HSC Section 33413 and
includes “new construction, substantial rehabilitation, the acquisition of long-term affordability
covenants, or the preservation of assisted housing development that is eligible for prepayment
or termination or for which the expiration of rental restrictions is scheduled to occur within five
years.”
481
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2022-23

Over each successive five-year compliance period beginning in 2014, at least 30 percent of
development expenditures must assist extremely low-income households (30 percent AMI),
while no more than 20 percent may assist low-income households (between 60-80 percent
AMI). The balance of the funds may be used on very low-income households (defined as
households earning between 30-60 percent of AMI).
The Housing Successor was compliant with Housing Asset Fund income proportionality
expenditure requirements during the first five-year compliance period from January 1, 2014
through June 30, 2019. The current (second) five-year compliance period is July 1, 2019 to
June 30, 2024.
Note that housing successors must report expenditures by category each year, but
compliance with income proportionality limits is measured every five years. For example, a
housing successor could spend all its funds in a single year on households earning between
60-80 percent AMI, as long as it was 20 percent or less of the total expenditures during the
five-year compliance period.
Should a housing successor not spend at least 30 percent of its development expenditures
for extremely low-income households, or exceeds the amount spent on low-income
households, future expenditures are subject to greater restrictions until these proportionality
targets are met. Specifically, if a housing successor is unable to spend at least 30 percent of
its development expenditures on extremely low-income units, it is required to increase this
spending to 50 percent until compliant with the 30 percent threshold; a housing successor that
spends more than 20 percent of its development expenditures on low-income units cannot
spend any further funds on low-income developments until it is at or below the 20 percent
threshold.
As such, tracking these expenditures and their progress over the corresponding five-year
period is an important function of this Annual Report.
Ten-Year Age Proportionality on Units Assisted: If more than 50 percent of the total
aggregate number of rental units produced by the city, housing successor, or former
redevelopment agency during the past 10 years are restricted to seniors, the housing
successor may not spend more Housing Asset Funds on senior rental housing.
482
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2022-23

It is important to stress that Housing Successor expenditure and production requirements are measured
on different timeframes:
• One-Year Limits: Administrative Allowance and Homeless Prevention Allowance. Compliance
evaluated annually and resets every year.
• Five-Year Limit: Expenditures by Income Level. Compliance evaluated over a fixed five-year
period set by law, the current period being July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024.
• Ten-Year Limit: Number of Senior Deed-Restricted Units Assisted. Compliance evaluated based
on a rolling ten-year period that is different every year, the current period being FY 2013-14 to FY
2022-23.
Appendix 2 describes Housing Asset Fund expenditure requirements in more detail, including the types
of costs eligible in each category.
Limits on the Accumulation of Housing Funds (Excess Surplus)
State law limits how much cash a housing successor may retain and, if it fails to commit or spend these
dollars in a reasonable timeframe, ultimately penalizes the housing successor by requiring unspent funds
to be transferred to HCD for use on State housing programs.
HSC Section 34176.1(d) establishes a limit, known as an “excess surplus” on the amount of
unencumbered Housing Asset Funds based on the greater of:
• $1,000,000, or
• The total amount of deposits made into the Housing Asset Fund over the preceding four years.
Only amounts in excess of this threshold are considered an excess surplus. Once an excess surplus is
determined, a housing successor must account for these funds separately and encumber said monies
within three years. If after the third year the excess surplus has not been fully encumbered, the remaining
balance of the excess surplus is to be transferred to HCD within 90 days. HCD is permitted to use these
transferred excess surplus funds anywhere in the State under its Multifamily Housing Program or the Joe
Serna, Jr. Farmworker Housing Grant Program.
483
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2022-23

As part of the Annual Report, a housing successor must disclose any excess surplus and describe the
housing successor’s plan for eliminating this excess surplus.
HOUSING ASSET FUND ACTIVITY
This section describes FY 2022-23 Housing Asset Fund activity and balances.
Deposits and Fund Balance
The Housing Successor had net deposits of $248,937 in the Housing Asset Fund during FY 2022-23
from a variety of sources, as shown in Table 1.
Expenditures
The Housing Successor expended a total of $335,765 during FY 2022-23. Of the total amount expended,
$123,033 was spent on administrative costs and $212,732 was spent on homeless prevention and rapid
rehousing (Emergency Rental Assistance). Both amunts were below their respective expenditure limits,
with a maximum administrative cost limit for FY 2022-23 of $364,603 (based on 5 percent of the Housing
Successor's Portfolio Balance) and a Homeless Prevention/Rapid Rehousing cost limit of $250,000. The
City did not make any affordable housing development related expenditures and therefore remains in
compliance with the proportionality requirement for the current five-year period.
Ending Cash and Fund Balance
The Housing Asset Fund had an ending asset balance $4,178,575 as of June 30, 2023, as summarized
in Table 2.

Housing Successor Portfolio
The Housing Successor Portfolio as of FY 2022-23 includes four properties and sixteen loans receivable.
No new loans were added in FY 2022-23. The Portfolio had a net value of $7,292,066 as of FY 2022-23,
as detailed in Table 3. Note that the Loans Receivable are mostly offset by an “Allowance for
Uncollectible” indicating that the City does not anticipate repayment. This is because many of the loans
do not become due and payable unless a property is sold or other conditions are met.

REAL PROPERTIES AND DISPOSITION STATUS
Pursuant to the approved HAT, the former Agency transferred eight properties to the Housing Successor,
including four multifamily properties, two single family homes, and two parcels of land (land under existing
buildings).
HSC Section 34176.1(e) requires all real properties acquired by a redevelopment agency prior to
February 1, 2012, and transferred to the housing successor to be developed pursuant to the requirements
detailed in HSC Section 33334.16. All property that falls within these parameters must be developed for
affordable housing purposes or sold by August 31, 2017. If the Housing Successor is unable to develop
or dispose of these properties within the five-year period, the law allows for a five-year extension via
adoption of a resolution. All Housing Successor properties transferred on the Housing Asset Transfer
Form are subject to this provision.
The City meets the property disposition requirement because all properties transferred from the former
Agency to the Housing Successor are already operating as affordable housing or have been sold.
Descriptions of the properties and their disposition status are below.
Properties Disposed
• 310 - 314 MILLER (APNs 012-311-230, 240, & 250) – Three properties consisting of 13,000
square feet total were donated in May 2016 to Rotary Plaza, Inc. for $1 for the purpose of
developing affordable multifamily housing. The property has 81 affordable units, which are to
remain affordable for no less than 55 years.
• 380 ALTA VISTA (APN 013-232-170) - A single-family home sits on this 9,100-square foot lot. It
was initially purchased by the Agency to remove blighting conditions and illegal bedrooms in the
home. The property was sold in October 2016 and $1,016,276 in sales proceeds were deposited
into the Housing Asset Fund. The funds will be used for affordable housing purposes as required
by law.
Properties Retained
• 339 – 341 COMMERCIAL (APN 012-333-050) - This 2,500-square foot lot contains two duplexes.
The City purchased the property in 1999 with funding from the former Agency, as well as HOME
funds, to mitigate the blighted property and create affordable housing units.
486
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2022-23

• 714 – 718 LINDEN (APN 012-145-430) - A triplex sits on this 3,500-square foot lot located near
the City’s Downtown core. The City initially helped the owner rehabilitate the property in return for
charging affordable rents. In 2005, when the affordability restriction expired and the owner
intended to sell the property, the City purchased the property with funding from the former Agency
to preserve the units’ affordability.
• 630 BADEN (APN 012-241-230) - The Housing Successor owns 95,309-square feet of land under
the Magnolia Plaza Senior Apartments, a 125-unit affordable senior apartment complex. The City
purchased the Magnolia/Baden property from a local school district using funding from the former
Agency and leases the land to Magnolia Plaza Associates as affordable housing.
• 636 EL CAMINO (APN 014-160-040) - The Housing Successor owns 87,121-square feet of land
under an affordable multifamily development operated by MidPen Housing. The former Agency
entered into a $9,988,434 loan agreement and ground lease with MP South City II, L.P. in March
2011 for the development of affordable units. The project consists of 108 affordable units, which
are to remain affordable for no less than 75 years.
LOANS RECEIVABLE
The former Agency initially transferred thirty-three loan agreements as part of the approved HAT. There
are currently sixteen remaining loans receivable as of FY 2022-23. The outstanding loans are described
below:
• Five First-Time Homebuyer Loans are administered by the Housing Successor with an
outstanding balance of $204,772 as of June 30, 2023. The loans were issued to assist low and
moderate-income first-time home buyers. Since the former Agency’s dissolution, eighteen out of
twenty-one loans that had been transferred were paid off, and 2 new loans have been issued.
• Eleven Developer Loans are administered by the Housing Successor with an outstanding
balance of $23,006,255 as of June 30, 2023. The loans were issued to develop affordable
housing throughout the City. A total of twelve developer loans were transferred on the HAT, of
which two have been paid off since dissolution. Additionally, a new loan to developer ROEM
was added in FY 2020-21 to assist a scattered development project at two locations: 201-219
Grand Avenue and 418 Linden Avenue. The Grand Avenue development comprises 47
residential units and about 5,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space located on
487
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2022-23

former RDA property. The Linden Avenue development comprises 37 residential units on former
City land. The project is governed by a Development Agreement as well as an Affordable
Housing Regulatory Agreement. As of October 2023, both projects have received certificates of
occupancy and are currently operational.
It is important to note that $22.7 million of the loans receivable value is accounted for in the "Allowance
for Uncollectibles", as shown in the asset balance in Table 2. This is because many of the loans are not
due and payable unless a property is sold or other conditions are met.
COMPLIANCE WITH EXPENDITURE & PRODUCTION LIMITS
During the 2022-23 Fiscal Year, the Housing Successor was in compliance with all annual, five-, and ten-
year planning period requirements as described in this section.
Proportionality Requirements
As summarized in Figure 1 below, the Housing Successor fully complied with all Housing Asset Fund
spending restrictions:
• During FY 2022-23, the Housing Successor expended $123,003 on allowable administrative
expenses which is well under the current year maximum limit of $364,603. The annual limit on
administrative expenses is the greater of $200,000 (plus inflation), or 5 percent of the Housing
Successor Portfolio balance. As shown in Table 3, the Portfolio balance is $7,292,006, of which
5 percent is $364,603.
• During FY 2022-23, the Housing Successor used $212,732 of Housing Asset Funds for homeless
prevention or rapid rehousing expenses and was therefore in compliance with the $250,000
spending restriction.
• The Housing Successor spent $0 on affordable housing development-related expenditures during
FY 2022-23. To date, the only expenditure on housing developments made during the current
five-year compliance consisted of $2.5 million issued in FY 2020-21, which was entirely allocated
to extremely low-income households (30 percent AMI or below). Therefore, the Housing
Successor currently meets the five-year income proportionality targets.
488
South San Francisco Housing Successor Annual Report 2022-23
11
Figure 1: FY 2022-23 Housing Asset Fund Expenditure Summary
The Housing Successor will ensure it continues to meet all Housing Asset Fund expenditure requirements
throughout this five-year compliance period of July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2024, and future five-year
compliance periods.
Failure to comply with the extremely low income requirement in any five-year compliance period would
result in the Housing Successor having to ensure that 50 percent of remaining funds be spent on
extremely low income rental units until in compliance. Exceeding the expenditure limit for low-income
households earning between 60-80 percent AMI in any five-year reporting period will result in the Housing
Successor not being able to expend any additional funds on these income categories until in compliance.
Senior Rental Housing Limit Compliance
Pursuant to HSC Section 34176(b), a maximum of 50 percent of deed-restricted rental housing units
assisted by the former Agency, Housing Successor, or City in the previous 10 years may be restricted to
seniors. The Housing Successor complies with the limit allowing no more than 50 percent of the total
aggregate number of rental units produced within the preceding ten years to be restricted to seniors. The
Housing Successor, City, and former Agency collectively assisted 441 deed-restricted rental units in the

restricted units assisted by the Housing Successor, City, and former Agency are restricted to seniors,
well below the limit. Table 4 details units assisted by project.
Excess Surplus
The Housing Asset Fund may not accumulate an “excess surplus”, or an unencumbered cash balance
that exceeds the greater of either $1 million or the sum of deposits in the prior four fiscal years. This
requirement ensures that housing successors are actively spending available Housing Asset Funds on
affordable housing. If the Housing Successor accumulates any surplus, these funds must be expended
or encumbered within three fiscal years or transferred to HCD within 90 days of the end of the third fiscal
year.
In the previous year, FY 2021-22, the Housing Successor accumulated an excess surplus of $1,076,383.
These funds are tracked separately to ensure they are spent or encumbered within the 3-year deadline.
In 2023, the Housing Successor adopted a resolution committing the entire surplus to an upcoming
project at 500 and 522 Linden as a predevelopment loan in the amount of $1,076,383. With this
commitment the City has eliminated their prior year surplus as shown in Table 5 below.

At the beginning of the FY 2022-23, the Housing Successor had an unencumbered cash balance of
$1,468,519, net of the predevelopment loan commitment for 500-522 Linden. This amount exceeds the
excess surplus limit of $1,000,000. Therefore, the Housing Successor has an excess surplus of $468,518
for FY 2022-23 as shown in Table 5a below.
Excess surplus funds must be accounted for separately and expended or encumbered within three fiscal
years. If a housing successor fails to comply, it must transfer any excess surplus to HCD within 90 days

Good evening. My name is Mandy, homeowner in district 1. I am here tonight to urge you to
agendize a ceasefire resolution.
A ceasefire resolution is NECESSARY to stop what the International Court of Justice
deemed a plausible cause of genocide.
As a decent human being, it's excruciating to see women, children, and men endure such
suffering. No one is doing anything about it, and are denying it for what it is. Over 14,000
innocent children have been killed, which surpasses the number of children in our city’s
school district, and over 39,000 people in Gaza have been killed, which is more than half of
our city’s population of 64,000 people. These numbers are increasing daily.
When you remove the false narratives, when you remove this group against that group, it
essentially comes down to innocent human lives being lost. This is a humanitarian crisis that
deserves everyone’s attention.
Please don’t say this dire situation falls outside the council's purview. This devastating issue
should be within everyone's scope of concern. This concerns respecting human rights and
prioritizing peace for all individuals. Let's do what's morally right and stand on the side of
humanity and agendize a ceasefire resolution. Thank you.

My name is Kehaulani and I am a resident of South City living in DISTRICT #3 . I’m a student
and I am here to urge you agendize a resolution calling for an enduring ceasefire in Gaza.
Over the last few decades, South City has become a home to thousands of people who fled
wars and poverty. It is a safe haven for the displaced. We cannot stay silent in the face of a
genocide. I am horrified with the images and videos coming out of Gaza. I stand with my
Palestinian/Arab community members and neighbors. The safety and acknowledgement of
our community members is necessary. This resolution will bring our community closer
together and show that our city leaders listen to the voices of the people. In closing, as an
ally, I urge our city leaders to stand with humanity and call for an enduring ceasefire in Gaza,
free flow of humanitarian aid and the release of hostages on both sides. Stand on the side of
peace! Thank you.

City Council of SSF
I have been an employee of this city for over ten years. I am disappointed to see that a
permanent ceasefire resolution has yet to be agendized. We cannot allow any more
Palestinians to be killed. The situation grows more and more critical with each passing day
and this council needs to act with urgency. The UN's recent passing of a two week pause is
not sufficient. Palestinians need to get the help they need. They need to rebuild their homes
and reunite with their families. The children need to rebuild and return to their schools.
Please agendize and pass a ceasefire resolution now.

My name is Kharimah and I am a resident of South San Francisco living in DISTRICT #13.
I’m a parent and I am here to urge you to agendize a resolution calling for an enduring
ceasefire in Gaza. South City cannot stay silent in the face of a genocide. The number of
civilians killed in Gaza has reached over 36,000 people, including 14,000 children. As an
Arab South City resident, I am directly impacted, it is important for us to be seen, heard and
protected by our city. I have survived war and I remember how hard it was because kids and
adults were going through a crisis. As a parent of 7 I wouldn’t want to see any of my children
suffering or having to deal with this type of trauma. In closing, we are looking to our elected
officials to stand with humanity and call for an enduring ceasefire in Gaza, free flow of
humanitarian aid and the release of hostages on both sides. Thank you.

bad for the kids dying and not having a chance to live. In closing, we are looking to our

My name is Mona and I am a resident of South San Francisco living in district 3 I’m a student
and I am here to urge you to agendize a resolution calling for an enduring ceasefire in Gaza.
South City cannot stay silent in the face of a genocide. The number of civilians killed in Gaza
has reached over 36,000 people, including 14,000 children. As an Arab Muslim impacted, it
is important for us to be seen, heard and protected by our city. I know many people
personally that have been impacted by the war whether it’s their loved ones that are in Gaza
suffering for the war, or they have come as refugees. People are dying, many innocent,
vulnerable people are dying. War always ends in terror and there is never any true winner in
a war. Please do not continue to support this. In closing, we are looking to our elected
officials to stand with humanity and call for an enduring ceasefire in Gaza, free flow of
humanitarian aid and the release of hostages on both sides. Thank you.

Palestinian kids are dying and we are helping that happen.In Israel people have free health
plan and in Palestine they don’t have oxygen to help the kids live. Kids either die because of
the bombing or starvation and we are watching that happen. We have proof of the Israelis
treating Palestinian kids with violence on the other hand in Palestine they taught kid how to
say arabic words and were not violent with them at all. Are you ok with kids dying?How
would you feel if your kids died because of starvation or bombing. The US is supporting this
genocide but we don’t have to. We can help stop this genocide.CEASEFIRE NOW.
