fiscal year, to serve as the City's rehabilitation arm. RTP, previously funded from the PCDC Low -Mod housing
Resolution No. 2015042 N.C.S. Page 3
set-aside, is in its 19`h year of providing much needed, free of charge, home repair, home modifications (for disabled
persons), and water and energy efficient services to low and very low income homeowners and renters, as well as
repairs and major maintenance on nonprofit facilities. Because of budget cuts, the City no longer has the staff
capability to responsibly administer many small contracts. RTP will be coordinating with other nonprofit CDBG
applicants to address the rehabilitation requests from our low-income community. Because they use volunteer
workers and donated materials, RTP is able to greatly leverage CDBG's limited funds.
Total number of persons served: 52 homeowners; 222 low income renters
Staff Recommendation: $231,692
4. PEP Housing requested $56,475 to rehabilitate several of their older properties, which include, 231 Wilson
(painting); 1400 Caulfield Lane duplex (new roof) and 1275 Lindberg Lane (painting). There is not enough CDBG
funds to do all three projects, so staff is recommending to do the rehabilitation for 231 Wilson and the 1400
Caulfield duplex.
Total number of persons served: 12-14 persons
Staff Recommendation: $23,000
5. Committee on the Shelterless has requested $44,500 to rehabilitate the Mary Isaak Center which consists
of painting the outside of the building. COTS has been unsuccessful in raising funds for this project. They have
also collaborated with Rebuilding Together Petaluma to see if there was a way that the building could be painted
using RBT's volunteers, but it was decided that the liability was a major roadblock in getting the painting
completed. Unfortunately, there are no CDBG funds to do this project.
Total number of persons served: 770 persons
Staff Recommendation: $0.00
