2016-2017 CDBG PROPOSALS
Working in partnership with CDBG applicants, RTP will continue to be the City's main rehabilitation arm,
coordinating suppliers and volunteers to respond to the community's rehabilitation needs.
SUMMARY OF REQUESTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The City of Petaluma is allowed a maximum of $68,842 (20% of total grant) to administer the
CDBG program, under the Administrative Cap rule. The administrative funds can utilized for salaries;
supplies; Block Grant's share of intergovernmental transfers; various consulting agreements, including
Petaluma's share of administering the County -wide Continuum of Care Program. Additionally, the
City's Code Enforcement staff has requested funding for the ongoing operation and continuing
education related to the City's code enforcement software program.
Total Petalumans served: N/A
Staff Recommendation: $64,281
2. Petaluma People Services Center (PPSC) has requested $48,000 to continue PPSC's Home
Delivered Meals Program, In PPSC's application, it was projected that $105,703 of other funds will be
used for their Meals on Wheels program to provide this valuable service. Through the Home Delivered
Meals program, which operates every day of the year, homebound seniors receive a daily hot meal
and security check, nutritional assessments, and, when needed, individualized counseling by a
registered dietician. Meals are cooked on weekdays at the PPSC newly renovated commercial
kitchen, located in the senior Center at 211 Novak Drive. On weekends PPSC purchases meals
prepared by Petaluma Valley hospital. Meals are delivered seven days a week by caring PPSC
volunteers.
Total Meals Delivered: 27,000
Staff Recommendation: $48,000
3. Rebuilding Together Petaluma (RTP) requested $223,000 to serve as the City's rehabilitation arm.
RTP, previously funded from the PCDC Low -Mod housing set-aside, is in its 20th 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. During the year, Rebuilding Together will
utilize skilled and unskilled labor valued at $425,000 to get the work done. 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: 43 homeowners and 65 home repair projects;
Staff Recommendation: $223,000
4. PEP Housing requested $16,000 to rehabilitate two of their older properties, which include, 154
Wilson (new water heaters and fence repair); and 1275 Lindberg Lane (updated emergency call
system). There is not enough CDBG funds to complete all the projects, so staff is recommending to do
the new water heaters at 154 Wilson and the emergency call update at 1275 Lindberg Lane. The fence
can be completed using other nonprofit agencies and coordinating with neighboring property owners.
Total number of persons served: 22 persons
Staff Recommendation: $8,919
