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 $487,000 to get the work done. RTP will be
coordinating with other nonprofit to address the rehabilitation requests from our low- income
community. This year Rebuilding Together Petaluma will use the funds to make much needed repairs to
the Mary Isaak Center. Because they use volunteer workers and donated materials, RTP is able to
greatly leverage CDBG's limited funds.
Total number of persons served: 40 homeowners and 60 home repair projects;
Staff Recommendation: $225,000
