The use of HOME funds for security, utility and rental assistance are to be commended. I would encourage the city to include in its priority list pregnant women, as we are seeing pregnant women without shelter. I would also encourage the city to require its partners to determine if the resident is first eligible for a security deposit through Cal Aim, so that the funds do not go to residents who could obtain a one time security deposit through that program.
