Kim Curtis, executive director of Goodness Village, told the commission the village currently houses 11 Pleasanton residents who had been unhoused an average of 7.5 years before moving in. Curtis said residents' average age in the Pleasanton cohort is 57 and that the village provides daily connections and activities that reduce isolation and support long-term stability.
Curtis said the city grant funded one full-time member of the village's 24/7 support team, enabling round-the-clock staff coverage that is essential for crisis response and daily check-ins. She said Goodness Village has 9 residents employed outside the village and helps residents pursue employment, credit repair and other supports; some residents seek long-term residency while others use the village as a stepping-stone to more conventional housing when suitable units are available.
Curtis described a paused plan for a community center adjacent to the village due to a change in a partner church's leadership; Goodness Village is exploring alternative sites and the feasibility of a second village to expand capacity. She invited commissioners to fundraising and public events and said the organization remains focused on providing supportive services tailored to residents' needs.
