Human Services
The Housing and Human Services Division coordinates affordable housing and supportive services for low-income residents and communities. The Human Services staff administers the annual Housing and Human Services Grant process that helps fund critical safety net services for low-income community members, including young people, families, unhoused people, community members with disabilities, seniors, and veterans.
Housing and Human Services Grants are funded through a combination of federal community development grants and local funds. The annual grant process is stewarded by the Livermore Human Services Commission, which reviews each application and makes funding recommendations every Spring to the Livermore City Council.

2024 Eastern Alameda County Needs Assessment
Background
In September of 2002, a Tri-Valley Human Services Needs Assessment was initiated to identify and fill service gaps and as a tool for non-profit service providers to leverage funding when seeking grants and additional financial support. This was completed in 2003. In early 2011, following the release of 2010 census data, a broad-based assessment of Human Service needs in the Tri-Valley was conducted. This expanded upon the 2003 assessment as much of the Tri-Valley had changed since the early 2000s.
Since its finalization in 2012, the City of Livermore has been using the 2011 Eastern Alameda County Human Services Needs Assessment to allocate grant funding to non-profit service providers.
2024 Needs Assessment
In collaboration with the cities of Dublin and Pleasanton, staff began planning an update to the 2011 Assessment following the release of the 2020 census data. JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) was the consultant selected to assist the three City’s and have proved to be knowledgeable about the Tri-Valley area, with a strong understanding of the unique human services challenges the region is facing. JSI’s approach to community outreach and desire to work with stakeholders coincides with the cities’ approach.
