The City of Livermore Housing and Human Services Grant program 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 to the Livermore City Council.

In Summer 2024, the Human Services Commission conducted a community needs process to identify funding priorities, which were adopted by Council on October 28, 2024, and are summarized here: FY 2025-2027 Grant Priorities. 

The FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan establishes priority needs for all projects funded with Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership resources and describes how the City will leverage the CDBG funding for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
