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.

Tri-Valley Cities to Conduct the Eastern Alameda County Needs Assessment
Every 10 years, after the U.S. Census, the Tri-Valley cities of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton update a human services needs assessment. The current assessment process will take place now through January 2024.
This assessment addresses current Tri-Valley human service gap areas (both in services and infrastructure). The needs assessment allows the Tri-Valley region to be strategic in assisting local service providers with human service needs. JSI, a public health research and consulting organization, with an office in Berkeley, California, has been hired by the cities of Pleasanton, Dublin, and Livermore to conduct the Human Services Needs Assessment in the Tri-Valley.
Needs Assessments are used to understand the unique qualities of a given community, including its strengths and opportunities for growth. Needs Assessments often utilize both quantitative data (data that can be counted, measured, or given a numerical value) and qualitative data (descriptive data collected through focus groups, interviews, and conversations) to gain a representative depiction of a community. This Needs Assessment will highlight the important services already provided in the community and will identify gaps.
It will seek to answer the following questions:
- Who lives and works in the Tri-Valley? What are their needs as it relates to human services?
- What human service businesses and organizations are central to the Tri-Valley and how do they work together?
- What are the strengths of the Tri-Valley?
- What are the areas for growth within the Tri-Valley and how does that impact the services and infrastructure needed for human services?
For more information regarding the Needs Assessment or to get involved please reach out to JSI at eana@jsi.com or visit the website at www.mytrivalley.org
2022 Alameda County Homeless Point in Time Count
Every two years, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires communities to conduct a Point-in-Time (PIT) Count of individuals, youth, and families experiencing homelessness and provide specific data about their demographics and characteristics. On Feb. 23, 2022 Alameda County held the EveryOne Counts! Homeless Point in Time (PIT) Count. This Count includes those who are forced to sleep outdoors, in vehicles, tents or makeshift structures as well as a count of people residing in shelters, transitional housing and safe parking programs on the night of Feb. 22, 2022. In the weeks following the count, a random, sample survey is also conducted with those experiencing sheltered and unsheltered homelessness to learn more about the demographics, experiences, and needs.
