The City of Pleasanton’s Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) program for FY 2025/26 offers funding to nonprofit and community organizations to support projects that meet the community's critical housing and human service needs. The program is funded through a combination of federal (Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds) and local sources (City General Funds and Lower-Income Housing Funds) to address issues such as affordable housing, homelessness, and other essential community services.
Applications must align with the program's goals, which include increasing affordable housing, providing support for low-income residents, and enhancing access to essential services. Projects must also meet federal regulations, ensuring that at least 75% of participants are low-income, as defined by HUD guidelines. Key priorities for funding include homelessness prevention, senior services, health care, behavioral health, food security, and workforce development. Applicants must address these needs while adhering to program requirements, such as non-discrimination policies and accessible services for Limited English Proficient residents.
Applications are submitted through ZoomGrants, with a deadline of January 17, 2025, at 4:00 PM. A mandatory virtual workshop will be held on December 4, 2024, to guide applicants. Organizations may only apply for one grant category, and incomplete or late applications will not be considered. Applicants must attend a review meeting on February 11, 2025, to present their proposals to the Human Services Commission.
Funding is distributed on a reimbursement basis, with required semi-annual reporting and an end-of-year evaluation. Projects must begin no earlier than July 1, 2025, and be completed by June 30, 2026. The City of Pleasanton reserves the right to reject incomplete applications or deny future funding for non-compliance with program requirements.
Organizations are encouraged to consult City staff for technical assistance before submission. For additional guidance, applicants can contact the City’s Housing Division via email at Housing@CityofPleasantonCA.gov.
