Livermore council adopts FY2026'27 HUD Annual Action Plan to fund local housing and services
Summary
Council unanimously adopted a resolution to submit the city's FY2026'27 Annual Action Plan to Alameda County and HUD, allocating CDBG and HOME funds to tenant-based rental assistance (Abode Services, Tri-Valley Haven), Section 108 repayment to Access Community Health, emergency shelter construction, Spectrum Meals on Wheels, and administrative costs.
The Livermore City Council on May 11 approved the fiscal year 2026'27 Annual Action Plan for submission to Alameda County and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), authorizing the city manager to negotiate and execute necessary documents.
"The annual action plan covers a one-year period and describes what projects are going to be funded with our federal grants," Amy Walker, management analyst for Human Services, told the council. She outlined the primary funded activities: two tenant-based rental assistance programs with Abode Services and Tri-Valley Haven; a Section 108 repayment for Access Community Health; construction capital for an emergency shelter rebuild; public service funding for Spectrum Meals on Wheels; and administrative costs to manage these grants.
Walker said the projects were identified as part of a two-year grant cycle and must be submitted annually to HUD even if funding decisions were previously made. After the 30-day public review period, no public comments were submitted on the draft action plan before the hearing.
Councilmember Branding moved to adopt the resolution and Vice Mayor Wong seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The council authorized the city manager to execute agreements with HUD and subgrantees and to take actions necessary to carry out the resolution's intent.
The action plan covers the period July 1, 2026 through July 30, 2027 and ties federally funded activities to the city's five-year consolidated plan goals of providing affordable housing, supporting core public services, and improving infrastructure and facilities.
