The Livermore Housing Authority (LHA) is committed to leading Livermore's efforts to provide affordable housing for low-income households. The plan focuses on four primary goals: expanding and preserving the affordable housing supply, optimizing the use of federal rental assistance, increasing housing stability and resident self-sufficiency, and strengthening organizational capacity and governance. It also outlines efforts to implement protections and support for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The LHA aims to deliver high-quality, safe housing, provide related resources, and leverage partnerships to increase the local affordable housing supply.

The agenda for the upcoming Regular Board of Commissioners meeting includes several key items for discussion and action. New Business features a presentation on the Two Year Tool Video and Overview, and an announcement regarding the NorCal NAHRO Conference.

Committee and Staff Reports include the Executive Director's Monthly Report, which will cover operations, an application submission to HUD for FSS funding, and updates on security deposit increases and Leahy plans.

The meeting agenda included Old Business concerning Bluebell Exterior Rehab Updates.

The agenda also included an Executive Director 9-Month Performance Update.

This document is the Housing Authority of the City of Livermore's application to participate in the Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration program, designed to enhance affordable housing and supportive services. The plan's vision is rooted in three statutory objectives: cost effectiveness, achieved by optimizing resource use and streamlining administrative processes; self-sufficiency, promoted through initiatives like technology access, financial literacy, and community partnerships; and housing choice, expanded by increasing options, supporting informed decisions, and improving landlord engagement. The overarching goal is to improve residents' lives and ensure efficient, effective housing programs.

The agenda for the Regular Board of Commissioners meeting includes addressing old business concerning the Bluebell Exterior Rehabilitation Updates. New business features a resolution for the approval of amendments to the Livermore Housing Authority Board of Commissioners' Bylaws. The meeting will also include committee reports, staff reports, including the Monthly Report from the Executive Director, public comment, and commissioner reports.
