2026-03-26 Social Service Human Relations Board

The City of Alameda Social Service Human Relations Board held a meeting on April 2, 2026, primarily focused on community and social service updates rather than procurement activities. The meeting included public comments addressing concerns about board conduct and community representation. Several agenda items, including presentations on school-based centers and a UC Berkeley public health project, were postponed. The board discussed forming committees to review social service impacts and planned upcoming meetings for these workgroups. Staff provided updates on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding recommendations, which will be presented to the city council for approval on May 5, covering public services, economic development, capital improvements, and housing projects. Additionally, the board was informed about ongoing community needs assessments and homelessness interventions. No contract awards, vendor selections, or direct procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
