Social Services Commission - April 20, 2026

The City of Davis Social Services Commission held a meeting on April 20, 2026, focusing primarily on organizational updates, subcommittee assignments, and upcoming funding processes. Key procurement-related discussions included the planning for the 2027-2028 Request for Proposals (RFP) process for social service funding, with a timeline targeting a Notice of Availability around September 2026 and application reviews in early 2027. Commissioners discussed forming subcommittees to support affordable housing initiatives, rental resources, housing trust fund allocations, and safe parking programs, emphasizing coordination with existing city council subcommittees to avoid duplication. The commission also reviewed updates on affordable housing development projects and homeless outreach efforts, including contract work with Service Master for encampment cleanups. While no formal votes on procurement were taken, the commission agreed to agendaize the RFP subcommittee formation for the next meeting to ensure timely preparation for funding allocations.
