Housing and Human Services Advisory Health & Wellbeing Hearing Sept. 26, 2026

The City of Longmont’s Human Services Health & Wellbeing funding hearings, held October 7, 2026 (the meeting title references September 26), reviewed nonprofit grant applications; no awards, motions, or votes were recorded. Applicants described services including midwifery and postpartum care, LGBTQ+ behavioral health and youth programs, recovery support, youth art therapy, free medical care and prescription assistance, hospice and grief services, and financial support for cancer patients. Community Roots Midwife Collective and Restart Studio each identified a $20,000 request, while St. Benedict Health identified a $50,000 request. Requests from Recovery Café, Queer Asterisk/Rocky Mountain Equality, True Community Care, and the UC Health cancer-patient assistance program were discussed, but the transcript did not establish their amounts.

Board and staff questions focused on how applicants serve low- and moderate-income Longmont residents, coordinate with other providers, diversify revenue, and sustain their programs. Staff noted a funding-cycle guideline that the city may fund no more than 30% of a program’s costs, intended to ensure the city is not the program’s largest funder. The hearings were application reviews rather than procurement or contract-award proceedings; no purchasing decisions or grant selections were announced.
