What is the Human Services
Grant Program?
 
The Human Services Grant Program, funded through the City of Loveland’s general fund, provides grants to non-profit agencies for human services including youth services, health care, childcare, domestic violence services and employment assistance. 

The Human Services Commission works with the Community Partnership Office Administrator to allocate grant funds.
 

The funds will be used to assist in meeting the needs of Loveland citizens through services and projects that enhance stability, provide crisis prevention and lead to self-sufficiency.
 

2009 Program Goals

Goals for the Human Services Grant Program are reevaluated each year by the Human Services Commission.  The current goals are to:
 

·     Financially support services such as those that provide food, shelter, physical and mental health care as well as services that prevent crisis and assist in sustaining independent living.
 

·     Support services that value diversity, foster self-sufficiency, treat people with dignity, build self-respect, address issues of safety, and allow people to live free of fear.
 

Funds will be used to assist citizens of Loveland.  Funds will not be used to serve those living outside of the City's Area of Community Influence.  A minimum of 70% served by the Human Services Grant Program will have low income defined by HUD Guidelines.
 

Eligible applicants must fall into one of the following categories:
 

·     An IRS-designated 501 (c)(3) agency with a minimum of a one year history of operation
 

• A cooperative group of organizations including an IRS-designated 501 (c)(3) agency with a minimum of a one year history of operation serving as the fiscal agency
   

2009 Grant Process is now underway.
