The highest proportion of people living <br />in poverty was reported in Livermore in 2010, when <br />the rate reached 6%. This is still much lower than the <br />average and absolute rates in Alameda County and <br />California over the same period of time. <br />Existing Services <br />The JSI Project Team compiled a social services <br />inventory for the Tri-Valley in the early stages of the <br />needs assessment process. During the project period, <br />the Tri-Valley Human Services Pocket Guide was <br />updated. It lists available services but not service type <br />by location.

In all three Tri-Valley <br />municipalities, the number of Black and Hispanic <br />people below the poverty level is higher than would <br />be expected, given their representation in each place <br />at a population level. The disparity is greatest among <br />the Black population in Livermore and the Hispanic <br />population in Pleasanton. By contrast, the number <br />of white and Asian people below the FPL is less than <br />would be expected across the Tri-Valley. The one <br />exception is in Livermore, where the number of white <br />people below it aligns with their representation at a <br />population level. <br />The proportion of people living below the poverty <br />level in the Tri-Valley has remained relatively stable <br />EASTERN ALAMEDA COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES NEEDS ASSESSMENTSS Page 94 of 554
