City General Funds for Human Services Since 1994, the City of Pleasanton has implemented an annual Human Services Grant Program to support nonprofit, community-based organizations through the City’s General Fund. The program's objective was “to enhance the quality of life in Pleasanton.” In 2009, the City Council approved changes to the City’s grant process, moving the funding allocated for human services through the City grant program to the new Housing and Human Services Grant (HHSG) program.
