Overview

The City has recruited seven Lafayette residents to serve on the new Mental Health and Human Services (MHHS) Grant Program Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee). The Advisory Committee will be responsible for reviewing grant applications and making funding recommendations to City Council. The grants are funded using the 0.1% sales and use tax approved in 2021 to support mental health and human services.

Requirements

Residents interested in being appointed to the Advisory Committee must be a registered voter who has resided in Lafayette for one full year and be in good financial standing with the City. Applications are now closed. 

Advisory Committee Expectations

• Provide a thoughtful, impartial review of grant funding applications using an online platform.
• Engage in a respectful, constructive dialogue with other members of the group and City staff.
