Human Services Committee Request for Proposals -
Fiscal Year 2028

Introduction
The Town of Truro, Massachusetts is hereby requesting funding proposals for Fiscal Year 2028 (July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2028) from human services agencies serving Truro residents. Qualifying agencies are invited to submit funding proposals no later than Friday, November 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Proposals selected for funding will be included in an omnibus appropriation article submitted by the Town of Truro at its 2027 Annual Town Meeting.

Specifications
Human services grants will be allocated by the Town to support the overall operations of agencies that provide services to Truro residents, particularly those of low or moderate income, and those who are uninsured or underinsured. The Town has designed this grant program to help identify a clearer link between the funding it provides, and the needs identified by the community. Accordingly, priority will be given to locally based human services agencies that are meeting needs not otherwise met.
