2021 CDBG Applications:
The following applications were received in response to a Notice of Funding Availability for 2021 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. Applications are separated into the Public Service and Development categories because federal law caps the amount of Community Development Block Grant funding that can be spent on Public Service projects at 15% of the City's total allocation. The CDBG Advisory Board reviews non-CEDO applications during February, and March of 2021.
The 2021 applications are available in PDF versions below for public review:
