Details:
The City is considering non-construction Capital projects (e.g. architectural & engineering and other soft costs; single-family home rehabilitation; weatherization; acquisition or pre-acquisition costs) and Economic Development projects (e.g. microenterprise business assistance). The City is not seeking Public Services projects (e.g. homeless services, counseling, food banks, senior services, etc.) at this time. Projects must comply with U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) CDBG program regulations (24 CFR Part 570).
The amount of funding available for this Request for Proposals is estimated to be $1,000,000 in PY2025 funds ($850,000 in estimated entitlement funds and $150,000 in estimated program income). The actual amount available is dependent upon the 2025 federal CDBG budget, HUD’s allocation formula, and actual program income received by the City. The City makes no guarantees regarding the availability or awarding of CDBG funding. Projects selected via this RFP will be part of the 2025-2029 CDBG Consolidated Plan.
Eligible Activities 
Examples of CDBG eligible activities that the City will consider funding include:

Acquisition of real property, pre-acquisition costs, or design-related (architectural and engineering) and other soft costs (i.e., non-construction).
Acquisition/Rehabilitation of public facilities.
Home repair/rehabilitation, maintenance and weatherization activities.
Microenterprise business assistance and development.

Eligibility Criteria 
CDBG projects must be implemented by a nonprofit organization or public agency. Nonprofit organizations leasing a facility may request CDBG funds to improve the facility provided the property owner agrees to a restricted use of the property for a specified length of time.

The City will prioritize funding recommendations for agencies/organizations with a verifiable history of receiving and administering funds from HUD.
