County Invites Public to Discuss Available Federal Grants
The County wants to hear from you to discuss plans for federal funds that support community projects and programs for people in need of services. Housing and Community Development Services is inviting community members and local non-profit representatives to provide input on the department’s Federal Entitlement Annual Plan which covers available federal Housing and Urban Development grants.
The federal grant programs include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Solutions Grants and Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS. These federal programs provide funding to cover things like neighborhood revitalization and community development projects and housing assistance for people experiencing homelessness and those living with HIV/AIDS. The County of San Diego receives approximately $12 million annually in federal entitlement funding for housing & community development.
Housing and Community Development Services is hosting public in-person and virtual meetings between July 20 and 26. The meetings are an opportunity to identify community needs and connect with potential applicants. They will cover information on how to apply for CDBG including eligibility requirements as well as the purpose of the annual plan and its four federal grant programs and past projects funded by the federal. Each meeting will include time for a question-and-answer session.
