Eligible Projects
Projects must be a CDBG-eligible activity, must be in conformance with the activities to be funded through this application process, and must meet at least one of the following CDBG national objectives:
- Primarily benefit low- or moderate-income (under 80% of the area median income) persons or households. This is the most commonly used qualifier. Documentation of the benefit to low/moderate-income level persons is required of every project funded under this objective. Limited clientele activities, i.e., those which benefit a specific sector of the community, such as youth centers, health clinics, etc., must benefit a minimum of 51% low- and moderate-income persons. Activities, that benefit all residents within a defined geographic area (area benefit), can meet the low/moderate-income benefit requirement if the area contains a minimum of 51% low- or moderate-income residents, as calculated by HUD.
- Aid in the elimination of slum or blight conditions. HUD has strict guidelines to define these conditions. A project rarely meets this national objective. Please contact CDBG staff to determine if your project is eligible under this national objective.
- Meet an urgent community need. Generally, this objective is only used in the case of recent serious natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, flooding, etc.) and only when no other funding sources are available.
Eligibility Criteria
- The City of Enid does NOT provide grants to individuals or to for-profit businesses.
- The City of Enid may provide a portion of its CDBG funds on a competitive basis to eligible outside agencies for specific eligible activities that meet the CDBG National Objectives and that will further the City’s goals and objectives.
- From time to time the City will utilize sub-recipients to carry out part of the federal award received by this jurisdiction. If the City chooses to request assistance from eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to undertake projects using our federal award, they will make that announcement in the local daily circulated newspaper. The announcement and/or Request for Applications/Proposals will happen between January-March each year.
- They do NOT fund individuals, for-profit businesses, or non-profit organizations that do not qualify.
- Beneficiaries of CDBG funded projects must be low income.
- Other eligibility requirements apply and vary from project to project. The City doesn’t provide direct services to citizens. However, if you are eligible for services provided by one of their sub-recipients you must contact that agency directly. Sub-recipient organizations are responsible for the qualification and approval of the services process.
