Donor Name: City of Newark
State: Ohio
City: Newark
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 08/10/2023
Details:
The CDBG grant dollars fund some of the Department staff in addition to many community and economic development programs.
The Department prepares a 5-Year Consolidated Plan that outlines the goals of how to spend the CDBG funding. Then each year, the Department prepares a 1-Year Action Plan for specific expenditures that must follow the goals of the 5-Year Plan. Some of these expenditures go toward activities that are carried out by the City (e.g. infrastructure projects, development incentives, and housing rehabilitation programs), while other funds go to entities that have applied for funding to support a specific program or initiative.
Goals
The proposed Activity meets which of the following goals:
- Create Suitable Living Environment: Activities designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment (such as poor quality infrastructure) or social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services.
- Provide Decent Affordable Housing: Housing activities where the purpose of the Activity is to meet individual, family, or community needs and not activities where housing is an element of a larger effort, since such activities would be more appropriately reported under suitable living environment.
- Create Economic Opportunities: Activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, and job creation.
