The City of Springfield is taking proposals for discretionary Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding as part of the 2022-23 funding by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Donor Name: City of Springfield
State: Missouri
City: Springfield
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 12/19/2022
Size of the Grant: $200,000
Details:
For the fiscal year 2023-20243 it is estimated that the City HUD allocations for CDBG and HOME will be approximately $1.5 million and $1 million respectively. Those funds, when received, will be available for eligible uses in accordance with City Council’s priorities including, but not limited to, affordable housing, homelessness assistance and prevention, business assistance loans, public services, and administration and planning.
The programs and activities that will be funded will focus on meeting the HUD requirement that a minimum of 70% will be provided for projects that will principally benefit low-and moderate-income people. None of the activities are designed or anticipated to create involuntary residential displacement of persons or households. The City of Springfield, however, does have an anti-displacement plan for the establishment of benefits to persons displaced by the programs; a copy is on file and available for public inspection at the Planning & Development Department.
The range of activities may be undertaken so long as they
- principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons,
- aid in the prevention or elimination of slum and blight or
- address urgent needs that are recent in origin and pose an immediate threat to health and safety.
Organizations interested in applying for funding are strongly encouraged to attend one of two upcoming training sessions on Nov. 16 at 1:30 p.m. and Nov. 22 at 1:30 p.m. Both sessions will be held virtually via Zoom.
Funding Information
Approximately $200,000 will be available for discretionary, public service projects, which will be selected in a competitive process.
