MOHCD’s Community Development Division awards grants to nonprofit organizations to provide essential and high-quality services to city residents. To help ensure the sustainability of these nonprofit organizations and the essential services they provide, the Community Development Division also awards grants for capital improvement and acquisition projects.
Specifically, MOHCD is the primary City agency that funds the rehabilitation or new construction of nonprofit facilities that serve low-income families and individuals. In addition to protecting and expanding services, capital funds are used to ensure that these facilities are accessible to all and meet health and safety standards. In FY21 – 22, MOHCD’s capital program assisted 26 organizations in making significant improvements or repairs to their facilities and brought improvements to 28 community and public spaces.
MOHCD investments support the city’s most vulnerable residents by providing much needed services, strengthening civil society and advancing individual and collective opportunity. It is an imperative of the office to be intentional and explicit in meeting its goal to reduce racial disparities in service delivery as well as social and economic opportunity within San Francisco.
The purpose of this grant is to fund capital improvement projects by ensuring safe environments for staff and clients. The applying organization must: –
- Serve low and moderate-income residents through established, ongoing and sustainable service programs.
- Have programs sustained through diverse, dependable funding streams.
- Have programs open to the general public during normal hours of operation.
