Eligibility Criteria
All agencies applying for funding must meet the following requirements:
- Faith based Agencies: Faith based agencies are eligible to apply. HUD issued a final rule amendment allowing
faith-based agencies to compete for CDBG funding on the same basis as other non-profits, however, CDBG
funds cannot be used to support worship or religious instruction. Religious activities must be offered separately
from the CDBG supported activity. Faith based agencies may not use direct CDBG funds to support inherently
religious activities such as worship or religious instruction. Faith-based agencies that participate in the CDBG
program shall not discriminate against a program beneficiary on the basis of religion or religious belief.
(Reference: CPD Notice 04-10) - Active Governing Body: Governance of the agency should be vested in a responsible and active voluntary board, which meets at least quarterly and establishes and enforces policies. The Board should be structured to be representative of the community it serves. A copy of minutes authorizing staff to apply for CDBG funds or grants in general must be provided as an exhibit.
- Personnel: The agency must provide for adequate staffing for the administration and delivery of the services proposed. If the project is accepted for funding, the agency must provide a copy of its Personnel Policies, Affirmative Action Plan and its Drug-Free Workplace Policy.
