Who Can Apply
Public Service grants are available to not-for-profits, other tax-exempt organizations, and units of local government that provide services benefiting low- and moderate-income residents. Typically, these grants will fund staff time, staff training, supplies, and other expenses related to providing a service. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) limits the amount of funding allocated to Public Service activities to no more than 15% of the City’s annual CDBG allocation.
