How Grants Are Awarded
The Housing and Neighborhoods Department supports new or expanded services by nonprofit organizations to low-income residents or other populations such as seniors, abused children, battered spouses, severely disabled adults, persons experiencing homelessness, illiterate adults, persons living with AIDS, or migrant farm workers. Funds are distributed in an annual competition.
The Community Enhancement Grant is given each year to nonprofit and faith-based organizations to build human capacity within blighted or low- and moderate-income areas. Funds for this program are given through the federal Community Development Block Grant program. Applicants are judged based on the soundness of the program proposal, the fiscal responsibility of the organization, the mission and track record of the organization, and other program requirements.
