The City of Costa Mesa is accepting applications from existing tax-exempt California nonprofit corporations operating within its jurisdiction that provide public services and are eligible for grant funding under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
The primary objective of the CDBG Program is “the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income.”
The scope of CDBG-eligible activities established by HUD ranges from public works improvements to housing rehabilitation and social service programs that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
Funding for social service programs is limited to 15% of the City’s total allocation for a given year.
HUD has not notified the City of its actual 2022-2023 grant; however, for planning purposes, an estimated $140,000 in CDBG funds may be available on a competitive basis for public services for fiscal year 2022-2023.
At this time, the City is accepting applications from interested, tax-exempt nonprofit organizations that provide CDBG-eligible services that benefit low- and moderate-income Costa Mesa residents.
Organizations that want to apply for funding for a particular program may view the application and related instructions on the City’s website here https://www.costamesaca.gov/city-hall/city-departments/development-services/housing-and-community-development.
The actual application can be obtained by contacting Mikelle Daily at mikelle.daily@costamesaca.gov or (714) 754-5678 prior to the application deadline
Applications will be available beginning February 3, 2022. Applications must be submitted to the City of Costa Mesa Housing and Community Development by 2 p.m., Friday, February 25, 2022. Late applications will not be accepted.
Questions regarding this notice should be directed to Grant Administrator Mikelle Daily at mikelle.daily@costamesaca.gov.
