Eligible Activities
Public service activities which are directed toward improvement of the quantity and quality of community services principally benefiting persons of low- and moderate income are eligible for funding. These activities include, but are not limited to, services concerned with employment, crime prevention, childcare, health, substance abuse counseling and treatment, education, fair housing counseling, energy conservation, welfare (excluding income payments) and recreational needs. Emergency grant payments for food, clothing, and shelter (rent, mortgage, utilities) needs are eligible activities as long as the payments do not exceed three months and the payments are made directly to the provider of such services on behalf of an individual or family. This does not mean that the City will consider individual applications for emergency grants. If part of the mission of a PSO is to provide such assistance and it is outlined in detail in the project application, we will consider it for funding.
Eligibility Criteria
