The City of Davis is now accepting applications for its Community Development Block Grant Program.
Donor Name: City of Davis
State: California
City: Davis
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/24/2023
Size of the Grant: $7,000
Details:
The City of Davis has prioritized CDBG federal funding for two kinds of services:
- Public Service awards to providers of services to individuals and families and
- NonPublic Service awards for construction and for rehabilitation housing projects that serve the community.
The following are general policies that will be applicable to all CDBG grant applications:
- Grant awards will not exceed the requested amount stated in the application
- Documentation of collaboration with other agencies is required and must be addressed in the written proposal
- All programs must serve low income families or individuals; applications which prioritize extremely low and very low income individuals and households are given preference
Organizations applying for CDBG funds receive preference if one or more of the following are met:
- Serve clients who are very low and extremely low income (50% of median income and below.)
- Leverage funds from the community or other private sources or use volunteers as part of its plan
- Efficiently deliver services—maintain a low cost beneficiary ratio in relation toprivate and other organizations delivering similar services.
- Fill a unique niche among clients who are not currently served, or are underserved. This includes new programs and initiatives or the restoration of previously existing programs that have experienced funding cuts.
- Have an organization budget less than $500,000
- Focus on prevention and early intervention activities – that is, address issues before they develop or at an early stage to avoid more intensive treatment
- Spend the majority of the grant on serving those in need rather than on administrative costs.
Funding Information
The City will not consider any grant requests smaller than $7,000.
Eligibility Criteria
The City has many options for implementing the CDBG program. It can grant all or a portion of the funds to projects implemented by existing City staff; the City can grant all or a portion of the funds to projects administered primarily through non-profit community groups; or the City can grant funds to for- profit businesses to implement special economic development projects. In Davis, housing and other community development activities are primarily administered through non-profit community groups.
