Eligible Applicants
NON-PROFIT AGENCY- Applicant agencies must be a not-for-profit public or private agency. Applicants must be established and in operation at the time of application.
FAITH-BASED AGENCIES- HUD issued a final rule amendment allowing faith-based agencies to compete for CDBG funds on the same basis as other non-profits.

INSURANCE- At time of agreement signing, funded agencies must provide a declaration of insurance that includes multi-peril property and liability, worker’s compensation, automobile liability, and any other coverage deemed necessary by the City.
