2020 Community Development Block Grant Program Request for Proposals (RFP)
The City of Ashland is presently accepting proposals for activities and projects, which benefit low and moderate-income people. Applicants must be a non-profit 501(C) (3) charitable organization or a unit of government.
The City of Ashland will award approximately $357,270 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to selected, eligible projects. This is the twenty-fifth year that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is expected to award CDBG funds to the City of Ashland. The primary purpose of the CDBG Program is to fund community development projects and programs, which benefit low and moderate-income people. To utilize CDBG funds most effectively to address Ashland’s highest priority needs, the City has limited the award of CDBG funds to fewer than four projects annually that provide or maintain housing to extremely low, low-moderate income, and special needs households, or provide social services activities addressing the Homeless or Special Needs Goals outlined in the City’s Consolidated Plan.
The 2020 Community Development Block Grant RFP is available below for download. Printed copies of the RFP are available at the Community Development and Engineering Services building at 51 Winburn Way. Responses to the RFP must be received by 4:30 pm on Friday, February 14, 2020.
