Selected proposals will be included in the City’s HOME-ARP funding distribution plan submission to HUD. The city’s Community Development team will award grants with HUD approval of the city’s plan.
In order to qualify for funding, all agencies must have at least one staff person attend the RFP pre-submittal Zoom conference on Thursday, March 24, at 9 a.m.
