The Spokane County Community Services, Housing, and Community Development Department (CSHCD) is seeking proposals for the 2022 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Year (PY). CSHCD will review applications and provide information to the Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee (HCDAC). The HCDAC reviews all applications and holds a Public Hearing for the purpose of making a recommendation to the Spokane County Board of Commissioners (BoCC). The BoCC has an additional comment period of two weeks. The BoCC makes the final decision during a Public Hearing. Emphasis will be placed on Spokane County beneficiaries who would be served with these funds.
Proposals must address a priority need for Human Services, Area Revitalization, Public Facilities, Senior Services, Services for Disabled, Services for Youth, Acquisition of Real Property, Micro Enterprise Assistance, and Planning actions (as contained in the 2020-2024 CDBG Consolidated Plan, Funding Policies, and RFP.) The 2022 CDBG RFP contains instructions, a tentative timeline for the allocation process, the amount of anticipated funds available, and other information from the 2020-2024 Spokane County Consolidated Plan.
Eligible applicants include local governments, non-profit agencies with 501(c) (3) designation, public housing authorities, and for-profit entities. Applicants must demonstrate the capacity to carry out their proposal and manage federal funds.
The 2022 CDBG Funding Policies and the RFP will be available for downloading at https://www.spokanecounty.org/3585/RFP-Documents. The application link will be available on October 13, 2020 after the Applicant Workshop.
