CSHCD will review applications and make recommendations to the Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee (HCDAC).

Emphasis will be placed on county beneficiaries who would be served with these funds. ​

Applicants must demonstrate the capacity to carry out their proposal and manage federal funds. ​​The 2019 CDBG Funding Policies, applications, project selection criteria, and the RFP will be available for downloading at  https://www.spokanecounty.org/3585/RFP-Documents ​To obtain electronic or printed copies of the documents, you may also contact CSHCD at 509-477-2588 or visit our office at 312 West 8th Avenue, Fourth Floor, Spokane, WA 99204 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. ​
