City accepting applications for community development grants

San Bernardino’s Community and Economic Development Department’s Housing Division is now accepting proposals for its 2023 – 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program.

The CDBG program can fund eligible community and economic development projects and programs that meet one of the following national objectives: 1) principally benefit low-and moderate-income persons, 2) eliminate slums and blight, and 3) meet an urgent need.

The City is also seeking applications from local organizations that have experience and are qualified to provide services to assist individuals and families to quickly regain stability in permanent housing from crises or homelessness. Eligible activities for ESG funds include street outreach, emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing assistance, and data collection.

Applications are available online at www.sbcity.org/housing or may be picked up in person at the Community and Economic Development office Mondays through Thursdays, from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on the third floor at 201 N. E Street in San Bernardino.

The deadline for applying is January 23rd, at 3:00 p.m.
