City Accepting Proposals for Community Development Block Grant and Human Service Programs
The City of Santa Barbara will be soliciting proposals from eligible applicants for its fiscal year 2023-24 Human Services and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs.
Approximately $1.2 million is available in Human Services and CDBG grants to support local non-profit organizations that provide social services to individuals or families, or to support community-development activities such as rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements or economic development, all benefitting low and moderate-income City residents.
A mandatory application workshop for CDBG Public Service/ Human Service applicants will be held November 8, 2022, from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. A mandatory application workshop for CDBG Capital applicants will be held November 8, 2022, from 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. Both mandatory workshops will be held in the David Gebhard meeting room at 630 Garden Street. In order to submit an application, a representative of each potential applicant organization is required to attend this workshop in its entirety. Attendees of this workshop must be staff that are directly involved in preparing grant submissions.
