The City of Seaside is reopening the application process for the 2022-2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding cycle on Wednesday, December 1, 2021. The City is an entitlement community and anticipates receiving approximately $375,000 per fiscal year in CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

This Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) covers a two-year period for CDBG activities that will begin July 1, 2022, and end June 30, 2024. Funding will be contingent on availability from HUD and will be administered by the City through its Community Development Department. All proposed public service and public facilities and infrastructure activities must benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) Seaside residents and/or designated LMI areas, meet HUD’s national objectives and align with the City’s goals and priorities as identified in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
