NORFOLK, VA – The City of Norfolk is now accepting applications from local nonprofits to receive federal grants designed to help with a range of community development needs, affordable housing, and homelessness.
This annual endeavor is a key funding source for many nonprofits doing important work helping those in need. While the amount of federal dollars available for this round of grants, which will be distributed in July 2022, has yet to be determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, it is anticipated approximately $4-5 million will be available for awards to nonprofits.
Applications are being accepted for the following annual U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant programs: CDBG, ESG, and HOME. Applications will be open from Monday, November 29, through Friday, December 31, 2021. Application materials and details can be found at https://www.norfolk.gov/hudentitlement.
The Department of Housing and Community Development will hold an in-person public input and information session Wednesday, December 8, at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall (810 Union Street), on the 6th floor. During this session, citizens and community organizations may provide recommendations and comments on priority needs to be supported with the city’s Fiscal Year 2023 HUD allocations.
