Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Public Service Activities CFDA Number: 14.218
Submission Deadline Extended to March 29, 2021
This LOI announces the availability of funding under CDBG-COVID-19 to community-based, not-for-profit organizations that implement programs and/or projects addressing designated non-housing services for COVID-19 related activities. Services are limited to the City of Shreveport.
The city of Shreveport receives annual entitlement funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which includes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act (COVID-19). The CARES Act made available $1,369,767 to the City of Shreveport under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV). Approximately $700,000 will be available for funding. These funds are to be used to prevent, prepare for and respond to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
The City will only consider funding projects, which are consistent with the 2019 Annual Action Plan as amended to address COVID-19 under the CDBG Public Service category. Allocation of the CDBG funds will be based on the priorities and goals established in the FY 2019 Substantial Amendment to the FY 2019 Annual Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The substantial amendment is located on the City’s website at www.shreveportla.gov.
