Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
The Community Development Block Grant Program began in 2004 in the City of LaPorte. Funded projects must meet one of the national objectives established by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. These objectives are benefitting low- and moderate-income persons, preventing or eliminating slums or blight, or meeting other community needs having an urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet such needs.
PROGRAM YEAR 2023 PUBLIC SERVICE PROPOSALS SOUGHT
The City of La Porte’s Office of Community Development is currently seeking proposals for its Public Services Program funded through the federal Community Development Block Grant program.
Proposed projects must be able to demonstrate a clear role in improving the quality of life for low- and moderate-income citizens of La Porte and must further the goals of self-sufficiency and self-reliance for La Porte residents. The deadline to submit a proposal is noon on Friday, May 24, 2024.
A technical assistance meeting for those organizations that are new to the process will be held on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall (801 Michigan Avenue). Please contact the Office of Community Development and Planning to register for the meeting.
