The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has made approximately $3 million available for grants for community facilities, planning and capacity building, economic development, micro-enterprise programs, and housing rehabilitation. These grants are available on a competitive basis to Nevada's 26 non-entitlement cities and counties. Washoe County is eligible to apply for projects located in unincorporated areas of the county. Seventy percent of the projects funded must benefit communities and neighborhoods where at least 51% of the residents have annual household incomes of 80% or less of the median income for their respective counties.
Other items to be discussed at the meetings include:
- Past grant performance and the status of any existing CDBG grants.
