Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The City receives funds annually from U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to award to organizations serving lower income Hayward residents in housing and community development. To be eligible for Community Development Block Grants organizations must be:
- Nonprofit or governmental
- serve low income Hayward residents
- submit projects for funding that assist in one or more CDBG priority areas.
Federal regulations require the City of Hayward to adhere to a Community Participation Plan (CPP) that provides community members with an opportunity to participate in an advisory capacity in planning and assessing CDBG, HOME, and other HUD-funded programs.
Grants are awarded using a competitive process. Organizations usually submit proposals in December or January. Proposals are reviewed February - April and awarded in May. Funded grant activities begin on July 1st.
