2023 City of Sacramento

Notice of Funding Availability – NOFA for Non-Profits and Small Jurisdictions

NOFA #2325-MA

The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (Agency) is soliciting proposals for eligible public facility improvement activities under the 2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The CDBG program, a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program, is authorized by Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended.

The purpose of the CDBG program is to benefit low-to moderate-income (LMI) households and neighborhoods by developing viable communities which include decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities.

The Agency is the Grantee for CDBG funds received annually from HUD and administers these funds on behalf of the City of Sacramento. Programs and projects are approved annually by the Sacramento City Council. CDBG funds available in this NOFA for eligible public facility projects are as follows:

• City of Sacramento $100,000

Request must be between $25,000 and $100,000

Total project costs may exceed the maximum award of $100,000 provided the applicant can demonstrate that additional funds are available to complete the project. Organizations should apply for funds from the City allocation based on where the facility and service area are located.

The Agency may select more than one project in each jurisdiction for the Funding Year 2023 for the City of Sacramento. An award amount over $100,000 requires governing board approval. The CDBG Program has limited funding; therefore, the Agency will emphasize the award of funds consistent with the Consolidated Plan’s SP-25 Priority Needs (91.215(a)(2), specifically Priority Need #3 Non-Housing Community Development.

Eligible applicants are non-profit organizations and public entities from small jurisdictions (excluding incorporated cities). Activities funded under the NOFA must be located in the City of Sacramento. They must also serve a CDBG eligible low-income population and comply with eligibility requirements for the CDBG program.
