Funding Recommendations for the Community Development Block Grant Public Services Program Applications for the 2024-25 Program Year
body
Executive Summary:
Each year the Citizen Participation Advisory Board (Board) considers public services applications from local non-profit organizations and City of Huntington Beach (City) departments for funding under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement grant program. In accordance with the City's Citizen Participation Plan, the Board considers, evaluates, and makes funding recommendations on all eligible applications.

The 2024-25 Annual Action Plan is due to HUD by May 16, 2024.
