Notice of Funding Availability  

Notice of Funding Availability, Fiscal Year 2024/2025

The City of Scottsdale is seeking to distribute funding directly to projects identified as top priority community needs; however, eligible proposals submitted outside these top priorities will still be considered for Community Development Block Grant and Scottsdale Cares. 

  1. Emergency Housing Assistance
  2. Crisis Case Management 
  3. Homeless Supportive Services and Shelters
  4. Vulnerable Populations: Seniors and Disabled

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG):

The City of Scottsdale is requesting proposals for the use an estimated $1,163,185 for FY 2024/2025 allocation Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which are expected to be available July 1, 2024, for activities benefiting low and moderate-income Scottsdale families.  Proposals for any eligible CDBG activity consistent with the City’s Consolidated Plan may be submitted.

Public Services: Approximately $174,000 shall be available for Public Services activities only addressing Homelessness Supportive Services and Shelters. Only a 25% funding cap shall be enforced for all CDBG Public Services activities; requested proposal amounts shall not exceed $43,500.

Housing: Approximately $200,00 may be made available for Housing activities.

Public Facilities: No funds will be made available for Public Facility activities.  

All activities and actions receiving CDBG funds must have some level of environmental review completed before CDBG funds are committed and spent, including such activities as administrative costs and down payment assistance (Refer to 24 CFR 58.38). Therefore, all project partners are bound to not committing or spending any project funds, including non-CDBG funds, until the environmental review is completed. However, there are a few actions for which non-CDBG funds may be used that are not subject to environmental review (i.e., non-choice limiting actions). Non-choice limiting actions will not have an adverse impact or limit the choice of alternatives as a consequence of using those non-CDBG funds, such as option agreements or conditional sales contracts (Refer to 24 CFR 58.22). By comparison, choice-limiting actions include acquisition, demolition, disposition, rehabilitation, repair, new construction, site preparation, and leasing or any other activities that commit to future activities. Part 58 regulations are found under Laws and Regulations posted on HUD's Environment website.
