The City of Manhattan is accepting proposals for 2019 Community Development Block Grant projects that benefit low and moderate income individuals or areas. The city will collect suggestions online through December 7th.
“We’re asking Manhattan residents, agencies and non-profits to give us proposals for public services, public facilities, housing and infrastructure improvements that serve low income areas of the city or low income residents,” said Christina L’Ecuyer, grant administrator for the City of Manhattan. “At the public meeting, we accept these same types of proposals and also accept suggestions for needed public services that could be funded through the annual request for proposals process.”
Project proposals can include improvements, renovations or construction of non-residential historic buildings, ADA improvements to public facilities such as community centers, senior centers, homeless shelters, youth centers, parks and recreational facilities, flood drainage improvements, street improvements, sidewalks, child care centers or any other public facility that serves low-income demographics.
Selected projects will be included in the 2019 Annual Action Plan submitted to U.S. Housing and Urban Development next year.
