City of Coeur d'Alene CDBG Community Opportunity Grants

Each year, the City of Coeur d’Alene invites competitive grant proposals for projects that benefit low-to-moderate income (LMI) people or neighborhoods, and/or promote job creation/economic development. Funding for the City’s CDBG Program is provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), (reference 24 CFR Part 570). Applicants must comply with all applicable federal, state, local laws and regulations. Each year, Community Opportunity Grant funding is made available, with a maximum of 15% of the total allocation available for public service projects. Other eligible projects will also be considered, including Public Facilities and LMI Affordable Housing.
