Notice of Funding Availability for Program Year 2023-2024

The City of Wichita Falls invites all non-profit and public entities to apply for subrecipient funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) or HOME Investment Partnership-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) for Program Year 2023-2024. Program Year 2023-2024 conincides with Fiscal Year 2023-2024 which runs from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.  Generally, the City receives approximately $1.2 million in CDBG funding annually with approximately 25-50% being granted to subrecipients in any given year. HOME-ARP consists of a one-time special allocation and has approximately $714,000 remaining to be granted out to local program.

• Applications for CDBG funding should be returned to the Neighborhood Resources Division on or before FRIDAY, April 14, 2023 by 5:00 P.M.    
• Projects located within the 100-year floodplain are NOT eligible for funding. For more information on this please see the "Supplemental Information" below.
• All CDBG applications must meet a national objective for the CDBG Program.   Applicants must detail how their project will meet one of the objectives / eligible activities listed in the application.
• All HOME-ARP applications must serve one or more of the qualifying populations as listed in CPD Memo 21-10.   Applicants must detail how their project will serve one or more of these populations, in addition to detailing how it is an eligible activity listed in the application.
• Eligible projects with a much better chance to receive consideration for funding are those related to physical improvements of the organization’s facility. Subrecipient grants for service related activities are limited due to federal regulations, and, as such, are highly competitive.
