CDBG Public Service Applications
The Cty is now solicitating applications from local non-profits for funding under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 51st Program year! Please find the required application included below.
This competitive application will make a portion of the City’s 51st Year CDBG funds available to non-profit organizations in the form of public service grants. Eligible public service activities include, but are not limited to, programs that address: childcare, healthcare, job training, recreation programs, education programs, public safety, fair housing, substance abuse, mental health, youth services, senior services, etc.
The City anticipates awarding public service grants of $5,000 to $10,000 per agency. However, please note that public service grants to be provided through this application are ultimately determined by the overall CDBG funding that is awarded to the City by Nassau County (which is not known at this time), as well by City priorities. Therefore, no funding amounts or awards are guaranteed.

About the Community Development Block Grant:
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to states, cities, and counties to carry out a wide range of activities such as revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development, and providing improved community facilities and services, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The program is authorized under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383, as amended 42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.
The City of Long Beach receives its annual allocation of CDBG funding from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) through the Nassau County Urban Consortium. The City uses the grant funds for a variety of projects such as parks and playground upgrades, community center upgrades, streetscape improvements, public service programs for low/moderate income individuals, and more.
