      Applications for Funding Available

      Posted: 01/08/2007
      Applications for funding under the City of Knoxville's Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) programs will be available on January 8, 2007.

       ESG funds will be available for projects that assist homeless persons in accordance with the Knoxville-Knox County Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness. HOME funding will be available to certified Community Housing Development Organizations for housing related activities, including housing development and improvement. CDBG funds will be available to non-profit and public agencies for a variety of projects, including property acquisition, facility renovations, infrastructure improvements (including sidewalks and parks), and housing improvements. CDBG funding may also be used to provide services, including literacy, health care, child care, services for elderly persons, and employment training. Both CDBG and HOME funding must be used to assist people who meet the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's low to moderate income limits (currently $43,850 for a family of four).
