      Application packets can be obtained at the Community Development Division, 5th floor, City/ County Building and on the City's web-site at www.knoxvilletn.gov/citygrants.

      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.

      The City of Knoxville will fund projects that provide specific "essential services" to the community on behalf of the Community Development Division. CDBG funds will be available to non-profit and public agencies for the following projects: housing improvement projects, including emergency home repair and minor home repair, planning and design technical assistance to non-profit and community organizations, and management of the homeless information and tracking system. 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 $46,800 for a family of four).
