August 25, 2011 (San Diego County) — The County Department of Housing and Community Development, or HCD, will host 10 meetings throughout the county in September on how to apply for federal community development funds. Meeting dates and locations are attached.
The funds are provided through the federal Community Development Block Grant, or CDBG, program to benefit lower income residents of the unincorporated area with projects such as senior centers, parks, drainage improvements and health centers. HCD administers the funds, though the final allocation is not yet known due to federal budget negotiations.
The meeting will also provide general information about the following programs:
- HOME Investment Partnerships and CDBG Affordable Housing Programs. These are funds for affordable housing programs HCD administers for the unincorporated area and the cities of Coronado, Del Mar, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, Solana Beach, Carlsbad, Encinitas, La Mesa, San Marcos, Santee, and Vista.
- Emergency Shelter Grants. The funds are for improving the quality and number of emergency shelters and transitional facilities for homeless persons and to prevent at-risk families or individuals from becoming homeless. Administered by HCD for the unincorporated area and the cities of Coronado, Del Mar, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway and Solana Beach.
- Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS. The funds are for affordable housing and services for low-income households of people living with HIV or AIDS. HCD administers the program for the entire San Diego County region.
Additional information and applications are available on HCD’s Web site at www.sdhcd.com or HCD headquarters at 3989 Ruffin Road in Kearny Mesa. The public can also contact Lorene Kellogg at 858-694-8724 or lorene.kellogg@sdcounty.ca.gov. For deaf or hard of hearing, call 866-945-2207.
