The Noblesville Housing Authority has announced the availability of funding through the Hamilton County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for Program Year 2018 (Oct. 1, 2018 to Sept. 30, 2019). The Noblesville Housing Authority anticipates Hamilton County will receive approximately $851,000 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds will be used to support activities that accomplish the goals and objectives outlined in the County’s 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan.
Projects must benefit residents of participating municipalities (Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville and Westfield) or residents of the unincorporated areas of Hamilton County. The Noblesville Housing Authority is soliciting applications for CDBG funding from qualified nonprofit organizations for eligible activities.
Eligible activities include, but are not limited to: affordable housing, historic preservation, slum and blight removal, and public service activities. Public service activities are available for services provided by organizations located in Hamilton County or that serve residents of Hamilton County. Eligible public service activities may include but are not limited to job training, crime prevention, health services, services for homeless persons and prevention, substance abuse services, and fair housing counseling and education programs.
“The Community Development Block Grant program is an important and versatile tool in helping to better our community. It benefits the most vulnerable amongst us,” said Aimee Jacobsen, Executive Director of the Noblesville Housing Authority.
If an organization is interested in participating in the CDBG Program they may download and fill out the 2018 CDBG Pre-Application at the Hamilton County Community Development Project website, hamiltoncounty.in.gov/634/Community-Development-Project-Details.
