City Accepting Applications for Community Development Block Grants for COVID-19 Relief

The City of Lee’s Summit is currently accepting applications from qualified agencies through June 5 for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding specifically allocated to provide relief to low-to-moderate income individuals affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, the City will receive $219,061 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Applications are available at cityofLS.net/development. Applicants must show a direct increase in service need as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and verify no other state or federal funding is available to meet those needs. All proposals must comply with applicable requirements and regulations.

Qualified agencies include public agencies and nonprofit organizations. For-profit organizations may also be eligible for consideration if the proposed programs or projects serve a public purpose. Individuals are not eligible to apply.

Applications should be submitted to cdbg@cityofls.net no later than 5 p.m. on June 5. For questions about the application and/or eligibility requirements, contact Sarah Tilbury at 969-1243 or email Sarah.Tilbury@cityofLS.net.
