CDBG RFP FY 22-23

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a program federally funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that provides grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and communities. In 1991, the City of Vista became an entitlement city, which is a city with a population of 50,000 or more that receives CDBG funds directly from the federal government. The purpose of the program is to ensure communities have viable resources to provide affordable housing, a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunity. Each year the city seeks to maximize the full potential of the Grant by partnering with local organizations. This Request for Proposal (RFP) sets forth the types of social service activities that are eligible for the CDBG Program and contains the guidelines by which each organization must abide.
