Summary
This grant opportunity supports a broad range of community-centered projects, from housing initiatives and infrastructure improvements to public services and emergency support programs. Designed to address pressing local needs, it aims to make measurable impacts in areas like affordable housing, homelessness prevention, community infrastructure, and nonprofit capacity-building.
Qualified applicants include nonprofit organizations, municipalities, and coalitions, depending on the specific funding path. Generally, eligible entities must serve low- and moderate-income individuals or areas, and may need to hold tax-exempt status or demonstrate municipal authority. Income thresholds (e.g., at or below 80% of area median for certain activities, and as low as 60% for affordable rental housing) help ensure the focus remains on communities with the greatest need. Additional eligibility criteria may involve geographic location, organizational size, financial practices, and compliance with fair housing and federal nondiscrimination regulations.
Applicants are expected to complete a detailed online application, including supplemental forms such as budgets, fair housing certifications, organizational charts, and evidence of municipal or public notification. Some grant tracks require implementation timelines or property tax certifications. Workshops are offered to guide applicants through the process, and technical assistance is available prior to the deadline. Proposals are evaluated based on demonstrated need, organizational capacity, program strategy, and measurable performance goals. Bonus points may be awarded for projects benefiting areas near transit or opportunity zones.
Funded initiatives must comply with reporting requirements, including financial documentation, progress tracking, and regulatory oversight. Expenses must align with allowable cost principles, and funded activities are monitored for equitable impact, organizational readiness, and long-term sustainability.
If you are located in Pennsylvania and working in the area of Homeless, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
