The
Denver Office of Economic Development has funding for projects and related services that make a positive impact on neighborhoods.
The office is seeking proposals in three areas: housing, neighborhood development and services, and economic development.
The selected projects will be funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant program, HOME Investment Partnerships and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDs programs.
The goal of the program is to broaden the tax base; stimulate balanced economic growth through business assistance, neighborhood revitalization and the development of a skilled workforce; and focus on innovation, sustainability and education.
Eligible uses of grant program funds include purchase, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or installation of public facilities and improvements to schools, libraries, nursing homes, domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, group homes and emergency shelters. Improvements can include streets, sidewalks, curbs, parks, playgrounds, water and sewer lines, parking lots and aesthetic amenities on public property.
Online applications for funding will be accepted through Aug. 5. at
denvergov.org/oed.
