As the City of Arlington receives and deploys CARES Act funds, the CARES Act in Action series will take a closer look into how Arlington is using its portion to serve, support and protect Arlington residents and businesses.

Up to $1,003,600 is available for organizations providing direct response to COVID-19 including transportation, food, meal delivery, childcare, and job skills training. The City has released a request for proposals (RFP) for non-profit organizations to apply for CDBG CARES act funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The RFP is open to all organizations providing essential services to low- and moderate-income Arlington residents, as a part of the three-phase approach to using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

Applications are due May 22, 2020. Funds are available to current CDBG sub-recipients and new applicants. For more information or questions, email [email protected].
