City accepting grant applications

Moreno Valley is accepting applications for grants that will be used to remove blight and help low and moderate income residents.

City officials expect to receive nearly $2 million in Community Development Block Grant funds, which are issued by the U.S, Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to a statement.

The city also anticipates getting $533,300 in Home Investment Partnership funds and about $174,000 in Emergency Solutions Grants, both of which are also given out by HUD. All of that money is being allocated for fiscal year 2018-’19.

Moreno Valley’s Financial & Management Services Department will accept proposals through Jan. 31. Applications are available by calling (951) 413-3450.

Eligible projects include neighborhood improvements, housing rehabilitation, establishing affordable housing, crime prevention and code enforcement. Both government and certified non-profit agencies may apply for funding, according to the statement.
