The City of Rancho Cordova needs your help in determining priorities for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. In the next five years, we anticipate $2.5 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development towards the program.

We have been asking residents and people who work in our community to take a 15-20 minute survey to help us understand where you would like the money to be spent. The funding is limited to supporting public projects and services for youth, seniors, and principally low- and moderate-income persons in Rancho Cordova, whereas other funding opportunities like the Community Enhancement Fund can support a wider range of community priorities

As part of this effort, the City is holding two public meetings to help answer questions and gather feedback about priorities for the CDBG program. Refreshments will be provided. Residents are invited to attend the following:

• January 28, 2016 at 6 p.m. at Folsom Cordova Community Partnership in the Diversity Room, 10665 Coloma Road
• February 10, 2016 at 6 p.m. at Cordova Meadows Elementary School, 2550 La Loma Drive

Individuals who can't attend the meetings are encouraged to take the survey before February 5, 2016. The City is also accepting applications from non-profit service providers for CDBG services and capital funding for Fiscal Year 2016-17. The deadline to apply is on Monday, February 15, 2016 at 5 p.m.

Both items are available at CityOfRanchoCordova.org. Select Government, Community Development, Neighborhood Planning & Projects, and Community Development Block Grant.
