Organizations that submit a joint application may request a maximum of <br />$150,000.

The grant management application allows for online <br />application submission, rating, and reporting. Staff will be available to assist nonprofits with <br />technical support throughout the application process. <br />The review of applications and recommendations for funding will be performed by the Community <br />Redevelopment and Housing Commission (CRHC).
