REQUEST FOR
PROPOSALS
The City of Rio Rancho Financial Services Department, HUD/CDBG Grant Administration Office hereby requests proposals from public or private not-for-profit organizations to carry out activities to develop healthy communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunity, principally for persons of low to moderate income. Funding for these activities will be provided by the City’s Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program.
Approximately $575,000.00 will be available for eligible activities meeting one of three National Objectives, including: benefits to the low-and-moderate income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or to meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious or immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs.
