The Town’s approach to utilizing the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting public service programs that directly benefit low- and moderate-income residents. By dedicating 15% of its CDBG funds to these programs, the Town is making a significant investment in services that can make a real difference in the lives of its community members.
Regarding the support for public service agencies, the Town is actively involved in assisting a variety of organizations that align with the goals of the CDBG program. These agencies play a critical role in providing essential services to the community, particularly to those in need.
For Public Facility Projects, which are another key component of community development, there isn’t a fixed funding cap. However, the allocation of funds for these projects is governed by the budgetary guidelines and constraints set forth in the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action Plan. This ensures that the allocation of resources is both strategic and in line with the Town’s broader development objectives.
For organizations interested in applying for funding, the Town releases funding applications for eligible public service agencies and Public Facility Projects annually, typically in February. To obtain an application or for more detailed information, interested parties are encouraged to reach out to Argelia Marquez. They can do so either via email at amarquez@thetownofcicero.com or by calling 708-656-8223. This point of contact serves as a resource for guidance and assistance throughout the application process, ensuring that agencies and organizations have the support they need to successfully apply for and potentially receive funding.
