On or about November 5, 2008, the City of Dearborn will begin accepting proposals for its 2009-10 HUD funded Housing and Community Development programs. Proposals will be accepted through December 19, 2008. A proposal package containing brief program descriptions and a funding application is available at the address below (and through links on this page).

Anticipated 2008-09 funding includes: $2.2 million Community Development Block Grant (including program income and net pre-award funding), $90,000Emergency Shelter Grant, and $500,000 HOME. Pre-awarded Community Development Block Grant funding will be allocated for public facility or infrastructure projects in an approximate amount of $525,000.
