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 $490,000.00 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.

This year, the Department of Financial Services requests digital CDBG Grant application submissions. Request for Proposals (Application) packets will be available on the City of Rio Rancho’s CDBG webpage Friday, December 29, 2023. Please contact Susan Gonzales at: sgonzales@rrnm.gov or Don Martinez by phone at: (505) 896-8720 for assistance, or questions. For hearing impaired individuals, please dial 711.

Proposals must be submitted no later than 5:00pm local time on Wednesday, January 31, 2024. Applicants should email completed application packets to sgonzales@rrnm.gov.
