The City of Phoenix is now accepting applications for two different COVID-19 related funding opportunities for nonprofits or schools. The first is the COVID Clean Public Facilities and School Improvement and Upgrades Program. The Phoenix City Council allocated $2.3 million in Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV) money to fund COVID-19 prevention improvements in public facilities, including public schools, that provide services to individuals and families with low-and-moderate-incomes. Examples of eligible improvements include new HVAC systems, HEPA systems, antimicrobial surfaces & touchless fixtures to address the effects of the current pandemic and mitigate the future spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.
The second grant opportunity is open for nonprofits to apply for funds to acquire real property for Shelter Acquisition Projects. The Phoenix City Council allocated an additional $2 million in Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV) money to fund property acquisitions for emergency or transitional shelter facilities. The funding will be provided to eligible nonprofits to purchase underutilized buildings, like motels, to be used as day and night shelter facilities for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The goal is to reduce transmission of COVID-19 by providing adequate, accessible, smaller, and specialized shelters and temporary housing for people experiencing homelessness.
