MOHAVE COUNTY – Mohave County is expected to receive approximately $812,740 in FY2024 Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Arizona Department of Housing Regional Account (RA). Mohave County also intends to apply for $500,000 in FY2024 and FY2025 competitive CDBG funds from the State Special Project (SSP) account.
CDBG funds must be used to benefit low-income persons and areas, alleviate slum and blight or address urgent need.
A public hearing will be held Thursday, January 11, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. in the Saguaro Conference Room at the Mohave County Administration Building, 700 West Beale Street in Kingman to gather citizen input on the use of the CDBG funds.
Eligible applicants (sub-grantees) include public or private non-profit agency with a 501(c)(3) from the IRS and a special district that is an actual political entity – such as a fire or water district.
Examples of the possible fund uses include the following:
1. Public Infrastructure (e.g., water, wastewater, street improvements);
2. Community Facilities (e.g., parks, health clinics, libraries, senior or youth centers);
3. Housing (e.g., owner-occupied or multi-family rehab, utility connections on private
property, new housing constructed by non-profit);
4. Public Services (e.g., paying the salary of an additional staff person to expand a Head
Start program, purchasing equipment, and rent to start a new job training program;
5. Economic Development (e.g., a loan to a business for job creation, micro-enterprise
development, acquisition of land for an existing business expansion).
