City of Jurupa Valley Public Service Grants

The City of Jurupa Valley administers its Public Service Grant program as part of its annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The 2026–2027 Community Development Block Grant Public Service Grant Application cycle provides targeted support to nonprofit social service organizations that directly serve low-to-moderate-income residents within the City of Jurupa Valley, California. The program is rooted in federal objectives to enhance community development, accessibility, and livability through services addressing critical needs such as homelessness, youth programming, senior assistance, and health services. Jurupa Valley's administration of these grants reflects a commitment to equitable support for vulnerable populations and a structured local approach to federal funding distribution. Eligible applicants are generally nonprofit organizations with demonstrated experience in delivering community services that align with CDBG objectives. To qualify for funding, organizations must provide services to individuals or households who meet federal low-to-moderate income thresholds. Applicants are required to document compliance with HUD income requirements or, alternatively, verify that clients served fall under HUD’s presumed beneficiary categories, which include seniors over 62 years of age, individuals with disabilities, homeless persons, victims of domestic violence, persons with HIV/AIDS, and others. All applicants must be in compliance with city zoning and licensure regulations and must hold appropriate insurance policies to qualify for funding. The application process for the 2026–2027 cycle opened in December 2025 and closes promptly at 3:00 PM on January 31, 2026. Applicants must submit two original printed copies along with supporting documentation to Jurupa Valley City Hall and must also email a digital copy to the Deputy City Manager, Amy Sells. Required materials include the completed application form, proposed budget, a breakdown of CDBG-funded personnel (if applicable), tax exemption documentation, most recent audit and tax filing, and a campaign contribution disclosure form per California Government Code Section 84308. Modified or late applications will not be accepted under any circumstances. Once the application period closes, submissions are reviewed first by City staff, followed by the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC), which makes formal recommendations to the Jurupa Valley City Council. Funding decisions are then finalized based on alignment with program goals and eligibility. Applicants are expected to provide performance data demonstrating both outputs (number of individuals served) and outcomes (benefits to recipients), and must meet or exceed 75% of projected service targets to avoid repayment or disqualification from future funding. Funded services must be delivered between July 1, 2026 and June 30, 2027. Applicants are also required to document and report detailed demographic, income, and eligibility information about their clients, in accordance with HUD guidelines. The program restricts funding to eligible uses such as staff salaries, program supplies, insurance, and direct assistance to clients. Political activity, sectarian programs, and debt reduction are not eligible uses. Selected organizations must adhere to a reimbursement model and provide proper expenditure documentation for grant disbursement. This annual grant opportunity reflects Jurupa Valley’s continued effort to address systemic gaps in services while ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of federal funds. The City maintains a regular schedule for its CDBG public service grants, with application materials typically released in January or February each year. Organizations are encouraged to participate in the informal workshops hosted by the City and to maintain communication with staff to ensure eligibility and compliance throughout the process.

Ensure full completion of all forms; no late or modified submissions allowed; 75% service delivery requirement to retain funds.
