City of Perris Community Development Block Grant

The City of Perris is accepting applications for its 2025-2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, which funds eligible public service and non-public service programs and projects that address the needs of low-to-moderate income residents. Approximately $886,118 is expected to be available for the fiscal year, with $132,917 allocated for public service projects and $575,978 for non-public service projects. Proposed projects must meet one of three National Objectives: benefiting low- and moderate-income individuals, aiding in the elimination of slums or blight, or addressing an urgent need. Projects must also align with the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan and meet federal eligibility requirements. Eligible projects include job training, child care, crime prevention, health services, senior services, educational programs, housing assistance, and infrastructure improvements. Applications must demonstrate how they align with program goals and federal regulations. The City strongly encourages applicants to attend a virtual workshop or view the recorded session to understand program requirements.
