The City will accept applications for CDBG project and program funding from March 27, 2020 through May 1, 2020 (5:00 p.m.).

These funds are primarily for projects and programs that benefit low-to-moderate income residents of San Marcos. Applications may be submitted by non-profit organizations and City departments; the City is not accepting applications from individuals who need personal housing or other financial assistance. For programs related to COVID-19 response, the City may consider applications from for-profit entities.
