CDBG PSF NOFA 2026-2027

Notice is hereby given that the City of Mission Viejo anticipates receiving approximately $369,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. The primary objective of the CDBG Program is “the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income.”

At this time, the City is accepting applications from existing tax-exempt California nonprofit organizations that provide eligible CDBG services benefiting low- and moderate-income Mission Viejo residents. The City is also requesting community input concerning grant allocation. The City of Mission Viejo Community Services Commission will review and recommend the public service component of the City’s application for CDBG funds to the Planning and Transportation Commission. The Planning and Transportation Commission will conduct a public hearing on all aspects of the City’s proposed CDBG application to HUD and recommend specific programs and funding amounts to the City Council. The public hearings held by the Community Services Commission and Planning and Transportation Commission on this matter are tentatively scheduled for February 17, 2026, and March 9, 2026, respectively.
