FY 2027-2028 Community Enhancement Grant

Funded organizations are responsible for providing approved public service activities that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income Raleigh residents. Eligible activities may include assistance for households experiencing or exiting homelessness, reintegration services for individuals returning from incarceration, job training and workforce development, youth tutoring and gang prevention initiatives, substance abuse prevention and treatment, individual or family counseling services, childcare assistance, programs serving older adults, and other eligible public services addressing documented needs. Organizations must document CDBG eligibility, track Raleigh participants and required outcomes, maintain supporting program and financial records, comply with all applicable requirements and terms of the executed agreement, and (for homelessness-related services or activities serving populations subject to Coordinated Entry) coordinate referrals and service delivery with the Wake County CoC's Coordinated Entry process and applicable community referral systems. At least 51% of participants must be from households earning at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI).
