ROSEVILLE The Roseville City Council unanimously approved its Community Development Block Grant nonprofit distributions for fiscal year 2022 at its regular meeting April 13.
Eleven nonprofit organizations received a portion of the grant money that comes annually from the federal government.
“This year, we saw a decrease in our funding from HUD,” explained Jim Gammicchia, the city’s administrative services administrator. “This year, we received 10 applications versus the four we received last year. For 2022, we only can use 15% of the funding from the government for public service allocations. That equates to $89,182 in total, and those go toward all public service distributions, not just the agencies that have applied. We also use it for some other repair projects.”
