Leesburg, VA – January 12, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — Loudoun County is requesting proposals for Loudoun’s Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) for Fiscal Year 2010-2011. The proposed projects should address at least one of the following priority areas: housing and rental assistance, health care and medical assistance, emergency needs or affordable day care. Grants awarded must benefit low-income residents of Loudoun County.
The CSBG program provides funding on an annual basis for the prevention of poverty and to promote and develop self-sufficiency. Funds will be made available upon successful application by local public agencies, non-profit agencies, and faith-based or religious organizations in the community that are already delivering similar services or may need seed money for new projects.
