Synopsis

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) is pleased to announce the initial release of this IIG-2019 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for approximately $55.5 million in funds.

This NOFA will provide financial assistance to nonprofit or for-profit Developers and Tribal Entities for Capital Improvement Projects in support of Qualifying Infill Projects in Small Jurisdictions (for which funding will be allocated through an over-the-counter process).
