FY 2013 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT

The City of Lawrence’s Community Development Department is seeking proposals and input for inclusion in its Action Plan for the City’s Fiscal Year 2013. The Fiscal Year 2013 Program Year will run from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Successful proposals must address the housing and community development needs presented in the City of Lawrence’s Consolidated Plan 2010-2015 found on the City’s web site, and must meet the guidelines articulated in this Request for Proposals (RFP).

The Consolidated Plan sets forth the City of Lawrence’s community needs and priorities.  The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires all entitlement communities to create Consolidated Plans and to update them every five years. The FY13 Action Plan will serve as the document that will articulate the means by which the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan are being met and responded to during the upcoming fiscal year.  This Action Plan is the third of five such annual plans. The Consolidated Plan priority needs and objectives are included with these instructions.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal, you must complete the application below and submit it with all required documents by 3:00 pm Friday February 3, 2012 to the following location:
