NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND REQUESTS FOR CDBG FUNDING PROPOSALS 

The City of Baltimore through its Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and Mayor’s Office of Homeless Services (MOHS) is providing notice of its intent to submit an Annual Action Plan to allocate funding from its four (4) U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) formula grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026/City Fiscal Year (CFY) 2027.        

IMPORTANT NOTICE: FFY 2026/CFY 2027 funding appropriations for the above-listed formula grant programs have not yet been finalized by federal lawmakers. ALL requests and subsequent awards for funding under the City’s formula grants are fully contingent upon allocations being made by the federal government.  

Public Hearing
DHCD and MOHS will conduct an on-line/phone-in community input session on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. to discuss community needs and funding availability for City Fiscal Year (CFY) 2027 (PY2026/CD-52).

CDBG Application
DHCD is inviting non-profit organizations and City agencies to submit requests for funding through the CDBG Program. Requests for Funding for HOME, HOPWA and ESG will be issued separately.  

The focus of Baltimore’s CDBG program is to support low- to moderate-income communities and households and eliminate conditions of slum and blight. For CFY27/CD-52 we will not be able to consider new requests for funding under Public Service or Administrative/Planning activities due to capped restrictions. 

The CDBG application link will be available January 19, 2026, via the Neighborly portal: Neighborly Software: Login. Please note: the CDBG application will not be visible on the Neighborly portal until that date. All applications must be submitted via the Neighborly platform. The deadline for requests for funding is 5:30 p.m., Friday, February 27, 2026.

Please visit the CDBG Resources page for more information on submission requirements, resources and training opportunities.
