DHCD requests public input on housing and community development needs and the development of proposed activities in advance of the FY 2025 Norfolk HUD entitlement allocations.
Eligible nonprofit agencies may apply for grants for the FY 2025 grant year (Jul. 1, 2024 – Jun. 30, 2025). Applications will be accepted Nov. 27 through 5 p.m. on Jan. 5, 2024, and are available at www.norfolk.gov/HUDgrants.
