Actual grant terms may vary, depending upon service and project needs at the City’s sole and absolute discretion. Applicants selected for resulting grants(s) must be available to commence work on or after July 1, 2023. Thus, the anticipated grant term for this RFP is July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024.
