Each year, the city receives funding to support eligible activities through the Community Development Block Grant (CDGB), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), and Housing

The application portal can be accessed at FayettevilleNC.gov/ECD. Applications are due Jan. 28.  

 

Four public meetings will be held starting Feb. 13 and residents will have an opportunity to provide feedback and review the drafted Annual Action Plan. Following are the

 meeting dates and locations:
