The city of Pasco encourages nonprofits focused on creating jobs for low-income residents and other efforts to support and improve the community to apply for community development block grants by the end of May. 

City officials anticipate receiving $651,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to distribute this year, according to a release.  

Applicants must be qualified nonprofit 501(c)(3) and proposals must address a priority needs identified in the city’s strategic plan, among other requirements. Applications will be considered during two public hearings in June and July. 

Grant applications are available via the city’s website.
