Each grant cycle the City Commission votes to approve Neighborhood Grants.

Each application will be given a maximum total of 100 points as follows:
Project Description (20 points) - How well does the application describe the project and its goals?
Demonstration of Community Need (20 points) - How well does the application describe, communicate/address a community need?
Evidence of Community/Association Strengthening (20 points) - Does the project have the potential to strengthen the association and neighborhood?
Community Support (20 points) - Does the application show evidence of community consensus for the project and resident involvement in the implementation?
Appropriate of Proposed Budget (20 points) - Are the budget revenues and expenses clear and justifiable, funding source appropriate?

The grants awarded to City Neighborhoods during each cycle begin the implementation process as soon as funds are approved by the City Commission. It 's an exciting year ahead as we follow the progress of the projects and witness their successes. Neighborhood Services staff are working with neighborhood leadership to administrate projects and track their progress.
