In the past, CB Grant staff would usually be distributing applications and preparing for workshops during the month of July; however with the City facing another difficult budget year, funding was not allocated to offer Community Beautification Grants for the 2010-11 fiscal year. Since funding is not available, we will not be hosting our popular grant preparation workshops, nor awarding neighborhoods new funding for beautification projects this year.
To date, the CB Grant Program has completed over 1,035 projects in partnership with community organizations. We hope that the suspension of the CB Grant program is temporary so that we can continue to make a difference in the neighborhoods of Los Angeles with this grant.
Although we can't fund projects for 2010-11, CB Grant staff will continue to support the 200+ projects that are in progress. We will also keep an eye out for opportunities that are open to the community and post them on this blog.
