Plan Development Grantees:

For most Plan Development grantees, we will offer Bridge funding, as we expect to grant just 1-3 Implementation or Early Implementation “move-up” awards for Plan Development grantees that are meeting all benchmarks and have advanced more swiftly than anticipated through their needs assessment and action plan activities.

Those pursuing Implementation or Early Implementation funds must have completed their needs assessment and neighborhood action plan at the time of their application submission in mid-September. If a requested “move-up” award is not approved, the applicant will be considered for Bridge funding.


Partnership Development Grantees:

For Partnership Development grantees, you may stay within the current pathway in FY2026 (no change to budget or timeline) or you can apply to move up to Plan Development.
