Center for Community Progress Technical Assistance Scholarship - Code Enforcement

Funding Opportunity

Center for Community Progress is launching a round of TAS alongside their new publication, Reevaluating Code Enforcement: A New Approach to Problem Properties. Scholarships will be awarded to those communities inspired by the publication’s challenge to shift from a traditional code enforcement approach to a strategic code compliance approach to help address vacant, abandoned, and deteriorating (VAD) properties.

As the publication documents, a strategic code compliance framework is not only more effective and efficient, but also supportive of broader community development goals, like resiliency, housing security, neighborhood safety, and racial justice.

Scholarship Application

Deadline:
May 31, 2024
Amount:
Assistance:
200 hours of customized technical assistance valued at $50,000
Location:

Eligibility:

Local governments that serve jurisdictions with populations between 25,000 and 500,000 (based on 2020 Census) are eligible to apply. Strong preference will be given to communities with significant levels of vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated (VAD) properties.

Timing:

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning April 1, 2024. The application window will be closed May 31, 2024, or when scholarship funding has been exhausted, whichever is sooner.

This application process is intended to be short and simple to allow a broad range of communities to submit creative, compelling proposals.
