Process by which Funding Recommendations are made to the City Commission 

The application process and funding awards are recommended by the Community Development Advisory Board (CDAB) and approved by the City Commission. The CDAB is an advisory board, made up of up to eleven (11) Hollywood residents, appointed by the City Commission. 

Each year the CDAB holds a publicly advertised Citizen Needs Assessment prior to the grant cycle. The Board then identifies the public service focus areas for the Community Development Block Grant based on citizen needs, data and other resources. 

The CDAB reviews the grant applications, listens to applicant presentations for CDBG Funds and collectively makes funding recommendations to the City Commission.

CDBG applications are due by February 22, 2023 at 3:00 PM to the Community Development Division, located at City Hall, in the Old Library Building- North Entrance.

If your organization is interested in applying for future grant opportunities from the City of Hollywood, please provide your agency name, contact and email address to Donna Biederman, Community Development Project Manager, with the Department of Development Services, Community Development Division.
