SOUTH PORTLAND — Nonprofit agencies and organizations will present their proposed pubic service programs next week in hopes of winning a share of federal funding available through the city.
The city’s Community Development Block Grant Program and Community Development Advisory Committee are holding a public hearing on Feb. 12. The public hearing will be held from 9 a.m. to noon in the City Council Chambers at City Hall.
Grant applicants include programs that assist children, victims of domestic abuse and the elderly as well as programs that provide free bus passes, recreation scholarships and residential weatherization assistance.
About $103,000 in public service grant funding is available through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. So far, total funding requests stand at $213,326.
The Community Development Advisory Committee will review the applications and make its recommendations to the City Council.
