Citizens Advisory Committee Members Needed (CDBG, HOME and ESG programs)
The City is seeking volunteers for the Citizens Advisory Committee that reviews grant applications and recommends funding allocations to the City Manager for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs.
The City of Lowell is looking for people interested in volunteering to serve on the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for our Consolidated Plan. This 7 to 11 member committee is responsible for reviewing all grant applications submitted by non-profit organizations and city departments requesting funding under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME, and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) programs.
These grant funds are distributed annually through a competitive proposal process. CAC members review written grant applications, hear testimony from applicants at a public hearing, and meet during the winter months to formulate a recommended plan for awarding grants. This recommendation is forwarded to the City Manager and forms the basis for the City's annual spending plan for these federal grants.
Because these funds are intended to benefit low and moderate-income people as well as minorities, people of color and residents of Lowell's lower-income neighborhoods are particularly encouraged to apply. All members must be residents of Lowell.
If you are interested, please submit a letter of interest and/or resume to Senior Community Development Planner, Allison Lamey at alamey@lowellma.gov or 50 Arcand Drive, Lowell, MA 01852) no later than 4:00 PM on November 20, 2009. All materials received will be forwarded to the City Manager for his review and appointments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Allison Lamey 978-446-7200 (x1429) or by email.
