Miami Funds Downtown Development Programs

Downtown Miami residents and organizations can now seek funding for community development initiatives. The city will soon issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for several grant programs, impacting areas from the historic Brickell neighborhood to the Arts & Entertainment District.

The upcoming RFPs will cover funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs. These federal grants, administered by the city, support projects benefiting low- and moderate-income individuals and communities, addressing homelessness, and providing housing assistance to those affected by HIV/AIDS.

The city will issue the official RFPs on February 6, 2023. This date marks the start of the application period for organizations seeking funds for programs and services within Downtown Miami and surrounding areas.

Details on eligibility, application procedures, and specific funding priorities for each grant will be available with the RFP release. Interested parties should monitor official city communications for these documents.
