Municipalities may request funding between $15,000 and $150,000 for implementation-ready projects. The evaluation process is heavily weighted toward the project's logic model, which connects identified barriers to expected outcomes, accounting for 60 percent of the total score. Other scoring factors include cost and budget alignment, a project narrative, and the applicant's experience and qualifications. The submission deadline is November 13, 2026, with proposals required via the County's eProcurement Portal. Successful applicants must certify project readiness, ensuring 60 percent of milestones are completed within 18 months and 100 percent within 24 months.
