Cities have additional deadlines between February and June that prospective applicants will need to meet.

About the Livable Communities Act (LCA) Programs
There are several different grant programs within the Livable Communities Act, each program supporting different kinds of projects. All the programs share the goals of creating more housing choice, supporting living wage jobs, improving connections, and achieving more equitable development outcomes.
The program pages offer all the information you will need to apply. Find the program you are looking for on the left side navigation.
Because all applications must come from a government organization, we offer specific tips for developers and community organizations on the Developers page.
Reach out to the Program Coordinator (found on each program page) with any questions you have about the programs, if your project is eligible, and how to apply.
