RE: Notice of Community Development Block Grant Program - Planning Grant Award
Dear Mayor Andrus,
On behalf of the State of Montana, it is my pleasure to notify you that the City of Bozeman has been
selected for a Community Development Block Grant Program planning grant award in the amount of
$25,000 to complete a Housing Needs Assessment.
The Community Development Block Grant Program assists cities, towns and counties to develop and
preserve decent affordable housing, provide services to the most vulnerable in our communities and to
create and retain jobs. Planning is at the foundation of building vibrant, healthy and prosperous
communities and helps to more effectively take local efforts to the next level.
All planning grant awardees will be contacted directly with more information in the coming weeks by
CDBG staff. If you have any questions, please call Ms. Jennifer Olson, Division Administrator of the
Community Development Division at the Montana Department of Commerce, at 406-841-2773 or by
email at DOCCDD@mt.gov.
Again, congratulations and good luck on the successful completion of your project.
Sincerely,
STEVE BULLOCK
Governor
