Qualifying community housing projects may include acquisition, creation, preservation and certain rehabilitation or support. Housing for veterans or people experiencing homelessness may qualify if it meets CPA rules. General shelter operations, meals and counseling are not automatically eligible.
Historic preservationHistoric buildings and resources⌄
Eligible historic resources may qualify for acquisition, preservation, rehabilitation or restoration, subject to statutory requirements and local review.
Parks & open spacePlaygrounds, recreation land and conservation⌄
Qualifying open-space and recreation-land projects may be eligible for CPA funding. Eligibility depends on the type of project; not every playground improvement qualifies.
Arts & community eventsMusic, cultural programs and school activities⌄
Look for Norwood Cultural Council and Music Drives Us opportunities in Find Grants. Ordinary arts events are not a standalone CPA funding purpose.
