Application for Historic Preservation CLG grants to be released December 3
A grant application package for the Federal Fiscal Year 2022 Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) sub-grant program, administered by the Historic Preservation Division (HPD) of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs will be available on December 3.
The HPF grant program is structured to support local preservation efforts and to strengthen the Certified Local Government (CLG) program statewide. All grant funds are matched 60% federal/40% local and are awarded on a competitive basis. Applications are rated according to the eligibility and selection criteria.
Eligibility
In order to apply, your community must be a Certified Local Government. All CLGs applying for grant funding must be in good standing with HPD, including being up to date on all CLG evaluations. CLGs may apply for predevelopment, development, survey, planning, or education projects. If your community has not completed a historic resources survey or archaeological survey or updated an existing survey since 2007, the CLG is only eligible to apply for a survey and planning project. If you apply for more than one project (i.e. an archaeological survey AND a National Register district nomination), you must complete a separate application for each one.
Survey and planning activities include National Register nominations, preservation planning, design guidelines, and information/education projects such as brochures, DVDs, website development, heritage education materials, workshops/conferences, etc.
Site-specific predevelopment grant projects include historic structures reports, preservation plans, architectural drawings, and specifications.
Site-specific development grant projects for rehabilitation projects such as roof, plaster, or window repair or structural/foundation stabilization for buildings, structures, or monuments.
Application Submission Instructions
Applications must be submitted on or before February 1, 2022. Grant awards will be announced in May 2022. Projects may begin in June 2022 and must be completed by September 30, 2022.
