Additional information:
The Community Enhancement Program funding comes from a set percent of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenues. Assistance for entities impacted by COVID-19 is funded by Board of Supervisors allocated federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.
Grant funds shall not be used for any purposes prohibited by laws governing the use of public funds, including but not limited to, religious, political campaigning, or purely private purposes or activities.
Final award recommendations are made by individual Board of Supervisors district offices based on the availability of funds, program guidelines, and the submission of all required information and supporting documentation.
