The City has initiated a Request for Proposal process (herein “RFP”) which seeks proposals from Anderson homeowner-occupied households requesting COVID-19 related assistance in the form of a grant from the City.

Proof of homeownership and residency must be in the form of recorded deed of ownership and valid identification issued from the State of Indiana or the United States Federal Government. All persons listed as owners of the property must be income qualified. It is the express intention of this RFP to provide assistance primarily to low income households. Proposals should provide as much information as possible detailing the negative economic impacts that COVID-19 has had on your household, and how ARPA grant funds would be used to counter those impacts.
The City will be accepting online proposals in response to this solicitation until September 22, 2023, 3:00 pm EDT, or until such time as this RFP is suspended or terminated by the City. If you are not able to fill out the application online you may call Gretchen Parker for assistance at 765-648-6113. Proposals in response to this RFP will be accepted for submission starting on Date: August 7, 2023.
