The City of Gilroy this week announced that it has received about $458,921 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development—funds that in turn are awarded to local nonprofits and community organizations. The funds are from the 2025-26 Community Development Block Grant program. Also receiving CDBG funds are the City of Gilroy Public Works ($176,190 for sidewalk and curb ramps); Rebuilding Together Silicon Valley ($149,693); and City of Gilroy Program Administration ($76,016). The city helps to establish priorities for CDBG funding with a five-year “consolidated plan” that identifies community development needs in Gilroy, city staff said. The CDBG program is authorized under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
