MARYSVILLE — Nonprofit groups, developers and other organizations working on projects for low- and moderate-income people or neighborhood can now apply for grant money through the city for 2016 and 2017.

The Community Development Block Grants are a program that makes approximately $275,000 available per year for public facilities, infrastructure and services projects. The money comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is administered by the city.

Marysville is reallocating unused capital project funds from prior years and taking applications for projects that address the growing need for shelter and housing for the homeless.

Applications and information about CDBG funding can be found online at http://bit.ly/1WZpuxo.

All applications must be received no later than 4 p.m. Dec. 18.
