The City of St. Helena wishes to be proactive in the creation of economic development opportunities for the community. Each year, the City is eligible to apply for Over-the Counter (OTC) funding from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), for economic development activities in the community. In addition, the City may periodically provide economic development assistance with CDBG Business Assistance Loan Program funding, Microenterprise Financial Assistance funding, Program Income
funds or from other CDBG funding.
Applications for CDBG business loan funds require that the City conducts underwriting and other analyses of participating private businesses to help ensure that funds are supporting viable business that can meet CDBG job creation or retention requirements. Such underwriting and analyses require specialized knowledge. Upon funding, specific Public Benefit requirements must be met, documented, and monitored. The City desires to enter into an agreement with a qualified individual or firm to provide such services on an as needed basis for a term of up to five years.
