Since 1974, Euclid has been an Entitlement Community, where federal grant funding is received by the City directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funding allows the City to implement various projects and programs that benefit Low- to Moderate- Income households and individuals. These activities include housing programs, economic development activities, public improvements, and limited public services.

Federal appropriations for HUD funding, including CDBG are set by the United States Congress, and funding levels may change. Therefore, the City is projected to receive approximately $1,000,000.00 in PY 2025.

The City of Euclid is allowed to expend up to 15% of the annual allocation for Public Services, to be carried out by City departments or nonprofit organizations. Such activities include, but are not limited to, senior citizen programs, youth recreation programs, workforce development programs, public safety programs, education and literacy programs, fair housing and housing counseling programs, legal services, and services for people with disabilities.

Based on the projected funding for PY 2025, the City anticipates that approximately $150,000.00 to be made available for Public Services. 

The City of Euclid has developed an application for both City departments and nonprofit organizations to apply for Public Service activities.
