Announcement shared from U.S. Small Business Administration

DHSEM is excited to announce that the SLCGP Award application window has officially been reopened to allow more eligible applicants to submit their proposals. While we previously communicated a 40 percent match requirement, we have updated our guidelines to make the award more accessible and flexible. As of December 3, we are asking applicants to plan for a 30 percent match. The state will continue to pursue opportunities to reduce the match further but cannot guarantee a lower amount at this time.
