Evaluation

Prior to scoring, all applications must be complete and first meet the application threshold criteria outlined in the How to Apply section.

If the application is determined to be complete and meets the threshold criteria, it will enter the capacity assessment and then the ranking and rating process against other applications in that round. CDFA staff will rank all complete applications in accordance with the criteria contained in this section.

Additional details on evaluation and ranking criteria across all CDBG programs can be found in the full application and program guide beginning on page 34.
