“Businesses with fewer than 50 full time employees are eligible for up to $25,000, based on the number of full or part-time employees on a first-come, first-served basis for those who qualify,” said Supervisor Chad A. Lupinacci. “We don’t want our Huntington business owners and job creators to miss out on this opportunity going into 2021.”

In September of 2020, the Town of Huntington was advised that it received additional funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to prepare for, respond to, and prevent the coronavirus. This funding, in the amount of $1,359,910, has been awarded through the Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) program, and is available to individuals and businesses that have been directly impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, and to those community agencies that provide direct assistance to the residents of Huntington.

The Huntington Community Development Agency oversees the application and disbursement process on behalf of the Town.

The deadline for all applications is January 15, 2021 at 4:00 PM.

More info and applications can be found at: huntingtonny.gov/cdbg-cv.

Applications may be submitted to the Huntington Community Development Agency, Huntington Town Hall, 100 Main Street, Room 309, Huntington NY 11743.
