SAN DIEGO Mayor Todd Gloria released the Citys Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 citywide grants report, showing that the City was awarded a total of 59 grant awards with a combined total value of $229.46 million a 62% increase over FY 2021.

The federal, state, regional and private grants fund a wide variety of City priorities and activities such as projects to enhance water reliability, economic development, emergency response preparedness, homeless services, road and bridge repair, and public safety.

It's been a key priority of mine to ensure we're getting our fair share of resources from all levels of government and this report shows our success in doing just that," Mayor Todd Gloria said. We can all be proud of the progress weve made on grants that help the City address key priorities such as homelessness and repairing our aging infrastructure. We will continue to pursue all available funding to invest in creating a City that truly serves all San Diegans.

Since the inaugural grant report in 2019, the City has seen continued success in securing grant funding to support and enhance essential City services and capital projects. For the fourth consecutive year, the total value of citywide grant applications submitted, and awards received, has increased year-over-year, with FY 2022 showing the largest one-year increase to date.

The growing success of our grant-writing efforts has allowed the City to supplement its budget and provide much-needed additional funding for key programs and services, said Jay Goldstone, the Citys Chief Operations Officer. Im proud of the progress we continue to make in applying for and securing grants to support our operations and critical services.

In May of 2019, the City reformed its internal policies to strengthen its grants processes and reporting to improve the transparency and performance of securing grant funding. The citywide grants management function was consolidated under the Grants Division of the Department of Government Affairs within the Mayors Office.
