Subject: 2023-2024 Certified Local Government Grant
Dear Mr. Watson:
The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) must pass a minimum of ten percent of our yearly allocation of the federal Historic Preservation Fund to Certified Local Governments through our competitive grant program. It is my pleasure to inform you that through that process the OHP has selected the City of Riverside to receive a 2023-2024 Certified Local Government Grant in the amount of $40,000 to develop design guidelines for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) at historic properties within the City.
In August of 2023, you will receive a project agreement (contract) from OHP for your review and signature stipulating the project scope, budget, due dates for progress reports, and the deliverables. All expenses for work under this contract must be incurred within the grant period of October 1, 2023- September 30, 2024.
This grant and its attendant contract are only valid and enforceable if the United States Government makes sufficient funds available to the State for the fiscal year 2023-2024 for the purpose of this program.
We look forward to working with you to accomplish the goals of this worthwhile project. Should you have program questions, contact Shannon Pries, Supervisor of the Local Government & Environmental Compliance Unit at [email protected] . Fiscal questions should be directed to our Fiscal & Grants Manager, Daniel Arismendi, at [email protected] .
Sincerely,
Julianne Polanco
State Historic Preservation Officer
