Local government agencies, nonprofit groups and for-profits are eligible to apply for grant funding. Applications and additional information are online at www.cityofvancouver.us/affordablehousingfund.
An optional workshop for interested applicants is 10 a.m. March 12 at Vancouver City Hall, 415 W. Sixth St., in the Aspen Room. Applicants are due by April 1, and awards will be announced in June.
