The City of El Cajon and El Cajon Redevelopment
Agency administer a variety of federal, state and

based on the opportunities and constraints of each
project or program. The following is a summary of
the major sources of funding that are used to carry
out housing and community development activities
within El Cajon.

The anticipated activities of both of these programs
are first compiled in a One Year Action Plan for
the upcoming fiscal year (July - June). After the
completion of the fiscal year, a Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is compiled.
Both reports are subject to public review prior
to submittal to the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban
Development.
NOTE: The RFPs are issued only to entities (non-profit
or for-profit), not to individuals. The City maintains
interest lists of non-profit agencies, one for community
development activities and one for housing projects/activities.
