RIRE ALLOCATIONS ANNOUNCED 

RIRE Allocation Rollout and Grant Performance Period – July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2028

When a RIRE recipient receives an allocation letter, applicants must contact their Grant Administration Project Officer and complete a brief one-on-one RIRE Guide Administrative Workshop before submitting a complete application package to the Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS).  After completing the Administrative Workshop, the grantee submits an authorizing resolution to accept RIRE funds and approves the filing of all applications associated with the grant contract.  A grantee then puts forward a complete project application(s) for their allocation amount.  This allows OGALS to execute a contract and the grantee to submit reimbursement payment requests for their approved projects.
