PHOTOS: Approximately 25 organizations in Lakewood this evening received a check from the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). Ervin Oross, the director of the Department of Community Development, presented Chaveirim, Tomchei Shabbos and multiple other organizations with checks of thousands of dollars each, to assist them with the available funds.
The liaison this year to the federally funded program, was Deputy Mayor Steven Langert.
A total of $116,000 was distributed at the meeting. TLS. Photo credits: Lakewood Shopper.
Can TLS provide a complete list of every group that recd money and how much per group? That would be helpful.
Wondering minds want to see a list of the organizations and the amount each got. $116,000 is a lot of money.
$116,000 is a lot of money. I would like TLS to list the organizations and the amount they received.
does anyone know who is on the CDBG committee? i think the whole klal owes them a huge thank you!
Its heartwarming to see that township really cares and supports its not-for-profit organizations.
How does it work? Who decides how much each organization gets?

The process is transparent and open to all organizations. There is an application form and then it goes to the CDBG selection committee.
There are two people in town that are in charge of distributing this money. It is not a fair process. Unfortnatly there are many organizations with huge deficits that don’t get any of this money.
Where can u get application ?
