City Of Fontana

The City of Fontana, doing business as Fontana Senior Social Club, is a U.S. local government entity registered in SAM.gov since March 2009 and headquartered in Fontana, California. As an entitlement community with prior experience implementing federally-funded housing and community development programs, the City of Fontana receives federal grant awards primarily from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support affordable housing development, homelessness services, lead hazard reduction, senior services, and community development initiatives. The entity's federal grant portfolio reflects a comprehensive approach to addressing community needs through evidence-based programming that prioritizes low- and moderate-income residents, including vulnerable populations such as seniors and homeless individuals.

The City of Fontana has received substantial federal grant funding across multiple HUD programs and other federal agencies totaling millions of dollars since 2021. Under HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, the city has been awarded recurring formula grants through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program, the Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program to support housing rehabilitation, homebuyer assistance, rental housing acquisition and construction, tenant-based rental assistance, street outreach, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing assistance. The city also received substantial project grants from HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control, including a $4.4 million Lead Hazard Reduction Grant (awarded December 2023), a $1.5 million Lead Hazard Reduction Grant (awarded May 2025), and a $2 million Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program cooperative agreement to provide home modifications for low-income elderly residents to enable aging in place.
