City Of Moreno Valley

City of Moreno Valley, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Moreno Valley, California, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient across housing, community development, transportation safety, and social services programs, with no federal contract prime or subcontract footprint. The city acts as a prime grant recipient under 76% of its recent awards and as a sub-recipient under 24%, primarily routing federal funding through California state departments and Riverside County as pass-through entities.

The city's grant portfolio is heavily concentrated in HUD community development and housing programs. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates by award count (56 awards), funding the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), Community Development Block Grants (CFDA not specified in source), the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (CFDA 14.231), and related initiatives. The Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (7 awards, $263 thousand combined potential value) funds roadway safety planning and implementation under the Safe Streets and Roads for All program (CFDA 20.939). Representative FHWA work includes a $280 thousand grant awarded March 4, 2026, to develop and implement the Moreno Valley Citywide Traffic Signal Safety Improvement Plan through December 31, 2028, and a $572 thousand award from September 15, 2024, supporting the MOVAL Supplementary Safety Improvement Plan Phase II project through August 31, 2026. The city has received over $1 million in prior Safe Streets and Roads for All awards for roadway safety planning and demonstration projects.

HUD housing and homelessness programs form the ongoing operational backbone. The city holds a $623,617 HOME Investment Partnerships Program formula grant (obligated September 25, 2025, completing September 30, 2034) supporting rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, homebuyer assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation of rental housing, and tenant-based rental assistance for low- and very low-income residents. It receives annual Emergency Solutions Grant allocations (CFDA 14.231) for street outreach, emergency shelter operations, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing, and Homeless Management Information System activities. The city also holds Community Development Block Grant entitlement allocations (CFDA 21.011) for broader community development activities. A $172 thousand ESG award from September 25, 2025, runs through September 24, 2027.

The city's secondary federal footprint includes child care and education support routed through California state pass-through entities. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (8 awards) funds child care development and enrichment activities through California Department of Education and Department of Social Services sub-awards. The city receives sub-awards for community learning centers providing academic enrichment to high-poverty and low-performing school students, child care assistance under the Child Care and Development Fund, and the Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds program. A Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration project grant (awarded September 30, 2023, completing March 31, 2025) supports expansion of the City of Moreno Valley Homeless to Work Program in partnership with the Salvation Army and the Moreno Valley Sheriff's Department, including a dedicated Community Behavioral Assessment Team.

The city also holds infrastructure and environmental grants. An Economic Development Administration project grant (awarded October 1, 2024, completing September 30, 2029) funds drainage system improvements including installation of concrete box culverts and pipes. A National Endowment for the Arts project grant (June 1, 2024) supported an arts education summer camp program. A sub-award from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (November 25, 2024) funds installation of full-capture devices in storm drain catch basins to trap roadway trash and prevent contamination of the Santa Ana River.

Activity is recent and scattered. The city received 2 awards in 2026, 6 in 2025, 13 in 2024, 14 in 2023, and 3 in 2022. Only one award is scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined potential value across all 95 awards (prime and sub) stands at $438 thousand, though combined obligated dollars reach $86.4 million—a figure reflecting the source's measurement of obligated funds against stated potential values and indicating substantial annual formula-grant flows. The city operates as a formula-grant-eligible metropolitan city and entitlement community, competing in non-competitive allocations rather than discretionary federal contract vehicles.
