2025 - 2026 Project Proposals
Community members, organizations, and small business owners are invited to apply for funding to carry out projects that improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods on the Southside and that address at least one of the following priority areas: Housing Affordability and Quality, Communication and Connectivity, or Public and Green Spaces. All projects must be completed between July 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026. Project proposals are due Friday, March 21 to Anna Smith and Sophie Sarnitsky (asmith@caclv.org and ssarnitsky@caclv.org). Projects can include improvements to neighborhoods, programs, events, and more. For more information, please view the below documents.
To learn more about the proposal process, to discuss project ideas, or to find collaborative partners, we encourage you to attend a committee meeting related to your project area. All are welcome! Please reach out if you would like a Zoom link for any of these meetings.
We believe that affordable, quality housing is the foundation of a healthy, thriving community. We work to improve the quality of Bethlehem’s housing stock, advocate for affordable rental and homeownership opportunities, and empower residents to participate in decision-making processes regarding the future of their community.
We believe that a more equitable future for the Southside depends on all community members having a voice in the decisions that affect their lives and their neighborhoods. We work alongside our neighbors, small businesses, and community stakeholders to develop relationships, foster community pride, and advocate for a neighborhood-driven vision for our Southside’s future.
We believe that thriving neighborhoods include public infrastructure and accessible green spaces that bring residents and visitors together, as well as clean, safe, and attractive commercial districts. Our community development projects build on the assets and history of our community and are led by residents, business owners, and other stakeholders with deep roots in our communities.
our history
