Councilor Flynn Urges Neighbors to Apply for CPA Funds by August 30th
2 days ago
BOSTON – Boston City Councilor Ed Flynn is urging residents of Boston and District 2 neighbors to apply for the 2025 funding round of the Community Preservation Funds. Every year, the Community Preservation Act (CPA) uses revenue from a 1% property tax-based surcharge on residential and commercial property taxes to fund the initiatives of affordable housing, historic preservation, parks and open space. For the 2025 funding round, there is $38.2 million available for CPA projects.
Over the last few months, the CPA Team has been engaging the community across the City to inform and educate residents about the benefits of Community Preservation Funds. In June, Councilor Flynn, in partnership with CPA Staff held an information session to keep residents informed of this program and learn about a variety of projects that were funded over the past five years.
The deadline to submit an eligibility determination form for the FY 2025 round is Friday, August 30th at 5:00 pm. Interested applicants can apply online by visiting www.boston.gov/cpa or calling 617-635-0545 and filling out the Eligibility Determination Form. If eligible, individuals are invited to submit an application to the nine-member Community Preservation Committee for consideration.
“I cannot stress enough the positive impact that the Community Preservation Act has had in my District and the City,” said Council President Flynn. “In the last round alone, District 2 received $8.5 million in CPA funds for projects that improve our neighborhoods and better the quality of life of all residents. I have given my support to many worthwhile projects aimed at affordable housing, historic preservation, and open space and recreation. I encourage residents to fill out an eligibility determination form by August 30th and speak with the CPA team to see if their project would qualify.”
For more information, please contact Councilor Flynn’s office at 617-635-3203 and [email protected]. For a list of previously funded projects, please see below.
