Community One Stop accepting applications May 5-June 4

Fiscal 2026 funding applications through the state’s Community One Stop for Growth portal must be filed between May 5 and June 4.

Community One Stop offers a streamlined process for communities, organizations, and developers to access a range of economic development grants and technical assistance across multiple agencies. One Stop grant programs are administered by the Executive Office of Economic Development, the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, and the quasi-public MassDevelopment agency.

Programs in the One Stop offer direct funding and support to housing and economic development projects related to placemaking, planning and zoning, site preparation, building construction, and infrastructure.

Grant programs accessible through Community One Stop include the following:
• MassWorks Infrastructure Program
• Massachusetts Downtown Initiative
• Rural Development Fund
• Housing Choice Grant Program
• Community Planning Grant Program
• HousingWorks Infrastructure Program
• Underutilized Properties Program
• Site Readiness Program
• Brownfields Redevelopment Fund
• Real Estate Services Technical Assistance

For fiscal 2026, Community One Stop has added the following two existing state economic development programs to the portal:
• Vacant Storefront Program
• Transformative Development Initiative Equity Investment Program

The EOED’s Urban Agenda Program will not be offered through Community One Stop this year, but will be offered through a new online portal opening this spring to allow for greater flexibility and benefits for prospective grantees.

The Collaborative Workspaces Program will be paused for the fiscal 2026 One Stop application round; applicants are encouraged to apply to the Underutilized Properties Program instead, when applicable.

Fiscal 2026 One Stop grant awards will be announced in the fall.
