• Prevent health risks and diseases
• Promote financial self-sufficiency At 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012, staff will be on hand to explain the County’s RFP process. The information session is in Room 267 of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, 600 East Fourth Street. The grant award funding period is for Fiscal Year 2013, from July 2012 to June 2013. Priority consideration will be given to services with proven success strategies. On Feb. 1, the RFP documents will be available online at www.MecklenburgCountyNC.gov and individuals with questions can email grants@MecklenburgCountyNC.gov for assistance.
