City staff will review your pre application and contact you if additional information is needed.

Step 3: Complete the Full Application

If eligible, you will be invited to complete the official HAPPY Program application and upload supporting documents.

Applications are reviewed for program eligibility, funding availability, and affordability considerations. Approved applicants will receive an award determination prior to closing.
