Activity Fee Assistance

General Information

The City of Lathrop Activity Fee Assistance  is designed to assist qualifying Lathrop residents with registration fees for Parks, Recreation and Maintenance Services Department Programs.

The City of Lathrop receives funding for the Activity Fee Assistance Fund from various revenue sources including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers this program and monitors the City as to head of household, income, and ethnicity of program service recipients.  The information being requested is not meant for public dissemination but only for monitoring and auditing purposes. 

Approved residents will be eligible for a maximum of up to $250 per fiscal year (July 1-June 30) to be used as stated above.  Financial assistance will be granted to pay seventy-five percent (75%) of program fees as long as funds are available. Activity Fee Assistance funds are issued on a first come first serve basis.
