I personally submitted one of my past projects, https://www.quod.us https://www.quod.us - I stopped working on it, but with a grant I would put some more time in.
It's already built and live (although it didn't take very long to make). It's just a simple platform for people to report misinformation encountered online, and the idea is to make the database open to developers who want to make tools to address the problem of misinformation.
I requested 85k from them. I'm not getting my hopes up, however it seems like a good fit for my project.

I actually don't like the fact that it's a controversial site by nature because I generally try to avoid controversial stuff. If the site ever took off I'd have to figure out how to do moderation/employ fact checkers, etc. I stopped working on it for many reasons including that one, but I think there's some potential for the idea. It's pretty similar to what Elon Musk was suggesting (pravduh or whatever). I think he stopped working on his too actually, but I haven't been following it. BTW I just looked - here's some data http://livingwage.mit.edu/metros/42660 http://livingwage.mit.edu/metros/42660 and you're right, the housing cost is roughly half I'm not saying I endorse that data though.
