The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a Federal HUD program that provides communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs. The CDBG entitlement program allocates annual grants to develop viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities for income eligible people.
The HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME) provides HUD grants that communities use – often in partnership with local nonprofit groups – to fund a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to income eligible people.
In order to be eligible for funding, every CDBG-funded activity must qualify as meeting one of the three national objectives of the program. Those three objectives are identified as:
- Benefiting Low- and Moderate- Income (LMI) Persons (at least 70% of the fund must be used in this category)
- Preventing or Eliminating Slums or Blight
- Meeting Urgent Needs
Funding Information
For Program Year 2022, the City anticipates available CDBG funding to be approximately $750,000 plus any program income and/or reallocation of previous unused grant funds. Actual award figures from the federal government should be available in March 2022. The 2022 Annual Action Plan will include projects to be undertaken during the program year beginning August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2023.
