Vision and Goals of Arlington Heights’ CDBG Program
Arlington Heights’ CDBG program will provide a better quality of life for low/moderate-income residents through “bricks and mortar” projects and service activities. The Village’s goals to achieve this vision:
- Make housing affordable, accessible and sustainable
- Improve public infrastructure
- Improve facilities
- Support economic development
- Provide financial assistance for programs and services
- Conduct planning and administration activities
Project Objectives
- Creating a Suitable Living Environment
- This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by low/moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their living environment.
- Providing Decent Housing
- This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable Living Environments.
- Creating Economic Opportunities
- This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.
Grant Period
October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024
