The Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is to provide resources to help cities counter the growing problems of neighborhood blight, economic decline, and the shortfall of social services to low and moderate income persons, the homeless, and persons with special needs.
The CDBG program is funded by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Through this program, HUD provides a formula entitlement grant to the City to fund projects which aid in the development of viable urban communities, and which meet one of two broad national objectives. These objectives are:
- To benefit low and moderate-income persons; or
- To aid in the prevention and elimination of slums and blighted areas.
