Donor Name: County of Northampton

Type of Grant: Grant

Grant Duration: 1 Year
Details:
The federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that allows the County of Northampton Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) to assist in the development of viable communities, by funding activities that assist people with low incomes in meeting their needs for housing or services. One objective of any DCED funded programs is in the knowledge that low income people are indeed benefiting from the investment of CDBG resources.
Federal regulations require that all projects meet one of three national objectives:
- Benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons;
- Aid in the elimination of slums and blight; or
- Meet community needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose an immediate threat to public health or welfare.
At least 70% of Northampton County’s CDBG funds must be used to address the first national objective, benefit of LMI persons; therefore, most successful applications will meet this objective. The third objective, urgent need, is used rarely and may be used only in consultation with NC DCED.
Grant Period
The effective dates for all projects are October 1, 2025 – September 30, 2026.
