Eligible Activities
Quickfinder activity guides are available on the MSHDA CDBG webpage for each of the following CDBG fund uses, providing key information on implementation and requirements.
- Homeowner Rehabilitation: Home repairs and improvements to homes occupied by low and moderate-income homeowners to address health, safety and energy efficiency needs.
- Reconstruction: Infill of a previously developed vacant residential lot, which must have been the site of a demolition occurring after October 1, 2023. CDBG financing is for hard construction costs of a new housing unit that is comparable to the previous residential unit. Developed housing must be sold to a low or moderate-income homebuyer.
- Unoccupied Rental Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation of unoccupied rental units or the conversion of a commercial property into a mixed-use development with rental housing units, constructed and financed through CDBG. Eligible properties must be located in a downtown area or along a primary road, and improvements must be limited to residential activities. At least 51% of assisted units must be designated for and rented to low or moderate-income households.
- Infrastructure (Housing): Physical development activities that are essential for a proposed affordable housing project, directly support its development, or address safety needs specific to the project. These improvements must exclusively benefit the housing development and at least 51% of the units developed must be rented or sold to low- and moderate-income households. Eligible activities include water/sewer connections, sidewalks, driveways, development access roads, and parking areas to serve the housing project.
- Manufactured Housing: Grantee purchase of HUD approved manufactured housing units from a facility. Both the unit and the land must be owned by the grantee, zoned properly, and sold together to a low- and moderate-income homebuyer. CDBG assistance is limited to covering the cost of the manufactured housing unit only and does not include expenses for the land, land improvements, soft costs, and/or installation.
Eligibility Criteria
This grant funding is provided to nonentitlement units of general local government—including cities, towns, townships, villages, and counties—that do not receive direct CDBG allocations from HUD.
