Details:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds are made available to the City of Missoula on an annual basis from the Federal Government through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Activities using these funds must meet community and national objectives approved by HUD.
The City’s Community Development funds support projects and programs that benefit low-to-moderate income people and create lasting community improvements.
The purpose of the CDBG Program is to benefit low- to moderate-income people by funding projects that revitalize neighborhoods, increase affordable housing, expand economic opportunities, and/or improve community facilities and services. Most people served with CDBG funds must earn 80% of the area median income (AMI) or less. All projects funded with CDBG must meet one of the three national objectives:
- Principally benefit low and very low income households;
- Reduce or prevent slum and blight; or,
- Meet an urgent need.
Funding Information
The City of Missoula expects to award approximately $550,000, in Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and $309,380 in Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) dollars.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any eligible for-profit or non-profit organization, business, or governmental agency may apply for Community Development funds. Applicants must comply with all federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
- Funds come with significant compliance and performance reporting requirements. Specific demographic data records and documentation requirements can extend for years beyond completion of a Community Development-funded activity depending upon scope and outcome of the project. Awardees will be subject to monitoring by the City as well as HUD for CDBG funding. As such, it is strongly encouraged that applicants understand the administrative commitment and subsequent requirements that funding mandates.
