The City anticipates receiving approximately $400,000 in CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be allocated to eligible PY 2026-2027 activities. The CDBG Program is designed to support activities that (1) benefit low- and moderate-income persons, (2) aid in the prevention of slums or blight, and (3) meet an urgent community need.
