Details:
The program provides funding for eligible projects that improve access to safe drinking water, upgrade wastewater systems, and enhance stormwater management to reduce flooding and contamination risks. By supporting these essential improvements, the program helps communities meet regulatory standards, promote resilience, and ensure long-term sustainability for residents—particularly in areas serving lowand moderate-income populations.
National Objectives
Activities funded under the CDBG Water, Sewer, and Stormwater Program must meet HUD’s Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) Area Benefit (LMA) national objective, as outlined: To qualify, projects must serve a delineated service area—such as a water district, sewer service region, or stormwater management zone—and at least 51% of the residents in that area must be LMI. This ensures that essential infrastructure improvements directly benefit communities with the greatest financial need, supporting both environmental equity and public health priorities.
