For Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
The primary objective of the HUD CDBG Program is the development of viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities primarily for low and moderate income residents. The national objectives of the CDBG program were established to assist local communities with activities focused on:
- Eliminating slum and blight, preventing deterioration of property, providing needed neighborhood community facilities and supportive services;
- Preserving and improving the supply of affordable housing through improvement of low and moderate income housing;
- Acquisition, design, construction, and installation of needed public facilities, improvements, and accessibility measures; and
- Creation and retention of jobs for low and moderate income persons through the expansion of business opportunities and the provision of financial incentives to businesses.
Funds be used
Federal regulations require that CDBG funds be used for eligible activities that meet one of three national objectives:
- Benefit low and moderate income persons;
- Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and
- Meet a need having a particular urgency
Eligible Activities
- Acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of neighborhood facilities and facilities for persons with special needs (e.g. homeless shelters, group homes or halfway houses);
- Construction or rehabilitation of housing units for low and moderate income persons;
- Economic development activities that create full-time jobs for low and moderate income persons;
- Health care and substance abuse services;
- Transitional housing and supportive services for the homeless;
- Fair Housing counseling;
- Crime prevention activities;

- Removal of architectural barriers which restrict mobility of persons with disabilities; and

Examples of private non-profits include private social services agencies (such as those providing job training or counseling, or day care providers), community development corporations, faith based housing development groups and operators of homeless shelters.
