Details:
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is a federally funded program established to provide states, cities, and counties the financial resources to address a range of community development needs. CDBG supports the development of urban communities by supporting projects and activities that create or provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines low- and moderate-income persons as persons with an annual household income equal to or less than 80% of the county’s median income.
The primary objective of the CDBG program, which is administered by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is to develop viable communities by:
- Providing decent housing
- Providing a suitable environment, or
- Expanding economic opportunities
- All CDBG-funded activities must primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
For Fiscal Year 2023-2024, the City anticipates receiving approximately $228,000 in CDBG funds; however, HUD has not officially notified the City about its actual FY 2023-2024 CDBG allocation; therefore, for planning purposes, the maximum amount that Aliso Viejo will allocate for all public service programs is $34,200 – this funding estimates are subject to change.
Eligible activities must show evidence of benefit to Aliso Viejo residents. Reliable accounting of the number of low- and moderate-income Aliso Viejo residents directly assisted with grant funding must be provided. All program beneficiaries must provide evidence that Aliso Viejo is (or was) their last permanent place of residence for a minimum of three months.
Eligible service programs must meet at least one of three broad national objectives for the CDBG program:
Benefit low- and moderate-income persons, Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or
Meet a community development need having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet such needs.
Eligible service providers must be tax-exempt California nonprofit corporations before the application deadline. Proof of nonprofit status must be provided at the time of application. Additionally, applicants must be in good standing with the State of California and the IRS.
