The Community Development Block Grant is a federally funded formula-based grant that is allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to eligible cities. The Community Development Block Grant provides funds to improve the quality of life of residents through the planning and development of municipal infrastructure and public amenities. This grant award allows the City to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed towards program administration, city infrastructure, demolition and revitalization of city neighborhoods, rehabilitation of existing housing, homelessness and homeless prevention, youth services, health services, economic development, and providing community facilities and services.
Eligibility for participation as an entitlement community is based on population data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and metropolitan area delineations published by the Federal Office of Management and Budget. HUD determines the amount of each entitlement grantee’s annual funding allocation by a statutory dual formula that uses several objective measures of community needs, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing, and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas.
All-City of Poughkeepsie public service nonprofit agencies are encouraged to submit an application to the Office of Social Development. All-City of Poughkeepsie public service nonprofit agencies are encouraged to submit an application to the Office of Social Development.

- Prevention or elimination of slums or blight
