The primary objectives of the CDBG program include the development of viable urban communities, including decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, primarily for persons of low and moderate income. In keeping with those objectives, the City has previously undertaken a variety of physical development activities along with public social services in support of those objectives. These activities have included such public improvements as buildings and streets, park and recreation facilities, and rehabilitation of owner-occupied dwellings citywide by means of loans and grants. Social services have included those related to youth services, counseling, employment, medical screening and treatment, and programs for the homeless.
Funding Information
Anticipated funding levels for the CDBG program have been difficult to predict. Over the past five program years, the City’s CDBG funding has ranged from as much as $818,689 in PY 2019 to as little as $709,223 in PY 2023 (current year).
