Details:
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a federal grant program established by the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) of 1974 and administered by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The primary objective of this program is to develop viable urban communities by supporting activities that create or enhance the following three focus areas:
- Decent housing
- A suitable living environment; and
- Economic opportunities.
The use of CDBG funds must be directed principally for persons of low-and moderate-income. Regulations governing the CDBG program also require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the three national objectives:
- Benefit low-and moderate-income persons
- Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight
- Meet a community development need having a particular urgency.
Funding Information
For Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the City anticipates receiving approximately $365,000 in CDBG funds; however, until HUD officially notifies the City of its actual 2024-2025 CDBG allocation, the maximum amount that Mission Viejo will reserve for public service programs is $54,750.
Program Requirements
All CDBG-Funded activities must meet one of the three broad national objectives:
- Provide benefit to low- and moderate-income persons;
- Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or;
- Address community development needs having a particular urgency (i.e., declared disaster).
Benefit Low-and Moderate-Income Persons
Eligible CDBG activities range from public improvements to housing rehabilitation and social service programs. Overall, 70% of CDBG program beneficiaries must meet HUD’s definition of a low- and moderate-income person. A person/household is considered low- and moderate-income if their household income is less than or equal to 80% of the county median income. Current income limits, adjusted for household size, are as follows:
