The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program that provides funds annually to jurisdictions designated as “entitlement communities.” Funds are allocated according to a formula based on population and the economic characteristics of the community, and can be used for community development and affordable housing activities that benefit low- and low-moderate income households and persons with special needs.
The CDBG program in Bristol is managed by Economic & Community Development (ECD) staff, and decisions about the award of funds are made by the CDBG Policy Committee of the ECD Board, in accordance with local policies and HUD regulations.
This application is to be used to seek funding for Public Service Projects which address the goals set in the City’s 5-year Comprehensive Plan:
- Support access to decent, safe, and affordable housing for Bristol residents.
- Support public service programs that advance community needs and focus on youth, the elderly, and special needs populations.
- Support infrastructure and facility improvements, blight reduction, and community revitalization activities, especially in the Opportunity Zone and low/mod income areas of the City.
- Support economic development initiatives that include job training, workforce development, and ESL/GED programs.
