Details:
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.
Project Period
DBG requests must be limited to activities that can be implemented within 12 months or less.
Project Eligibility
Projects must be a CDBG-eligible activity, must be in conformance with the activities to be funded through this application process, and must meet at least one of the following CDBG national objectives:
- Primarily benefit low- or moderate-income (under 80% of the area median income) persons or households. This is the most commonly used qualifier. Documentation of the benefit to low/moderate income level persons is required of every project funded under this objective. Limited clientele activities, i.e., those which benefit a specific sector of the community, such as youth centers, health clinics, etc., must benefit a minimum of 51% low- and moderate-income persons. Activities, that benefit all residents within a defined geographic area (area benefit), can meet the low/moderate income benefit requirement if the area contains a minimum of 50.64% low- or moderate-income residents, as calculated by HUD.
- Aid in the elimination of slum or blight conditions. HUD has strict guidelines to define these conditions. A project rarely meets this national objective. Please contact ECD staff to determine if your project is eligible under this national objective.
- Meet an urgent community need. Generally, this objective is only used in the case of recent serious natural disasters (e.g., earthquake, flooding, etc.) and only when no other funding sources are available.
