CDBG is a flexible program that provides communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs. Beginning in 1974, the CDBG program is one of the longest-running programs at HUD. The CDBG entitlement program allocates annual grants to larger cities and urban counties to develop viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, primarily for low- and moderate-income individuals.
CDBG funding has been used by the County, its cooperating cities, and other subrecipients for a wide variety of community, economic, and social development activities. Activities include public facilities such as fire stations, parks, community centers, senior centers, homeless shelters, health clinics, water and sewer improvements, and street and sidewalk improvements. CDBG also provides public service activities such as childcare, health care, after school, programs, senior programs, food and clothing distribution, job training, recreation, and many more.
All activities funded with the County’ s CDBG funds must:
- Serve persons or communities within the County’s Urban County areas;
- Eligible activity under CDBG regulations; and
- Meet a National Objective of the CDBG program.
Funding Information
Typical Grant awards for CDBG- funded activities range from $10,000 for public service activities to 100, 000 or more for public facilities, acquisition, or other eligible activities.
