Details:
The CDBG Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to Entitlement Communities as a means to support viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and opportunities to expand economic opportunities, principally for low-and moderate-income persons.
The CDBG Program has three national objectives:
- Provide a direct benefit(s) to low to moderate income households
- Prevent or eliminate slum or blight
- Address an urgent need or problem within the community.
Annually, the Cobb County CDBG Program Office requests proposals from local non-profit organizations and government entities to carry out eligible activities in the County.
Funding Priorities
The following barriers were identified in the 2024 Strategic Plan:
- Employment and Education
- Income Inequality
- Substance Abuse
- Domestic Violence and Unsafe Living Conditions
- Homelessness
- Housing Insecurity
- Mental Health Issues.
Grant Period
January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027.
Criteria
- Limited Clientele Activities: At least 51% of the beneficiaries of the proposed project activity must be low-to moderate income. In contrast to the area benefit category, it is not the low-to-moderate concentration of the service area of the activity that determines whether the activity will qualify or not, but rather the actual number of low-to-moderate income persons that benefit from the activity.
- Activities in this category provide benefits to a specific group of persons rather than everyone in an area. It may benefit persons without regard to their residence, or it may be an activity that provides a benefit to only particular persons within a specific area.
