The United States Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to states, cities, and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. Cicero is a formula grantee of this program, and to qualify for funding, the Town must develop a Five-Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan for each year of the Consolidated Plan. The Town is also required to assess and report on the progress of the planned activities through the Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report (CAPER).
The Town of Cicero’s CDBG program will provide a better quality of life for low/moderate-income residents through projects and service activities. The Town identified four (4) priorities during the development of the Consolidated Plan. Those priorities are:
- Expand the Supply of Safe, Decent and Affordable Housing
- Provide Safe Housing Free from Lead Hazards
- Improve Service to Non-Homeless Cicero Residents who are Low-to-Moderate Income and/or have Special Needs
- Strengthen the Community’s Living Environment by Making Improvements to Public Facilities.
