Community Development Block Grant

Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) fund eligible economic development, municipal public improvements, housing development projects, and programs. CDBG projects are funded by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD).

The CDBG program is a federally funded initiative that supports community development projects designed to benefit low- and moderate-income individuals, eliminate slum and blight, and address urgent community needs. Eligible projects may include infrastructure improvements, housing rehabilitation, public facility upgrades, and economic development initiatives.
