Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)

Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) are federal funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to local and state governments. These grants support various community development activities, such as improving housing, infrastructure, and public services, especially in low- and moderate-income areas. The goal is to enhance living conditions, foster economic development, and strengthen communities. Local governments determine how to use the funds to best meet their community's needs, ensuring that resources are directed where they can have the most significant impact on residents’ quality of life.
