The Community Development Block Grant

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federal program in the United States that provides funding to local governments for projects aimed at improving communities, particularly in low- and moderate-income areas. The funds can be used for various initiatives, such as building affordable housing, improving infrastructure, and enhancing public services. The goal is to foster economic development and enhance the quality of life for residents. Local governments have flexibility in how they use these funds, allowing them to address specific community needs effectively.
