The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federal program in the United States that provides funding to local and state governments. Its purpose is to support community development initiatives, improve housing, and revitalize neighborhoods, particularly for low- and moderate-income residents. The funds can be used for various projects, such as building affordable housing, enhancing public facilities, and creating jobs. Each community can tailor the use of these grants to address its specific needs, aiming to foster economic growth and improve the quality of life for its residents.
