The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides funds from the federal government to local governments to support community development projects. These projects include improving infrastructure, affordable housing, job creation, and public services targeting low- and moderate-income residents. The goal is to enhance communities' overall quality of life by addressing local needs with flexible, targeted funding. Local governments decide how to use the grants based on community priorities, ensuring resources are used effectively to promote neighborhood revitalization and economic growth.
