The Community Development Block Grant Program

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is a federal initiative that provides funds to local governments to support community development projects. Its goals are to improve housing, revitalize neighborhoods, create jobs, and enhance public facilities for low- and moderate-income residents. Localities use these grants for various purposes, such as building affordable housing, improving infrastructure, and providing social services. CDBG aims to foster sustainable economic growth and ensure that communities can thrive while helping those in need.
