What is a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)?
The Community Development Block Grant is a federally funded grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), aimed to assist low to moderate-income communities in community development projects. Every year, each city with more than 50,000 people and each county with a population with more than 200,000 automatically receive this funding from the federal government. CDBG dollars can be used to fund community development projects such as:

- Public Facilities: Day care centers, recreational facilities, parks/playgrounds or health centers.
- Public Improvements: Street and sidewalk repairs/improvements, graffiti removal.
- Public Services: Employment services, crime prevention, childcare, health services, fair housing counseling or recreational services.
- Housing Activities: Housing rehabilitation, lead abatement, housing discrimination services, and emergency shelter services.
- Economic Development: small business loans/grants, job training, construction and rehabilitation of commercial buildings.
