The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federally funded block grant program created by Congress in 1974. CDBG grants are awarded to local governments and non-profit sponsors to carry out community development activities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and opportunities to expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.

CDBG funds are allocated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to state and local governments on a yearly basis with the goal of developing activities directed toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development, and providing improved community facilities and services.

CDBG-funded projects must satisfy one of three national program objectives: 

Examples of Eligible activities: 

• Public Services: senior services, disabled and handicapped services, childcare services, health services, youth services, and fair housing.
• Public Improvements: streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, streetlights, sewers, storm drains, traffic signals, parks and recreation facilities, health facilities, and fire station improvements.
• Housing Services: home improvement programs for lower and moderate-income households.
• Senior Home Repair (SHR)
• Home Rehabilitation Program (HRP)
