Community Development Block Grant Program
NOTICE OF PUBLIC COMMENT: Annual Action Plan for Program Year 51 [July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026] (PDF)
The Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is a federally financed assistance program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Under the so-called entitlement portion of the programs, cities with populations exceeding 50,000 are entitled to receive annual grants. HUD determines the amount of each entitlement grant by a statutory dual formula that uses several objective measures of community needs, including the extent of poverty, population, housing overcrowding and age of housing, as well as population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan areas.
