The CDBG program provides federal funding to small cities and counties to improve infrastructure, support community facilities such as senior centers and community centers, and strengthen local economies in ways that primarily benefit low-to-moderate income persons while addressing local health and safety concerns.
Grants are available in several categories and can be utilized for a wide range of community development initiatives.
