Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

CDBG makes funds available in four categories: Community Development (CD), Economic Development (ED), Community Services and Housing Activities, and Disaster Recovery Initiative (DRI).CDBG grants can be used broadly but are primarily used to provide a suitable living environment by expanding economic opportunities and providing decent housing to low-income households. Funds are available in California communities that do not receive CDBG funding directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). There is an annual competitive funding cycle for all except Economic Development, which has an over-the-counter Notice of Funding Availability process.
