Description
The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) administers this program to provide Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to eligible non-entitlement cities and counties across Alabama. The initiative aims to improve local infrastructure, housing, public facilities, and neighborhood environments, with a primary focus on benefiting low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents or addressing slum, blight, or urgent community needs. Projects are awarded competitively, with proposals evaluated on community need, anticipated impact, cost effectiveness, and benefit to LMI populations, following detailed state and federal criteria.
