Description
This program, administered by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA), offers Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to eligible small cities, large cities, and counties in Alabama. The funds support a range of community development projects—such as infrastructure improvements, housing rehabilitation, public facilities, and neighborhood revitalization—that principally benefit low- and moderate-income (LMI) residents or address slum/blight or urgent community needs. Applications are evaluated competitively based on community need, project impact, cost effectiveness, benefit to LMI persons, and other factors detailed in the program’s application materials.
