Description
New York State’s Community Development Block Grant housing program provides federal funding through Homes and Community Renewal, administered by the Office of Community Renewal (OCR). Housing activities focus on single-family housing rehabilitation and infrastructure supporting existing homes, including drinking water and wastewater improvements. The program helps local governments provide decent, affordable housing and suitable living environments, principally for low- and moderate-income residents.
Proposals should reflect local government priorities and document housing or infrastructure needs that cannot be sufficiently addressed through other resources. Relevant needs include deteriorating homes, code violations, and health and safety hazards. Infrastructure assistance can address private wells, septic systems, water and sewer connections, and manufactured housing park systems. Program design must address fair housing, participant income eligibility, construction oversight, and minimizing displacement.
