Description
The New York State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing Activities program provides federal funding through Homes and Community Renewal, administered by the Office of Community Renewal (OCR). It supports eligible local governments addressing documented housing and infrastructure needs, principally for low- and moderate-income residents. The housing round focuses on single-family housing rehabilitation and infrastructure serving existing homes, including residential water and wastewater improvements.
Rehabilitation can address essential repairs, code violations, and health and safety hazards. Infrastructure projects can improve conditions across residential areas. Applicants must explain the need for public investment, why CDBG assistance is necessary, and efforts to obtain other resources. The program advances decent, affordable housing and suitable living environments within CDBG’s broader objectives of benefiting low- and moderate-income people, preventing or eliminating blight, and addressing urgent threats to community health or welfare.
