Description
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), provides grants and technical assistance to eligible Pennsylvania municipalities for a broad range of community development activities. The program aims to revitalize and improve local communities by funding projects such as housing rehabilitation, infrastructure improvements, enhancement of community facilities, public services, and planning initiatives. The CDBG program is structured with both an entitlement component (annual formula-based funding to designated municipalities) and a competitive component (project-based funding for eligible local governments, especially those not receiving direct federal CDBG funds).
