Description
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides financial support and technical assistance to eligible Pennsylvania municipalities for a broad range of community development activities. The program aims to address local needs in areas such as housing rehabilitation, public services, community facilities, infrastructure improvement, and planning. Funding is available through two main components: an entitlement program for designated municipalities and a competitive program for smaller or non-entitlement municipalities. The program is designed to benefit low- and moderate-income residents and revitalize communities across the Commonwealth.
