Description
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, administered by the Colorado Division of Housing, provides federal funding to local governments in non-entitlement areas to address affordable housing needs, community revitalization, and infrastructure improvements. The program aims to foster stronger, more resilient communities by supporting projects such as housing rehabilitation, property acquisition, elimination of blighted conditions, code enforcement, homeowner assistance, and infrastructure for new or existing housing. While the program is federally funded, it is managed at the state level to ensure resources reach smaller cities and counties that do not receive direct CDBG allocations from HUD.
