Description
The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) administers the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) Public Facilities Program to help Mississippi municipalities and counties address public infrastructure needs. The program connects investment in local infrastructure with benefits for low- and moderate-income residents, using income criteria established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The program forms part of MDA’s community development resources for local governments demonstrating a genuine need for basic community services. CDBG applications are accepted once a year through a highly competitive process. MDA provides application resources through its Community Development Forms Library, while its Community Development Bureau offers technical assistance throughout the grant process.
