Description
New York State’s Community Development Block Grant housing program is federally funded and administered by the Office of Community Renewal within Homes and Community Renewal. It supports local governments in providing decent, affordable housing and suitable living environments, principally for people with low and moderate incomes. Housing activities include home rehabilitation and infrastructure supporting existing housing, such as drinking water and sanitary sewer improvements.
Projects should reflect local government priorities and documented community needs, including poor housing conditions, infrastructure health and safety hazards, and gaps in services. The broader CDBG objectives include benefiting low- and moderate-income families, creating job opportunities, preventing or eliminating blight, and addressing serious and imminent threats to community health or welfare. Housing activity eligibility has changed between funding rounds, so applicants should consult the next round’s materials before developing a proposal.
