Description
The Technical Assistance Program, administered by the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development, provides support to Maine communities for the planning, development, and administration of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects. The program offers workshops, develops program materials, and implements the CDBG Administrator’s Certification Training Program. It also delivers technical assistance and outreach to municipalities, with an emphasis on non-entitlement areas that may lack expertise in community and economic development. Regional Providers play a key role in assisting local governments to identify needs and manage CDBG activities, ensuring that communities have the knowledge and skills required for successful project implementation.
