CDBG Program

What is the CDBG Program?

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is federally funded and designed to support housing for low- to moderate-income households. The City maintains a five-year strategic housing plan that outlines the priorities for CDBG grant funding. Each year, the City re-evaluates the plan to reflect the needs of the community.

Housing Rehabilitation Program

Eligible homeowners with low or moderate income, who own and occupy their own homes, can borrow funds through the Owner-Occupant Rehab Program . This program helps them take care of home maintenance needs through low-interest loans having either a deferred or small monthly payment. These loans provide repairs to fire, life, and safety hazards in the home as well as conserving and improving older residential neighborhoods.

Rental Rehabilitation Program

Investor-owners who provide housing to low- and moderate-income households may borrow additional financial assistance to supply safe, sanitary housing to their tenants. Through the Investor-Owned Rehab Program, rental property owners can obtain this help to rehabilitate residential properties for their elderly, handicapped, and/or disabled tenants, as well as for low- or moderate-income families. These loans also help remove and prevent conditions conducive to blight in our neighborhoods and encourage the conservation of energy and other resources.
