CBDG Objectives and Eligible Activities
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federal grant for housing and community development projects that benefit low-and moderate-income persons. The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is the authorized representative regarding oversight and management of the CDBG program. DHCD gives eligible local jurisdictions power to distribute federal funds to non-profit and public agencies that support housing and public service programs through an annual competitive program. A primary objective of CDBG is to develop viable communities by providing low-to moderate-income families with decent, affordable housing and to expand local economic opportunities.
CDBG funds may be used for activities that include, but are not limited to:
- Acquisition of real property
- Relocation and demolition
- Rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structure
- Construction of public facilities and improvements, such as water and sewer facilities, streets, neighborhood centers, and the conversion of school buildings for eligible purposes
- Public services, within certain limits
- Activities relating to energy conservation and renewable energy resources
- Provision of assistance to profit-motivated businesses to carry out economic development and job creation/retention activities
Each activity must meet one of the following national objectives for the program: benefit low- and moderate-income persons, prevent or eliminate slums or blight, or address community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community for which other funding is not available. Generally, the following types of activities are ineligible:
- Acquisition, construction, or reconstruction of buildings for the general conduct of government
- Political activities
- Certain income payments
- Construction of new housing (with some exceptions)
Additional Information
Application eligibility to specific programs may vary. Community Development applications are accepted once a year through a competitive process. Special Project Applications can be submitted any time of year after written approval has been received from DHCD.
More information, to include CDBG program guidelines, may be found on the DHCD website.
Talbot County applicants may also consider applying through CDBG eligible municipalities to include the Towns of Easton, Oxford, St. Michaels, Trappe or Queen Anne.
