COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is an entitlement program that is administered through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Communities with populations greater than 50,000 are entitlement communities and automatically receive a grant. The grant amount is based on population size and the number of low- to moderate-income persons in the community. The City of Cheyenne has been receiving the CDBG entitlement grant since 1975.
