The Community Development Block Grant program is a federal grant program that distributes U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development funding to communities with populations over 50,000. Funding must be spent on projects that benefit very low to moderate income populations; aid in the elimination of slum and blight conditions; and/or address urgent community development needs.
