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.
