    Summary

    The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. HUD awards grants to entitlement community grantees to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development, and providing improved community facilities and services.


    CDBG funds may be used for activities which include, but are not limited to:

    • Acquisition of real property
    • Relocation and demolition
    • Rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures
    • 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

    Entitlement communities develop their own programs and funding priorities. However, grantees must give maximum feasible priority to activities which benefit low- and moderate-income persons. A grantee may also carry out activities which aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. Additionally, grantees may fund activities when the grantee certifies that the activities meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs.

    Entitlement cities are allocated funding each year. The amount of each entitlement grant is determined by statutory formula, which uses several objective measures of community need, including poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing, and growth lag. At least 70% of CDBG funds must be used for activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
