Community Development Block Grant Program

What is CDBG?
 
Community Development Block Grant funds are provided to the city through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  Funds are granted by the city to organizations that provide housing and supportive services to families with low to moderate incomes. 

A minimum of 65% of CDBG funds are granted to agencies providing bricks and mortar projects; a maximum of 15% of funds are granted for public service projects; and a maximum of 20% of the funds are set aside for program administration. 

2007-2008 HUD Community Assessment

Goals for the CDBG Program are re-evaluated every five years by the Human Services Commission, Affordable Housing Commission, local agencies, and other citizens who participate in the City's Consolidated Plan process.  The current goals are to:

Create new housing and maintain existing housing opportunities for households with low income. 

Give funding priority to projects and activities that serve households earning 50% or less of the area median income.

The funds will be used to assist the citizens of Loveland.  Funds will not be used to serve those living outside of the City's Area of Community Influence.  A minimum of 70% of those served by the Human Services Grant Program will be of low income as per HUD guidelines.
