    Summary

    The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides flexible funding to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and improved community facilities/services. Beginning in 1974, the CDBG program is one of the longest continuously run programs at HUD.  All CDBG-funded activities must meet one of the following national objectives: (1) Benefit low- and moderate-income persons; (2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or (3) Meet certain community development needs having a particular urgency.

    In New York, CDBG funds may be utilized to address construction or renovation of various infrastructure projects such as water, wastewater and solid waste facilities, streets, and flood control projects; construction or improvements of a range of community facilities such as senior, health and social services centers; expansion of public services to serve low-income persons; creation of new jobs through small business loans or infrastructure improvements; and various affordable housing projects including home reconstruction, rehabilitation or repair programs.

    Funding is divided into the following program categories:
    • Community Development - Funding should address and resolve specific community development needs within the areas of (1) Housing, (2) Public Infrastructure, or (3) Public Facilities.
    • Economic Development/Small Business Assistance - Funding should support business creation, expansion or retention.
    The Office of Community Renewal will also entertain inquiries for applications related to Imminent Threat, and Technical Assistance and Capacity Building. Applicants should first contact the Office at (518) 474-2057 to determine eligibility and potential application requirements.
