CDBG & HOME Information | Lewiston, ME - Official Website City of Lewiston Revaluation Project Economic & Community Development Department About CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) The City of Lewiston receives federal funding through the U. S Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD).

Under the CPD Program, the City receives funding from two grant programs: Community Development Block Grant ( CDBG ) and the Home Investment Partnerships Program ( HOME ). Combined these grants provide funding of approximately $1. 1 million annually.

Every five years, the City is required to assess affordable housing market conditions and community development needs so as to make strategic decisions about how to best invest CPD funds. This process results in the drafting of the Consolidated Plan . Goals outlined in this plan help to direct spending for both CDBG and HOME programs and public agencies and organizations submit applications each year to request program funds.

Applications are reviewed by the Citizen Action Committee and budgets are approved by the City Council.

About the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) The Citizen Advisory Committee is one of the ways to ensure that our citizens are involved and have a voice in determining how each year's CDBG allocation is spent. Its role is to evaluate all requests for funding and then make a recommendation to the City Council on how the CDBG funds are to be spent.

Committee members are appointed by the mayor to two-year terms coinciding with the calendar year. This seven-person Committee includes one Lewiston City Councilor, one representative from the homeless community, a person representing the immigrant/refugee community, at least two residents from the City’s low/moderate income population in Census Tracts 201-204, and the remaining residents from the community at large.

The Committee is staffed by the Economic and Community Development Department.
