Community Development Block Grant – Resources from NHCDFA Community Development Block Grant Program Overview & Objectives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) CDFA administers the State of New Hampshire’s annual federal allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds for eligible municipalities.
The primary objective of the program is the development of viable communities by improving economic opportunities and meeting community revitalization needs, particularly for persons of low and moderate income. CDFA directly awards Community Development Block Grant resources to New Hampshire’s cities, towns, and counties, which often sub-grant the money to a nonprofit agency or other entity conducting the work.
Funding for the Community Development Block Grant program is provided to New Hampshire through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Support affordable housing and housing rehabilitation efforts that benefit low- and moderate-income homeowners and tenants.
