Dane County CDBG and HOMECDBG is authorized by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
CDBG is one of HUD's programs which provides eligible metropolitan cities and urban counties (called "entitlement communities") with annual direct grants that they can use to provide decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanded economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate income persons. Dane County became an entitlement community in 1999 and annually receives approximately $1 million in CDBG funds.
Dane County CDBG and HOMEHOME is authorized under Title II of the Crantson-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. HOME provides grant and loan funding to create affordable housing for low-income individuals. HOME activities undertaken must accomplish at least one of two goals for low-income individuals; 1) provide decent housing and/or 2) provide suitable living environments.
Dane County is required to set aside a minimum of 15% of its HOME funds for CHDOs.

The Office invests in community-based groups that forward the priorities to: Create decent, affordable housing Create suitable living environments Expand economic opportunities The 13-member Dane County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Commission provides oversight for the CDBG and HOME programs.
