Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) | Executive Office of Housing Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) The State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is intended to develop viable communities by providing decent housing, expanding economic opportunities and creating suitable living environments - primarily for low/moderate income persons (those earning at or below 80% of Area Median Income.
Each year the State of Rhode Island receives a formula allocation of CDBG funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be distributed to eligible Rhode Island communities. The CDBG program is governed by regulations of 24 CFR Part 570 . Under these guidelines, the State manages the program for those 33 Rhode Island municipalities which do not receive an allocation directly from HUD.
The Cities of Cranston, East Providence, Pawtucket, Providence, Warwick and Woonsocket are "Entitlements" and operate their own programs independent of the State effort. By regulation, the State may only distribute funds to units of general local government. These communities may, however, distribute funds to non-profit and other entities to undertake eligible activities.
Organizations interested in applying for CDBG funds should contact municipal CDBG Administrators or planning departments to learn about local priorities and application procedures. Funds received (approx. $4-$5 Million annually) are distributed using a competitive application process.
Communities submit applications containing a number of activities which are reviewed by a funding committee in accordance with program regulations/policies. This committee drafts recommendations to the Governor who typically announces awards July-September of each year. Awards are activity specific.
While the program supports a myriad of activities including housing, economic development, facilities/improvements, services and planning - the program's priorities are housing, economic development and neighborhood revitalization. Revitalization is a targeting of resources on a designated, distressed, predominately low- and moderate- income neighborhood.
All activities must meet a national objective, the primary of which is predominate benefit to low- and moderate- income persons.
