Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is sponsored by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). The 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.
In Pennsylvania, funds can be used for infrastructure projects, community facilities (like senior, health, and social services centers), expansion of public services to low-income persons, job creation through small business loans, and affordable housing. All activities must benefit low- and moderate-income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, or meet urgent community development needs.
