Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is sponsored by HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development). The CDBG program provides grants to eligible units of general municipal government for a wide range of activities that facilitate revitalization of local communities.
A percentage of CDBG money may be used by municipalities for public services, including fire, police and EMS, along with a host of other initiatives like daycare programs and public health centers. This has included using funds to build or renovate stations and to assist in purchasing equipment, as well as for fire prevention programs directed toward low and moderate-income households.
