Welcome to Cumberland County ME Cumberland County's Community Development Office seeks to provide decent affordable housing, economic opportunities, and suitable living environments for all residents of Cumberland County.
The Community Development Office works toward achieving these goals through administration of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and the HOME Investment Partnership Program. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides federal funding to locally-directed community development initiatives.
Communities can plan and implement critical community development, housing, and social service programs and projects. Nationally, approximately $2-4 billion has been distributed to cities, towns, and counties each year. The Cumberland County HOME Consortium application is released each spring.
These funds are for the construction of affordable housing development in Cumberland County. For more information contact the City of Portland. CDBG Funds in Cumberland County Beginning in 2007 Cumberland County became a direct recipient of CDBG program funds, the first county in New England to participate directly in the CDBG program.
Currently 25 cities and towns in Cumberland County participate in the program. The City of South Portland and the Town of Bridgton receive a set-aside of program funds and maintain operational and administrative independence for their own community development program activities, while the remaining 23 cities and towns compete for grants for local projects and collaborate on region-wide activities.

On September 16, 2026, the First Circuit granted HUD an emergency stay of the order that had erased the FY2026 Continuum of Care competition. HUD reopened e-snaps on September 18 with a September 30, 8:00 PM ET deadline, one technical correction shortening applicant notification from 15 days to 7, and a waiver letting private nonprofits administer rental assistance. Here is what the stay does and does not decide, why your award may still be provisional, and the exact sequence to run in the days you have left.
Read articleFive weeks after a federal judge vacated the FY2026 Continuum of Care NOFO in its entirety, HUD published a Notice of Research Justifying Additional Incentives for Certain Activities To Reduce Homelessness. It is not a NOFO and not a proposed rule — it is the administrative record HUD needs to reissue the same policy and survive the next lawsuit. Here is what the four named activities tell you about the revised competition, why the October 13 comment deadline is now the real leverage point, and what CoC leads should be building right now.
Read articleThe September 1, 2026 revision to the Moving to Work Expansion Operations Notice (FR-5994-N-07) took effect on publication. It removes the 10 percent HAP-budget ceiling on Local Non-Traditional Activities, raises work-requirement and imputed-income safe harbors to 40 hours a week, cuts the minimum term-limited assistance period to two years, and strikes disparate impact from the impact-analysis requirement. Congress, meanwhile, just banned the next MTW cohort from doing most of it.
