Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)

Projects funded by the CDBG and ESG programs are selected from individual applications submitted by the municipalities, the County, and many non-profit groups. The selection process requires several steps before final approval of projects. Annual applications are generally due to the CDC in October, the CDC completes its recommendation in December, and the County Board takes final action in February. The funds are available to start new activities in April. Administration of each project is done through a Subgrantee Agreement with a sharing of responsibility between the Subgrantee and the CDC Staff.

CDBG and ESG grants work on a cluster system. The five need clusters focus on:

  • Addressing the continuum of Housing and Homeless needs
  • Supporting Families in Crisis
  • Meeting the needs of People with Disabilities
  • Meeting the needs of the Elderly
  • Supporting the efforts of Neighborhood Resource Centers

The CDC also has a Neighborhood Investment, Community-Wide Benefit, Accessibility Improvements, and Planning Projects category that addresses the needs of low-to moderate-income neighborhoods by providing funding for capital improvements.

Neighborhood Investment, Community-Wide Benefit, Accessibility Improvements, and Planning Projects -usually used by municipalities or organizations with capital improvement projects that benefit a defined low to moderate-income service area. Planning projects are the only non-capital projects in this category.

HOME / HDF

The Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program was put into place with the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 and serves to provide decent, affordable housing to low-income households through structured support of non-profit housing providers, local and state governments and private sector participants. Housing Development Fund (HDF, set-aside CDBG money), follows HOME program rules and is offered during the HOME funding round. Each year CDC accepts at least one round of applications due the beginning of December. If grant money is still available, a second round may be added the following July.

This round of 2010 HOME/HDF applications are due Tuesday, December 1, 2009, at 4:30 pm. No applications can be accepted after this deadline. Applications will be reviewed through the months of December and January and funding announcements will be made in early spring.

HUD Regulations, Policies, Guidelines, And Requirements

For each type of recipient, there is a set of Federal principles, called Uniform Administrative Requirements, which determine allowable costs for grants. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) publishes the allowable costs for all grant recipients in their Circulars. For your convenience, we have provided links to the appropriate documents here. These requirements differ for each recipient - requirements for government subgrantees are not the same as requirements for nonprofit subgrantees. Please be sure to work from the appropriate table - if you have any questions, please contact the CDC staff person assigned to your project.
