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.
