Program Overview
The
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is an entitlement program
administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The
program provides funding to support affordable housing and community
development needs throughout Lakewood. The grant amount is based on
population size and the number of low-income persons living in the
community.
CDBG funds are used for a wide range of
community development activities including neighborhood revitalization,
economic development and improved community facilities and services HUD
requires. Any project receiving CDBG funding is required from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to meet at least one of
three national objectives:
- Benefit low- and moderate-income
persons
- Aid in the prevention or elimination of slum or blight
- Meet urgent community development needs
The Planning
Department is responsible for administering the CDBG program. Lakewood’s
CDBG program year runs from June 1 - May 31. Lakewood receives
approximately $900,000 in CDBG funds annually. The majority of the CDBG funds
are used to address identified community needs through projects managed by
various city departments.
