What is a Community Development Block Grant?
The CDBG program’s primary purpose is to develop and improve urban communities by providing adequate housing, creating a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, particularly for people of low and moderate-income.
CDBG funds must be used to meet one of the following national objectives: benefit low- and- moderate-income people, aid in preventing or eliminating slum or blight, or meet an urgent need.
CDBG applications are available on the City of Clarksville’s Neighborhood and Community Services website along with additional information. This includes important instruction on how to apply via ZoomGrants, 24-25 CDBG Application Workbook, Application Process Overview, and CDBG Federal Regulations.
