Community Development Block Grants

CDBG provides cities, referred to as “entitlement communities,” annual direct grants that are used to revitalize neighborhoods, expand affordable housing and economic opportunities, and improve community facilities and services, principally to benefit low and moderate income persons.
HOME Program
The Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program was created by the Title II Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (NAHA). HOME is the largest Federal block grant to State and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households.
