Community Development Block Grant Program
Overview
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is designed to provide decent, safe, and sanitary quality standards for housing, support the beautification of neighborhoods, provide needed public services, and improve economic opportunities for lower income persons within Hesperia.
By law, only 15% of the CDBG's total funding is allowed for the public service activities of nonprofit programs.
Objective
The National Objectives mandated by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) must still be accounted for by these programs when the grants are awarded. The following are a list of objectives:
- Elimination of slums or blight
- Benefit low-to-moderate-income individuals
- Address other community needs having a particular urgency
