The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is federally funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This program provides eligible metropolitan cities and urban counties with annual grants to be used for neighborhood revitalization, affordable housing, to expand economic opportunities, and/or improve community facilities and services. All projects and programs must principally benefit low-and moderate-income persons.

The priorities for CDBG are determined by City Council, thus allowing local government to respond to needs within their community. Current priorities for the City of Vancouver’s CDBG Program include: revitalizing eligible neighborhoods, providing services to low-to-moderate persons, and upgrading public facilities to provide Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliance and providing affordable housing to low/mod citizens. The city also encourages projects and programs assisted by other funding sources to help leverage the CDBG allocation.The City of Vancouver receives approximately 1.3 million annually to disperse among applications. Funds are awarded yearly on a competitive basis to programs or projects that are selected and approved by City Council.
