Below is a brief overview of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. CDBG is a federally funded grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that supports community-based projects in non-metropolitan areas. In Illinois, approximately $56 million is available across four key funding areas, including housing rehabilitation, public infrastructure improvements, community revitalization and economic development, and emergency assistance, helping local communities address critical needs and strengthen long-term growth.
