CDBG application 2025

The Massachusetts Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides funding to municipalities for various community development projects, including housing assistance, economic development, public facilities, infrastructure, and public social services. The program aims to benefit low- and moderate-income persons, prevent or eliminate slum and blight, and address urgent community needs. Eligible projects must meet one of the three national objectives of the CDBG program. • Eligible projects include housing rehabilitation, housing development, economic development, public facilities, infrastructure, and public social services. • Applicants must demonstrate significant needs and show that the proposed project will have a noticeable impact on those needs. • Applications will be evaluated based on threshold requirements, project need, and project feasibility. • Bonus points will be awarded to CDF applicants that did not require a timely expenditure waiver.
