Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federally funded program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  Established in 1974, CDBG is an important tool for helping local governments tackle serious challenges facing their communities.

The City of Des Plaines Community and Economic Development Department administers the program and works closely with HUD to ensure fluid implementation.  All program activities aim to benefit low and moderate-income persons, prevent or eliminate blight, and meet a need having a particular urgency.
