The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is a Federal entitlement program whose primary objective is the development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic oppotunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. The needs of Nassau County and its local communities are generally described in Nassau County's 5 Year Consolidated Plan.
CDBG funds and program income can be used for a wide range of activities related to housing, economic development, commercial revitalization, public services, infrastructure, and public facilities. An estimated 90% of CDBG funds are used annually to benefit extremely low, low, and moderate income persons.
