The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is an entitlement program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). CDBG funds are used primarily to benefit low and moderate income households or areas as defined by the U.S. Census. The complete regulations governing the CDBG program are found at the Code of Federal Regulations, 24 CFR 570, and are authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and the Home Investment Partnerships Act (the “HOME Act”).  Through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, CDBG-R was created as a second CDBG program as a one-time stimulus program. The City has also received $414,121 in CDBG-R funds. These funds will be utilized to provide energy-efficient rehabilitation to Pontiac homeowners.
