CDBG – Supporting Community Safety, Housing and Wellness

CDBG - Supporting Community Safety, Housing and Wellness

September 16, 2024

A new fire engine and a homeless shelter are just two investments made possible with the Community Development Block Grant Program.

For fifty years, CDBG has benefited communities by providing funding for infrastructure, housing, healthcare, safety, and more. With funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, CDBG has helped communities such as the City of Marysville purchase modern fire safety equipment to protect their residents, and the County of San Benito provide shelter and wrap-around services for their most vulnerable.
