Update: Additional CDBG Planning Application Opportunity
There are now two opportunities to apply for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Planning grants. Application deadlines are September 27, 2019 and November 5, 2019.
The 2019 CDBG Planning Grant Application Guidelines, Grant Administration, and Application can be accessed on our website.
The CDBG program is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program designed to help communities provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities. The State of Montana receives an annual allocation of federal funds from HUD for CDBG grants and program administration through the Montana Department of Commerce. CDBG Planning grant funds are set aside to support long-term, sustainability planning for housing, public infrastructure, community facilities, and economic development.
Priority will be given to planning projects that enhance the unique and resilient characteristics of all communities by:
- Investing in healthy, safe, walkable downtowns and neighborhoods – rural, urban, and suburban;
- Encourages development and community revitalization that utilizes existing infrastructure and community services; and
- Aligns with the community’s long-range vision and goals.
If you have questions regarding the application process or guidelines, please contact CDD staff at 406.841.2770 or by email at DOCCDD@mt.gov.
