Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

The Community Development Department administers the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  Grants are offered on an annual basis and awarded for eligible activities that meet one of the three national objectives for the CDBG program:

  1. Benefit to low- and very low-income Skokie residents

  2. Elimination of slums and blight

  3. Emergency needs

HUD provides block grants to qualified local communities annually under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act. These funds are used for infrastructure improvement projects, housing programs, social services, and other activities that are consistent with local planning goals and CDBG regulations. Eligible projects must meet national objectives by principally benefiting the lower- and moderate- income people of the community or aiding in the prevention and elimination of blighting conditions. HUD must approve all projects before funds are released.  

For more on the Community Development Block Grant Program contact Thomas L. Thompson, Village Economic Development Coordinator, at 933-8446.
