Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program

The CDBG program is administered by the Planning Department in direct coordination with the Riverside County Economic Development Agency (EDA). This program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Our annual CDBG funds vary in amount from year to year and are used for capital improvement projects within the City's "CDBG/Low-Mod" planning area, and for public services via our local non-profit 501(C)(3) public service organizations. These organizations may apply each year for CDBG funding typically around the end of August. CDBG allocations are then reviewed and approved by the City Council in October of each program year. In order to qualify, CDBG funded projects must satisfy one of three national program objectives as required by HUD. These three areas are as follows:

  • Provide a benefit to low and moderate income persons;
  • Prevent or eliminate slums and blight; or
  • Meet other urgent community development needs due to natural disasters or other emergencies.

For questions about the CDBG program, please email Cameron Luna, Associate Engineer or call 951-677-7751, ext. 245.
