Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) General Information
The City of Elk Grove became an entitlement jurisdiction in 2003 and will receive federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The United States Congress established the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program in 1974. The national objectives of the program, administered nationally by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are to:
- provide decent housing,
- create a suitable living environment, and
- expand economic opportunities principally for low and moderate income people.
In order to receive these funds, the City must prepare Consolidated Plan documents, which are reviewed by HUD. The Consolidated Plan documents include:
- Consolidated Plan
- Annual Action Plan
- Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER)
- Citizen Participation Plan
- Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI)
The City may also receive additional federal funds for affordable housing projects through Sacramento County, which receives HOME Investment Partnership Act funds from HUD. The County’s program is administered locally by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency
The Consolidated Plan is the guiding document for the City’s Community Development Block Grant Program. The Consolidated Plan is typically a five-year plan designed to identify and address the needs of individuals and households that earn less than 80 percent of the area median income (AMI). This group is referred to as the target income group in Consolidated Plan documents. The Plan is also designed to address the needs of areas in Elk Grove, where there is a higher concentration of target income households. These areas are referred to as CDBG Target Areas. The Consolidated Plan is the guiding document for the City’s Community Development Block Grant Program.
A draft of the document is currently available during the 30-day public review period from April 30th to May 30th, 2003. See the Notice of Availability
