Community Development Block Grant Program
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, provides an annual grant which supports a variety of projects and activities to benefit Manchester residents. The town re-entered the CDBG program in 1991. Communities participating in the CDBG program have a great deal of discretion regarding the use of grant funds as long as proposed projects and activities:
- meet one or more national objectives;
- are eligible according to HUD guidelines; and
- at least 70% of the grant funds expended benefit low and moderate income residents.
The town has adopted the following community development goal to determine how CDBG funds will be allocated:
To preserve, improve and revitalize our older neighborhoods, where housing and other needs are greatest and broadest, so they will continue to be livable and attractive neighborhoods.
** Proposed Annual Action Plan for Program Year 19**
The planning process for the CD019 Action Plan is underway. This Action Plan, once finalized, will determine the way in which Manchester's CDBG allocation will be spent during Program Year 19, which runs from October 1, 2009 - September 30, 2010.
