Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
HUD provides annual grants on a formula basis to local governments and states for a wide range of community planning initiatives. Funds are intended for activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons, prevent or eliminate slums or blight and address urgent community development needs. In the past, CDBG funds have been used for trail construction.
