Community Development Block Grant Grantee Areas

<p><font size='3'>Established in 1974, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program provides annual grant funding to local and

state governments to address a wide range of unique community development needs.</font></p>

<p><font size='3'>HUD determines the amount of each grant by using a formula comprised of several measures of community need, including

the extent of poverty, population, housing density, age of housing, and population growth relative to other metropolitan

areas.</font></p>

<p><font size='3'>The annual CDBG appropriation is allocated among states and local jurisdictions categorized as &quot;entitlement&quot; and

&quot;non-entitlement&quot; communities respectively. Entitlement communities are comprised of the principal cities of Metropolitan Statistical

Areas (MSAs); metropolitan cities with populations of at least 50,000; and qualified urban counties with a population of 200,000 or

more (excluding the populations of entitlement cities). Non-entitlement communities receive CDBG funding from their respective states

in accordance with requirements that state.</font></p>
