Program Overview
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a grant provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program provides the City of Mesquite with the opportunity to develop viable communities by funding activities that provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities principally for low and moderate income persons. Funds are awarded on an annual basis and are carried out in a variety of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development and the provision of improved community facilities and services. Program regulations can be found in 24 CFR Part 570.
