This week, @CLECityCouncil is holding committee meetings about federal Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). CDBG is complicated and it’s hard to know how it impacts our City, so I thought I might share some background and how I interact with CDBG on the regular. CDBG is designed to do a handful of things, but primarily it’s intended to fund activities that will improve living environments, expand economic opportunity, and provide decent housing. Funds are intended to serve low- and moderate-income residents and areas.
