Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Community Development Block Grant
The City of Thousand Oaks receives an annual entitlement in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
CDBG Needs Assessment (Federal Funds)
Each year, the City invites public comments on the unmet needs of lower-income persons and households. The City considers these comments before drafting a spending plan for its annual Community Development Block Grant (CDGB) entitlement from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These Federal funds are used for community development activities and public/social services primarily benefiting lower-income households. CDBG Application, when open, will be posted here.
