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).
