At its monthly meeting on Monday, July 28, Lebanon City Council passed two resolutions that will guide the city’s use of federal Community Development Block Grant funds.
The CDBG program , administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, aims to improve the quality of life for people with low or moderate incomes, revitalize urban centers, and address the health and safety needs of low-income communities.
Municipalities such as the city receive grant funds from HUD and are responsible for distributing them to eligible individuals and organizations in accordance with HUD guidelines. Private companies, nonprofit organizations, and individuals are not eligible to receive CDBG
