Community Development Block Grant
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federal program that provides communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs. The program is mainly intended to benefit extremely low to moderate-income households. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) oversees the program.
The Village of Palatine has received CDBG funding since 2000. During this time, the Village has used CDBG funds for a number of public infrastructure projects. The public infrastructure projects are required to be located in low to moderate income census tracts, as indicated by the 2000 Census. Click here to view the CDBG Target Areas Map.
