The awards consist of $27.82 million for the Community Development Block Grant Program; $13.45 million for the HOME Investment Partnership Program; $1.44 million for the Emergency Shelter Grant Program; and $1.38 million for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program.
  • The Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) develops viable communities and provides housing and a suitable living environment by expanding economic opportunities for low and moderate income households.

  • The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program addresses the housing needs of low-income persons diagnosed with AIDS.
