The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is a federally funded grant program designed to help communities with their greatest community development needs. All projects must be designed to principally benefit low and moderate-income families. The program is administered locally by the Montana Dept. of Commerce and nationally by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Grant funds are available for both drinking water and wastewater projects. Since 1982, Montana has received over $121 million in CDBG funds. Overall, the public and private funds invested in local CDBG projects has matched the federal funds awarded at almost a two to one ratio, making possible millions of dollars of construction activity and creating jobs for Montana communities across the state.
