2026 CDBG Public Works - Facilities

CDBG funds will be used for public facility projects. The purpose of the Public Works (PW) Opportunity is to provide for a broad range of investments to communities investing in effective and affordable facilities that address strategic long- term developments. This Opportunity recognizes the importance of the availability and condition of community facilities. Funded projects shall develop the state’s communities and counties by providing residents with facilities with the opportunity to maximize energy efficiency and provide a suitable living environment. CDBG funds that are requested for public facility projects must meet the **RESIDENTIAL IN CHARACTER** requirement per 24 CFR §570.483(b)(1)(i). During the Program Year, all activities proposed in applications for CDBG funding must meet the national objective of benefitting low- and moderate-income persons (through the subcategories LMI Area Benefit and LMI Limited Clientele).
