Formula Grant B24MC480501

This is a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.218). The $2,584,488 grant will be used by the City of Brownsville, Texas to fund a range of community development activities over a period of 7 years from October 1, 2024 to September 1, 2031. Eligible activities under the CDBG program include acquisition of real property, rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures, construction of public facilities and infrastructure, provision of public services, and economic development assistance. The grant aims to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, creating suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities, primarily for low- and moderate-income individuals. As a formula grant, the funding allocation is determined based on pre-defined criteria rather than a competitive award process. The City of Brownsville will serve as the primary grant administrator and will determine which specific local projects receive CDBG funding.
