Community development block grants/state's program and non-entitlement grants in hawaii

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded the Ohio Department of Development $45.588 million on October 1, 2025, under the Community Development Block Grants/State's program (CFDA 14.228), a formula grant funding community development activities through September 30, 2032.

The award funds infrastructure and housing restoration in low- and moderate-income areas across Ohio, with funds passed through to sub-recipients including local governments and community partners. The grant supports the CDBG program's statutory objective to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income persons under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.

Work is performed in Columbus, Ohio. The Ohio Department of Development (doing business as ODSA), a state administrative entity, administers the pass-through allocation and grant stewardship on behalf of HUD. The department operates exclusively as a grant recipient and funding mechanism for federal programs rather than as a service contractor, sub-awarding to community action agencies, nonprofits, local governments, and regional partners throughout the state.
