Sharon City Of Community Development is a U.S. local government entity registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) since November 17, 2003, located in Sharon, Pennsylvania. The organization primarily operates through its Community Development Department, which focuses on urban community development initiatives. As a local government entity, Sharon City Of Community Development receives federal grant awards, specifically Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to support community improvement and economic development activities within its municipal boundaries.

The organization has consistently received annual CDBG Entitlement Grants, with awards ranging from $500,000 to $554,128 each year from fiscal years 2020 to 2025. These grants enable the city to fund a wide range of community development activities, including property acquisition, demolition, rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures, infrastructure improvements, and public services. The primary focus of these grants is to benefit low- and moderate-income residents by creating viable urban communities, providing decent housing, developing suitable living environments, and expanding economic opportunities. In the most recent grant award (B24MC420105), the city made a sub-award of $15,000 to the Community Action Partnership of Mercer County to support the "Lots to Love" initiative, likely providing services such as housing assistance or job training. The grants are administered through HUD's Community Planning and Development program, with each award having a performance period of approximately seven years, allowing the city flexibility in implementing community development strategies tailored to local needs.
