The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is the federal government’s primary program for promoting community revitalization throughout the country. CDBG provides annual grants on a formula basis to Anoka County. The CDBG program has three general national objectives:

• benefit low- and moderate-income persons,
• aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, and
• meet other community development needs that present a serious or immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community.

CDBG funds are used for a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and improved community facilities and services. Activities that can be funded with CDBG dollars include, but are not limited to, acquisition of real property, acquisition and construction of public works and facilities, code enforcement, reconstruction and rehabilitation of residential and nonresidential properties, homeownership assistance, micro enterprise assistance, and public services that address issues such as employment, crime prevention, childcare, physical and mental health, drug abuse, education and fair housing counseling.
