Community Development Block Grant

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federally funded grant program. CDBG funds are awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to qualifying communities to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development, and providing improved community facilities and services.

Five Year CDBG Con Plan


The CDBG Consolidated Plan is prepared every five-years, and its planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing, economic, and community development needs and priorities.

The City is looking to receive input from all residents and supportive agencies to gain an understanding and develop a plan for how CDBG funds will be expended over the next five-year period. St. Cloud uses its annual allocation to provide housing programs, infrastructure, economic development activities, fair housing efforts, community facilities and public services to assist low and moderate income residents. Although these programs directly benefit individuals and families, the entire community benefits through the CDBG’s investment in the health, safety and stability of its neighborhoods.

How You Can Be Involved

Public participation is very important in helping the City plan for how the CDBG funds will be expended over the course of the next 5-years. Please help the City of St. Cloud determine its housing and community development needs by participating in the St. Cloud Housing Survey. The survey should take approximately 10 minutes. We appreciate your time and assistance in helping us plan for the next five years!

CAPER

The City is required to submit an annual Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to HUD that includes the performance and evaluation of activities funded with CDBG funds for the recently completed program year. It describes each funded activity and provides an assessment as well as information on accomplishments and performance outcomes. The report is submitted to HUD each September.
