Community Development Block Grant Information
Each year, the City and Borough of Juneau is eligible to sponsor a local project for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant Program facilitated through the State of Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development. CDBG competitive grants are single-purpose project grants with a maximum of $850,000 per community.
The goals of the Alaska Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) are to provide financial resources to Alaskan communities for public facilities and planning activities that address issues detrimental to resident’s health and safety and reduce the costs of essential community services. The program may also fund Special Economic Development activities, which create jobs for low and moderate-income persons.
