Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

Program Information:

Each year the City of Missoula conducts a competitive application process to award approximately $500,000 available for housing and community development projects designed to assist low-income residents. The money is provided to the City by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The City solicits applications each fall from individuals and community groups who can address federal objectives which include expanding the supply of housing affordable to low-income families and individuals, offering other types of assistance to low- and moderate-income persons, eliminating slums and blight, or meeting urgent community development needs. Missoula’s specific objectives for its CDBG allocations can be found in the Missoula Consolidated Plan, adopted by City Council in February 2009. Copies of the plan are available from OPG.

Applications are available on this website in early September and are usually due in mid-November. Contact Cindy Wulfekuhle (258-3795) or Melissa Gordon (258-4980) for more information.

FY 2010 CDBG Funds:

The total allocation for City of Missoula CDBG activities for Federal Fiscal Year 2010 is anticipated to be approximately $687,128. Of this amount, $137,425 may be allocated for administration and for activities to promote fair and affordable housing. Up to $549,703 may be awarded through the process described herein. $103,068 of the funds available may be awarded to public (human) service applicants.

The City will reserve approximately $67,000 of the available funds to undertake activities that promote fair and affordable housing and to manage the programs.
