To
build a 21st century economy, the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act proposes to
engage contractors across the nation to
create jobs by rebuilding community water
and sewer systems, roads and bridges,
modernizing public buildings, and other
infrastructure projects.
Community
Development Block Grant Program
The
federal stimulus package includes $1 billion
in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program funds to be distributed across
states (and the existing HUD-designated
entitlement communities within states). As
a whole, Illinois can expect approximately
$48 million dollars in CDBG stimulus
funding. The State of Illinois' program,
administered by DCEO, will receive
$8,585,276 of this funding, with the balance
of approximately $39 million to be
distributed to the various HUD entitlement
communities in Illinois. Illinois is
actively working with HUD understand all
requirements for receiving these funds.
DCEO will submit an action plan for public
review and comments once the HUD has
provided this guidance. Revisit here for
future updates about Illinois’ CDBG stimulus
funding.
In
Illinois CDBG is called the Community
Development Assistance Program (CDAP). For

CDBG/CDAP program,
