CDBG provides funds to local jurisdictions and non-profit agencies to improve the physical, economic, and social conditions in Jefferson County. Funds are intended to provide decent housing, suitable living environments and economic opportunities for low and moderate-income persons. The primary purpose of CDBG funds is for projects referred to as “bricks and mortar” such as housing, public facilities and improvements or for economic development projects.  The goal of HOME is to provide decent affordable housing to low-income households, expand the capacity of nonprofit housing providers, strengthen the ability of state and local governments to provide housing and leverage private-sector participation.
