The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program was
established under Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended, in order to assist
communities in providing essential community facilities,
providing decent housing for residents, promoting economic
development and maintaining a suitable living
environment. The State of New Mexico estimates the 2012
appropriation of $9,000,000 to be distributed statewide on a
competitive basis.
State and national objectives of the CDBG Program require that
assistance be made available for activities that address at
least one of the following:
1) An activity identified as
principally benefiting persons of low and moderate income;
2) Aid in the prevention and elimination of
slums and blight;
3) Meet other community development needs of
recent origin having a particular urgency because existing
conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health
and welfare of the community where other financial resources
are not available to meet such needs.
Applications are limited to a maximum of $500,000, except for
planning applications which have a limit of $50,000.
Eligible activities and categories will be described.
All interested parties are invited to attend, to submit ideas,
to provide supporting data and testimony, and other pertinent
information.
With sufficient notice, a translator will be provided for
non-English speaking residents. Those unable to attend
the public hearings may send written comments to:
