The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides entitlement communities (metro. cities and urban counties) and states with significant discretion in how they distribute funds for eligible activities. Entitlement communities may use a variety of processes to select individual projects, and states may also use different methods to distribute funds to non-entitlement communities. This report examines: (1) the various methods by which entitlement communities use and distribute their CDBG funds to individual projects within their jurisdictions; (2) the various methods by which states distribute CDBG funds to non-entitlement communities; and (3) HUD¿s role in overseeing these methods.
