Entitlement Community

The City of Caldwell receives federal funds called the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) annually. The City of Caldwell has been a HUD "entitlement" community since 2016 and has successfully completed multiple projects ranging from job creation/retention, helping serve nutritional meals to the elderly, creating affordable housing and more. All CDBG funds are provided to low- to moderate- income families who reside within the Caldwell City Limits.

Purpose

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is committed to developing viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, primarily for persons of low and moderate income.

CDBG provides funding to implement a wide variety of community and economic development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development and the provision of improved community facilities and services. The City of Caldwell has been an "entitlement" community since 2016 and since then has been successful in partnering with partners in the community, and with the families of Caldwell in making a difference.

What is CDBG?

CDBG activities must meet one of the following National Objectives:

Benefit persons of low and moderate income
Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight
Meet other community development needs of particular urgency (Ex. Natural Disaster, Tornado, Hurricane, etc.)
