Since 1982, more than $108 million has been awarded to GOALS & PRIORITIES 18 rural Nevada communities. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program enables local governments to undertake a wide range of activities intended to create suitable living environments, provide affordable housing, and create economic opportunities, primarily for persons of low and moderate income.  One major benefit of the CDBG program is its ability to match other federal funds. In Nevada, we maximize these resources by partnering with federal and private entities to support larger projects around the state. GOALS & PRIORITIES  Closely align the CDBG program with plans and activities of the Rural Development Authorities.  Approve fewer, larger grants with an emphasis on maximizing community impact.  Use more CDBG dollars for economic development activities.
