Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Income (PI) Design Phase 2024
CDBG Background
Funds are released annually through a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
The next NOFA is expected to be released in late July.
The primary federal objective of the CDBG program is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and through expanding economic opportunities, principally, for persons of low- and moderate-income. “Persons of low and moderate income” are defined as families, households, and individuals whose incomes do not exceed 80 percent of the county median income, adjusted for family or household size.

Program Income
Program Income (PI), loan funds that have been repaid to the City, may be added to an application to increase the maximum, if available and desired.
The City currently has the option to add approximately $570,000 in PI to a 2024 application. Access to expending funds would follow the NOFA timeline.
Alternately, the City could apply for a PI only project or program under the 2023 PI only solicitation, available now in HCD’s application portal. Under this scenario, funds would be available for use sooner, likely before the end of 2024.
A PI application may either be submitted separately or added to a 2024 NOFA application.
CDBG Requirements:
National Objectives
All CDBG activities must meet one of the following National Objectives:
(1) benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
(2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or (3) meet certain urgent community needs.
Depending on the type of project or program, benefit can be provided directly to low-moderate-income persons, or to a predominantly low-moderate income area Matrix Codes
Matrix Codes are assigned to different types of activities.
Only limited Matrix Codes are allowed for PI use
