INTRODUCTION
Montana's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is a federally funded
statewide competitive grant program designed to help communities with populations of less
than 50,000 with their greatest community development needs. The program was
established with the Federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. All
projects assisted with CDBG funds must principally benefit low and moderate-income (LMI)
persons. The basic categories for local community development projects are:
Economic Development
Housing
Public Facilities
The Montana Department of Commerce (MDOC) administers the program in coordination
with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Community
Development Block Grant - Economic Development (CDBG-ED) Program is administered
by the MDOC, Business Resources Division. The housing and public facilities categories
are administered by the MDOC, Community Development Division. Potential applicants
are encouraged to contact the MDOC to discuss their proposed project with CDBG-ED
Staff or an MDOC Regional Development Officer (RDO). CDBG-ED staff can direct you to
the RDO for your area. An RDO must be consulted during the preparation of an
application.
