The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program in Contra Costa County provides funding to improve housing, infrastructure, economic opportunities, and public services primarily for low- and very low-income residents. Sponsored by HUD, the program annually allocates funds to Contra Costa County as an eligible "Urban County," excluding the cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek, which operate their own CDBG programs. The funding supports a range of projects, including economic development, public facilities, and homeless services, with a focus on enhancing community viability and quality of life.
For FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27, the County is soliciting proposals from nonprofit organizations and public agencies for projects in Public Service, Economic Development, Infrastructure/Public Facilities, and Homeless Services. Interested applicants must submit their proposals through City Data Services by December 5, 2024, at 5:00 PM. Applications will be available online starting October 9, 2024, alongside a kick-off meeting packet to provide guidance on the application process.
For more details on eligibility and requirements, applicants can access resources through Contra Costa County’s Department of Conservation and Development or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
