CDBG Competitive Set-Aside Program

Up to 12% of the annual CDBG allocation is set aside for the Competitive Program, serving smaller municipalities eligible under Act 179 (population under 10,000) or non-entitlement municipalities. Applicants must allocate 75% of their entitlement allocation toward the proposed project, and administrative funds cannot exceed 10% of the total request. DCED ranks priorities as: 1) Water and Sewer Improvements, 2) Housing, 3) Resiliency Projects, 4) Community Revitalization.
