Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) (Louisiana (non-entitlement communities))

Flexible HUD-funded program administered by the Louisiana Housing Corporation that provides communities with resources to address community development needs, including affordable housing, services for vulnerable populations, and job creation through business expansion and retention. Funds are allocated to 'non-entitlement' local governments in Louisiana; HUD determines grant amounts using a formula based on poverty, population, housing overcrowding, age of housing, and population growth lag.
