Program Description
FUNDING

CDBG funds are used for community development and affordable housing activities. Each year, the City solicits applications from non-profit organizations serving low and moderate-income residents through programming that addresses priorities and goals established by the Economic & Community Development Board in the 5-Year Consolidated Plan for 2020-2024.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allocated $588,210 to the City of Bristol for 2023-2024. The CDBG Annual Action Plan for Year 49 is available here.
