 | CDBG / HOME Programs |
The City of Irvine participates in the Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Programs. Each year the City uses CDBG and HOME funds to assist non-profit public service organizations that provide services and housing to low and moderate income residents.
The City also provides funding for selected capital expenditure projects that result in developments or construction that meet the eligibility criteria for federal program funds.
Consolidated Plan Each year, the City of Irvine receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The grant money is used to benefit lower-income residents of the City through the funding of non-profit service providers and capital expenditure projects. As a direct recipient of CDBG and HOME funds from HUD, the City is required to prepare a five-year Consolidated Plan and annual updates to guide and report on the use of these federal grant funds. The Consolidated Plan identifies the City’s needs in housing, homelessness, community development and economic development. It also presents the City’s strategies to address these needs.

During the course of the five years that the City’s Consolidated Plan is in effect, the City must also produce five Annual Action Plans and five Consolidated Performance Evaluation Reports. The Annual Action Plan describes how the City intends to invest its CDBG and HOME. Click here to view City’s 2011-12 Action Plan.

CDBG-R: On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed Title XII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) into law. ARRA appropriates $1 billion in supplemental funds for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Referred to as the CDBG Recovery program (CDBG-R), the goal of this program is to primarily invest in economic development, housing, infrastructure and other public facility construction that will quickly spur further economic investment, increase energy efficiency, and create or retain jobs. For more information on how the City will use these funds please see the attached CDBG-R Substantial Amendment and CDBG-R Spreadsheet for a list of projects to be funded through this program. | DOWNLOADS
