Community Development Block Grant

The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is federally funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assist lower income and special needs persons with housing and community development needs. CDBG proposals must comply with HUD and Urban County program eligibility requirements. Persons served must meet income guidelines and be residents of the Urban County at the time of intake.  

NEW: The County of Santa Clara has consolidated the Urban County CDBG grant process into a single online application funding and administration process. In the past, the City of Saratoga held public hearings to recommend which projects should get funded. However, under the new process, both Cities and public services providers must now apply directly to the County for funds.

The Urban County CDBG application deadline for Fiscal Year 2012/2013 has passed.

If you are interested in applying for CDBG funds next fiscal year, please contact the Santa Clara County Office of Affordable Housing for more information.
