The Idaho Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, administered by Idaho Commerce, aids Idaho cities and counties in developing essential public infrastructure. Funded annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the program targets projects benefiting low- and moderate-income individuals, eliminating slum and blight conditions, or addressing health and safety threats. Idaho CDBG funds are used for the construction and improvement of public facilities, including sewer and water systems, streets, fire stations, and the removal of architectural barriers. Communities can extend infrastructure to public housing projects or assist homeowners with improvements.
