What is Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)?

• CDBG and HOME are federal grant programs from HUD that provide communities with flexible funding to address a wide range of community development needs.
• The City of Bremerton receives funding yearly to benefit low- and moderate-income residents, help reduce or prevent slum and blight, address an urgent need, or provide affordable housing.
• Many local non-profits have received support from the City's CDBG funding for public service, capital/construction and housing projects. See details in annual Action Plans, below.

The City of Bremerton is an entitlement community which receives a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the federal department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each year. The City also receives funding from the Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) fund via an interlocal agreement with Kitsap County, and it receives Shelter + Care funds to assist with supportive services. To comply with grant guidelines, the City participates with Kitsap County in the Consolidated Planning Process for Housing and Community Development.

A large proportion of the funding each year is granted to local agencies and service providers who are best equipped to serve citizens in need. The allocation of these funds to the agencies takes place through a competitive grant application process each year, which is managed through the City's Department of Community Development.

Please check the general information page or contact the Department of Community Development for more information on the federal grant process.
