  ABOUT THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT EMERGENCY PROGRAM

  The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Emergency funds are available for eligible projects which result from emergencies and unanticipated events that have a serious and immediate threat to public health and safety. Applicants for Emergency grants must demonstrate a benefit to citizens of low-to-moderate income. The stated emergency should have occurred within the past 18 months.

  
  Funding for the CDBG program is provided to New Hampshire through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. New Hampshire’s statewide CDBG program has been administered by CDFA since 2003.

  All applications must be received by CDFA through its online grants management system (https://nhcdfagrants.org). Additional information on the CDBG Program can be found by visiting Community Development Block Grant – Resources from NHCDFA.

  Eligibility Guidelines

  Eligible applicants for CDBG funds include most New Hampshire incorporated counties, cities, and towns. A nonprofit agency may also apply through its municipality or county as a sub-recipient of CDBG funds.

  CDBG funds awarded to a municipality in this category with a population of 10,000 or under shall not exceed $350,000 for a one year grant(s). CDBG funds awarded to a municipality in this category with a population above 10,000 shall not exceed $500,000 for a one year grant(s).

  Please note the federally-designated entitlement communities of Dover, Manchester, Nashua, Portsmouth, and Rochester are ineligible to apply as they receive CDBG funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
