CDBG Funds

The Community Development Block Grant – Care Act Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to states, cities, and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.  

The Family Success Administration Division received the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)– Cares Act funds through the Broward County Housing Finance and Community Redevelopment Division to provide financial assistance to Broward County residents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to help with rent assistance.  The funds will be available until they have been exhausted.
