Florida CDBG FAQ

Who administers CDBG funds in Florida?

In Florida, CDBG dollars flow from HUD to the state and to entitlement cities and counties, which then award them to local governments, public agencies, and nonprofits carrying out eligible activities. Non-entitlement communities typically apply through the state's "Small Cities" or state-administered CDBG program.

What can Florida CDBG grants fund?

Eligible activities include housing rehabilitation, public infrastructure (water, sewer, streets, ADA improvements), community and senior centers, public services for low- and moderate-income residents, and economic development. Each activity must meet a national objective, most commonly benefiting low- and moderate-income people.

When are Florida CDBG applications due?

CDBG cycles are set locally, so deadlines vary by jurisdiction within Florida. The open opportunities below show current deadlines — or run your organization's profile through FindGrants to see every community-development grant you qualify for right now.
