The Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP), known nationally as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, provides federal funding for a variety of community-based projects.
The mission of this program is to assist Illinois communities in meeting their greatest economic and community development needs, with an emphasis on helping communities with substantial low to moderate-income populations.
Funds may be used for machinery and equipment, working capital, building construction and renovation. Grants may also be available for improvements to public infrastructure in direct support of a business that would create and/or retain jobs in the community.
Projects must benefit 51% low-to-moderate income (LMI) persons.
