Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
CDBG Process
The federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program was designed to improve low- and moderate-income communities.
We allocate CDBG funds toward various community improvement projects in the unincorporated areas of San Diego County and the six participating cities of Poway, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Coronado, Lemon Grove, and Imperial Beach.
Community residents, nonprofit organizations and other County departments may submit CDBG proposals.
Our CDBG funds are awarded annually through the application process.
Applications are available each year in late summer and are typically due in the fall. The following spring, grants are presented to the County Board of Supervisors for their consideration.
CDBG Application
The Community Development Block Grant Application for Fiscal Year 2025-26 period is open from September 30 – November 27, 2024. More information is available on the Application Process page
The Consolidated Plan
The Consolidated Plan (on our Plans page) provides a demographic profile, an assessment of housing and community development needs in San Diego County and strategies for addressing those needs each year. CDBG applications are evaluated against the needs and strategies identified in the Consolidated Plan. The Annual Funding Plan outlines the specific projects that will be funded by CDBG that year.
