City of Hot Springs Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) open application period

How it works

The City of Hot Springs says it is an entitlement grantee of federal Community Development Block Grant funds from HUD and solicits project proposals each year from eligible applicants.

What the money covers

The page says eligible activities are those that support:

• Neighborhood revitalization
• Affordable housing
• Public services
• Public infrastructure
• Limited economic development

The projects must primarily benefit low- to moderate-income residents and areas within the City of Hot Springs.

Application notes

The city says applicants should review the 2026 CDBG Applicant Guide, the CDBG eligibility documents, and the 2024–2028 Consolidated Action Plan before applying. The page also says each application must demonstrate compliance with HUD CDBG eligibility requirements, alignment with the city’s 2024–2028 Consolidated Plan, a strong emphasis on housing stability, neighborhood investment, and low- to moderate-income benefit, plus readiness to proceed and ability to expend funds in a timely manner.

Timing

The page is an open application period page for FY 2026 submissions, so the program is currently active, but the page excerpt does not state a specific closing date.
