CDBG Housing Rehabilitation / Homeowner Assistance activities

How it works

Cecil County’s Community Development page says community development projects are nearly 100% grant funded and may address housing rehabilitation and homeowner assistance. It also says Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) are federal funds awarded by the State of Maryland to Cecil County.

What the money covers

The page lists several possible project types that could affect homeowners, including:

• Housing rehabilitation
• Homeowner assistance
• Public services
• Clearance/acquisition
• Code enforcement

The page also states that Cecil County uses these funds for projects that develop and preserve decent affordable housing.

Amounts and matching

The page does not state a homeowner award amount, match requirement, reimbursement method, or per-household cap.

How to apply

The page says applications are annual and competitive, and that only local governments may apply, although they may apply on behalf of nonprofit organizations. The page also says a nonprofit interested in a project should submit a preliminary proposal for consideration.

Timing and deadlines

The page states the county’s CDBG applications are annual and competitive, but it does not provide a homeowner application deadline on the page text reviewed.
