Somerset County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program

How it works

Somerset County’s Community Development Office administers the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for projects and services in Somerset County. The county says CDBG-funded projects and activities must provide benefit to low- and moderate-income families or individuals. Applications are received on an annual basis through a Request for Proposal process tied to the county funding schedule.

What the money covers

The county page is program-level and does not list a wildfire- or disaster-hardening-specific scope. It says CDBG can fund eligible programs or services that serve Somerset County residents, and the county posts annual public notices and project summaries for the program year.

Amounts and matching

No fixed homeowner amount is stated on the official page. Awards are made through the county’s annual application and review process.

How to apply

Eligible municipalities and nonprofits can apply. The county directs applicants to its annual RFP process and funding schedule.

Timing and deadlines

The county posts a yearly funding schedule and program-year notices. The page does not state a permanent open date or a standing deadline for homeowner applications, and the page does not describe direct homeowner applications.
