Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Community Development Allocation Program

How it works

Ross County’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Community Development Allocation Program is a county-administered allocation program for eligible public-improvement, community-facility, and housing-related activities. The official packet frames it as flexible community-development funding rather than a direct homeowner hardening rebate.

What it covers

The packet lists eligible public improvements such as streets, storm water, sanitary systems, water hydrants, meters, electric, gas, culverts, catch basins, swales, and related rehabilitation/reconstruction. It also lists eligible community facilities, including fire renovation, fire equipment, and fire buildings.

Fire-related details

The packet says fire departments must provide a complete list of equipment needed to meet Ohio fire-fighting safety requirements, along with an itemized list and cost estimates. That makes the program relevant to fire protection capacity, but not a direct home hardening grant for homeowners.

Amounts and matching

The packet excerpt available here does not state a homeowner-specific dollar amount or match requirement. It is an allocation packet for community projects, not a consumer-facing home repair application.

How to apply

The packet is the official application and eligibility reference for community-development applicants. It does not present a homeowner application pathway on the excerpt reviewed.
