CDBG & HOME Program

How it works

The City of Danville receives federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each year. The city says these funds are used locally to revitalize neighborhoods, expand affordable housing and economic opportunities, and improve community facilities and services that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons.

The page explains that the City of Danville administers the CDBG and HOME programs through its Housing and Development Division and that a five-year Consolidated Plan is prepared for 2025-2029. Within that plan, a one-year Action Plan is prepared annually to specify the projects and activities to be funded each year.

What the money covers

The page does not provide a detailed repair menu on the public webpage itself. It does state that the homeowner rehabilitation activity is intended to provide total rehabilitation so the home meets applicable state and local codes, ordinances, and zoning requirements upon completion.

Amounts and matching

• The public page does not state a per-household dollar cap.
• City planning materials referenced in the existing record describe the assistance as five-year forgivable loans.
• No matching requirement is stated on the page.

How to apply

The page does not give a step-by-step application form or intake process on the public webpage.

Instead, it points residents to Housing and Development Division reports and related documents, including annual Action Plans, CAPER reports, the citizen participation plan, and other HUD-related materials. The page also provides a contact number for more information on the five-year Consolidated Plan: 434-799-5260.

Timing and deadlines

• The city prepares annual Action Plans each year within its 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan.
• Prior to adoption of the Consolidated Plan, amendments, or performance reports, the city publishes a public notice with a comment period and public hearings/meetings.
• The page says the City will provide a 30-day comment period for the Consolidated Plan, amendments, and performance reports prior to submission to HUD.
• No current application opening or closing date is listed on the page.
