Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

CDBG logo

MSHDA's Neighborhood Development Division (NDD) allocates Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds through the MI Neighborhood Program. This grant funding is provided to non-entitlement units of general local government—including cities, towns, townships, villages, and counties that do not receive direct CDBG allocations from HUD (see CDBG Municipalities Map to determine eligibility)

Letter of Intent Process to Reserve MI Neighborhood CDBG Funds – 4th Round

MSHDA will begin its fourth round of accepting LOI for funding from eligible Units of General Local Government (UGLG) on February 4, 2026, for proposals that meet the housing objectives of the CDBG Program. These letters will be used to establish eligible projects. Letters will be reviewed on a first come first served basis until available funds are fully designated for projects. After submission, you may be contacted for a consultation prior to reservation of funds.

If approved, grantees will receive a designation memo reserving funds contingent upon completion of a formal application outlining CDBG compliance steps.  Applications are provided upon LOI approval.

Submission guidance, forms, available funding amounts by region, and the online submission link will be provided on this webpage on or before February 4, 2026.
