The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) anticipates the availability of funding for the following Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2025 Massachusetts Community Development Block Grant (MA CDBG) program components:

Communities may apply to the Community Development Fund or the Mini-Entitlement Program for a variety of projects including rehabilitation of housing stock, improvements to infrastructure, stabilization of neighborhoods, planning, public social services and downtown related projects.

An information session providing application guidance will be held at the following time and held virtually using Microsoft Teams. This session will provide an introduction to EOHLC's new on-line application format including how to register as a user in the system and how to navigate through the system in order to complete and submit an application. Application guidance materials will be available online at www.mass.gov/service-details/community-development-block-grant-cdbg<https://www.mass.gov/service-details/community-development-block-grant-cdbg>.
