CDBG (Community Development Block Grant)
Program Overview (scroll down for current activities/information)
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is the nation's housing agency committed to sustaining homeownership, creating affordable housing opportunities for low-income Americans, and supporting the homeless, elderly, people with disabilities and people living with AIDS. The Department also promotes economic and community development and enforces the nation's fair housing laws. More information about HUD and its programs is available on the Internet at www.hud.gov and espanol.hud.gov. Also helpful: HUD in Utah.
In Logan: The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is funded through HUD with the primary objective being the development of viable urban communities by providing assistance for infrastructure and public facility improvements, decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. Since 2004, the City of Logan has been one of the HUD-designated Entitlement Jurisdictions in the State of Utah, receiving CDBG awards based on a complex formula allocation. Current and recent past efforts are captured in the information and links below and in columns to the left (under CDBG) and lower right (under Additional Info) of this section.

Assistance for Low-Income Homeowners:
Affordable Housing Plan
As a CDBG Entitlement Jurisdiction, the City is acting to affirmatively further fair housing (view Fair Housing Act). It is currently conducting a new affordable housing study, including an analysis of impediments to fair housing choice within Logan, after which the City will prepare and implement a plan of action to address affordable housing needs of the community and to overcome any fair housing impediments identified. The analysis and resulting plan should be available on this site in early 2010. Additionally, the City will comply with requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, in connection with any activity assisted with CDBG funding.
CDBG Recovery Act (CDBG-R) Stimulus Grant
As an Entitlement Jurisdiction, the City was allocated $158,804 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funding. Following Logan Municipal Council approval of the City's proposal, the City filed the required CDBG-R application with HUD . The City proposal to use the funding for sidewalk improvements to increase walkability and ADA mobility and to encourage residential connection to transportation and vital services was approved by HUD in late July 2009.
The Grant Process
The City is required to file a Consolidated Plan (Plan) every five years. The Plan contains a Five-year Strategic Plan component to establish funding priorities and a Citizen Participation Plan component to address the public review/approval processes related to CDBG funding. Each year, the City develops an Annual Action Plan to determine which projects will be awarded allocations during the next funding phase, based on the City's fiscal year (July 1- June 30). Applications are generally accepted in January and reviewed/recommended by the CDBG Steering Committee in February, with allocations determined by the City Council soon thereafter. The Annual Action Plan is then submitted to HUD for review and approval. Access to current documents is available from the links in the left and right columns on this page.
