SHRA administers funds for the City and County of Sacramento from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
The primary objective of the CDBG Program as set forth by Congress is the development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income.
CDBG grants are used for a wide range of affordable housing, community redevelopment and commercial business assistance activities in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods directed toward improving housing conditions, encouraging commercial development and enhancing community facilities and services.
