The City of Albany, Georgia is an entitlement community that is responsible for administering the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Housing Investment Partnership Program (HOME) programs funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) within its strategic planning areas: Enterprise Community (CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area), the South Albany Redevelopment Area (CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area), and the East Albany Urban Redevelopment Area. These strategic planning areas serve as jurisdictions where the federally funded activities are undertaken.
The CDBG program enables local governments to undertake a wide range of activities intended to create suitable living environments, provide decent affordable housing and create economic opportunities, primarily for persons of low and moderate income. Eligible activities must meet one of HUD’s national objectives:
1. Benefit low and moderate income persons,
2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or
3. Urgent needs.
