CDBG Background
Since 1981, the Village of Mount Prospect has received an allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). CDBG funds are intended to create viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents.
The Village is an "entitlement community" (having a population over 50,000) and develops its own program and funding priorities. HUD requires the Village to adopt a Five-Year Consolidated Plan and an Annual Action Plan. The Consolidated Plan explains the community's needs and priorities as well as the programs and projects it intends to fund. The Annual Action Plan explains how the Village will use CDBG funds during each fiscal year.
The Village has granted CDBG funds for the following priority needs during the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan Cycle:
- Public Services
- Homeless Services
- Affordable Housing
- Community Facilities
- Public Infrastructure
