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
The Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive five-year planning document that identifies the overall housing and community development needs of the village, outlines available programs and resources, and establishes a strategy for prioritizing and addressing these needs. The Consolidated Plan establishes a unified vision for community development actions. HUD requires that entitlement communities develop a vision that addresses issues such as affordable housing, adequate infrastructure, fair housing, civic design, the environment, and economic growth. The goals of the Consolidated Plan are to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities to benefit low and moderate-income residents.
The Annual Action Plan includes the projects and the funding allocations for the program year. It is a list of programs, projects, or activities that are in line with the approved Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The 2025 Action Plan covers the period from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
The Annual Action Plan includes the projects and the funding allocations for the program year.
