-2025 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (CDBG)
PROPOSED USE OF SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS
As a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided supplemental funding to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The CARES Act allowed for funds to be utilized to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the impacts of the crisis.
The Town of Greece received Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus funds (CDBG - CV) from HUD for use in the Town's 2019 program year, which began August 1, 2019.
The Town of Greece is now proposing an amendment to its previously approved 2019 CDBG Annual Action Plan to allow for the acceptance and use of these supplemental funds, and to reallocate remaining CDBG-CV resources toward the next phase of the Town's response initiatives.
Public Meeting
The proposed amendment will be discussed at a public meeting on:
Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
