Community Development Block Grant Program

Historically, applications are solicited in anticipation of the annual grant, public hearings are held by an Advisory commission to interview applicants and ultimately the grant money is distributed / awarded. This program has been a key element in revitalizing six Warwick neighborhoods, providing necessary services to the city's youth, seniors and disadvantaged, and in addressing the needs of critical populations in our community. An activity may be assisted in whole or in part with CDBG funds, only if the activity benefits low-and moderate-income families, aids in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meets the community development needs having particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community.

The CDBG was established in accordance with Title 1 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1974, which is funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's FY 03-04 allocation of $1,042,000 to the City of Warwick.

**Community Development Block Grants FY 2009**
Fiscal year 2009 will represent the 34th year that the City of Warwick has received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. While the CDBG program continues to enjoy wide spread popularity in Congress, future program funding is uncertain. For fiscal year 2009, we are *estimating* that we will receive approximately $902,245.00 in CDBG funds. Over the years, these programs have benefited the residents of City of Warwick in many ways, both through programs operated by the City and those operated by non-governmental agencies.
