Your application paperwork

HUD's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program sends federal money to cities, counties, and states, which use part of it to run local home repair grant and loan programs for low and moderate income homeowners. There is no single national form; the program, the help offered (a grant, a forgivable loan, or a low-interest loan), and the rules are set by your local government. You apply through your city or county housing or community development office.
