Community Development Block Grant

The City of Idaho Falls Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is administered by the Planning Department. This program is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Over $300,000 is received each year to benefit low and moderate income (LMI) persons or prevent conditions of slum and blight.

Each October the city invites non-profit agencies and city departments to submit project ideas for the grant funds. City Council considers the projects to be included in the Annual Action Plan. Once HUD approves the Plan the projects are funded and constructed.

For questions, please contact Lisa Farris. If communication aids or services or other physical accommodations are needed to participate or access this meeting, please contact Naysha Foster or Lisa Farris within 24 hours of the scheduled meeting so we may accommodate your needs.
