| Background Information |
Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH) receives approximately $13 million in CDBG entitlement funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to fund eligible programs and projects in communities located in the 13 rural counties in the state.
Funding is accessed through a process that is described in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan and annual updates to the Plan, a document required by HUD to describe such processes. The rural Councils of Government (COGs) partner with ADOH to assist communities with project administration and technical assistance.
CDBG funds may be utilized to address a wide variety of community needs, some of which include various affordable housing projects, including home reconstruction, rehabilitation and repair programs. The Gila County Board of Supervisors authorized the submittal of the CDBG Application for funding on June 3, 2014.
