WHAT WE DO
The Bureau’s Office of Community Development is responsible for the administration of federal funds and requirements for the City’s Community Development Block Grant Program, the Emergency Solutions Grant Program, HOME, and State grants provided through DCED and the Commonwealth’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program. Through these programs, the City allocates millions of dollars to community priorities and organizations, with an emphasis on funding the preservation and production of safe and affordable housing, promoting neighborhood revitalization, and the prevention and mitigation of homelessness.
