Help Port St. Lucie become a CDBG success story!

What: The City of Port St. Lucie is looking for residents' input on allocating federal Community Development Block Grant Community Meeting (CDBG) funds to help low- to- moderate-income City residents and areas. Residents are invited to help review and prioritize a list of projects to be funded for the upcoming 2022-23 CDBG Annual Action Plan. CDBG program funds can be used to build community facilities, roads and parks; repair or rehabilitate housing; provide new or increased public services to residents; or to fund initiatives that generate or retain new jobs.

Why: A citizen participation process helps determine community development needs. As part of this process, the City solicits public input in the preparation of the annual Action Plan, which describes specific activities the city will undertake to address community needs and meet the goals established in the City's Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) report provide annual information on the City's accomplishments and progress toward meeting the community's needs and HUD regulatory requirements.

About CDBG: The CDBG Program is a formula-based, entitlement grant provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The primary purpose of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities and provide services to principally low-income citizens and their neighborhoods.
