Summary of Services Provided:

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
The Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) was developed as a result of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The primary objective of the Community Development Block Grant Program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for people of low and moderate income.
HOME Program
The intent of the HOME program is to provide safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for low and moderate-income persons. Individuals, for profit entities, and non-profits can participate in the HOME program. HOME funds can be used toward the following activities: new construction, rehabilitation, site improvements, the acquisition of property, acquisition of vacant land, and project related soft costs.

Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) & Supportive Housing Programs (SHP)
The ESG and SHP programs provide funding to local non-profit agencies for projects that contribute toward the development of a continuum of care system to assist in breaking the cycle of homelessness. These funds are used to assist emergency shelters, transitional housing facilities, and agencies that provide mediation and supportive service for the homeless or near-homeless population in Genesee County.

Home Improvement Program The Genesee County Home Improvement Program was created to provide property owners with a Deferred Payment Loan (DPL) to make needed improvements to their home. These improvements are based on HUD Section 8 Minimum Housing Quality Standards (HQS).
