A U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program, Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) provide communities with resources to address a wide range of unique development needs. The goals of the program are to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities principally for low and moderate-income citizens. The CDBG program may only fund projects located in, or programs serving, the City of Greenwood.
ACTION PLAN
In 2023, the City of Greenwood will receive $287,627 of CDBG funding. Each program year the City updates the community with an Action Plan, outlining specific projects and funding resources that will be used to meet the priorities and goals. Commencing July 13, 2023 this Action Plan is currently open for 30 days for public comment.

The City of Greenwood values each individual’s civil rights and strives to provide equal opportunity and equitable service to all.

The City further assures every effort will be made to ensure nondiscrimination in all of its programs and activities, regardless of whether those programs and activities are federally funded.

As a requirement of receiving Community Development Block Grant funds, the city must take steps to assure that discriminatory actions, either explicit or implicit, that constrain the choices of people to procure adequate housing are being identified and mitigated. As such, the City published the 2019-2023 Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing Choice.
