The federal grant programs include the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships, Emergency Solutions Grants and Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS. These federal programs provide funding to cover things like neighborhood revitalization and community development projects and housing assistance for people experiencing homelessness and those living with HIV/AIDS.
