NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion to proclaim the week of April 1-5, 2024 as National Community Development Week.
Body
Background:
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program of which the City of Delray Beach has been a recipient since 1988. As such, we are excited to be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the CDBG program this year in 2024. Enacted by Congress in 1974 under the Housing and Community Development Act, CDBG provides necessary funding to communities across the country to address housing rehabilitation, public service, infrastructure, economic development (business assistance), public service activities, disaster recovery, and other community needs. We are grateful to have been awarded funds which play a pivotal role in helping the most vulnerable citizens through key investments. We proclaim April 1-5, 2024 as National Community Development Week to highlight the CDBG accomplishments of the past 50 years.
