Santa Fe, NM– Santa Fe County is pleased to announce upcoming public hearings for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Established under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, it aims to support communities by funding essential facilities, ensuring decent housing, promoting economic development, and maintaining a suitable living environment. The State of New Mexico anticipates an annual allocation of approximately $11 million, distributed competitively across the state.
The state and national objectives of the New Mexico CDBG Program prioritize activities that principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons. Grant applications can request up to $500,000 without certified cost estimates from a licensed professional, and there is no cap with certified cost estimates. Planning applications are limited to $50,000.
To ensure that local citizens have the opportunity to be informed about the CDBG Program, concerns, or project initiatives, Santa Fe County will host the following public hearing:
