PUBLIC FACILITIES
An activity may be assisted in whole or in part with CDBG funds if the activity is defined as eligible under Section 105(a) of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, {current law 42 USC 5305}.
Each state administering the CDBG program is allowed the flexibility of determining its priorities from that range of eligible activities under Section 105(a) of the Act. Within HUD regulations, the State of Louisiana has established priorities for program categories and activities. The first round of awards has been announced for the FY 2024 program year. Additional awards may be made later in the program year in accordance with the FY 2024 Method of Distribution.
OCD-LGA is currently reviewing and scoring FY 2025 applications, and awards are anticipated to be announced on April 1, 2025. Note: funds can be awarded to applicants who are on the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's Non-Compliance List. See the FY 2025 Method of Distribution for more information about scoring and eligibility.
The FY 2026 - 2027 Program Cycle Information Memo gives an overview of the important dates and scoring. The Public Facilities Project Severity Package is now available. This package must be submitted by the deadline in order to be considered for FY 2026 and/or FY 2027. Citizen participation requirements must also be followed. These requirements are being updated and new information is coming soon.
