CDBG Housing Grant

The United States Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) allocates funds used by the Kansas Department of Commerce for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing Rehabilitation program. The City of Arkansas City has been awarded a CDBG grant from Commerce for the purpose of housing rehabilitation within the city. The maximum amount of CDBG federal grant funds to be spent on rehabilitation is $25,000 per unit. Private matches are encouraged to fill the gap in financing if a rehabilitation will exceed this threshold. This program is designed to provide housing rehabilitation for low-to-moderate income individuals who own (or rent) a housing unit within the target area.

Applicants will be screened and rated in accordance with eligibility criteria as set out in the Housing Rehabilitation Plan.
