Course Details

This course is designed to provide participants with a full understanding of the CDBG Program and especially how it can be used for a wide variety of economic development programs and projects. We will introduce strategies for making it easier to obtain and use funding. This course will also review the potential benefits of creating a Revitalization Strategy Area (RSA) and being designated as a Community Based Development Organization (CDBO) or Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). By de-mystifying the rules and regulations, we hope to encourage broader use of CDBG for economic development. Explore the documentation requirements associated with job tracking and other national objectives as well as the circumstances when a "presumption" of low-to-moderate income benefit can be applied. The class will offer an overview of the Section 108 Loan Guarantee program, designed for large-scale economic development projects.
