ELIGIBLE CDBG ACTIVITIES
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Eligible Public Facility and
Improvement Projects
CDBG Conditions
Sewer and Water
Facilities
These projects may be undertaken on an interim basis in areas exhibiting objectively determinable
signs of physical deterioration where it was determined that immediate action is necessary to
arrest the deterioration and that permanent improvements will be carried out as practicable to
repair:
➢ Streets;
➢ Sidewalks;
➢ Park;
➢ Playgrounds,
➢ Publicly owned utilities; and
➢ The execution of special garbage, trash, and debris removal, including neighborhood
cleanup campaigns, but not the regular curbside collection of garbage or trash in an area.
Streets and Sidewalks
Curb and Gutters
Parks and Playgrounds
Senior Citizens’ Center
Parking Lots or Garages
Utility Lines
Recreation Center
Police or Fire Station in
which services to the
public are actually
provided (as opposed to
administrative offices).
Fire protection equipment including fire trucks, fire fighters’ protective clothing, “jaws of life,” and
other life-saving equipment are eligible for CDBG funding under Public Facilities and
Improvements as this equipment is integral to the fire protection facility.
Aesthetic amenities on
public land such as
landscaping (trees,
sculptures, pools of water
and fountains and other
works of art).
These include all improvements and facilities that are either publicly owned or that are
traditionally provided by government, or owned by a non-profit, and operated so as to be open to
the general public.
Jails or Prisons
Jails are considered to benefit the entire community served by the facility and thus would qualify
under the low-moderate income (LMI) benefit national objective only if the percentage of LMI
persons in the entire jurisdiction is sufficiently high to meet the “area benefit” test.
Library
Public facilities that serve the entire jurisdiction of the grantee, a main library for example, may
qualify under the LMI benefit national objective only if the percentage of LMI persons in the entire
jurisdiction is sufficiently high to meet the “area benefit” test.
Special Assessments
Special Assessments are used to recover the capital costs of a public improvement through a fee
levied or a lien filed against a parcel of real estate either as, 1) a direct result of a benefit derived
from the installation of a public improvement or 2) a one-time charge made as a condition of
access to an improvement. Sewer tap-in fees are an example of a special assessment.
