Under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program, the City of Taylorsville receives annual funds, totaling about $350,000 annually, to be used specifically for developing viable urban communities. The City in turn distributes and oversees these CDBG funds to subrecipients to carry out community development activities or projects that support this goal of developing viable urban communities. These monies may be used for projects such as: property acquisition, public facilities and improvements, public services, relocation, residential rehabilitation, housing construction, homeownership assistance, and so on. Projects should help accomplish the goals that will further the City's priorities. Main areas of focus of Taylorsville City’s CDBG Program: Housing Programs, Public Facility Improvements, Public Services, and Homeless Services. The purpose of the CDBG program is to benefit low- to moderate-income households by funding projects that revitalize neighborhoods, increase affordable housing, expand economic opportunities, and/or improve community facilities and services.
