The office administers the grant programs that help communities plan and finance their growth and development, increase their capacity to govern, and provide shelter and services for [[homeless people]]. HUD is a national program, and HUD provides funding directly to larger cities and counties, and for smaller cities and counties, generally to state government. HUD's programs include the Community Development Block Grant Program and the HOME program. One of the office's main functions is dispersing the [[Community Development Block Grant]] (CDBG) as it does not directly provide full-fledged services, but instead aims to build partnerships with the public sector with the private sector, regardless if they are non-profit or not.<ref>{{cite web|title=Community Planning and Development/U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)|url=https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/comm_planning|website=portal.hud.gov}}</ref> Other grant focuses are on Indian Tribes, self-help for those who wish to own their homes, people who live in rural areas, and youth.<ref>{{cite web|title=CPD Appropriations Budget - CPD - HUD|url=https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/comm_planning/about/budget|website=portal.hud.gov}}</ref> ==Structure== The agency is headed by an Assistant Secretary, who oversees the following:<ref>{{cite web |title=CPD Staff HQ & Field Offices {{!}} HUD.gov / U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) |url=https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/comm_planning/staff#leadership |website=www.hud.gov |access-date=10 July 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Structure of CPD|url=https://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/documents/huddoc?id=OFFICEofCPD.pdf}}</ref> * [[Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Community Planning and Development]] ** [[Principal Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Community Planning and Development]] *** [[Deputy Assistant Secretary for Operations]] *** [[Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Development]] *** [[Deputy Assistant Secretary for Special Needs]] *** [[Deputy Assistant Secretary for Grant Programs]] *** Director, [[Office of Field Management]] *** Director, [[Office of Policy Development and Coordination]] *** Director, [[Office of Technical Assistance and Management]] *** Director, [[Office of Rural Housing and Economic Development]] *** Director, [[Office of HIV/AIDS Housing]] *** Director, [[Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs]] *** Director, [[Office of Affordable Housing Programs]] *** Director, [[Office of Block Grant Assistance]] *** Director, [[Office of Environment and Energy]] The [[Office of Grant Programs]] oversees affordable housing and community development programs, including the [[Community Development Block Grant Program]] (CDBG), the [[HOME Investment Partnerships program]], the [[Housing Trust Fund]], and CDBG Disaster Recovery funds, in addition to Department-wide energy and environmental policy.
