The '''Community Development Block Grant''' ('''CDBG'''), one of the longest-running programs of the [[U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development]], funds local [[community development]] activities with the stated goal of providing [[affordable housing]], [[poverty reduction|anti-poverty program]]s, and infrastructure development. CDBG, like other [[block grant]] programs, differs from [[categorical grant]]s, made for specific purposes, in that they are subject to less federal oversight and are largely used at the discretion of the state and local governments and their subgrantees.
