This Division receives its funding from two federal programs under
the US Department of Housing and Urban Development--the CDBG (Community Development Block
Grant) Program and the HOME Program. The HOME funds are from a regional consortium
that consists of the counties of Cabarrus, Iredell, and Rowan. The City has received funds
directly from HUD for the past fifteen years.
These funds, received July 1 every year, are utilized in conforming to three national objectives.

The City of Salisbury has selected four neighborhood revitalization areas for community development funding:

Annual Action Plan Community Development staff conduct at least two neighborhood meetings in February to receive comments and proposals from citizens and public service organizations regarding use of funds. A public hearing is scheduled in early March at a regular meeting of the City Council. The budget is then developed based on public input received during these meetings and other identified needs. The budget is normally considered by the City Council in early April and then made available for additional public review and comment for 30 days before it is submitted to HUD in May.

Neighborhood Revitalization provides a framework for the city’s housing and
community development pursuits. The plan charts a course for how the City
will invest Community Development Block Grant funds and HOME Investment
Partnership funds received from the U. S. Department of Housing & Urban
Development. The five-year plan was developed with extensive input from
residents of the city’s revitalization areas and from public service
agencies that serve low-moderate income households, special needs and
elderly populations, homeless populations and residents of public housing.
Annual Action Plan activities must be consistent with the priorities and
goals identified in the five-year Consolidated Plan.
Housing Programs The City of Salisbury partners with the Salisbury Community Development Corporation (CDC) to build and rehabilitate affordable housing and to assist first-time homebuyers who earn less than 80% of the median income.  Salisburycdc.org |
