The goals of the Alaska Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) are to provide financial resources to Alaskan communities for public facilities and planning activities which address issues detrimental to the health and safety of local residents and to reduce the costs of essential community services. The program may also fund Special Economic Development activities which result in the creation of jobs for low and moderate income persons. CDBG competitive grants are single-purpose project grants; maximum of $850,000 per community. There are three basic funding categories: community development, planning and Special Economic Development.
