Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
Welcome to the City of Cape Girardeau’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program webpage! The CDBG program, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is designed to support community development projects that address critical needs in low- and moderate-income areas. Our goal is to enhance affordable housing, improve public infrastructure, and promote services that uplift vulnerable residents within the community.
