Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

The Cherry Hill Township Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program, as administered by the US Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), allocates annual grants to develop viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and opportunities to expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.

CARES ACT SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE 2019 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN

In accordance with CDBG program regulations, the Township is permitted to make substantial amendments to its Annual Action Plan and Budget in accordance with their Citizen Participation Plan.  The Township has determined that it is necessary to amend the approved CDBG program budget for the previously approved program year FY 2019 in order to address community needs that have emerged through the COVID-19 public health crisis. This qualifies as a substantial amendment in accordance with the Township of Cherry Hill’s Citizen Participation Plan.  This document will be available to the public for review and comment until August 23, 2020
