The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides Nebraskans with safe, affordable and accessible housing and infrastructure; quality jobs and investment through financing new and expanding businesses. The CDBG program was established in 1974 as a part of the Housing and Community Development Act, and in 1981 the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) instituted a CDBG program. The National Community Development Association initiated National Community Development Week in 1986 to remind Congress of the importance of the CDBG program. As a feature of Community Development Week this website has been developed to share with community leaders, policymakers and others the benefits that communities have enjoyed through the CDBG program.
