Program Overview
Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) is an entitlement program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, CDBG funds are used to address a wide range of eligible housing and community development activities. The program assists the development of viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. The complete regulations governing the CDBG program are found at the Code of Federal Regulations, 24 CFR 570.
Notice of Funding Availability
The Charter Township of Canton announces the availability of approximately $300,000 in CDBG funds for housing and community development activities beginning July 1, 2020. CDBG program income or reprogrammed CDBG funds may also be available under this announcement. Canton will accept sealed applications at the Office of the Clerk up to 3:00 p.m. Thursday, April 9, 2020.

Program Year Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)
Within 90 days after the end of their program year, state and local governments that receive CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA funds directly from HUD must ensure that all activity information in IDIS is up-to-date as of the last day of the program year. This process is called end-of-year reporting.
End-of-year reporting fulfills three purposes by helping the grantee:
- Meet CAPER requirements.
- Produce accurate IDIS reports, some of which must be made available to the public.
- Ensure that HUD will have the most current information during its annual assessment of a grantee’s performance.
Caper Requirements
Grantees must submit a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). IDIS makes the CAPER process, outlined in a Memo on Reporting Instructions, more effective and efficient.
By providing detailed financial and beneficiary information, the CAPER explains how a jurisdiction is carrying out its housing and community development strategies, projects, and activities.

CDBG Funds Must be Used to Address One of Three National Objectives:
- Benefit low-to-moderate income persons;
- Prevent or eliminate slums and blighted conditions;
- Meet an urgent need
Canton Township, as an entitlement community with a population over 80,000, receives an annual allocation of CDBG from HUD. The Township re-grants some of these funds to local nonprofit agencies to accomplish community needs as identified in Canton's Consolidated Plan. The Community Development Block Grant Advisory Council reviews applications for these grants and makes funding recommendations to the Board of Trustees. Grant applications are typically due in early December for the following program year (PY).
The Consolidated Plan is a five-year plan that provides a basis and strategy for the use of the City's Federal entitlement funds, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
