The mission of CDFA (Community Development Finance Authority) in administering the State of New Hampshire's annual federal allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds is to support the development of viable communities through the improvement of economic opportunities and community revitalization, particularly for persons of low and moderate income. It aims to directly award resources to cities, towns, and counties in New Hampshire to fulfill these objectives.
The NH Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): Housing and Public Facilities Grants program is geared towards the development of viable communities through the improvement of economic opportunities and community revitalization, primarily for low and moderate-income individuals. The program awards grants to New Hampshire’s cities, towns, and counties, which may then sub-grant to nonprofits or other entities for executing the projects. The funding focuses on two main areas: Public Facilities Grants, supporting improvements in water and sewer systems, shelters, municipal infrastructure, handicapped access, and community centers; and Housing Grants, aimed at boosting affordable housing and rehabilitation projects for the benefit of low- and moderate-income residents.
