Bill Summary

Relative to community block grants. Housing.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program in Massachusetts. It requires the state to only consider ranking and distributing CDBG funds to communities that have been or would have been ranked at or below 16 using the existing evaluation criteria. This change would occur every four years, starting in 2018, with the existing CDBG funding criteria continuing to apply for the following five-year period from 2019 to 2023. The bill aims to ensure that CDBG funds are available to certain communities with high-value projects that meet their local needs, even if they may not be the most economically disadvantaged communities.
