MONCKS CORNER, S.C. – (Friday, December 31, 2021) – Berkeley County announces the availability of applications for the 2022 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Applications will be available starting Saturday, January 1, 2022.
This year, funds will cover projects that improve access to public facilities and reduce slum and blight in residential areas. Berkeley County receives CDBG funds annually from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to fund activities that primarily benefit low-and moderate- income (LMI) residents of Berkeley County. These funds are based on a formula for entitled cities and counties. Requests involving federal funds must serve low- and moderate-income areas or persons in unincorporated areas of Berkeley County. Read more about the program HERE.
All applications for CDBG funding must be submitted to and received by the Berkeley County Finance Department by 4 p.m. on Monday, January 31, 2022. Applications can be found on the Berkeley County website HERE.
It is strongly recommended that all applicants visit the website as soon as possible to allow time to sufficiently complete the applications and request any technical assistance.
