Down payment assistance programs provide funding to help low- and moderate-income homebuyers cover upfront costs like down payments and closing fees. These programs are typically administered at the state or local level using federal funds like CDBG or HOME.

Public service grants fund a wide range of community services — from food assistance and job training to childcare and senior services — that benefit low-income residents. CDBG and CSBG are the primary federal sources for this type of programming.
Affordable housing development programs fund the construction or substantial rehabilitation of housing units for low- and moderate-income households. These programs are often layered with other federal, state, and local funding sources to make projects financially viable.
Housing asset management involves monitoring and maintaining the long-term performance of a housing portfolio, including properties funded through CDBG, HOME, or other federal programs. Grantees are required to ensure assisted properties remain affordable and in compliance throughout their useful life.
Tenant based rental assistance provides short- or medium-term rental subsidies directly to eligible households, allowing them to secure housing in the private market. Unlike project-based assistance, the subsidy follows the tenant rather than the unit.
Housing rehabilitation programs fund repairs and improvements to existing owner-occupied or rental housing to bring it up to health, safety, and habitability standards. These programs are a core use of CDBG and HOME funding for many grantees.
Home modification programs fund accessibility improvements — such as ramps, grab bars, and widened doorways — for elderly or disabled residents who need to safely remain in their homes. These programs are often targeted to low-income households who cannot afford modifications on their own.
Emergency home repair programs provide fast-turnaround funding to address urgent health and safety hazards in owner-occupied homes, such as failed heating systems, roof failures, or unsafe electrical conditions. These programs are designed to stabilize households facing immediate risk.
The Weatherization Assistance Program helps low-income households reduce energy costs by funding energy efficiency improvements like insulation, air sealing, and HVAC upgrades. It is administered by the U.S. Department of Energy and delivered through a network of state and local agencies.
Lead hazard remediation programs fund the identification and removal of lead-based paint hazards in older housing, protecting children and families from lead exposure. HUD's Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes programs are the primary federal funding sources for this work.
Property acquisition and demolition programs fund the purchase and clearance of blighted, vacant, or unsafe structures to prepare land for future community uses. These activities are an eligible use of CDBG funding and are often part of broader neighborhood revitalization strategies.
Public infrastructure programs fund improvements to streets, sidewalks, water and sewer systems, parks, and other community facilities that serve low- and moderate-income areas. CDBG is one of the most commonly used funding sources for these types of projects.
A community land trust is a nonprofit model in which an organization retains ownership of land while selling or leasing the structures on it to low- and moderate-income residents. This approach keeps housing permanently affordable by removing land from the speculative market.
Land banks are governmental or quasi-governmental entities that acquire, manage, and repurpose vacant, abandoned, and tax-delinquent properties. Their goal is to return problem properties to productive use in ways that benefit the surrounding community.
Commercial facade improvement programs provide funding to property and business owners to rehabilitate the exterior appearance of buildings in commercial districts. These programs are often used as part of broader economic development or neighborhood revitalization efforts.
Economic development programs fund a range of activities designed to create jobs, support businesses, and strengthen local economies in low- and moderate-income communities. Eligible activities under CDBG include loans to businesses, infrastructure supporting job creation, and technical assistance to entrepreneurs.
Micro-enterprise programs provide capital and technical assistance to small businesses with five or fewer employees, often targeting low-income owners or businesses operating in underserved areas. CDBG is a common funding source for these programs at the local level.
The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) programs fund outreach, shelter, rapid rehousing, and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Both programs are administered by HUD and flow through states and entitlement communities to local service providers.
