The primary objective of the Community Development Block Grant Program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income.

Accordingly, the majority of the City of El Paso’s CDBG projects are designed to contribute to the revitalization of low and moderate income neighborhoods.

Improving housing and neighborhood facilities such as parks, community centers, senior citizen centers, libraries, and streets, help revitalize neighborhoods by assuring needed services and strengthening sense of Community pride.
