The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), one of the longest-running programs of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, funds local community development activities such as affordable housing, anti-poverty programs, and infrastructure development. CDBG, like other block grant programs, differ from categorical grants, made for specific purposes, in that they are subject to less federal oversight and are largely used at the discretion of the state and local governments and their subgrantees.

Public Notice: City of Johns Creek
How were these funds spent in Johns Creek? Is there a report somewhere we can see?
Thank you for commenting. We've included links to the reports.
The city is encouraging affordable high density housing?? They've approached a developer for the district? what's this HUD money about? This is a quote from the report.
"As noted in previous years, the City is unable to control the price of real estate within its borders. While this may effect availability of affordable housing, the City has taken steps towards encouraging a large property owner in the development of high density housing in conjunction with a city center economic development plan.
The city dedicated $250,000 to a design study for a commercial district that is to include high density housing and easy access to jobs"
