What is a CDBG Program Manager?

CDBG Program Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing the administration of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, a federal initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Their main duties include planning, implementing, and monitoring projects that use CDBG funds to support community development, affordable housing, and neighborhood revitalization. They ensure compliance with federal regulations, manage budgets, and often coordinate with local governments, non-profits, and community stakeholders. Their role is crucial in ensuring that CDBG-funded projects meet community needs and regulatory requirements.
