The CDBG program provides federal funding to small cities and counties to improve infrastructure, support community facilities such as senior centers and community centers, and strengthen local economies in ways that primarily benefit low-to-moderate income persons while addressing local health and safety concerns.
Grants are available in several categories and can be utilized for a wide range of community development initiatives.

The State of Missouri has revised its Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) and is seeking input on the amended plan. The draft plan is now open for public comment until August 28, 2026 at 5 p.m.

The amendments update and clarify the State’s citizen participation requirements to reflect current HUD regulations, program administration, public notice procedures, public hearing requirements, virtual participation opportunities, language access requirements, and other policy and procedural revisions.
Visit DED's website to review the CPP. To submit formal comment, please contact DED's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program team at mocdbg@ded.mo.gov.
