Yavapai County is expected to receive approximately $1,308,728 in FY25 federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Arizona Housing Authority Regional Treasurer. Counties can also apply for up to $500,000 in FY25 or FY26 CDBG funds from the State Special Projects (SSP) account. CDBG funds must be used to benefit low-income people and communities, alleviate slums and blight, or address urgent needs.

1. Public infrastructure (e.g. water, sewer, street improvements). 2. Community facilities (e.g. parks, clinics, libraries, senior centers or youth centers). 3. Housing (e.g., owner-occupied or multifamily rehabilitation, utility connections on private land, new housing built by nonprofit organizations).
4. Public services (e.g., paying salaries for additional staff to expand Head Start programs, purchasing vans to transport people with disabilities, and equipment and rentals to start new job training programs).
