Community Development
Community Development prepares the annual HUD grant application, implements the housing repair program, coordinates other HUD funded development/improvement projects and serves the Wyoming Community Development Committee.
Community Development (CD) receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Federal Department of Housing Urban Development (HUD) and uses them to support a wide range of programs targeted at low and moderate income residents.
Every five years, CD staff researches and analyzes the City's neighborhoods related to areas of problems and needs concerning low-income concentrations, persons with special needs, housing and commercial structure deterioration, recreational requirements and other neighborhood issues. Following this analysis, the Community Development Citizens Committee decides on a Comprehensive Housing and Community Development Strategy to guide the use of the HUD funds.
For over 35 years Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds have been used for housing rehabilitation loans. To learn more about the 0% and 3% interest loans available, please visit the Housing Rehabilitation Loans link.
