This final rule revises the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and related Section 108 loan guarantee program regulations to make it easier for recipients to promote economic development in low- and moderate-income communities. This rule also revises the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program regulations to align the ICDBG program with the revisions being to the CDBG program regulations. This final rule also revises provisions related to Consolidated Plan and citizen participation requirements for the CDBG program and adds timelines for submissions to improve performance with respect to timeliness. HUD developed this final rule with input received from the public through comments in the Federal Register, which HUD encouraged during four public informational sessions HUD held for grantees, subrecipients, and other participants in the CDBG program on February 20, February 28, March 4, and March 7, 2024. HUD also established a website for the proposed rule that contains a 30-minute recorded overview, which received more than 1,400 views.
