Some local organizations within Cincinnati are designated by the City of Cincinnati as CBDOs due to their organizational composition, neighborhood-serving activities. These CBDOs can work with Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) funding provided by the City from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).

​

Goal​

 

CBDOs are provided certain flexibility when undertaking neighborhood revitalization efforts that are not available to the City or other organizations when using CDBG funds. Some of these expanded activities include new construction of housing (usually limited to rehabilitation) or activities that increase employment opportunities like job training.  

 

Who Can Apply?

​​

• Community Development Non-Profits & Otherwise Eligible Neighborhood Groups

​

Overview of Process

 

When considering an organization for CDBG funding, the City may evaluate the organization for certification as a CDBO through a formal application process.

​

Timeline​

​

Applications are received on an ad hoc basis throughout the calendar year.
