Louisiana's Community Development Block Grant Program
The primary objective of the Louisiana Community Development Block Grant (LCDBG) Program is to provide assistance to units of general local government in non-entitlement areas for the development of viable communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. Non-entitlement areas are municipalities with a population of less than 50,000 and parishes with an unincorporated population of less than 200,000.
Each activity funded under the LCDBG Program must address one of the following two national objectives: Principal benefit to low and moderate income persons (at least fifty-one percent) Elimination or prevention of slums and blight.
