CDBG Community Development Survey

The City of Waltham receives approximately $850,000 a year in federal funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and wants your input in how these funds are invested! Note that CDBG funding is federally required to go to projects that benefit low-moderate income residents in our community (defined as 80% of the Area Median Income or lower).


Funds can be used for a wide variety of eligible uses including supporting social service organizations, community infrastructure/capital improvements, housing rehabilitation, and economic development projects.
