Grant Programs

Community Development Block Grant

In 1997, the City of Victorville became an entitlement city with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD provides annual grant on a formula basis to entitlement communities to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward neighborhood revitalization, economic development and improved community facilities and services.

Entitlement communities, in consultation with local residents, develop their own programs and funding priorities. All CDBG activities must meet at least one of the following national objectives: benefit low-and moderate-income persons; aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight; or meet certain urgent community development needs. Some eligible activities include:

Acquisition of real property
Rehabilitation of residential and nonresidential properties
Provision of public facilities and improvements, such as water and sewer, streets, and neighborhood centers
Public services
Activities relating to energy conservation and renewable energy
Clearance
Homeownership assistance
Assistance to nonprofits and for-profit businesses for special economic development activities

HOME Investment Partnerships Program

In 2003 the City of Victorville and the Town of Apple Valley formed a HOME consortium in order to meet the threshold of obtaining HOME entitlement status through HUD. Participating jurisdictions may use HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds for a variety of housing activities, depending on local housing needs. Eligible uses of funds include tenant-based rental assistance; housing rehabilitation; assistance to homebuyers; acquisition; and new construction of affordable housing. Participating jurisdictions must also set aside at least 15 percent of their annual allocations for housing to be owned, developed, or sponsored by eligible community-based nonprofit organizations designated as Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO).
