The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a federal grant program administered by the U.S Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). It provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties based on population data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The Town of Hilton Head Island became a CDBG entitlement community in 2015.
Notice is hereby given that the Town of Hilton Head Island prepared a DRAFT 2025 Citizen Participation Plan required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The plan sets forth policies and procedures for citizen participation in the development of any consolidated plan, subsequent amendment(s) to the consolidated plan, and performance report.
A public meeting to obtain comments on the 2025 Citizen Participation Plan will be held Thursday, May 22, 2025 at 6:00 pm, at the Hilton Head Island Town Hall, Benjamin M.
