The Community Development Block Grant (CDGB) Program provides grants on a formula basis to develop viable urban communities by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low-and moderate-income persons. The program was designed to reinforce several important values and principles of community development:
-
CDBG's flexibility empowers communities to design and implement strategies tailored to their own needs and priorities.
-
CDBG's emphasis on consolidated planning expands and strengthens partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector in enhancing community development.
-
CDBG's technical assistance activities and set-aside for grantees builds the capacity of these partners.
The Neighborhood Preservation Program (NPP) is designed to build a stronger, more equitable New Jersey. NPP targets neighborhoods that are threatened but viable and provide designated neighborhoods with technical assistance, proven strategies, and grants.​
​
Core NPP strategies are to create sustainable partnerships; build on neighborhood assets and maximize impact by providing grant funding to assist in the revitalization of areas in decline.
​
This program is an area-specific program in partnership with the Hollywood Area that encompasses the businesses located between South Grove to Steuben Streets. An overall comprehensive cooperative approach that includes the community and promotes a unified effort has proven to be a successful strategy.
