The Community Development Division is responsible for the administration of two HUD formula grant programs, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs. The CDBG and HOME Programs provide the City of Harlingen with an opportunity to develop viable communities by funding activities that provide a suitable living environment, create decent affordable housing, and provide economic opportunities to/for low and moderate-income households. Funds are awarded to carry out a wide range of housing and community development activities directed towards neighborhood revitalization and the improvement of community facilities and services.
