The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program assists in the development
of healthy and viable communities by improving both the living conditions
and economic opportunities for individuals, primarily those that are low-
and moderate-income. CDBG coordinates and collaborates with various government
agencies and nonprofit groups to carry out locally based projects. Staff
conducts regional workshops and conferences to assist individuals in gaining
an understanding of CDBG guidelines and parameters. Grants are provided
to rural communities (outside of Clark County, Reno and Sparks) for public
facilities/services, planning, economic development and housing.
Historically, CDBG has funded the following types of projects: water and
sewer systems; preliminary engineering reports; senior citizens centers;
community centers; emergency vehicles and stations; short and long range
plans; rehabilitation of owner-occupied single family homes; infrastructure
improvements to industrial parks; business loans to for-profit businesses,
etc. Project selection is made through a nine-member advisory committee,
representative of the 27 eligible counties and incorporated cities. The
advisory committee meets twice a year to review applications and make
funding recommendations.

The Board for Financing Water Projects reviews and decides requests for

ranking of water systems which need funding and decides requests for loans
for water system construction under the SB 302 State Revolving Loan Fund
(NRS 445.200 et seq.). In addition to the these activities, the Board
reviews and decides requests for loans for the management, control, delivery,
use or distribution of water pursuant to NRS 349.935 et seq. The Board
decides on grants for water conservation projects and hooking up wells
to regional water systems in "designated" basins. Some $50 million
in grants are available and about $20 million of projects have already
been approved. Grants require at least a 15 percent match.
