The Rural Community Development budget houses the state's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program on behalf of small cities and rural counties in Nevada. The goal of the CDBG Program is to build rural Nevada communities where current and future generations can choose to live healthy, productive, and prosperous lives. Through collaboration with various government agencies, businesses and non-profit groups, the CDBG Program assists rural communities to remain economically viable by improving living conditions and providing economic opportunities through the administration of Nevada's share of the federal Community Development Block Grant, as well as providing training and technical assistance. The CDBG Program helps provide communities with adequate infrastructure, suitable housing and living environments, and encourages sustainable community and economic development. Activities are focused primarily for the benefit of low-to-moderate income persons. Statutory/Regulatory Authority: NRS Chapter 231, 24 CFR Part 570, 24 CFR Part 91.
