H.R. 1133 would eliminate Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), a federal program that has provided funding to cities, counties, and states since 1974 for local infrastructure, housing, economic development, and social services projects. The bill would repeal the primary sections of the Housing and Community Development Act that authorize these grants, effectively ending the program. This would affect thousands of communities across the country that rely on this federal funding for local development projects. The legislation would take effect on October 1, 2025, giving communities a limited transition period before the grants are eliminated. The bill includes no replacement funding or alternative support mechanisms for the affected local governments and nonprofits that currently depend on these grants.
