The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a vital resource for Manchester, allowing the town to dedicate funding to projects and activities that directly benefit residents, particularly those from low- and moderate-income households. This program, which is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), supports a variety of initiatives with the goal of improving housing, enhancing public facilities and infrastructure, and creating more opportunities for the community.
