Abstract

The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 marked a major change of direction for federal urban policies in America. The primary object of the Community Development Block Grant Program was the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. This study examined ten cities over a three-year period from 1979 to 1982, to determine the impact of CDBG. The findings suggest that greater involvement of neighborhood groups increases CDBG impacts.
