Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
General
The City of Royal Oak’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is authorized under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended. The primary objective of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, is the development of viable urban communities. These viable communities are achieved by providing the following, principally for persons of low and moderate income: decent housing; a suitable living environment; and expanded economic opportunities. To achieve these goals, the CDBG regulations set forth eligible activities and the national objectives that each activity must meet. As recipients of CDBG funds, grantees are charged with ensuring these requirements are met.
Due to population thresholds, the City of Royal Oak’s CDBG program is regarded as an Entitlement Program under the federal CDBG program. As a recipient of federal CDBG funds, the city is free to select those activities that best meet the needs of the community, in accordance with the national objectives and requirements of the CDBG program. Since 2005, the city’s Rehabilitation Board of Appeals has been advising the City Commission on annual requests for CDBG funds and recommends CDBG related priorities to the City Commission. Day-to-day program administration functions are directed by the city’s Planning Department.

Environmental Review Record (ERR)
The Housing & Urban Development Act of 1974, as amended, requires that applicants for funds under the CDBG program undertake an environmental assessment for activities.
The following environmental review follows the format established by the HUD publication, "Environmental Review Guide for Community Development Block Grant Programs" and other applicable HUD guidance documents. The goal of this particular assessment is to provide the basis for a "finding" as to whether the request for funds for the activities:
- is not an action which may significantly affect the quality of the human environment; or
- is an action which may significantly affect and therefore, will require an Environmental Impact Statement.
