Governor Abigail Spanberger announced Tuesday, Oct. 6 that $22.7 million has been awarded in Community Development Block Grants across Virginia.

The funds will support 17 community projects across the Commonwealth, including new housing, downtown revitalizations and infrastructure upgrades. Together with $9.7 million in local leveraged investments, the funded projects will directly benefit Virginians. Administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development since 1982, Virginia's CDBG program allocates federal funding to strengthen the physical and economic environments in communities. This year's awards leverage approximately $19 million in new funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development combined with funds carried over from the previous year.

"Community development block grants remain one of our most effective tools to encourage durable growth in every region of the Commonwealth," Spanberger said. "By investing more than $20 million directly into our cities and counties, we are expanding affordable housing options, supporting local priorities, and building sustainable infrastructure for Virginians."
