Title: PROCLAMATION - NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK
Summary
The City of Delray Beach is proclaiming the week of April 6-10, 2026, as National Community Development Week to celebrate the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which has funded local initiatives since 1988. Established by Congress in 1974, the CDBG program provides essential funding for housing rehabilitation, public services, infrastructure, and economic development, particularly benefiting low- and moderate-income residents. Over the last five years, Delray Beach has received over $2.3 million in CDBG funds, facilitating community improvements and supporting vulnerable populations. This proclamation highlights the significance of CDBG in fostering equitable development and improving neighborhood quality.
