The Department of Community Development coordinates the City's housing resources and various housing assistance programs, and promotes affordable housing by working with investors and community housing development organizations. The department provides assistance with the abatement of lead in older homes. The department administers the City's entitlement programs from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

CDBG Funds for Acquisition

The current and previous Annual Action Plans include budgeted CDBG funds to be used at the department’s discretion for limited acquisition of blighted properties in Southwest Central Durham, Northeast Central Durham and Southside when the elimination of those blighting conditions will advance neighborhood revitalization objectives. Acquisition funds may be awarded to non-profit and other development entities. For information, contact Assistant Director Larry Jarvis.
