Community Development Division

This Division facilitates the Board’s outreach to Mobile’s neighborhoods. Through the administration of the City’s three Entitlement grants, assistance is provided to low and moderate-income residents and those with special needs. Many of the programs are carried out by community-based nonprofit organizations. Examples of the type of programs assisted include:

  •   Youth Education

  •   Elderly outreach assistance

  •   Neighborhood development

  •   New affordable home construction

  •   Job training/job placement

  •   Home rehabilitation loans

  •   Emergency shelter assistance

  •   Tenant-based rental assistance

  •   Homeowner counseling

These programs are funded under one or more of the three grant programs the Board administers on behalf of the City: Community Development Block Grant CDBG, Home Investment Partnership, and Emergency Shelter Grant ESG. More information on these grant programs from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is provided on the links below.
