The Community Development Block Grant Program promotes the viable development of communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income.

There are five (5) major components of the Community Development Block Grant Program.

The HOME Investment Partnership Program is designed to provide local participating jurisdictions with flexible dollars to develop affordable housing strategies specifically targeting low-income residents. The major components in our local program include:

The Emergency Shelter Grant Program provides emergency shelter assistance to eligible families with children at the Beautiful Beginnings Center. The primary purpose of this facility is to provide temporary shelter as long as the residents are making a concerted effort to achieve goals and objectives that are consistent with becoming self-sufficient. Currently the facility can house up to nine (9) families. It provides a wide range of case management services to the residents during their stay through other resource agencies both within and outside of Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government operations.
