What we do

The primary goal of the Office of Community Development (OCD) is to improve the quality of life for the Parish citizens. It consists of three programs that all work together to achieve this goal:

  • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
  • HOME Investment Partnerships Program
  • Emergency Solutions Grant Program

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)

The Community Development Block Grant 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.

Public Survey

We are seeking public input for our 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. This survey will assist in documenting the housing and non-housing special needs of Terrebonne Parish citizens. The needs surveyed will be included in our 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan submission to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Your assistance to determine the needs of our community is critical. Your voice matters - take the survey!

HOME Investment Partnerships 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.

Emergency Solutions Grant Program

The Emergency Solutions Grant Program provides emergency shelter assistance to eligible families at the Beautiful Beginnings Center.
