Wicomico County Executive Julie Giordano today announced that Wicomico County has been awarded $300,000 in State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) to support the County’s ongoing housing rehabilitation efforts.
The funding will allow the County to continue providing critical housing rehabilitation assistance to eligible residents, helping improve the safety, quality, and longevity of homes throughout Wicomico County.
“This investment will directly benefit our residents by helping preserve existing housing stock and ensuring safe, livable homes for families across our community,” said County Executive Julie Giordano. “Housing rehabilitation is a vital component of neighborhood stability, and we are grateful to the DHCD for their continued partnership and support.”
The State Community Development Block Grant Program is administered by DHCD through its Division of Neighborhood Revitalization. The award is contingent upon the execution of grant agreements between the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), DHCD, and Wicomico County.
CDBG funds are used statewide to support projects that benefit low- and moderate-income residents, address community development needs, and strengthen local neighborhoods. Additional details regarding program implementation and timelines will be provided following the execution of the grant agreements.
For more information about Wicomico County’s housing rehabilitation programs, residents are encouraged to contact the County’s Housing and Community Development staff.
