Introduction

As an entitlement community, East Baton Rouge City-Parish (EBR) receives funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development under the following programs:

  • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
  • HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)
  • Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
  • Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG)

To receive these federal funds, EBR must develop a HUD approved Consolidated Plan every five years. This plan guides how federal funding is used for affordable housing, community development, and related projects that could elevate low-to-moderate income residents of EBR. Currently, the low-income threshold for a family of four living in EBR is $69,900.

As part of developing the Consolidated Plan, we want to hear from you! Please take this survey to share your thoughts about your community.
