COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
PROGRAM YEAR 2025

The City of Bayonne has prepared a draft 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant Program, which is funded by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Community Development Block Grant for Fiscal Year 2025 allocation is estimated at $1,300,000. Once the official 2025 HUD allocations are announced, if the City needs to adjust its budget to match the official allocation, they will do so proportionally across the entire budget. The City’s proposed plan allocates funding for housing rehabilitation, improvements to public facilities and support for public services that benefit low- and moderate-income residents, seniors and disabled adults.

In order to obtain the views of residents, public agencies and other interested parties, Bayonne will place the 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan on public display beginning May 16, 2025 through June 16, 2025, on the City’s website at the following address: www.bayonnenj.org and in person at Bayonne City Hall, 630 Avenue C in Bayonne. This document will be available to the public for a period of no less than 30 days.
