The County of San Bernardino Department of Community Development and Housing (CDH)
administers a wide range of programs, many of which are funded through the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) to support local government and community organizations through
capital-improvement projects, public services, housing and economic development.
These programs and projects are implemented and administered by its two
divisions: Community Development and Housing Development. CDH can be reached at (909) 388-0800.
The Community Development Division is responsible for the application and
implementation of the County's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The
territory covered under the County's CDBG program includes the Cities of
Adelanto, Barstow, Big Bear Lake, Colton, Grand Terrace, Highland, Loma Linda,
Montclair, Needles, Redlands, Twentynine Palms, Yucaipa, the Town of Yucca
Valley and the unincorporated area of the County. Each year the department
implements over 250 capital improvement and public service projects through
existing agencies and community-based organizations.
The Housing Development Division manages a variety of affordable housing
programs funded by federal, State, and local governments; and through the
leveraging of private investment. The primary purpose of these housing programs
is to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for
the residents of the County.
The Housing Development Division administers home purchasing assistance, housing
repair programs, the Emergency Shelter Program and the Fair Housing Program.
These programs provide housing assistance to eligible participants.
The Housing Division's activities are divided into three major components:
tax-exempt bonds which utilize private investment to finance both single-family
and multi-family projects, Housing Preservation which funds repair and
restoration activities, and the federally-funded HOME Program which provides a
variety of mortgage and rental assistance to low-and-moderate income families.
