Public hearings are mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations to receive public input and determine the Village of Skokie's funding request.

The upcoming fiscal year will be the 44th consecutive year of CDBG funding, during which the Village has benefited from over $21.6 million in total grant allocations. The Village’s adopted five-year Consolidated Plan focuses on the CDBG national objectives of principally benefitting low/moderate-income persons(as defined by HUD) or preventing or eradicating areas of blight.
