The City of Baytown and Mayor Johnson recently recognized April 21-25 as Community Development Week in Baytown. This week highlights the impact of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding by raising awareness to the public about the program’s vital role in enhancing community well-being and fostering economic growth.
For over 50 years, the CDBG program has been an essential resource for communities, helping local governments implement programs and activities that address critical needs. In Baytown, CDBG funds support initiatives, including the Community Development Housing Programs, a transportation service for seniors, disabled individuals, and domestic violence survivors, as well as programs offering workshops for students to prepare them for a job or college. Additionally, a wide range of other CDBG-funded programs are designed to strengthen community partnerships and improve quality of life for residents.
