C3: Physical Conditions and Quality of Life

Foster a suitable living environment in communities by improving physical conditions and quality of life.

Other Information:

Decent public services and amenities, safe, clean streets, adequate infrastructure, and homes free from environmental hazards are among the many factors that influence quality of life for members of a community. A range of HUD programs target funds to address such quality-of-life issues in low-income communities and households. For example, local communities often use CDBG funds for roads, sewers, and other infrastructure investments, or for community centers, parks, and other assets that help to strengthen and revitalize their low-income neighborhoods. HUD also funds housing development and rehabilitation through CDBG, HOME, Youth build, and Lead Hazard Control grants, and provides FHA mortgage insurance to make private capital more available for homeownership, affordable rental housing, and healthcare facilities.
