(Charleston, W.

The application is available online and is due by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.

MOECD will host an application workshop for the 2024 – 2025 CDBG application December 7 at 1 p.m. at the City Service Center Conference Room, 915 Quarrier St, Charleston, WV 25301. The workshop will cover requirements for funding, eligible activities, and a thorough discussion of the application process.

Eligible activities must meet one or more of the three HUD objectives:

benefiting low- and moderate-income persons
preventing or eliminating slums or blight
meeting urgent needs
