FY 2003 CDBG Estimates
The FY2002 CDBG allocations were made using population data from census 2000 and poverty and housing data from the 1990 census. For FY2003, census 2000 data will be used for all factors in the CDBG formula. While we don't know what amount of money will be appropriated for CDBG in FY2003, the once a decade updating of poverty and housing data will result in large increases and decreases in the CDBG allocations of many states, metropolitan cities and urban counties.
The 2003 estimates have been enacted.
