The
data on this page has been updated to reflect FY07 participation.
The
Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program requires grantees to
consider the needs of persons with disabilities in planning and
carrying out activities assisted with CDBG funds. Grantees need
to report on the number of persons with disabilities that have benefited
from certain types of activities. Census 2000 provides the information
needed to fulfill this requirement.
The
CDBG program also requires information on the race and ethnicity
of the disabled population age 16 and above for certain activities.
Census 2000 Summary File Three contains this information but does
not go down to the block group level. The lowest level of geographic
detail for this information is census tract level. This information
comes from tables PCT68A through PCT68I. There is a workbook for
each state containing all the tract level geography records in the
state. The tract records are coded with the name and code numbers
of the state and county. The breakout by race in the workbook follows
the 2000 Census race reporting standards and are as follows:

Additional
guidance on how to use these data to report accomplishments in IDIS
will be provided by the Office of Block Grant Assistance. Guidance
