Description
The City of East Lansing is accepting applications to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.

- Providing public services (e.g., organizatons that provide childcare, health care, job training, services for senior citizens, etc.)
- Financing rehabilitation costs for low- to moderate-income households.
