Community Development
Community Development Division
It is the Community Development Division’s responsibility
to administer the City’s Community Development Block Grant
Program in a manner compliant with federal and local
ordinances; planning, managing, monitoring, and evaluating
programs and projects which principally benefit low and
moderate income families and/or prevent or eliminate slums
and blight.
Each year the City receives approximately $1 million in
federal Community Block Grant (CDBG) funds. These funds
can be used for eligible activities in the areas of
housing, economic development, public facilities, social
services, and planning. All funded activities must meet
one of the following national objectives: assisting low
and moderate-income households; eliminating or preventing
slums or blight; or responding to an urgent need.
City departments and nonprofit including 501 (C) (3)
agencies that deliver eligible activities to Moline
residents are encouraged to apply. To apply for funds,
applicants must attend a workshop where the CDBG program
is explained and applications are distributed. The
workshop is usually held in January, start of the City’s
fiscal year. Agencies interested in receiving information
about the workshop should contact the CD Manager at
309-524-2042.
Citizens Advisory Council on Urban Policy (CACUP)
The Citizen’s Advisory Council on Urban Policy (CACUP)
serves as a vital informational link between the citizens
of Moline and City Hall. CACUP was created by the City
Council in 1975, and members are appointed by the Mayor to
work directly with City staff on all major aspects of the
CDBG program. CACUP advises the City on the CDBG citizen
participation process, the City's annual program
submission to HUD, and promotes neighborhood participation
in identifying needs and priorities. The committee's seven
members represent a diversified cross section of the
community and make recommendations to City officials
regarding community development.
