City and county governments administer various housing and community development funding programs. Although some of these programs are common to most all municipalities (i.e. Community Development Block Grants) most local governments also make available a number of other programs to assist nonprofits to build affordable housing and provide other community development services.

These programs are most often administered by the Community Development Department, although the name of this department may vary. Below is a list of departments that administer housing and community development programs for selected localities. If your locality is not listed here, go to Local and State Government Agencies on the Web.
