For Program Year 2022, the City of Naperville estimates that it will receive approximately $565,000 in CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

All applications were evaluated and scored by a multi-departmental team of staff from the Community Services Department, Naperville Police Department, Advisory Commission on Disabilities, Human Rights and Fair Housing Commission, and Senior Task Force.
