Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are federal funds administered by the PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) to finance projects benefitting low and moderate-income individuals. Residents are invited to comment or ask questions concerning current community needs, past uses of CDBG funds, and how 2024 funds should be used.

Conshohocken would be responsible for the replacement of any demolished low-moderate income housing units that displace families or individuals due to a CDBG-funded project.
