The Idaho Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) application handbook and grant administration manual contain guidelines and forms essential for carrying out a successful ICDBG project.
Whether you are preparing to submit an application or administering an awarded grant, it is important to use the most current versions of these materials to ensure you are complying with state and federal regulations that govern the ICDBG program.
