H.R. 1133: Repeal Community Development Block Grants Act of 2025

This bill, titled the Repeal Community Development Block Grants Act of 2025, aims to eliminate certain federal grant programs that are part of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. Specifically, it proposes the following key changes:

Abolition of Grants

The bill repeals Section 101 and Sections 103 through 122 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. These sections cover the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which provides federal funding to local governments for various community development projects. These projects may include:

• Infrastructure improvements (such as roads and public facilities)
• Housing rehabilitation
• Economic development initiatives
• Public services for low- and moderate-income individuals and families

By repealing these sections, the bill effectively abolishes the CDBG program and the specific types of grants that have been used by local governments and organizations for funding community development efforts.

Effective Date

The changes proposed by this bill are set to take effect on October 1, 2025, meaning that any relevant programs funded through these grants would cease to operate after this date.

Potential Impacts

The abolition of the CDBG program could have a range of effects, including:

• Reduced funding for local community development projects
• Impact on local infrastructure improvements and maintenance
• Potential challenges for low- and moderate-income individuals seeking housing support and public services
• Changes to economic development initiatives that rely on federal funding
