CDBG Projects
QVCOG manages the CDBG program on behalf of its members. Our service begins at the initial application phase, to advertising and bidding, to awarding contracts, to the final drawdown of funds and audit compliance. Our towns benefit by not having in-house staff responsible for overseeing the complexities of complying with Federal and County regulations.
The Allegheny County Department of Economic Development website contains complete information about the application process and a copy of the form that comprises the Pre-Application.
Please note that every QVCOG member community is eligible to apply for CDBG funding for “non-income based” projects such as ADA accessibility improvement projects and blight remediation. Communities may also conduct targeted household income surveys in pursuit of CDBG funding for other project types (i.e. road reconstruction, recreation, etc.). All project requests must total at least $20,000 and municipalities may submit multiple applications each year for consideration. Projects that do not receive funding in a given year may be reconsidered the following year.

Pre Application Forms
Annually the QVCOG accepts "Pre-Applications" from QVCOG communities through the month of September. Through an online form, members complete only the section relevant to their projects. Once received, the QVCOG will prepare and submit all required documentation to Allegheny County Economic Development for review and processing.
