The City of Ark City says in a dedicated effort to revitalize homes in Arkansas City, officials seek to inform residents about the available funding opportunities through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) that funds housing improvement projects to benefit low-income households in a target area. The CDBG program is facilitated and administered by the Kansas Department of Commerce Community Development Division and is a federal grant program.
