Bill overview
The Community Development Block Grant Equity Act of 2020 aims to revise how federal funds are distributed through the Community Development Block Grant program. Specifically, it changes the formula used to allocate grants to metropolitan cities and urban counties, giving greater weight to factors like poverty rates, the number of female-headed households with children, older housing stock, and housing overcrowding. The bill also adjusts the allocation process for non-entitlement areas within states, focusing on similar demographic and housing indicators.
