Community
Development
Under the direction of the ACIA’s Board of Commissioners,
and guidance from County Administration, the Office of Community
Development administers several programs on behalf of the County
and its participating municipalities. Those programs include the
Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and the Community Development
Block Grant Program (CDBG). Funds are directed to projects that
are designed to meet the goal of the office, which is: “to
enhance the quality of Atlantic County and its communities by assisting
in the provision of public and community facilities and housing,
leading to an improved living environment and expanded economic
opportunities principally for persons of low to moderate income.”
Programs funded through HOME include our Owner
Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program, the Atlantic
County Homebuyers
Program, the Atlantic City Down
Payment Assistance Program and the creation of affordable housing program.
