Repeal Community Development Block Grants Act of 2025

# Summary of HR 1133: Repeal Community Development Block Grants Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would eliminate the Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) program if passed. The CDBG program distributes federal funding to states and local communities to support housing, infrastructure, and economic development projects. By repealing this program, the federal government would stop providing this source of funding to cities and counties for community improvement initiatives. **Who It Affects** Local governments, nonprofits, and residents in communities across the country would be affected. Cities and rural areas currently rely on CDBG funding for projects like affordable housing construction, infrastructure repairs, and business development programs.

Without these grants, communities would need to find alternative funding sources or reduce planned projects. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. No action has been taken on the proposal at this time.
