1.2 Background
The City of Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, is one of the fastest‑growing regions in
the United States. Its appeal stems from a strong, diverse economy, top-tier educational
institutions, and exceptional healthcare facilities. A mild climate, highly skilled workforce,
and proximity to Research Triangle Park further enrich the area's innovative ecosystem.
As a 21st Century City of Innovation, Raleigh emphasizes environmental, cultural, and
economic sustainability. We employ best practices in land use, infrastructure, and
building technologies to protect and enhance neighborhoods, natural amenities, and
cultural resources. Engaging universities, local businesses, nonprofits, and citizens, the
City fosters new technology, job creation, and civic involvement, all guided by
transparency and superior customer service.
The Community Enhancement Grant Program is funded through the federal Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program administered by HUD. Eligible activities
under this grant must meet one of HUD’s National Objectives, primarily benefiting low-
and moderate-income individuals. CDBG's core objective is to foster viable communities

by delivering decent housing, suitable living environments, and economic development
opportunities especially for low- and moderate-income residents.
The program’s goals align with the City’s broader housing and community development
strategy, as outlined in Raleigh’s multi‑year Consolidated Plan.
