Around the Agency

The CDBG Program Office provides programmatic and financial oversight grant administration and management of HUD, DOJ, DHS, and FEMA funds awarded to Cobb County. Our office is responsible for planning, implementing, and managing day to day operations for these grant programs.

The Cobb County BOC approved a grant dispersion to three Cobb County businesses at the Board of Commissioners meeting on June 25, 2019. VNDE Blockchain, Clutch Creations, and Brilliant Coworking were each awarded funds from the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Incentive Program.
