Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
CDBG Block Grants provide funding for city infrastructure and improvements under Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity guidelines and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The city of Buckeye has been a recipient of CDBG for a number of years through a cooperative agreement with Maricopa County, which guarantees the city will be considered for CDBG funds from the entitlement the county receives through HUD (Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development).
Working together, Maricopa County reviews Buckeye’s CDBG application for eligible activities and makes a recommendation to the CDAC (Community Development Advisory Committee) for funding. Projects are considered eligible if they comply with the Maricopa County 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan.
CDBG Awarded Projects
FY 2021-2022 Senior Center Kitchen 1500 square foot addition located at 201 E. Center Ave.
The Buckeye Senior Center provides meals for both Congregate and Home Delivered Meals. The project was much needed due to the kitchen being at full capacity. The request for the expansion and remodel was to avoid unserved seniors in the upcoming years. The construction project added the much needed additional space for food prep areas, larger dry goods food storage, walk-in refrigerator and freezer. The kitchen expansion scope of work include but was not limited to mechanical, plumbing, utilities (electrical, lighting, fire protection), furniture, fixtures and equipment in the kitchen (refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, dishwasher).
