Public notice of proposed amendments to the State of Tennessee’s Annual Action Plans for the Community Development Block Grant – Recovery Housing Program (CDBG-RHP) and Community Development Grant – Coronavirus Program (CDBG-CV)

The Community Development Block Grant – Recovery Housing Program (CDBG-RHP) provides grants for the development and/or rehabilitation of permanent or transitional housing for people in recovery from a substance use disorder (SUD). The Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus program (CDBG-CV) provided funds for the State of Tennessee to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including responding to food insecurity and making updates to parks and open spaces.

The State of Tennessee plans to amend CDBG-RHP’s methods of distribution in several annual action plans. The proposed amendment would allow a maximum grant award of $1,000,000, would provide an ongoing—rather than designated—application period, and would require program applicants to meet a 50 percent threshold in application score to be eligible to receive the funds. These amendments will enable the State to more effectively and efficiently deploy program funds to provide housing for Tennesseans in recovery.

The State of Tennessee also plans to amend the method of distribution for the CDBG-CV program, which will create a plan for reallocating program funding recaptured from completed projects. These amendments would increase the maximum allowable allocation for parks and open spaces activities and the maximum allowable allocation for addressing food insecurity activities, as well as set a prioritization for the order in which recaptured funds would be reallocated to eligible applicants and activities.

Tennesseans are encouraged to review and make comments about these proposed amendments from October 24 – November 23, 2025.
