DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Each year, the City of Colton cooperates with the County ECD Department to apply and receive federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

The new application process requires the County to develop a Consolidated Plan which will identify housing and non -housing needs, issues and problems in the unincorporated communities and the 17 cooperating cities.
