Primary funding for housing and community development activities comes from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Redding Redevelopment Agency's (RRA) 20% Housing Set-A-Side. As an entitlement community, Redding is not only charged with developing its own programs and funding priorities, but must also give priority to activities which benefit low and moderate-income persons.

A short overview of the City's HCD funding resources is highlighted below.

Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG):
To facilitate decent housing, suitable living environment, and economic opportunities for persons of low- and moderate income.

Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME):
To strengthen public/private partnerships and to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing with primary attention to rental housing for very low-income and low-income families.

Redding Redevelopment Agency Housing Set-a-Side:
To improve living conditions for low- and moderate-income households; prevent or eliminate blight related to deteriorated residential structures; create home ownership opportunities; and to improve and preserve existing residential neighborhoods.
