Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 provides for a loan guarantee component of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program (Section 108) provides communities with a source of financing for economic development, housing rehabilitation, public facilities, and other physical development projects, including improvements to increase their resilience against natural disasters. The funds can be used by a designated public entity to undertake eligible projects, or, alternatively, can be loaned to a third party developer to undertake the projects. This flexibility makes it one of the most potent and important public investment tools that HUD offers to local governments.</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>a3b29ee4ac364f469a8ebe4f1c54541b_20</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>HUD-eGIS Geospatial Data Storefront</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Section 108 Grantee Areas [United States]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>United States</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2023-08-11</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
