The recently passed 21st Century Road to Housing Act contains adjustments to the Community Development Block Grant program (CDBG) which is used the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to incentivize new housing development.
Analysts agree that those areas that need new home construction the most, namely the Northeast and Midwest have the most to gain from CDBG, specifically these metro areas:
- Milwaukee, WI
- Detroit, MI
- Toledo, OH
- Newark, NJ
- Cleveland, OH
- Buffalo, NY
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Jersey City, NJ
- St. Louis, MO
- Minneapolis, MN
