Community Development Administration (CDA)
The Community Development Administration (CDA) serves as the City of St. Louis’ clearinghouse for federal, state, and local funds. CDA works to implement the Mayor's economic justice agenda by funding a wide range of public and nonprofit entities to provide public services, build affordable housing, combat blight, and conduct various other community development activities.
The 2025 CDBG Funding Cycle (Non-Housing) RFP is open now (click here)!
