BEDI grant funds are used in economic development projects and increase the economic opportunities for those with low-and moderate-incomes. BEDI assists in the creation or retention of businesses and jobs, as well as helping to increase the local tax base. In 2006, HUD awarded $10 million in BEDI grants, with a maximum cap of $1 million per award. For more information, please visit HUD Economic Development Programs and also
