Fulton County annually receives approximately $3.8 million in Federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) programs.
These funds can be used to provide improvements and services that benefit all Fulton County citizens, with the primary intention being to improve the living conditions of low- and moderate-income people.

Public review and comment is required prior to decisions on project funding by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners.
