Community Development

Overview

The Division of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) provides funding and technical assistance to help Utah communities plan, build, and maintain essential public infrastructure and services. These investments directly and indirectly advance housing development, particularly across rural Utah and within the Ute and Navajo Nations.

Regional Planning Program

In partnership with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget (GOPB), the Utah League of Cities and Towns (ULCT), and each of the State's Associations of Government (AOGs), the Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB) created the Regional Planning Program to deliver technical assistance and directly support communities throughout rural Utah. Through this program, the CIB will provide stability for continuous quality planning throughout rural Utah.

The CIB provides funds for participating regional Associations of Governments (AOGs) to commit a planner whose time and responsibilities will be dedicated solely to the CIB's core mission and goals.

Revitalization Funds

The Utah Tribal Revitalization funds were created to maximize the long-term benefit of oil and gas severance taxes derived from land held in trust by the Federal Government for the Ute (UBRF) and Navajo (NRF) tribes. The funds were created to promote cooperation and coordination between the state, its political subdivisions, and the impacted tribes.
