South Carolina Department of Commerce,  Division of Community Grant Programs administers funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)  for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program,  which is designed to assist counties and units of local government in meeting community development needs. The staff of the Lower Savannah Council of Government's Community Development Department administers two specific types of CDBG programs:

1. Community Investment grants; which include housing rehabilitation, water and sewer, and other community needs. These grants are competitive and have a required match.
2. Economic Development grants; which assist companies with infrastructure needs in order to create new jobs and usually average from $3,000 to $10,000 per job.

In addition to the CDBG projects, the Community Development Department staff administers Housing Grants funded by the South Carolina Housing Finance and Development Authority
