Kingsport is an entitlement city in the Community Development Block Grant Program which serves to primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons and aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. Each year the city receives funds for housing repair and rehabilitation, public and facilities improvements and other various public service programs.
