The first eight years of CDBG provided Chicago with almost three-quarters of a billion dollars. At the outset, the city executive, headed by Mayor Richard J. Daley, took control of CDBG planning and allocation, despite the efforts of the “machine's” opponents to use CDBG's housing assistance and citizen participation requirements as levers for political reform and social change. The city executive continued in firm control even after the Carter administration took office determined to reverse inherited New Federalism policies. City hall opponents found that HUD's more assertive policies on housing assistance, citizen participation, and targeting had little effect on the executive's ability to decide how and where to spend CDBG funds. The dominant role of the executive also persisted after Mayor Daley's death, although Mayor Jane Byrne (elected in 1979) shifted CDBG decisionmaking from operating city departments to the mayor's budget office
