2026 Kentucky CDBG Public Services (Recovery Kentucky)
Kentucky DLG CDBG Public Services funding for cities and counties supporting existing Recovery Kentucky centers. The opportunity is open, but official DLG pages currently conflict between January 30 and February 1, 2027; exact closing time and time zone are not published.
Funding$2.6 million statewide 2026 Public Services (Recovery Kentucky) allocation. Existing-facility Public Services requests are capped at $200,000. The current Public Services section does not state a universal fixed match percentage; other feasible public/private funding must be analyzed and funding commitments included when applicable.
DeadlineVERIFICATION HOLD: DLG's current Federal Grant Application Deadlines page lists Public Services through January 30, 2027, while the current Recovery Kentucky program page and controlling 2026 HUD CDBG Guidelines list applications through February 1, 2027. No exact cutoff clock time or time zone is published. Do not select the later date or initiate deadline-dependent ORIGINAL outreach until DLG resolves the conflict.

Required next actionObtain authoritative DLG clarification of the controlling Public Services closing date, cutoff time, and time zone. For any applicant-specific work, confirm an eligible Kentucky city/county applicant tied to an existing Recovery Kentucky center, CDBG national-objective compliance, citizen-participation requirements, signed/dated/attested authorizing resolution, funding commitment documentation when applicable, eClearinghouse review, HUD-2880, project need, fiscal responsibility, successful Recovery Kentucky model implementation, and analysis of other feasible funding. Before ORIGINAL outreach, clear verified business Contact, Email_Opt_Out, permanent-bounce, Account/Contact/Deal/Atlas_Email_Queue, authoritative send-history, and cross-lane deduplication gates.
Broad Eligibility
Kentucky cities and counties are the CDBG applicant class, excluding specified entitlement jurisdictions. Public Services (Recovery Kentucky) supports operational costs for existing Recovery Kentucky substance-use recovery centers. The project must meet a CDBG national objective and current DLG program requirements.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 90/100. High-relevance Kentucky substance-use recovery operating-support opportunity with a $2.6 million statewide allocation and up to $200,000 for an existing-facility Public Services request. N9+ Fit 0/100 because the verified program purpose is operating support for existing Recovery Kentucky centers and the current materials do not establish a clinical-device, telehealth-platform, or equipment-procurement pathway. QC Healthcare Fit 20/100 conditional for legitimate recovery-service support, but no direct vendor procurement role is established. The current deadline conflict requires fail-closed treatment for ORIGINAL outreach.
The Kentucky Department for Local Government (DLG) is accepting applications for the 2026 CDBG Public Services (Recovery Kentucky) program to support operational costs of existing Recovery Kentucky substance-abuse recovery centers. The opportunity is currently open, but DLG’s official pages publish conflicting closing dates: the Recovery Kentucky program page says February 1, 2027, while DLG’s current Federal Grant Application Deadlines page lists January 30, 2027 for Public Services. Neither source publishes an exact closing clock time or time zone.
Applicant and project eligibility
DLG identifies Kentucky cities and counties as the CDBG applicant class, subject to the program’s entitlement-community exclusions. Recovery Kentucky centers themselves are the service sites and beneficiaries of the Public Services program rather than the governmental applicant class. A proposed project must satisfy a federal CDBG national objective and comply with applicable CDBG requirements.
Funding
DLG’s 2026 program materials allocate $2,600,000 to Public Services (Recovery Kentucky). The indexed 2026 DLG guidelines list an individual grant ceiling of $200,000 for existing facilities and indicate that an applicant with an existing Recovery Kentucky center may submit one application in this program area. Applicants should use the current DLG application package and confirm any updated ceiling or submission instruction before filing.
Purpose and allowable direction
The program supports operational costs for existing Recovery Kentucky centers serving people with substance-use histories, with particular emphasis on people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and people referred by the justice system. This is an operating-support CDBG opportunity, not a general telehealth or medical-device grant.
Atlas strategy
Atlas Opportunity Score: 90/100. The opportunity is highly relevant for Kentucky counties or eligible cities that host an existing Recovery Kentucky center and can document a qualifying CDBG national objective. N9+ Fit Score: 5/100. Nonagon N9+ should not be forced into this opportunity because the controlling purpose is operational support for established substance-use recovery centers rather than remote physical examination technology. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not the governmental applicant class and is not being advanced as a direct prime.
Required next action
Do not initiate new applicant outreach until DLG resolves the January 30 versus February 1 deadline discrepancy and the exact closing time and time zone are verified. In the meantime, Atlas may continue non-send source verification and applicant mapping without creating duplicate records or implying that the later date controls.
