GrantKentucky CDBG Housing Program 2026-2027
Atlas Opportunity Score82/100
FundingUp to $1,000,000 per individual Housing grant. The 2026 guidelines show an estimated $4,570,502 Housing program allocation. Priority I projects have at least 25% match of CDBG funds requested; Priority II at least 10%; Priority III may have less than 10%.
DeadlineOfficial-source conflict. The current DLG Housing program page and the controlling 2026 CDBG Guidelines state February 1, 2027. DLG's current Federal Grant Application Deadlines page separately lists Housing through January 30, 2027. Neither source publishes an exact cutoff clock time or time zone. Atlas uses January 30, 2027 as the conservative operational deadline pending DLG clarification and keeps this record in verification hold for deadline-dependent action.
Required next actionBefore applicant-specific ORIGINAL outreach or filing, obtain authoritative DLG clarification of the Housing deadline conflict. Operationally plan to complete submission no later than January 30, 2027 unless DLG resolves the conflict. Eligible Kentucky non-entitlement cities and counties should meanwhile define the qualifying housing project, document the CDBG national objective and need, and assemble the 2026 Housing Application, detailed cost estimate, homeowners list, citizen-participation record, authorizing resolution, funding commitments, eClearinghouse endorsement, historic-preservation review, HUD-2880 and other project-specific requirements.
