Kentucky's CDBG Community Projects pathway offers up to $850,000 per community for qualifying human-service facilities. Official DLG pages currently conflict between September 1 and September 2, 2026, so Atlas flags September 2 as an immediate same-day verification/submission date rather than inventing a deadline time.
Required next actionAct immediately on September 2, 2026. Confirm the live DLG submission portal or controlling instructions because two official DLG pages conflict between September 1 and September 2 and neither states a clock time; if the application remains available, submit as early as possible.
