Connecticut Department of Housing competitive funding from $50,000 up to a $6.5 million ceiling for recovery-housing projects serving people affected by substance use disorders. Applications close September 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM; the current DOH page inconsistently labels that cutoff EDT in one field and EST in supplemental instructions, so applicants should submit early.
Required next actionKeep this website inventory record in Draft until Connecticut DOH authoritatively reconciles the conflicting deadline time-zone labels. The structured close-date field states September 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM EDT, while the same official page's supplemental submission text states 11:59 PM EST. Do not infer a time zone or republish until the conflict is resolved.

Connecticut's 2026 CDBG Small Cities Program is open to eligible towns and cities with populations under 50,000. The state distributes more than $13 million annually through the program, and the 2026 application deadline has been extended to September 11, 2026 at 11:59 PM. Connecticut DOH's current official program page does not state a timezone for that cutoff, so applicants should confirm the portal clock and submit early. Eligible activities include public facilities and improvements, ADA barrier removal, public services, housing services, rehabilitation, energy efficiency and planning.
Required next actionEligible Connecticut municipalities should finish and submit the complete 2026 Small Cities CDBG application before September 11, 2026 at 11:59 PM, confirm the live portal clock because the current DOH page does not state a timezone, verify the project meets a CDBG national objective and eligible activity, and include all partner documentation for any healthcare, school or community-facility component. Do not wait for the final minutes.
