Idaho opportunity. The Idaho Department of Commerce administers the Idaho Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) program using U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development CDBG funds.

Required next actionKeep unpublished on Source Verification Hold. Verify the current ICDBG Application Handbook and Public Facilities chapter for the controlling 2026 funding ceiling, exact November 20, 2026 submission clock time/time zone, match or cost-share expectations, current forms and attachments, scoring, submission mechanics, procurement, BABA and eligible-cost rules. Only then identify eligible incorporated Idaho cities/counties under 50,000 that could sponsor a qualifying medical-facility project. Do not infer connected-exam equipment, portable devices or software eligibility from the medical-facility category alone.
Source Verification Hold — FY27 quarterly dates reconciled, but exact submission clock time/time zone remain unpublished and the official $50,000 landing-page ceiling conflicts with the FY27 guide's up-to-$100,000 project ceiling.

Required next actionPreserve Draft / Source Verification Hold. The prior September 14/December 14 deadline conflict is resolved: the live Idaho Commerce landing page and currently linked FY27 Application Guide both show September 21 and December 21, 2026. Remaining material ambiguities are the exact submission clock time/time zone and the funding-ceiling conflict ($50,000 landing page versus up to $100,000 in the FY27 guide). Verify those controls directly from Idaho Commerce before ORIGINAL outreach or final budgeting. Preserve the 20% match requirement and current procurement/allowable-cost rules.
