Required next actionConfirm the applicant is an eligible Kentucky city or county and is not an entitlement community; review the current CDBG Community Projects guidelines; document the qualifying human-service need and proposed facility scope; complete required local approvals, budget and supporting materials; and submit by September 1, 2026.
Broad Eligibility
All Kentucky cities and counties may apply except entitlement communities. Healthcare and human-service organizations that are not eligible local-government applicants should evaluate whether an eligible city or county can sponsor a qualifying community project serving low-income residents or another eligible human-service need.
Atlas Analysis
A time-sensitive cross-sector infrastructure pathway with direct relevance to community health and safety when a local government is the applicant. Kentucky specifically identifies senior centers, crisis centers, fire stations and facilities serving low-income people as examples. It is not a general hospital capital grant, but it can be strategically valuable for community-based behavioral-health, crisis, aging and public-service facilities that fit the CDBG rules and can be advanced through an eligible city or county.
