Summary
This grant opportunity is intended to support foundational infrastructure projects that help small and rural communities remain safe, functional, and sustainable over time. The focus is on improving essential public systems that directly affect daily life, public health, and environmental quality. Funding is available across multiple regions of the United States, with eligibility generally centered on rural towns, underserved areas, and tribal communities.
The opportunity is designed primarily for nonprofit organizations, public entities, and tribal governments. While individuals and private businesses do not typically apply on their own, the improvements made through funded projects are meant to benefit households, local organizations, and small businesses within eligible communities. The overall intent is to strengthen basic services that are often difficult to finance in smaller or lower-income areas.
Funds may be used for the development, repair, or modernization of community systems that support clean water access, wastewater management, waste handling, and drainage. Projects can include new construction as well as upgrades to existing facilities that are aging, inefficient, or no longer meeting community needs. Support may also extend to planning, technical design, permitting, land acquisition, and other preparatory or implementation-related costs necessary to complete a project successfully.
This opportunity may offer a blend of financial assistance options, allowing communities to structure support in a way that keeps long-term costs manageable for residents. Priority is often given to projects that address health and safety concerns, improve service reliability, or prevent future service disruptions.
Overall, the grant is intended to promote long-term resilience and economic stability in rural and underserved areas. By investing in essential infrastructure, the program helps communities protect natural resources, support local development, and improve quality of life for the people who live and work there.
