A portion of the 2023 CDBG grant funds will be utilized towards eligible Water and Sewer Infrastructure Grant projects, for a total of $2 million dollars of the yearly allocation. Water and Sewer projects qualify for CDBG funding by meeting the LMI National Objective of 51 percent low- and moderate-income residents benefiting from the project.
In addition to this requirement, only communities who are under a current consent order by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment may apply. Those communities that have been identified by KDHE are listed below. Please note that some of the communities listed have received CDBG funding in 2020, 2021 and 2022 to address their compliance issues. If those communities need Phase 2 or Phase 3 funding to continue moving towards the resolution of their consent order, they will be eligible this year for an application. Communities may contact the Kansas Department of Commerce with any questions about their status.
