In alignment with the Kansas Water Plan, the program may also support Secondary Systems and is focused on improving water quantity and quality while promoting long-term sustainability and economic growth in rural communities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-overview-item-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">Qualifying Projects<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\"><strong>A total of $2 million has been allocated for the Regional Water Implementation Grant Program in 2026.<\/strong> Funding from this program helps to promote collaboration and consolidation of water systems throughout Kansas. Eligible expenses include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Projects that will result in system consolidation where two or more systems merge, resulting in one public water supply system with a single governing body.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Projects that result in the creation or expansion of a Public Wholesale Water Supply District.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Projects that benefit a minimum of two public water supply systems and must be primary systems not currently connected.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-overview-item-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">CDBG National Objectives<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">All CDBG projects must meet a national objective and involve an eligible activity under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The three CDBG national objectives are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Benefit Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) Persons<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Prevention or Elimination of Blight<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Addressing an Urgent Need<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">All activities proposed in applications for the <strong>Community Facilities: Small Grants Program<\/strong> must meet the national objective of <u>benefiting low- and moderate-income persons <\/u>with a minimum of 51% LMI beneficiaries. This can be accomplished either by using HUD census data or by completing an income-based survey. Applicants must receive CDBG approval before starting a survey and follow the approved income-based survey methodology.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-overview-item-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">Selection Criteria<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">Grant applications are evaluated for funding based on project need, project alternatives, past efforts to address need, project readiness, and project impact. Key considerations include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>At least 51% of all program participants must meet LMI requirements, which is at or below 80% of the Average Median Income for the county in which the family resides.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Procurement and Engineering Services must follow CDBG procurement requirements.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kdc1000stg.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Sample-Request-for-Proposals-RFP-and-RFQ-Notices-4-3-18.pdf\">See a sample RFP here<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>For purposes of the feasibility study, primary systems must form a legally recognized entity (Public Wholesale Water Supply District or Interlocal Agreement).<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Communities that have not received a CDBG grant for Community Facilities, Water and Sewer, or Youth Job Training in the past five years will be awarded 10 bonus points<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<h6>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-CDBG-Regional-Water-Guidelines.pdf\">2026 CDBG Regional Water Guidelines<\/a> for more information on program requirements.<\/h6>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-overview-item-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">Matching Funds<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">Local funding is required for all CDBG projects, and no project can be funded entirely by grants. Matching funds can originate from private or public sources, but the application must document that these funds are firmly committed (e.g., a letter of commitment from a bank or other funding source).\u00a0Examples of matching funds include bank loans, industrial revenue bonds, owners\u2019 equity, contributions from local governments, or grants and loans from economic development entities.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">Applicants are allowed to match CDBG funds with other grant funds if that funding is secured in a city\/county account by the time the contract is signed. At least 10% of the matching funds must be cash from a local source (i.e., owner funds, city\/county cash). Any expenses incurred prior to the grant award are ineligible for reimbursement with CDBG funds. This includes grant writing, engineering, and architecture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-overview-item-wrap\">\r\n<h6 class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">2026 Pre-Application<\/h6>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">A pre-application must be submitted and approved by CDBG before an application can be submitted. The pre-application is used to determine project eligibility and readiness before proceeding to the full application stage. Commerce will review submissions within ten days and provide further instructions. Only those with an approved pre-application may submit a full application, but approval of the pre-application does not ensure grant funding. <b>Please discuss your project with CDBG staff before submitting a pre-application. <\/b>You can contact a project manager at any time or email <a href=\"mailto:cdbg@ks.gov\">cdbg@ks.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<h6><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/g\/2MtSs7bep1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pre-Application Form<\/a><\/h6>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- FAQs Section -->\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-page-section  blue\" id=\"faqs\">\n    <div class=\"im-cdbg-page-center\">\n        <h2 class=\"im-cdbg-page-title\">FAQs<\/h2>\n        <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-wrap\">\n                        <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq\">\n                <a class=\"im-cdbg-faq-trigger\" href=\"javascript:;\">Can a community apply for more than one project?<\/a>\n                <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse-wrap\">\n                    <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse\">\n                        <p>Communities may apply for multiple CDBG categories but <b>can only be awarded up to two projects total<\/b>, with no more than one from a major category. <b>Major categories\u202finclude:<\/b> Community Facilities: Large\/Small, Blueprint to Build, Water and Sewer Infrastructure, and Regional Water Implementation.

Citizens must be provided adequate and timely information so they can be meaningfully involved in important decisions. <br><br>\r\n<b>Public Hearing Timeline<\/b><br>\r\nThe purpose of the initial public hearing is to inform citizens about the proposed project, including its location, total cost, activities, and beneficiaries. Community members must be given a chance to suggest other project ideas and share their input, and the local governing body should carefully consider this feedback before submitting the application. The initial public hearing must be held at least 15 FULL days before the CDBG application is submitted, and no earlier than 120 days. The total project funding and CDBG amount requested must match what appears in the public hearing notice. \r\n<br><br>\r\nPublic hearings must be held at a time and location convenient to potential or actual beneficiaries, with accommodations for non-English speaking residents and persons with disabilities. Records of these efforts must be part of the grant files, including the public hearing notice, affidavit of publication, record of posting, public hearing attendance log, public hearing minutes, any written complaints and grantee response, and any other documented efforts to involve citizens throughout all stages of the project. <br><br>\r\n\r\n<b>Requirements to Publish a Public Hearing Notice<\/b><br>\r\nA notice about the hearing must be published at least 5 FULL days in advance (but no more than 20 days) in advance to allow citizens the opportunity to schedule their attendance. The day that the public hearing notice is first advertised and the day of the public hearing do NOT count towards the minimum 5 day period. <br><br>\r\n\r\nNotices must be published in a local newspaper having the widest general circulation in the community or on the government website that is accessible to persons with disabilities or Limited English Proficiency. Applicants must also make every effort to inform those who might not be reached through the newspaper notice or website that the public hearing is to be held. Such efforts might include the distribution of leaflets, posting notices on bulletin boards at town hall, social media channel announcements, notices to local organizations, clubs, and churches, and\/or personal contact. <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq\">\n                <a class=\"im-cdbg-faq-trigger\" href=\"javascript:;\">Is an environmental review always needed?<\/a>\n                <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse-wrap\">\n                    <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse\">\n                        <p>Yes, all CDBG-funded projects are federally required to have an environmental review.
