This program supports youth in completing their education, pursuing postsecondary training, and securing entry-level jobs that lead to long-term careers, with assistance ranging from life skills and resume writing to simulator training, internships, and field-specific instruction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-overview-item-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">Eligible Use of Funds<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\"><strong>A total of $500,000 has been allocated for the Youth Job Training Grant Program in 2026.<\/strong> This program addresses the need to support youth (ages 12-19) in workforce training and engagement. Eligible expenses include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Screening and skills assessment of participants<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Training, instruction, and certification of participants<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Software and instructional materials for training and educational purposes (acquired through procurement procedures defined by KDC)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Books, supplies, and other materials necessary for participants to complete their training<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Administration costs for grant funds<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Salaries for staff running these programs<\/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>Youth Job Training Grant Program<\/strong> must meet the national objective of <u>benefiting low- and moderate-income persons<\/u> (through the subcategory <u>LMI Limited Clientele<\/u>). Participants are required to complete a self-certification income form to document family size and income. Student families must be income qualified, and each subrecipient must be able to demonstrate that 51% of the students participating in the program are at or below 80 percent of the Average Median Income for the county where the student and their family reside.<\/p>\r\n\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. Priority will be given to programs that assist job training in industries highlighted in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/kansas-framework-for-growth\/\">Framework for Growth<\/a>. Priority should also be given to youth training in trades or employment sectors that are in high demand within your community. Key considerations include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Public service employment training &#8211; including assistance to increase self-sufficiency, literacy, resume writing, job coaching or training students in a particular field or skill when there is no tie to a specific position or business.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>At least 51% of all program participants must meet LMI (low- to moderate-income) requirements &#8211; which is at or below 80% of the Average Median Income for the county in which the family resides.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Communities who have not been awarded a CDBG Grant in the annual competition within the last five years in Housing, Community Facilities, or Water and Sewer will receive 10 bonus points on their application rating.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<h6>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2026-CDBG-Youth-Job-Training-Guidelines.pdf\">2026 CDBG Youth Job Training Grant 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). Examples 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>\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  purple\" 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.

Any local government applying for CDBG funds must provide citizens with reasonable opportunities to participate in the planning and development of applications, especially residents of proposed project areas. 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:;\">Who are the beneficiaries?<\/a>\n                <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse-wrap\">\n                    <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse\">\n                        <p>Youth will benefit from this funding opportunity.

This is crucial in designing any middle\/high school program. Create a diverse youth committee to help develop your program.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"im-cdbg-icon-block\">\n                <div class=\"im-cdbg-icon\">\n                    <span class=\"material-symbols-rounded\" aria-hidden=\"true\">handshake<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <p class=\"im-cdbg-icon-text\">Partnership building is important for executing a youth job training program. Partners help provide enrichment content to make the program fun and exciting, as well as being a main component of sustainability. Your program should partner with local school districts, youth development agencies, workforce development organizations, non-profits, and for-profit businesses.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"im-cdbg-icon-block\">\n                <div class=\"im-cdbg-icon\">\n                    <span class=\"material-symbols-rounded\" aria-hidden=\"true\">extension<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <p class=\"im-cdbg-icon-text\">Build your program around the needs of the community without duplicating efforts.
