While some flexibility exists for additional features, major modifications are not allowed. Minor modifications to the approved design are permitted but must be funded by the applicant and approved by Commerce on a case-by-case basis. CDBG funds support construction of a community center using one of the three designs, which include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Site specific final design activities and civil engineering, including bid specifications<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Multi-purpose room with overhead doors and patio access<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Space for a serving kitchen with fixed equipment<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Room for a fitness center and telemedicine office<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Lobby with small gathering area and restrooms<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Storm shelter for safety<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Additional gym(s) and\/or pool option for medium and large designs<\/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 Objective<\/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. National objectives are 1) benefiting Low- and Moderate-Income persons (LMI), 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of blight, and 3) meet a need having a particular urgency (urgent need).<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">All activities proposed in applications for the <strong>Blueprint to Build Grant 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\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-overview-item-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">Criterios de selecci\u00f3n<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">Grant applications are evaluated for funding based on project need, readiness, impact, sustainability, and matching funds source and availability.

Key considerations include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Demonstrating that alternative solutions were examined to address the facility need<\/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 resigns<\/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 five bonus points<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Five bonus points will be awarded if at least 10% of local funding comes from other private donations or foundations grants (not bonds or state and federal agencies)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-overview-item-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">Fondos de contrapartida<\/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<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">Pre-Application<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">Applicants must submit a pre-application to confirm eligibility before applying for CDBG funding. This process allows us to provide early feedback and address any eligibility concerns before applicants complete the full application, and ensures projects align with program goals and are prepared for funding. The form requires a brief project description, estimated budget, eligibility status, and readiness to proceed.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\">Commerce will review submissions within ten days and provide further instructions. Only those with an approved pre-application may submit a full application, but pre-approval does not ensure grant funding. If you are new to the CDBG program, please reach out to us to schedule an initial discussion first.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-overview-item-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-subtitle\">Recursos adicionales<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"im-cdbg-overview-desc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Blueprint-To-Build-FAQ.pdf\">Blueprint to Build FAQ<\/a><\/p>\r\n<iframe title=\"Blueprint to Build Webinar | June 24, 2025\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I0dHnccVe3w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\n\r\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- FAQs Section -->\n<div class=\"im-cdbg-page-section  pink\" id=\"faqs\">\n    <div class=\"im-cdbg-page-center\">\n        <h2 class=\"im-cdbg-page-title\">Preguntas frecuentes<\/h2>\n        <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-wrap\">\n                        <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq\">\n                <a class=\"im-cdbg-faq-trigger\" href=\"javascript:;\">View Blueprint to Build designs:<\/a>\n                <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse-wrap\">\n                    <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse\">\n                        <p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blueprint-to-Build-Small.jpeg\">Small Design<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blueprint-to-Build-Medium.jpeg\">Medium Design<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascommerce.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Blueprint-to-Build-Large.jpeg\">Large Design<\/a><\/p><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq\">\n                <a class=\"im-cdbg-faq-trigger\" href=\"javascript:;\">Are communities required to select a Blueprint to Build design for a community center?<\/a>\n                <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse-wrap\">\n                    <div class=\"im-cdbg-faq-collapse\">\n                        <p>Yes, communities with a population over 1,500 must apply through the Blueprint to Build program to build a new community center.
