Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA RHS CFDG 2023
The Community Facilities Program Disaster Repair Grants (Funding Opportunity Number: USDA RHS CFDG 2023; CFDA 10.766) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Housing Service through USDA Rural Development (RD). The program is designed to help communities recover by funding repairs to essential community facilities that were damaged by Presidentially Declared Disasters that occurred during calendar year 2022. In practical terms, it is aimed at getting critical public-serving buildings and infrastructure back into safe, functional condition after major disaster events.
The program makes up to $50 million available in total grant funding. Individual awards do not have a required minimum or a stated maximum size, giving applicants flexibility to request what is appropriate for the scope of their repair work. Grant funds may cover up to 75 percent of the total eligible project cost, which means applicants should generally plan to provide the remaining share from other sources unless other program guidance allows additional coverage in specific circumstances. USDA anticipates making around 30 awards under this funding notice.
Eligible applicants include public bodies and mission-driven organizations that serve communities, specifically county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The intent is to support entities that own, operate, or provide community access to essential facilities and that are positioned to carry out repair projects that restore public services.
Funding is targeted to areas affected by qualifying 2022 presidential disaster declarations. The notice identifies impacted areas across a large set of states and territories, subject to updates as disaster designations change or are clarified. The listed locations include Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Projects must be tied to repair needs stemming from those qualifying disaster events, and the facilities must meet the program standard of being "essential community facilities" as recognized under USDA Community Facilities programming.
Applications are submitted directly to the USDA Rural Development State Office that serves the state where the project is located, rather than through a single centralized national portal. The application window is rolling: applications are accepted on a continual basis starting from the publication date of the notice (creation date July 26, 2023) and continue until available funds are exhausted. The relevant USDA RD State Office conducts the initial review, rating, and selection of complete applications, so completeness and alignment with program requirements are important from the start. The notice also indicates that interested applicants are expected to contact their state RD office before preparing an application to discuss the proposed project and to connect with a technical assistance provider. State office contact information is provided through USDA at https://www.rd.usda.gov/about-rd/state-offices.
Overall, this opportunity is best suited for local governments, eligible nonprofits, and federally recognized tribes that need help repairing community-critical facilities after 2022 presidentially declared disasters, have a defined repair scope and cost estimate, can document disaster-related damage and eligibility, and can assemble the non-grant share needed if USDA covers up to 75 percent of the project cost.Apply for USDA RHS CFDG 2023
