Description
The Facilities Program, part of Indiana's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Construction Grants, provides funding to rural communities for the rehabilitation and restoration of historic buildings and the improvement or expansion of public facilities. The program aims to enhance community resilience and livability by supporting projects such as community centers, libraries, healthcare centers, fire/EMS stations, and projects that remove architectural barriers for ADA accessibility. Grants are competitive and must align with federal CDBG objectives, focusing on benefiting low- and moderate-income residents or eliminating slum and blight.
