Rural communities frequently face substantial challenges that require additional financial assistance. The State of Indiana, via the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, manages Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). These federal funds aim to support non-entitlement towns, cities, and counties throughout Indiana with various initiatives, such as improving water infrastructure, enhancing public facilities, preserving historical sites, addressing residential and commercial blight, and revitalizing Main Streets. CDBG funding plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life in Indiana communities while ensuring the health and safety of their residents.

To explore how the CDBG programs offered by OCRA can boost your community's vitality, review the programs highlighted above.

The State CDBG Program provides grants exclusively to Indiana’s non-entitlement local governments. These include cities with populations under 50,000 (excluding cities of Metropolitan Statistical Areas) and counties with populations under 200,000. Non-entitlement local governments that meet the general selection criteria and are not listed on the CDBG Project Timeliness Report may apply for CDBG-funded programs offered by the Office of Community and Rural Affairs.

To confirm that your non-entitlement local government is not included on the CDBG Project Timeliness Report, please check the table below.

The Office of Community and Rural Affairs offers training for individuals interested in becoming certified grant administrators. These administrators assist non-entitlement local governments in applying for and managing CDBG funds.

To find a certified grant administrator, please refer to the Grant Administrator Certification page. Grant administrators can work on CDBG applications through the electronic Grants Management System.

For important information regarding funding rounds, grant deadlines, and training for grant administrators, visit OCRA’s calendar.

If you have specific questions regarding project eligibility, please contact your Community Liaison. You can find the map of the Community Liaison regions here.
