Proposal submission will be collected via the new Electronic Grants Management System (eGMS). Submission instructions can be found at www.in.gov/ocra/cdbg.
Round one proposals are being accepted until 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday, April 3, 2020. However, we encourage you to submit by 4 p.m. ET as there will be no technical support available after that time. Final applications are due by Friday, May 22, with funding awards announced on July 16
Funding for all CDBG programs comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is administered by OCRA. The state of Indiana distributes CDBG funds to rural communities to assist units of local government with various community projects like: improving infrastructure, downtown revitalization, public facilities improvements, and economic development.
