Community Facilities Program | RCAP Solutions Community Facilities Program Helping rural communities leverage funding for essential public facility projects. Does your community need funding for vehicles, equipment, or new public facilities? RCAP Solutions is here to help!

We’re proud to offer no-cost technical assistance to the smallest and most under-resourced rural communities in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont in pursuing grants and loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Facilities Program! What is the Community Facilities Program? Community Facilities (CF) is a flexible funding program from USDA’s Office of Rural Development.

The program provides grants and low-interest loans to communities with a population of under 20,000 residents for the purchase, construction, or improvement of essential community facilities. Grant funds are provided on a graduated scale with smaller communities with the lowest median household income being eligible for projects with a higher proportion of grant funds.

If your rural community needs funding for any of the following (but not limited to) projects, then this program may be for you!

Fire departments, police stations, prisons, emergency response vehicles, or public works vehicles/equipment Telemedicine or distance learning equipment Hospitals, medical clinics, dental clinics, nursing homes, or assisted living facilities Town halls, courthouses, airport hangars, or street improvements Community Support Services Childcare centers, community centers, fairgrounds, or transitional housing Museums, libraries, or public schools Community gardens, food pantries, community kitchens, food banks, food hubs, or greenhouses How can RCAP Solutions help?
