Kentucky's Flood-Related Local Match Participation Program One of the largest barriers to accessing federal grants is the required local match, which can put essential recovery and mitigation projects out of reach for many communities. State match funding is available for flood recovery, flood control, and flood mitigation projects through the Kentucky Department for Local Government (DLG).

The Local Match Participation Program (LMPP) helps local governments in Kentucky meet the non-federal cost-share requirements for flood-related projects. Cities, counties, and special purpose governmental entities Joint applicants (e.g., city-county partnerships or multiple counties) Check FEMA coverage first : FEMA may initially cover up to 100% of costs after disasters, reducing or eliminating the need for LMPP funds.
