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. Certified Grant Administrators The State CDBG Program provides grants exclusively to Indiana’s non-entitlement local governments.

NTIA reopened tribal broadband funding with two NOFOs due September 17, 2026 — $540M in the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program Round 3 and $250M in the Native Entities Grant Program. This is the money that survived the Digital Equity Act cuts. Here is who is eligible, why the program pivoted from fiber to affordability, and how to align with BEAD to score higher.
Read articleOn June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Combined, that removes nearly $200,000 in upfront cost from the single most affordable federal water-infrastructure financing program, which carries roughly $11 billion in available capacity and can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs at Treasury-rate pricing. For small towns, rural utilities, and the nonprofits and districts that serve them, this is a rare instance of the federal government lowering the barrier to a program that has historically been out of reach for exactly the communities that need it most. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.

The waiver removes the single barrier that kept small and rural utilities out of WIFIA for a decade. Here is how WIFIA actually works, who qualifies, why the letter of interest is the real gate, and how a town of 8,000 should think about a program built for billion-dollar projects.
