Opportunity Summary:
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Rural Community Development Facilities Program (RCDAP) Water and Wastewater Treatment Systems Training and Technical Assistance Project was a discretionary federal grant opportunity released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Community Services (OCS). Announced for Fiscal Year 2010 and contingent on the availability of funds, the program focused on strengthening the capacity of small, rural communities by funding organizations that could deliver hands-on training and technical assistance related to community facilities needs, with a specific emphasis on water and wastewater treatment systems. In practical terms, the intent was to help rural places better plan for, manage, and meet essential infrastructure needs by improving local knowledge, skills, and problem-solving support rather than directly financing construction.
The grant’s core purpose was to support a non-profit intermediary (or multiple awardees) that could work across communities to provide structured training and ongoing technical assistance. This included helping small rural communities understand and address challenges tied to water and wastewater treatment systems and broader community facilities requirements. The framing of the opportunity suggests an emphasis on capacity building: improving local ability to identify needs, navigate solutions, and sustain reliable systems over time, especially in communities that often have limited staff, limited technical expertise, and fewer resources to access specialized guidance.
Funding was offered as a grant instrument under the “Income Security and Social Services” activity category and carried no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding available was $9,351,764, with an award ceiling of $1,435,344 and an award floor listed as $0. The announcement anticipated up to seven awards, indicating OCS planned to fund multiple organizations to cover different regions or approaches, or to ensure broad geographic reach. The program was listed under CFDA number 93.570 (Community Services Block Grant - Discretionary Awards), tying it to the CSBG discretionary funding stream that typically supports innovative or targeted initiatives aligned with community services and anti-poverty goals.
Eligibility centered on multi-state, regional, private, non-profit organizations capable of delivering training and technical assistance to small, rural communities. Both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) were identified as eligible categories, along with “others” as clarified in the full announcement. Faith-based and community organizations were explicitly eligible as long as they met the program’s requirements. Individuals and foreign entities were not eligible to apply or receive awards under this opportunity, and foreign entities were specifically excluded.
Key dates for the opportunity were straightforward. The funding opportunity was posted on June 1, 2010, with the application closing date set for July 16, 2010. Applicants submitting through Grants.gov were required to submit no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was archived on August 15, 2010, meaning it was no longer open for applications after that point.
For applicants needing the full details, the announcement referenced an ACF posting link and provided technical support contact information through the ACF Applications Help Desk (appsupport@acf.hhs.gov), which was the primary support channel for problems accessing the announcement or handling application submission issues.
