Kentucky G.R.A.N.T. Program of 2024

Grant Funding

Rolling

Applications details are now available for the Kentucky G.R.A.N.T. Program of 2024! One of the top barriers to federal grant funding reported by Kentucky communities is meeting cash match or cost-sharing requirements. For this reason, Grant Ready Kentucky and our partners championed Kentucky House Bill 9, which passed unanimously and was signed into law on April 7, 2023. The bill created the Government Resources Accelerating Needed Transformation Program (G.R.A.N.T. Program). In 2024, the KY General Assembly modified the G.R.A.N.T. program with HB 723 and expanded the funding pool to $200 million pool for local match awards. Applications will be accepted on a monthly rolling basis starting June 1, 2024.The G.R.A.N.T. Program of 2024 is administered by the Cabinet for Economic Development, and a dedicated website for application details, recorded webinars, and FAQs is available here: https://ced.ky.gov/GRANT

In partnership with Smart Growth America, NACo has designed these fast-paced sprints to be high-intensity and implementation-focused with solutions that draw upon recommendations made by NACo’s 2023 Housing Task Force.Applications are currently open for NACo's third sprint, which will provide free virtual technical assistance to help counties assess and update their zoning codes to increase affordable Housing development and overall Housing supply. Participating counties are expected to be on track to formally adopt an amendment to their zoning code at the conclusion of the sprint.

MSHA encourages grantees to address, in their training and education programs, mine emergency preparedness, mine rescue, electrical safety, contract and customer truck drivers, improving training for new and inexperienced miners, managers and supervisors performing mining tasks, pillar safety for underground mines, and falls from heights. MSHA also encourages state training programs to prioritize health and safety training for new mines and small mining operations. MSHA is interested in supporting programs that emphasize training on miners’ statutory rights, including the right to a safe working environment and the right to refuse an unsafe task.
