We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This program aims to support rural households and businesses by providing funding for the development and improvement of essential services such as clean and reliable drinking water systems, sanitary sewage disposal, sanitary solid waste disposal, and storm water drainage. The grants and loans offered can be used for a wide range of activities, including the acquisition, construction, or enhancement of drinking water infrastructure, sewer systems, solid waste disposal, and stormwater management facilities. Additional eligible uses include legal and engineering fees, land acquisition, equipment purchases, start-up operations, and maintenance, as well as other project-related costs. The program emphasizes the importance of access to basic utilities for rural communities, aiming to improve health, environmental sustainability, and the overall quality of life in these areas.
