Online Application
In an effort to make state data more accessible and cohesive, the Iowa Economic Development Authority has been working to migrate the state’s CDBG application process for the Water/Sewer, Community Facilities & Services and Housing funds to a web based solution.  We are pleased to announce the application for all three funds was available online on September 12, 2011.    Please visit IowaGrants.gov (http://www.iowagrants.gov) to electronically file an application.

IowaGrants.gov Online Application Webinars
The Iowa Economic Development Authority hosted three separate one hour webinars on September 14 to walk through the application process for each of the funding opportunities and answer any questions regarding the new online application process.

Below are the recorded webinars. Due to a recording error, the Water/Sewer webinar is not available.  Please use the Community Facilities & Services webinar for reference.
