Grants to USA and territories nonprofit organizations to provide loans and sub-grants to low-income individuals in rural areas for water infrastructure projects. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete. Individuals may use the sub-grant or loan to improve or build a wastewater system or well in an existing home.
The DWS Grant Program is intended to help eligible rural households that make less than 60 percent of the state nonmetro median household income offset the cost of household water wells and wastewater systems. With the DWS program, USDA makes grants to qualified private, nonprofit organizations which then establish lending programs – loans and subgrants – that support individual household water wells and wastewater systems.
Grant funds may be used to help a nonprofit create a revolving loan fund for eligible individuals who own and occupy a home in an eligible rural area. The fund may be used to construct, refurbish, or service individually-owned household water well and septic systems.
