Grants, Planning & Mitigation

Community Development

South Central Dakota Regional Council manages Community Development Block Grants for counties and cities — and helps communities plan, fund, and prepare for what’s next.

Community Development Block Grant

Federal grant dollars, managed locally.

SCDRC manages Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) for counties and cities, helping communities fund housing, infrastructure, and economic development projects that benefit local residents.

And if your community doesn’t receive funding, we’ll do our best to find other funding options available.
