The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service awarded a $149,994 Project Grant under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) to Foundation For Puerto Rico Inc., a non-profit organization in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The 2-year grant, effective September 26, 2023, will fund the delivery of essential community facility technical assistance and training services to rural residents in Puerto Rico. This grant program supports the construction, expansion, and improvement of critical rural infrastructure such as fire protection, public safety, healthcare, education, and utility services. Foundation For Puerto Rico will use the funding to help communities, Indian Tribes, and non-profit organizations identify and plan for their community facility needs, and then assist them in securing public and private financing for those projects. The organization will also offer direct technical support and training related to the Department of Agriculture's essential community facilities programs.
