CF congressionally directed grants

The County of Fresno Community Development Division received a $1.0 million Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utilities Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) on June 4, 2025. The award, with a completion date of June 4, 2027, funds the development of essential community facility projects in rural areas of Fresno County. These facilities are designed to provide critical services necessary for orderly community development, including infrastructure improvements for public safety, healthcare, education, utility services, and community centers that serve low- and moderate-income populations.

The Community Facilities Loans and Grants program provides affordable funding to nonprofits, public bodies, and federally recognized tribes to construct, enlarge, extend, or improve essential community facilities in primarily rural communities. Through this funding, the County of Fresno will advance community infrastructure and facility improvements that enhance quality of life and economic development in rural and underserved areas, with particular emphasis on projects that benefit low-income residents and support public safety and healthcare services.
