About this file

This document is a Goals for Female and Minority Participation directive from the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program, applicable across multiple states and economic areas including Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee. The document establishes federally mandated participation goals for female-owned and minority-owned businesses on construction projects funded through CDBG-DR resources. The nationwide goal for female participation is set at 6.9%, while minority participation goals vary by economic area and county classification, ranging from 2.5% to 18.2% depending on the specific Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) or non-SMSA designation. Goals are stratified geographically across eight economic areas, with SMSA counties generally targeted at higher minority participation percentages than non-SMSA counties within the same regions.

The participation goals serve as benchmarks for federal construction contractors and are sourced from the U.S. Department of Labor's Technical Assistance Guide for Federal Construction Contractors. These targets apply to all CDBG-DR funded construction projects within the specified geographic jurisdictions and represent legally binding participation expectations rather than optional initiatives. Contractors are required to demonstrate good-faith efforts to achieve or exceed the stated percentages for female and minority subcontractor utilization on applicable projects. The goals function as a compliance mechanism to ensure equitable economic participation and opportunity across disadvantaged business enterprises in disaster recovery construction activities.
