A federal court has issued a preliminary injunction blocking HUD from implementing or enforcing the revised FY 2025 NOFO while the case proceeds.

Closing America’s Wastewater Access Gap | US EPA  


Application Deadline: Rolling 

 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Closing America’s Wastewater Access Gap Initiative provides no-cost technical assistance to small, rural, and historically underserved communities with failing septic systems, cesspools, or little to no existing wastewater infrastructure. Through this initiative, EPA and its partners help communities assess their wastewater and septic needs, identify feasible technical and financial solutions, and prepare competitive applications for funding—particularly through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) made available under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Rather than offering direct grant dollars to municipalities, the program supplies expert technical assistance, which can include needs assessments, evaluation of alternatives (such as onsite, cluster, or centralized systems), preliminary engineering support, rate and feasibility studies, and help with local ordinances and long-term operations and maintenance planning. EPA is expanding the initiative to support 150 communities nationwide, with participation accepted on a rolling basis, so there is currently no fixed application deadline. 


Communities may be strong candidates for this assistance if they are experiencing widespread septic failures or wastewater backups, lack adequate sewer service, or are still working to rebuild wastewater and septic infrastructure after storms or other disasters. Eligible requesters include local governments, utilities, Tribes, states, territories, and in some cases homeowner groups or community-based organizations working in areas with significant wastewater challenges.
