Kauaʻi County Housing Agency announces it extended the application deadline for the 2027 Community Development Block Grant Program because of the recent Microsoft outage.
The new deadline is now 4 p.m. Nov. 17.
Applications should be emailed to Anna Kanoho at iakanoho@kauai.gov. Use the same contact and email address to obtain a digital application packet.
The Community Development Block Grant Program is funded by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It supports affordable housing, suitable living environments and economic opportunities for low- to moderate-income Kauaʻi residents.
Past projects included homeless services, substance abuse prevention and youth education as well as shelter and family center repairs, infrastructure improvements, transitional housing, affordable rentals and down payment assistance.
The Housing Agency partners with nonprofits, service providers, government agencies and affordable housing developers to meet these community needs.
Public input also still is sought for the second year of the agency’s 2026-2030 5-Year Consolidated Plan, which along with the 2027 Annual Action Plan will guide how federal funds are used for housing, homelessness and community development.
An approved consolidated plan is required for the county to receive certain U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funding.
