Applicants should work with their  local planning district to apply . Deadlines are April 1 and October 1. Overview Planning Districts Manual Reports Overview Allocation: South Dakota’s annual allocation of CDBG funds is separated into three separate accounts. The Community Projects account is available for a range of community development needs, and typical projects include water and wastewater infrastructure, community centers, workforce training, medical centers, and senior centers. GOED has allotted up to 15% of its annual CDBG allocation for eligible job training activities and will accept applications on an ongoing basis. Training should predominantly benefit LMI persons and assist individuals in gaining full-time employment in South Dakota.
