Opportunity Title:
USDA Rural Development Seeks Input to Improve Access to Grants and Help More Communities Thrive
Funder/Agency:
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Description:
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Oklahoma State Director Kenneth Corn today invited public input on a plan to make it easier for more people in rural Oklahoma and Tribal Nations to access grant funding that will strengthen their local economies, communities, and quality of life.
Through the Better Grants Better Service initiative, USDA Rural Development is gathering and analyzing input from customers, agency staff and other stakeholders to streamline its more than 30 grant programs into a superior customer experience. These programs provide people in rural and Tribal communities access to better housing, infrastructure and business opportunities.
This initiative underscores USDA’s commitment to being transparent and inclusive in the design and delivery of its programs. The initiative’s goal is to:
Make it easier for people to apply for, receive and use grant funds.
Make customer service more efficient and consistent.
Enhance the overall experience for Rural Development grant applicants and recipients.
The first two areas of focus will be equipment-only and technical assistance grants.
