Oversight, Obscurity, Transparency

Oversight: HUD OIG

Obscurity: 3 (Rating: 0 = Easy, 3 = Difficult, 5 = Impossible) – How difficult Kentucky makes it for citizens to find the state's grant website.

Where does the state of Kentucky publish the required HUD CDBG-DR notices and action plans?

The documents are published on the official Grantee website, typically run by the state's Department of Economic and Community Affairs.

However, locating these state-specific websites is often challenging. Check the Kentucky's obscurity rating on this page to see how accessible the CDBG-DR grant website really is for citizens.
