The Commonwealth of Kentucky will receive $7,277,180 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).

It includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, and preserve and improve affordable health care. Unless otherwise stated, the grants are to be considered Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and will be administered by the Department for Local Government (DLG).
