Assist state and local governments with addressing deficiencies in community infrastructure to, in order of priority, enhance military value (to include critical infrastructure), cadet training at covered educational institutions, installation resilience, or military family quality of life. Projects must be supportive of a military installation.

Eligibility
Eligible Applicants

Community infrastructure projects or facilities must be located off a military installation or on property under the jurisdiction of a military department that is also subject to a real estate agreement (including a lease or an easement) held by a state or local government.

The Defense Community Infrastructure Program is a competitive grant program that assists state and local governments with addressing deficiencies in community infrastructure, supportive of a military installation, to, in order of priority, enhance military value (to include critical infrastructure), cadet training at covered educational institutions, installation resilience, and military family quality of life. Community infrastructure projects are transportation projects, community support facilities (e.g., schools, hospitals, police, fire, and emergency response), and utility infrastructure projects (e.g., water, wastewater, telecommunications, electric, gas, etc.) that are located off of a military installation or on property under the jurisdiction of a Secretary of a military department that is subject to a real estate agreement (including a lease or easement), and are owned by a state or local government or a not-for-profit, member-owned utility service.
