The Kentucky Department for Local Government provides comprehensive certification training for Community Development Block Grant administrators to ensure proper program management and regulatory compliance. The 2025 CDBG Administrator Training is scheduled for October 7-10, 2025, from 8:30am to 4:00pm EST at the KACo Headquarters in Frankfort, Kentucky. Kentucky residents can register for this in-person session for a fee of 350 dollars, with a registration deadline of September 26, 2025. The training curriculum covers essential modules including project administration, environmental review, financial management, procurement, contracting, labor standards, and project close-out. Specialized training is also available for Disaster Recovery, focusing on funding allocations, action plan requirements, and unmet needs assessments, as well as advanced sessions on Section 3. To achieve certification, participants must complete the required training and pass the Certified Administrator Exam. While pre-recorded playlists and materials are available for reference, they do not replace the formal certification process.
