Connecticut Climate Resilience Fund (DCRF)
Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) · State program
State grants go to project sponsors; the official page does not give a per-homeowner amount.
DEEP’s Climate Resilience Fund provides state grants for planning, design, and matching construction funds that help communities protect homes and other assets from flooding, extreme heat, wind, and other hazards. It is not a homeowner direct-pay program, but it can fund local projects that harden residential areas.
Program details
How it works
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection says the Climate Resilience Fund is a “one-stop shop” for resilience funding. In its 2026 announcement, DEEP said the fund awards grants for planning, design, and matching funds for construction to projects that proactively protect homes, businesses, and community lifelines from worsening floods, extreme heat and wind, and other natural hazards.
What the money covers
The official announcement describes funding for:
- Planning
- Design
- Matching funds for construction
The grant round cited by DEEP supported municipal, regional, and nonprofit projects rather than direct homeowner payments.
Amounts and matching
DEEP announced more than $5.1 million awarded in the second round of the fund in 2026, but the official page does not state a fixed homeowner benefit amount because awards go to project sponsors.
How to apply
DEEP’s climate resilience materials direct applicants to the program pages and solicitation materials. The official announcement indicates the program is competitive and that projects are submitted through the state resilience funding process.
Timing and deadlines
The 2026 round was announced on June 25, 2026. The official page does not state a standing deadline on the summary page.
