Since 1981, the Indiana Rural Community Assistance Program (IN-RCAP) has provided technical assistance on water, wastewater, and solid waste issues to rural communities across the state.

Because we are funded entirely with grant money, RCAP is able to provide its services at no cost to communities.

Nationwide funding for the Indiana program comes from:
-The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utility Service,
-The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Office of Community Services,
-The Environmental Protection Agency Safe Drinking Water Program

RCAP Rural Development Specialists (RDSs) work with residents and local leaders in each community to identify a scope of services that will meet the community's needs.

IN-RCAP has helped low-to-moderate income communities leverage over $31 million in grants and low-interest loans for infrastructure projects since 1997.
