North Shore Watershed Flood Mitigation Grant

The County of Kauai is issuing a Request for Proposal to select a non-profit organization to manage the implementation and financial distribution of $7,285,000 for North Shore Watershed Flood Mitigation Sub-grants. 

The selected non-profit organization will serve as a custodian for the funds, liaison with various stakeholders, foster consensus in the community, develop a process to award flood migration sub-grants, monitor the sub-grantees, and report to the County (at a minimum quarterly).

The Program is intended to ultimately produce multiple sub-grants to other non-profit organizations so that those organizations can conduct mitigation projects which reduce harm from future flooding events through structural and nonstructural actions, interventions, and investments.

The selected non-profit organization may not itself conduct a flood mitigation project with these funds.

Specific details regarding proposals and required documentation will be provided in the Request for Proposal.

All proposals will be reviewed subject to the County of Kauai’s review process. The updated proposal due date is November 21, 2021. Proposals received after the deadline will not be considered. Notification of approval for funding shall be made no later than December 17, 2021.

You may submit proposals or questions about the Request for Proposals to Ronn Miyashiro at rmiyashiro@kauai.gov.
