What is Michigan RCAP?

Since 1980,
Michigan RCAP is part of the Great Lakes Region. Efforts by Great Lakes RCAP have resulted in new and improved water, wastewater or solid waste systems in over 900 communities. In addition millions of dollars have been leveraged for facility development.

Michigan Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP), and the parent Great Lakes Rural Community Assistance Program  assists rural low-income individuals and underserved populations in developing and maintaining community infrastructure to improve rural quality of life through a network of community action agencies.

The Goal

The goal of the Great Lakes Rural Communities Assistance Program  (RCAP) is to build capacity and manage affordable safe drinking water and sanitary wastewater. The Michigan RCAP has served over 130 communities in Michigan since 1999.

Services are provided through a seven state network of non-profit agencies  The Great Lakes RCAP include Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Rural Development Specialists in the states work on site with local officials, community leaders and system operators.
