Eligible applicants include homeowner associations, private non-profit organizations or associations, schools, special districts, tribes and King County jurisdictions. Eligible projects include those that address localized flooding, surface water overflows, near-shore flooding and lake flooding due to outflow blockage.

The new grant program will target flood reduction projects throughout King County. Total funds available in 2014 will be $2.6 million.
