Join us at our upcoming webinar for a preview of a powerful new DAC Mapping Tool that explores how states define “Disadvantaged Communities” (DACs) for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) across seven Great Lakes states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin).

Developed to support advocates, state administrators, and water infrastructure partners, this tool provides interactive views of the geographic areas captured by DAC definitions in each of these seven states – plus insights into their structure, data sources, related state SRF policies, and implications for how funds for critical drinking water infrastructure are distributed.
