Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs

The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) supports Alabama communities through grant programs and services focused on community and economic development. The agency works with local governments, nonprofit groups, state and federal agencies, and other partners to help improve quality of life across the state.

ADECA’s programs include community development, energy assistance, weatherization, broadband, recreation, transportation, justice, and other initiatives. Its Office of Water Resources administers programs related to water-use reporting, drought planning and response, floodplain management, flood-hazard mapping, and technical assistance.
