Non eligible applicants include:

  • Non-profit organizations
  • Indian tribes
  • Special purpose organizations such as public housing authorities, port districts, community action agencies, and economic development councils

However, eligible jurisdictions may choose to serve Indian tribes within their jurisdiction or involve other organizations in the operation of projects funded under the program.

Projects must principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons.  Low- and moderate-income is defined as 80 percent of county median income.  Applicants may submit one request per fund each program year.
