This grant program aims to provide affordable funding for the development of essential community facilities in rural areas, targeting communities with no more than 20,000 residents including Federally Recognized Tribal Lands. It supports a wide range of facilities and services that are crucial for the local community's orderly development. Specifically, the program focuses on health care, public facilities, community support services, public safety services, educational services, utility services, and local food systems. Grant assistance is on a graduated scale, prioritizing smaller communities with the lowest median household income for a higher proportion of grant funds. Eligible uses of funds include purchasing, constructing, improving essential community facilities, buying equipment, and covering related project expenses.
