Projects

Sewer Projects can break a city financially. There are programs, based on population and the median household income available to cities to eliminate or reduce the amounts owed by those cities for infrastructure

ARRA

Small Business Development Centers

The SBA will provide funds, the amount being determined on a prorated share of approximately $89,000,000 based on the population to be served by the SBDC as compared to the total population in the United States, with no State receiving less than $500,000, or whichever is greater. The entity generally is required to provide nonfederal funds of at least a 1:1 match, although additional funds may also be contributed by nonfederal sources. At least 50 percent of matching funds must be in cash; the balance may be made up of in-kind contributions and indirect costs.

Schools / Education Aprox $170 BILLION

For the Small, Rural School Achievement Program eligible recipients are local educational agencies (LEAs) in which

(1) the total number of students in average daily attendance at all of the schools served by the LEA is less than 600 or where each school in the LEA is located in a county with a total population density of less than 10 persons per square mile; and

(2) all of the schools served by the LEA are designated as rural under the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) using the NCES school locale methodology in place at the time of NCLB's enactment or the LEA is located in an area of the State defined as a rural by a State governmental agency. For the Rural and Low- Income School Program eligible recipients are State educational agencies. States then must distribute funds to local educational agencies (LEAs) through a formula or competitive basis. An LEA is eligible to receive a grant under this program only if

(1) it is not eligible for funds under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program;

(2) at least 20% of the school children ages 5-17 in the LEA come from families with incomes below the poverty line; and

(3) all of the schools served by the LEA are designated with a School Locale Code of 6, 7 or 8 under the Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) locator system using the NCES school locale methodology in place at the time of NCLB's enactment. If an SEA chooses not to participate in the program, the Secretary uses the State's allocation to make direct grants to eligible LEAs in the State.

Energy Assistance Aprox $2 BILLION

Energy Assistance Block Grants: All States, the District of Columbia, federally-and State-recognized Indian Tribal governments that request direct funding, and specified Territories may provide assistance to households with incomes up to the greater of 150 percent of the poverty level or 60 percent of the State median income. Grantees may establish lower income eligibility levels, but they may not set the limit below 110 percent of the poverty level.
