Statewide plans and areas outside big cities are given priority
What the document says“(I) make a good-faith effort to implement the pilot program in every jurisdiction; and”
In making awards the Secretary must prioritize State applications, other than from the District of Columbia and the territories, that show a plan to make a good faith effort in every jurisdiction and to give nonmetropolitan areas a share of funds matching their population. The Secretary must aim for awardees that collectively span urban, suburban, rural, and Tribal settings, and may not disqualify organizations that won awards in earlier cycles.
What the document actually says“(I) make a good-faith effort to implement the pilot program in every jurisdiction; and”
The plan must show a real try in every part of the state. No part may be left out.
Areas outside big cities are the point here. They often lose out when money is handed out. This tells the housing agency to watch for that.
