At least 10 percent of the money each year goes to rural areas
What the document says“Of the amount made available in each fiscal year for grants under this section, the Secretary shall ensure that not less than 10 percent shall be used for grants to eligible entities that are located in rural areas.”
The section requires the Secretary to ensure that at least 10 percent of the money available for grants in each fiscal year goes to eligible entities in rural areas. A rural area is defined in the section as any area other than a city or town with a population of less than 50,000.
What the document actually says“Of the amount made available in each fiscal year for grants under this section, the Secretary shall ensure that not less than 10 percent shall be used for grants to eligible entities that are located in rural areas.”
Some of the money each year is held for country areas. That share is at least 10 percent.
A set-aside is money kept back for one group. Here the group is places outside towns of 50,000 people. The floor of 10 percent is a minimum, not a cap.
