Eligibility Criteria
This grant announcement is open to local governments within the Commonwealth that have established partnerships with non-profit organizations or institutions within their jurisdiction. All applications must be submitted by the local government. One application per locality may be submitted but the application may include multiple partnerships with separate nonprofits, organizations, or institutions. Current grantees may apply if expanding services to include additional at-risk partners.
