The award is a Project Grant, assistance type classified as Community Project Grants Congressionally Delegated.

The Community Facilities Loans and Grants program provides affordable funding to develop essential community facility projects in rural communities for nonprofits, public bodies, and federally recognized tribes. An essential community facility is defined as a facility providing an essential service to the local community for orderly development in a primarily rural area, excluding private, commercial, or business undertakings. The program prioritizes projects that enhance public safety, including fire, police, rescue, and ambulance services, and health care facilities, with additional consideration given to projects serving the largest number of low-income rural residents.
