Simplifying Federal Grants for Smaller Towns and Rural Areas.
This law aims to make it easier for smaller towns, counties, and non-urbanized areas to access federal grant funding. By simplifying complex application requirements, local governments can more quickly secure money for essential community projects, leading to improved local services and infrastructure investments for residents.
Key points
Federal agencies must simplify the requirements for local governments in less populated areas to receive grant funds.
Agencies must publish clear, step-by-step checklists for every grant application process, increasing transparency.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will monitor and report to Congress on the progress of grant simplification and funding distribution.
