These funds are distributed through GMA grants that are administered through a contract. The contract includes a project budget and a "Scope of Work" which lists the activities the grant will fund along with a description of the final products that these work activities will generate. These final products are referred to as "deliverables". The purpose of "competitive" GMA grants is to help local governments meet special needs or demonstrate innovative approaches to growth management issues. Competitive GMA grants are allocated once every two years. The grant application process occurs at the beginning of the two- year period. Additional grant applications may be sought later on if funds remain after the initial grant offering. All grant applications are reviewed to assure that applicants meet the minimum requirements. Each grant application is evaluated according to a criteria prescribed for the grant. program. Bonus points may be earned by addressing one of the following areas of special need or concern: • Regional Collaboration: Grants to help two or more jurisdictions develop a mutually beneficial response to a regional land use issue or concern. • Streamlined Regulations: Grants to reduce and/or expedite the successful completion and processing of development regulations and building permits. • Capital Facility Plans: Grants to help jurisdictions develop innovative ways and means to fund the capital facilities elements of their comprehensive plans. . • Transportation: Grants to resolve deficiencies and gaps in the determination of concurrency among state, regional and local transportation plans. • Affordable Housing: Grants to help jurisdictions plan for the development of affordable housing, particularly for households earning less than the county median income. • Sustainable Communities: Grants to help jurisdictions plan for sustainable economic development by reducing the public's consumption and dependence on oil and other non- renewable natural resources. • Rural Opportunities: Grants to develop innovative land use regulations in rural jurisdictions that are consistent with the GMA. • School Planning/Siting: Grants to coordinate the activities of cities, counties and school districts to plan and develop guidelines for the location of schools as important community assets. 1 Application Procedures Joint Applications Joint applications from two or more jurisdictions will be accepted by CTED.
