The eligible applicant categories listed include county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (with certain limitations for higher education institutions), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, among others. Faith-based organizations that meet the program eligibility requirements were explicitly noted as eligible and were encouraged to review ACF policy guidance on grants to faith-based organizations. At the same time, the announcement stated that individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were not eligible to apply or receive an award under this competition.
