The eligibility list also includes small businesses, independent school districts, city or township governments, county governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. While faith-based and community organizations are explicitly welcomed as long as they meet program requirements, certain applicants are not permitted to apply, including individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships.
