Federal and state agencies allocate public money to local municipalities for specific projects that fit into the agency's mission. Usually, a careful application process must be followed whereby a municipality demonstrates a clear purpose and plan for the potential funds.
An extensive list of potential funding programs is organized below by Recovery Sector. More detailed information on program information and the steps to access those public funds can be found on the individual agency's website.
