Acceptance by the United States Postal Service or private mailer does not constitute delivery. Facsimile (FAX) and postage due applications will not be accepted. A. Program Description Congress first authorized the RCDI in 1999 (Pub. L. 106–78, which was amended most recently by The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub. L. 113– 235)). The RCDI was authorized to develop the capacity and ability of qualified private, nonprofit communitybased housing and community development organizations, low-income rural communities, and federally recognized Native American Tribes to undertake projects related to housing, community facilities, or community and economic development in rural areas. Strengthening the recipient’s capacity in these areas will benefit the communities they serve. The RCDI structure requires the intermediary (grantee) to provide a program of financial and technical assistance to recipients. The recipients will, in turn, provide programs to their communities (beneficiaries). Of particular note this year, the Agency is encouraging applications for projects based in or servicing high poverty areas. This emphasis will support Rural Development’s (RD) mission of improving the quality of life for rural Americans and commitment to directing resources to those who most need them. B. Federal Award Information Congress, in The Continuing and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub.L. 113–235), appropriated $4,000,000 in FY 2015 for the RCDI program. The amount of funding received in the FY 2015 Appropriations Act can also be found at the following link: https://www.rd.usda.gov/ newsroom/notices-solicitationapplications-nosas#nosa. Qualified private, nonprofit and public (including tribal) intermediary organizations proposing to carry out financial and technical assistance programs will be eligible to receive the grant funding.
