Additional information on eligibility (from the notice)

Any state, territory, the District of Columbia, or Tribal government (each a “jurisdiction”) that has been approved as a participating jurisdiction in the SSBCI Capital Program is eligible to apply. Jurisdictions that are not yet approved as participating jurisdictions in the SSBCI Capital Program, but that have submitted complete and timely SSBCI Capital Program applications (or are part of a joint Tribal government application), are also eligible to apply; however, to receive an SSBCI Investing in America SBOP award, a jurisdiction must be approved as a participating jurisdiction in the SSBCI Capital Program. Groups of Tribal governments may apply jointly (i.e., in consortia). For additional requirements applicable to joint Tribal applications, please see TA Grant Program FAQ #3 “Can a Tribal affiliated entity or non-Tribal entity apply for a TA grant, sign a TA Grant Agreement, and implement the grant on behalf of a group of Tribal governments” under Section III. Eligible Recipients, Beneficiaries, and TA Providers at https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/SSBCI-FAQs.pdf, which will apply to applications and grants under this NOFO. States, territories, and the District of Columbia may not apply jointly, but an application from these applicants or from Tribal governments will receive more points if the TA program is designed to serve eligible small businesses on a regional basis as described in the NOFO.
