Applicants for this assistance are to contact the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation and a Project Manager will be assigned to work with the applicant to determine eligibility for assistance under this program. States, counties, municipalities, other political subdivisions of a State, special purpose units of a State or local government, and tribal nations are eligible for this assistance if there is a proposed or actual realignment or closure of a military installation that is likely to have a direct and significant adverse consequence on the affected community, or any action of the Department of Defense negatively affects a covered depot . In the case of the establishment or expansion of a military installation, assistance may be made only if community impact assistance is not otherwise available and if the establishment or expansion involves the assignment to the installation of: (1) more than 2,000 military, civilian, and contractor Department of Defense personnel or (2) more military, civilian, and contractor DoD personnel than the number equal to ten percent of the number of persons employed in counties or municipalities within fifteen miles of the installation, whichever is lesser. Where multiple jurisdictions may be affected, one program of assistance will be available and the affected jurisdictions will need to combine their efforts into one responsive program.

Intended beneficiaries: Local, County Government (inclusive of boroughs in Alaska, parishes and other governmental entities with geographic regional control and authority), State and Other Local Government Consortium, Regional Organization (Intrastate), or Other Local Government Combination.
