- What it does
- Assist state and local governments with addressing deficiencies in community infrastructure to, in order of priority, enhance military value (to include critical infrastructure), cadet training at covered educational institutions, installation resilience, or military family quality of life. Projects must be supportive of a military installation. Community infrastructure means any transportation project; school, hospital, police, fire, emergency response, or other community support facility; or water, wastewater, telecommunications, electric, gas, or other utility infrastructure project that is located off a military installation and owned by a state or local government.
- Who benefits
- Not Applicable
- Who applies
- State or local governments may apply for the assistance to address deficiencies in community infrastructure supportive of a military installation. Assets owned by not-for-profit, member-owned utilities may be enhanced with the funding. However, they may only apply in partnership with a primary state or local government proposer. Community infrastructure projects or facilities must be located off a military installation or on property under the jurisdiction of a military department that is also subject to a real estate agreement (including a lease or an easement) held by a state or local government.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
