- What it does
- To provide assistance to State and local governments affected by qualifying Department of Defense actions.
- Who benefits
- States and communities, including workers, businesses, and other community interests that are affected by a qualifying Department of Defense action.
- Who applies
- 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 are reductions in Defense spending resulting in a proposed or actual military and/or civilian personnel reduction resulting from a reduction in spending. Personnel reductions must result in the loss of not less than: 2,000 military, civilian, and contractor personnel in an urban labor market area, or 1,000 military, civilian, and contractor personnel in the case of a non-urban labor market area. The Director, Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation must also determine whether the loss results in a direct and significant adverse impact on a community and its residents. Where multiple jurisdictions may be affected by reduced spending and personnel reductions, one program of assistance will be available, and the affected jurisdictions will need to combine their efforts into one responsive program.

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:
