- CFDA number
- 12.614
- What it does
- Assist State and local governments to lessen an area's dependence on defense expenditures by preparing economic diversification strategies, and contingency strategies and schematic land use plans for the potential redevelopment of a military installation prior to closure or realignment decisions.
- Who benefits
- States and communities, including workers, businesses, and other community interests, that could be affected by Defense budget reductions and base closures/realignments.
- 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 a substantial portion of the economic activity or population of the applicant's geographic area is dependent on defense expenditures. The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation must determine, in consultation with the affected state or community, that a substantial portion of the economic activity or population of the geographic area subject to the planning under this program is dependent on Department of Defense (Defense) expenditures. For purposes of eligibility determination, an area is considered Defense-dependent if it can demonstrate: (1) Direct military and civilian employment totals at least one and a half times the national level of Defense employment as a percent of the total U.S. labor force or (2) Defense-related expenditures comprise at least one and a half times the Defense percent of gross domestic product. The National Defense Budget Estimates for FY2023 states that the 2021 Defense employment as a percent of total labor force is 1.4% and the 2021 Defense share of gross domestic product is 3.2%. One and half times the Defense employment as a percent of the total labor force is 2.1%, and one and half times the Defense percent of gross domestic product is 4.8%. Technical and financial assistance is structured through an assigned Project Manager working with a defense-dependent State and/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:
