The FundBook ID State Edition

Helping communities find the federal funding they need.
The View from Idaho State
T
he impact of education reform will be felt by every school district in the state because it changes the law on collective bargaining for teachers. Potentially it could result in significant job loss during a time of economic downturn, resulting in an impact both on income tax collection and the housing market. In addition, budget writers are targeting a $6 million reduction in general fund dollars from last year’s diminished education budget. The reduced amount would have to fund an additional 176 classrooms statewide because of growth. The Joint FinanceAppropriations Committee will consider a plan to give the State Tax Commission nearly $4.5 million for additional staff, which is expected to generate $19 million in revenue next year. Some lawmakers may try to use that for public education. Local school boards need to keep in close contact with their congressional delegation and the State Board of Education as the rules are written that regulate the new reforms. Cuts in the Medicaid budget are projected to impact health care providers as well as access to care by those in low income brackets. Non-profit health service providers are bracing for large increases in their client demand. In order to meet this need, health care providers, non-profits and religious groups are developing collaborations in order to apply for foundation grants. Legislative budget writers approved cutting some $34 million from Idaho’s share of the 2012 Medicaid budget, with reductions in payments to health care providers, suspension or termination of some services and the addition of co-pays. Those measures are part of the $436 million Medicaid budget backed 15-4 by the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee on Friday, with Democrats opposed. That’s an increase of some $137 million from fiscal year 2011, largely because Idaho must make up reductions in federal matching funds following the expiration of the 2009 stimulus act.

Notes From the Field Idaho legislative websites The USDA-Natural Resource Conservation Service houses the Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) Program, providing federally-funded program coordinators that guide grassroots, 501c3 nonprofit RC&D councils throughout the U.S. These councils work toward four main goals for their regions: Land conservation, water conservation, and water quality and community development. Under these goals, RC&D councils provide assistance to communities by supporting projects that educate, create jobs and businesses, find and administer grant funds, and facilitate partnerships for the conservation of natural resources. Councils in Idaho just hosted the 2011 Western RC&D Association Conference in Lewiston, Idaho on March 12th through 16th. Bringing councils together from ten (10) states, the major topic of discussion was the program budget cuts. There are 374 federallyfunded coordinators throughout the country and the President’s 2011 and 2012 budget does not extend funding for these positions. Nina Eckberg, Treasurer, Panhandle Lakes RC&D Council, Coeur d’Alene ID reports that if funding is eliminated, councils will have to decide how to make the transition. Some councils rely heavily on their coordinator for support, so they may have a tougher time trying to continue if the coordinator is not there. Those councils with strong leadership will thrive by not having what they see as the ‘constraints’ of the federal government program. No matter what happens, this is a wake-up call for RC&D nonprofit councils across the country to review their missions and evaluate their resources. §

ment Policy” (Winter 2011), organized around the theme of neighborhood revitalization, is now available. Introduced by Secretary Donovan, the goals of Evidence Matters “intersect directly with HUD’s mission — to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities, and quality homes for all.” Assistant Secretary Bostic provides context for the neighborhood revitalization discussion in this inaugural issue, which features articles that draw on research to discuss the effects of HOPE VI and how it informs the Choice Neighborhoods program, concentrated poverty, and community capacity building efforts. Each issue spotlights research in the field, practice in the field, and additional resources useful to housing policy stakeholders.

The FundBook
Actionable funding information, visible results.
The purpose of The FundBook is to empower America’s local governments by increasing their awareness of, and ability to pursue, federal financial assistance for local projects. This is via a monthly publication which describes federal programs that are currently available, how to best pursue available funds, and trends in federal funding for projects relevant to local governments. Our product is designed to be the most user-friendly federal funding awareness resource for all sizes of local government.
• In-depth articles with analyses and recommendations of how to pursue federal funding for different capital improvement projects. • A single local government’s subscription can be sent monthly to as many full-time staff as requested.
• Dual focus on both grants and appropriations for expanded options and security. yo u r nce t e n h a ic le fl e e g to n d in n t’ s ve h fu g e in F in d g ove r n m l lo c a Dem nom

FY10 this program consisted of $15.5 million split among 20 awards and will almost certainly be available again in the coming year. The application period closed September 8 this year, so there is some time to plan a competitive grant before the new application cycle begins. The EDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Global Climate Change Mitigation Fund (GCCMF) was established to strengthen the linkages between economic development and environmental quality. One of the project types supported through this program is new construction or renovation that leads to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;green buildingâ&#x20AC;? with an LEEDâ&#x201E;˘ or comparable certification. Projects that are chosen must lead to a net positive outcome in terms of energy, materials, and/or water use efficiency. In FY10 this program consisted of $25 million and will almost certainly be
available again in the coming year. The application period is rolling, so there is as much time as necessary to plan a competitive grant before applying. (See p.11 Demystifying the EDA Grant Process Additionally, one of the most promising resources for local governments looking for this kind of federal funding is through their stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State Energy Program (SEP). However, SEPs vary as the Department of Energy emphasizes the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as decision maker and administrator for SEP activities within each state. Priorities, and the amount available for this project type, are set by the state. To find out if funding is available in

your state, contact your area State Energy Office.
Other funding mechanisms There are also other funding types available for local government energy efficiency in buildings projects, though most are available at the state, not federal, level. An excellent resource that lists state programs relevant to this project type is the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency, which can be accessed at goo.gl/h4b6 One federally available option is Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECBs) which can assist financing qualified energy conservation projects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a term that includes energy efficiency capital expenditures for public buildings. QECB funding is available on a state-by-state basis, based on whether the federally issued funds have already been committed. Interested officials should contact their State Energy Office for additional information about availability. >
