First published in 1994, this 2011-2012 guide updates the August 2010 edition. �- This book was published for the League's 2011 Grants and Technical Assistance Resource Center, held ' on August 12, 2011, as a part of its 85th Annual Conference. The grants and technical assistance guide _.� features topics ranging from Abandoned Property to Waterway Resource Management (see Table of � Contents for these listings). The providers of these programs are federal, state and local governments, as well as private and nonprofit organizations.The program summaries offer a program description and ' information on eligible applicants, type of assistance, available funding, source of funds, application � process/deadlines, matching/other requirements and contact information. � "Other Resources" is a feature that lists associations and public/private groups that require membership ' dues or fees for services, which may also serve as a resource to cities. Unlike the other programs, these _, resources are listed alphabetically by title and provide a program description, membership/eligibility = requirements/fees, other pertinent information and contact information. == The appendices offer supportive contact information for local Community Services Block Grant agencies, � the Florida Division of Emergency Management field offices and the county government emergency — managers, the Florida Division of Forestryfield headquarters, local Low-Income Home Energy Assistance —� Program agencies, Florida state and area offices for Rural Development of the U.S. Department of - Agriculture, the Florida Department ofTransportation district offices, and local Weatherization Assistance � Program and Low-Income Emergency Home Repair Program agencies. Program descriptions and updates are provided to the League by the listed resource contacts and are �� published in good faith. Some programs will possibly change between publication dates. The most �— effective way to get current information is to check with the listed resource directly. Also, make sure to ,� check the "grants corner" section of the Daiagram. The League does not provide grants or grant-writing -- advice or assistance. J -- Published by: :, Florida League of Cities, Inc. -- 301 S.
