§15026 Federal and Non-federal Share

Summary

Limits how much the federal government will pay for projects funded by State allotments under this program. Normally the federal share can be no more than 75% of the total necessary cost, as set by the Secretary. For projects that serve people with developmental disabilities in Secretary‑designated urban or rural poverty areas, the federal share can be up to 90%. For projects run by the Council or its staff to carry out the State plan, the federal share can be up to 100%. When the Secretary figures the federal share, they must not count costs paid with other federal funds except funds under section 15022, or non‑Federal funds that were required to get those other federal funds. The State’s share can be cash or in‑kind (for example, buildings, equipment, or services). Contributions by local governments or public or private partners under State agreements can count as State money, subject to rules the Secretary may make under section 15004(b). State agency support to the Council under section 15025(d)(4) may also count. The non‑Federal share required for each Council grant can vary.
