Federal Matching & Supplemental Programs

Section 6(f) of the Land & Water Conservation Fund Act prohibits the use of other Federal financial assistance to pay the State or local matching share of an LWCF grant. However, in those instances where the statutory provisions of a subsequent Federal grant-in-aid program explicitly allow recipients to use such assistance to match other Federal funds, Section 6(f)(1) of the L&WCF Act is superseded and a matching arrangement is permissible.

State and local recipients may use the following Federal grant-in-aid programs to match or supplement LWCF assistance and shall indicate in the project application the specific type of matching or supplemental assistance used:

  1. Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (P.L. 91-609), as amended. Section 105(a)(9) (i.e. Community Development Block Grants).


  2. Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (P.L. 91-609), as amended (also known as the Urban Growth and New Communities Development Act of 1970). Supplemental grants under this program may not exceed 10 percent of the cost of the project.


  3. Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-136), as amended by P.L. 91-123 and P.L. 94-487. (i.e. Regional Commission Supplemental Grants).


  4. Emergency Jobs and Unemployment Assistance Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-567), as amended (i.e. Title X of the Public Works and Economic Development act of 1965).


  5. Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965 (P.L. 89-4) as amended by P.L. 92-65 (Section 214(a)).


  6. Trident Community Impact Programs (P.L. 93-552).


  7. Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act (P.L. 93-638).


  8. Local Public Works Capital Development and Investment Act of 1976 (Section 104).


  9. Power Plant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978 (Section 601 Energy Impact Assistance). The Agriculture Department grants frequently supplement other grant assistance to acquire and develop sites for public facilities. These funds are not available for capital construction.


  10. State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 (P.L. 95-512), as amended. (i.e., revenue sharing funds).


  11. Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-334) (i.e., Section 347 of the Consolidated Farms and Rural Development Act). Participation is allowable only if the Farmers Home Administration Loan is secured by a means other than land, i.e., chattel, general obligation bonds or general taxes.
