Formula-Based - Funding is allocated by an established federal formula to States and localities.

Demand-Based - Funding responds directly to demand from eligible individuals. The dollar amount Iowa receives will vary according to the number of people who qualify and receive the funding. Current estimates project out the total Iowa expects to receive. These numbers may change as actual funds are distributed.

Competitive Proposal Estimates - Funding is allocated through competitive solicitations federally. As the name suggests, any applications for projects submitted by a state agency directly or on behalf of the state go through a competitive selection process, therefore, these estimates are not guaranteed until selected.
