Purpose/Eligible Recipients: Capital grants or loans for the provision
of services to elderly persons and/or persons with disabilities.
Eligible recipients include: Private nonprofit organizations or
associations, public bodies that coordinate services for the elderly and/or
disabled; or any public body that certifies that nonprofit organizations in the
area are not readily available to carry out the services.
Funding Ratios: 80% federal maximum and 20% local match.
Remarks: TxDOT has been designated by the Governor to administer the
Section 5310 program. Grants are typically used to purchase vans (many of which
are lift-equipped) and ancillary equipment such as radios.
The Section 5310 program is undergoing a major redesign at present as ISTEA
strengthened coordination requirements for local recipients. Refinements are
also necessary to ensure that federal planning requirements are met.
