State Funding Allocations
FY 2020 State Allocations
Allocation Formula for SEDAP only
The DRA-enabling legislation requires the Authority to update distressed county designations annually. The following calculations reflect these updates.
2020 Allocation Methodology
Factors used in determining 2020 Allocation:
| Factor | Weight |
|
Equity Factor (divided equally among eight states) |
50% |
|
Distressed Population (DRA counties/parishes only) |
20% |
|
Distressed County Area (DRA counties/parishes only) |
20% |
|
Population Factor (DRA counties/parishes only) |
10% |
The model includes factors using 2020 distressed counties ddata (based on 2018 Per Capita Income from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and average unemployment from November 2017 to October 2019 national unemployment rate from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) to determine each state's allocated percentage of the total budgeted for SEDAP.
