13-14-205. Preferences in granting assistance.

In carrying out the provisions of this part, preference shall be given to community-based development organizations that:

     (1)  Serve a geographic area or a population of individuals effectively marginalized due to its small numbers, high ratio of African-American residents, persistent poverty, disability or other factors which effectively result in structural disinvestment; and

     (2)  Can demonstrate support from the community, particularly the community which will directly benefit from the development efforts.

[Acts 1996, ch. 1032, § 5.]
