organizations to provide critical financial and technical assistance to recipients to develop and strengthen their capacity to carry out housing, community facilities, and community and economic development projects.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="gdp" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Times","serif";color:black">"Many rural nonprofits often need capital and technical assistance to carry out their missions," Vilsack said. "These grants will provide both of
these components through local and regional organizations that are experts at delivering such services."

grants in recent years to help low- and very-low-income seniors maintain their independence and remain in their homes through the Keeping Seniors Home Program. Started in 2004, this program has served nearly 3,000 low-income senior homeowners in Maine. WMCAP
is also working on a regional job creation plan to train energy auditors, private contractors, and other community partners to provide additional support services to Maine's elderly rural citizens.
