Exhibit 2 <br />In order to qualify as an underserved and low-income community, a project must be <br />"Located Within" and "Provide Benefits To" the selected community. To be considered <br />"Located Within", eighty percent (80%) or more of the physical project for capital projects <br />or eighty percent (80%) or more of the program participants for programming projects <br />must be within the selected community. <br />This program intends to award a minimum of 90 percent of all grant funding to projects <br />located within and providing benefits to underserved and low-income communities. <br />Projects that meet the underserved and low-income community approach as defined will <br />be the most competitive. <br />Other Funding Considerations <br />In evaluating project proposals, scores are used to determine initial rankings and facilitate <br />discussions for each proposal among a multidisciplinary team. To achieve equitable <br />distribution of funds, the State may consider additional factors including, but not limited <br />to, geographic distribution of funds, priority populations, previous grant performance, <br />disadvantaged community status, and feasibility to accept partial funding. <br />In addition, projects must: <br />1. Comply with all labor codes; <br />2. Comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Division 13, <br />commencing with Section 21000 (if applicable); and <br />3. Provide public access. <br />Website addresses and links to legislation and other available resources and reference <br />materials may be found in Appendix M. <br />Examples of Potential Funded Activities <br />This program is a competitive grant program to support public programs, educational <br />programs, job training programs, outreach programs and small capital asset projects to <br />support youth access to natural or cultural resources. <br />For the purposes of this program, 'capital project' means a project involving tangible <br />physical property with an expected useful life of 10 years or more. A capital project is the <br />acquisition of tangible, physical personal property or the development of tangible, physical <br />real property, including costs of construction. For the purposes of this program, capital <br />projects are broken into two categories: capital development projects and capital vehicle <br />acquisition projects. All projects, both capital and programming, must serve youth as <br />defined. <br />Applicant must propose a program project or a capital project or a combination of a <br />program and capital project. For combination projects the program and capital aspects <br />must directly tie to and support each other. <br />Below is a list of eligible project activities. Activities are divided between programming, <br />capital, and combination projects. This is not a comprehensive list of examples. <br />3 <br />55B-12 <br />
