• Applications to the Balanced Housing program that are feasible, but for which state funds are not available;
• Applications from developers in municipalities where there is a demonstrated need for affordable housing, but are not eligible for Balanced Housing funds; and
• Areas where there is demonstrated need for affordable housing and other sources of federal funds, such as HOME and Community Development Block Grants, are not available from the local jurisdiction.
