If the <br />information is not there, contact the agency or department directly. <br /> <br />What key Web sites should be monitored regularly for ARRA information? <br /> <br />www.recoverv.aov <br />www.arants.aov <br />www.recovery.ca.QOv <br />www.cacities.oralfederalstimulus <br /> <br />My shovel ready project doesn't exactly fit the ARRA grant guidelines, what is the next <br />step to try to get funding for my project? <br /> <br />The best course of action in this situation is to contact the agency or department issuing the funds <br />directly and find out if there are other programs or non-ARRA funds that may apply to the project. <br /> <br />Are projects funded through ARRA exempt from CEQA or NEPA? <br /> <br />No. <br /> <br />Can cities apply jointly for ARRA funds? <br /> <br />Each program is different so it is important to check the grant application guidelines for <br />information. <br /> <br />Can League staff tell me If my city's project will qualify for ARRA funding? <br /> <br />League staff does not have the authority to determine whether specific projects qualify. Cities are <br />encouraged to contact the responsible regional. state, or federal agency directly. League staff has <br />indicated who the responsible agency is for each program in the City Funding Book. <br /> <br />Can the League assist my city In writing a grant application? <br /> <br />The League does not have grant writers on staff and does not maintain a list of grant writers. <br />Contact cities in your area for references for freelance grant writers or visit the League Partners <br />Web site htto:/Iwww.cacities.ora/leaaueoartners for a list of Partners that offer grant writing <br />services. <br /> <br />2 <br />
