Recently, the Biden-Harris administration issued important updates to the Office of Management and Budget’s Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance, also known as the “Uniform Grants Guidance,” which sets parameters for how states and localities, and others, can spend federal money and award it to private entities.
These updates streamline and clarify requirements that will give state and local governments more opportunities to ensure federal funds are used efficiently while also advancing specific community goals and initiatives like good jobs, equity in recruitment and hiring, environmental sustainability, and uninterrupted delivery of services.
