# §200506. Non-Federal share of project costs

- (a) **Sources.—**
  - (1) **Allowable sources.—** The non-Federal share of [project](/usc/54/200401.md?p=4) costs assisted under this chapter may be derived from general or special purpose [State](/usc/54/200102.md?p=4) or local revenues, [State](/usc/54/200102.md?p=4) categorical grants, special appropriations by [State](/usc/54/200102.md?p=4) legislatures, donations of land, buildings, or building materials, and in-kind construction, technical, and planning [services](/usc/54/100102.md?p=4). Reasonable local costs of recovery action program development to meet the requirements of [section 200504(a) of this title](/usc/54/200504.md?p=a) may be used as part of the local match only when the local government has not received a [recovery action program grant](/usc/54/200501.md?p=6-A).
  - (2) **Non-allowable sources.—** No amount from the Land and Water Conservation [Fund](/usc/54/200301.md?p=1) or from any other Federal grant program other than the community development block grant programs shall be used to match Federal grants under this program.
- (b) **Encouragement of States and Private Interests.—** The [Secretary](/usc/54/100102.md?p=3) shall encourage [States](/usc/54/200102.md?p=4) and private interests to contribute, to the maximum extent possible, to the non-Federal share of [project](/usc/54/200401.md?p=4) costs.
