commitments to increase the effectiveness of the proposed program 
activities (see Appendix A of this NOFA for Sample Worksheet 7 (Match 
Funding) and Worksheet 8 (Grant Partners)). Resources may include cash 
or in-kind contributions of services, equipment, or supplies allocated 
to the proposed program. Resources may be provided by governmental 
entities, public or private organizations, and other entities 
partnering with you. Leveraging arrangements with rental property 
owners may have the benefits of increasing the efficiency of public 
lead hazard identification and control expenditures and creating a 
financial stake for rental property owners in the quality of lead 
hazard control work. Contractual or other formal relationships with 
grassroots, faith-based, or other community-based organizations are a 
requirement for state and local government applicants. Documentation of 
relationships with grassroots, faith-based, or community-based 
organizations must be provided in this application either in the form 
of signed agreements or commitment letters. This requirement does not 
apply to Native American Tribe applicants. You also may partner with 
other program funding recipients to coordinate the use of resources in
