Before the organization can apply for the grant, they must be licensed and regulated by the state where they operate. Further, the facility must have enough room to accommodate living spaces, a kitchen, a recreation area and office spaces. Funds may be used for general conversion purposes and for the creation of common or office spaces. Grant amounts will vary on need.
