Local jurisdictions must spread housing assistance across their area based on need. States must do the same statewide, including fair amounts for rural areas. States and local governments must coordinate when needs overlap.

(a) Local: Each participating jurisdiction must, as much as it can, spread assistance under this part across its area and among the different kinds of housing need. It follows the priorities laid out in its own approved housing strategy. (b) State: States that participate must spread their assistance across the whole state, based on their own assessment of where the housing need is, as described in their approved housing strategy. States must send assistance to rural areas in amounts that reflect two things: the share of the state's population living outside metro areas, and objective measures of rural housing need — like poverty and substandard housing — set out in the state's approved strategy under section 12705. When a need falls inside a participating local government's boundaries, the state and that local government must coordinate their activities to address it.

(a) Local

Each participating jurisdiction shall, insofar as is feasible, distribute assistance under this part geographically within its boundaries and among different categories of housing need, according to the priorities of housing need identified in the jurisdiction’s approved housing strategy.

(b) State

Participating States shall be responsible for distributing assistance throughout the State according to the State’s assessment of the geographical distribution of the housing need within the State, as identified in the State’s approved housing strategy. Participating States shall distribute assistance to rural areas in amounts that take into account the nonmetropolitan share of the State’s total population and objective measures of rural housing need, such as poverty and substandard housing, as set forth in the State’s housing strategy approved under section 12705 of this title. To the extent the need is within the boundaries of a participating unit of general local government, the State and the unit of general local government shall coordinate activities to address that need.
