( DISCUSSION POST DIRECTION)
Grant Funding: Categorical Versus Block
For this discussion, consider the following:
You apply for federal help in funding a program aimed at improving minority health care in your area. The program serves people of all ages who are suffering from specified ailments, but has a means testing eligibility requirement that limits aid based on income level. Investigate which type of grant funding, categorical or block, would be better for this program, and provide resources to substantiate you choice.
Use this unit’s readings to inform your discussion.
