Solicitation for Grant Applications announcing the competition.

areas by taking into consideration such factors as the following:
    (1) The poverty rate in urban and rural communities;
    (2) The number of people in poverty in urban and rural communities; 
and
    (3) The quality of proposals received. (WIA sec.169(a) and (e).)
