# 1303.42 Eligibility to purchase, construct, and renovate facilities.
Before a grant recipient can apply for funds to purchase, construct, or renovate a facility under § 1303.44, it must establish that:
(a) The facility will be available to Indian Tribes, or rural or other low-income communities;
(b) The proposed purchase, construction, or major renovation is within the grant recipient's designated service area;
(c) The proposed purchase, construction, or major renovation is necessary because the lack of suitable facilities in the grant recipient's service area will inhibit the operation of the program; and
(d) The proposed construction of a facility is more cost-effective than the purchase of available facilities or renovation.
